I have been AWOL for a couple days because I am getting my routine revamped since I am now working from home again. The company started sending people home to work as of Tuesday. I do not know how long this will last, but the state of Ohio has a three week curfew starting tomorrow to try and keep people at home between 10 PM and 5 AM to limit contact by 20 to 25%. I got my computer set up and working so I am ready to go.
Meanwhile I stopped at the store a couple days ago and got this little cutting mat, some new small blades, and a little ruler that were on sale so I could start cutting scraps at lunch time at work after I was done walking. A few minutes here and there and I made some nice progress. I have piles of these little scraps that are from the lining part of the corners I cut out from making the boxy pouches. The outer body is interfaced so it is too heavy to use in piecing. I can get a 1 1/2" square out of each piece so I will have a great start for a postage stamp quilt.

We have 2 warm days coming up tomorrow and Friday. I hope you get the same for your walks. Warm at this time of year is cool in the sumnertime. I just wish the wind would die down a little.
Excellent use of your time! Good luck with your scrap management.
Oh, it does my heart good to see someone else saving good trays to use for quilting purposes!!! I thought maybe it was just me ;-)
Well you'll be saving some money and time on the commute! I started a postage stamp quilt in 1998. About 3 years ago I finally finished the top. The plan is for it to go on the long arm next! I guess every quilter should make 1 in a lifetime.
