Changes

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. 

Here are a few pieces cut.

I now have a 2" tall pile of 1 1/2" squares.  I have these trays I saved from a pig out we had at work last year which will make great storage for the cut scraps. Tomorrow I will show you how I am going to store the trays and the scrap problem I have.  I just have too much good stuff to just pitch.  Hopefully have made some progress on the whole cloth quilt too.
