minute by minute

A few weeks ago, Madam Samm from Sew We Quilt posted about planning your time with a timer. You can go here to read her post.  Really this is not a new concept for me, I have just become lazy and forgot to do so.  Today, I decided to get back into it with the hopes of getting the most out of my day.

I set the timer on my phone for 3 one hour segments throughout the afternoon to see how much I achieved while the hour was ticking down.

Since I finished block 10 of my Teddy Bear Tea Party, I prepared block 11.

here is a sneak peek of the fabrics I used.
 

I auditioned fabrics for block 12 and cut out the shapes ready to be placed on the background.

Then I started on My Garden.  With only two more blocks to stitch, I decided to get them both ready for stitching.

In my last hour, I auditioned fabrics for Block 5 of Farmyard Frolics.  I have changed the original block and used another of Sally's patterns to put in the quilt. I prepared all the applique  pieces to be placed on the background and then my last hour was up!

 At the end of August, (can't believe we are already halfway through this year) this is a rundown of my projects:
