    Default Snow Day Activities

    It is very snowy in Colorado today and I am working on organization. Since I moved I am now in a very small spare bedroom and I need to get alot more organized. So I decided that instead of cutting my strings and just throwing them in a bin, I will keep them more organized and they will take up less space. So here is one done and I have already filled one of these.

    Looking good! I was just watching Bonnie on Quiltville quilt cam and she was making 9 patch blocks for her Sister's Choice quilt re-make. I am tempted to use my strips for that pattern and your strips look perfect too.

    Looks perfect. I have started to stay "organised" after each project. Also, I try to do something with it as soon as it full so I don't get buried under it !

    Very nice idea. I have mine sorted, can either cut some as squares or use as strips. Not sure what I might do.

    I did that too! With two big bins full. Problem is , when I want a certain piece it's always on the bottom..so no more stacks. The tubs are just jumbled up again.

    Looks like you can make a quilt already. Good organization.
