Scraps tamed for now and a bit of quilting done

I didn't get as much as I wanted this weekend. I have been trying to get more exercise and it caught up to me Saturday. I was dog tired. I fell asleep twice during the day and still didn't have much energy. Between Saturday and Sunday I did get a bit of quilting done on the t-shirt quilt. These little ones don't take too long. I think it take longer to wind the bobbins and change the thread in the machine than to quilt each of these small pieces.
I laid out my containers of quilting thread since I am going to need a lot of different colors for this quilt.
I went thru the last of the scraps to find any pieces that would be big enough for curved topped pouches. I decided to clean up and straighten up the mountain of stuff I had on the other guest room bed. I didn't take a picture, but believe me it was big jumbled mess! Here it is now - from left to right, tops, zig zag blocks in front and flannel strips for a 4 patch flannel quilt, pieces pulled for a quilt top in front and tote bags piece in back, pieces and batting for curved top pouches, thread bed pieces and fabric, and a bag with two tops I might quilt for someone.
On the other bed I put some of the sorted scraps
The fabric storage room also looks a lot better with just a bit of time spent straightening up. We did get a bit of snow overnight.
Came into work this morning and we had no heat. It was 56 in here. Right now I am using one of the guy's space heaters since he left for the day so maybe I will be able to take off my coat and scarf soon.
