Messy Wednesday

On Monday I decided I needed to clear a drawer in my quilting room to store blocks and supplies for my QALs. The blocks I am making for the RSC13 are 12.5" unfinished and don't fit into my Artbin containers but a drawer would be perfect. One of the drawers contained lots of 5" charms and 2.5" strips that needed to be sorted and put away so I moved it out to the living room and dug in.

After 2 days of catching up on Season 1 episodes of Downton Abbey & Revenge (what do you think of that combo?), sorting charms and mindlessly dumping & grabbing stuff in my quilting room in between I have this mess to take charge of this morning. Ugh! Does anyone else make things worse in the process of trying to make things better?
On the positive side,  I have an empty drawer and 5 colors already picked out for RSC13. I needed to make some room in my charm bins and hadn't "played" with them for a long time so I thought I might as well take some extra time indulge in a few more episodes. So many pretty little squares!

Reds, yellows and blues.
Oranges and greens.
Can't wait!

What's Hot:

1. Project Linus quilts - I've got this Happy Block quilt ready for binding and 2 backings ready to sandwich.
2. Purple RSC13 Blocks

3. Christmas Stocking #2 - the gold fabric is for binding.  A very masculine feel to this one!

4. Triple Zip Pouch

I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday@Freshly Pieced.  Back to the mess...

  4. My husband is cleaning out his study and said much the same thing last weekend, it gets a whole lot worse before it gets better! Love that happy quilt you're giving to Project Linus.

  6. I am messy but not that messy. LOLLL There again that's probably because I have less space than you.
    Beautiful fabrics and quilt.
