Do you ever find you want to sew something simple and easy between quilts?

I make mainly scrap quilts, so between quilts I will make up. 4 or 9 patch blocks, I also sew strips on to telephone book pages trim them up they will come in nice and handy for borders of scrap quilts or cut onto blocks, these are both no brainers, but fill my urge to sew

for sure!!! It's the only way I work...lol. I always mix it up with other things like bags, clothes, placemats, mug rugs. I even made a quilted belt out of scraps for one of my kids. Right now I am working on some wonky stars. I made a baby quilt and that wasn't enough. I have another pile of them to make a quilted bag. I think I want to make it a little on the big side so I can bring all my crochet stuff with me to work. It's fun to change it up so your not always doing the same thing.

Without a doubt. Simple wall hangings, tote bags, wallets, mini quilts, table runners and other gift type items all make their way into my inbetween quilt time.
I also have UFO projects that I move back and forth to and this keeps me interested in each part of a project.

I do far more other sewing than I do quilting. Today, I showed a neighbor how to make the 5 piece button tissue cover (no button for me) and from beginning to end---------it took 15 minutes. A minute or two of that time was to scratch dog ears.
Also finished up 5 "pants" shopping bags, made up a new recipe for low cal veggie soup and played on the computer way too longl

I have overlapping projects to avoid having nothing to do when I finish a project. Right now I have a practice sandwich on the frame to try out different quilting designs...the ones by Leah Day are fun to do, flannels sorted out by color since I want to make everyone in the family a new flannel quilt this year, a Quilt of Valor started, three groups of fabrics, each with its own pattern, organized for future projects and lots of neckties washed and pressed for future small wall hangings....guess I better stop there!
