Making my own quilt kits
#11
I picked up the idea from Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville: she kits "leaders&enders" to make small blocks like bow ties, spools and such to keep by your machine. I've done a shoe box full of bow ties, time to start joining those together. M y stast is not big enough for anything large, nor is my patience.

I have a cubbie shelve and in each is a basket of fabric and pattern of my " I want to do one day" quilt projects. I have several ideas I want but still collecting fabrics for some. Some I bought everything for and it is waiting for it's turn on the to do list. Currently, I have nine projects in the works and about 5 in the cubbie.

I do make up the quilt kits when I buy a pattern I know I want to make right away. I even try and put the backing in there too. I keep them separate from the rest of the fabrics so I don't use it for something else. I have made the mistake of grabbing a piece for another project and then I can't find a good alternative when I go to make the quilt. Live and learn, I guess. Then sometimes I can't find one or two of the fabrics for a while so they sit there. (I don't like this part.) When the batting is on sale, I buy all the ones I have planned. Everything right there... love that.
