I find when I am working on a quilt that my mind goes nutso and I start planning what I am going to do next. Then when the quilt is done and ready for the quilter's shop I am all ready to start on the next one. My break comes in when I fix the boxes that I have thrown my colors into. I separate the scraps from the larger pieces of fabric, throw the scraps into labeled baggies and they all go into a box. I found the neatest block to make from Quilter's Cache - 12". It is called Depression and it is a perfect block for the scraps. I think I will make a table runner next. That'll get rid of a lot of the scraps. All the patches are either light or dark, all different, whatever. So I always know what is next. I just put the sewing machine back in the case for a while and let it rest. It has been the busiest. Oh yah! I give it a good cleaning before it goes on vacation. Edie
