Oh Scrap! : So Far Behind!

 What is the saying?  "The Busier I am, the more Behind I feel!" (Or something to that effect.)

It was another busy week and I don't have a lot of things to share today.




I did finish four more blocks for my Mercyful quilt.  I also have about 6 more blocks cut out and just waiting to be sewn in green and blue.




Here is my progress so far.  I STILL haven't gotten out my purple scraps but I am sure I will be able to find lots of large scraps in that color for more blocks.

I did finish my last two blue placemat tops.  I am hoping to quilt them up today sometime.  I can then focus on making some in purple while the purple bin is out.

I am just juggling too many projects right now!


*********************************************

It is now your turn to share what you are making with scraps.  Here are the details for linking up: 

  • This linky party is for any scrappy project - It can be in-process or a finished piece.
  • You can link up your blog post (not your homepage please) or Instagram photo from the past week that features your use of scraps.
  • If you are linking to a blog post, I ask that you link back to my blog somewhere in your post. So if you are writing about scraps, just get into the habit of including a link as there will be a linky party available every week!
  • If you are using Instagram, please use the hashtag #ohscrap.
  • This is a party so remember to socialize and comment on the posts of others.
  • Following my blog is not necessary but it sure would be great if you do! 

Quilting is more fun than Housework

I was under the impression that Juggle is your middle name :-D I understand the "too many things" all the time syndrome. Yesterday I sent Paul on a mission to fetch me a chair so that I could sew all day. And now that I have a more comfy chair I will be sewing all day long :-D
Loving your blocks.

Beautiful blocks! I think we're all time-stressed, there's so much to do! But I've noticed that quilters are seldom bored. It will all get done eventually.

You have a fabulous group of blocks going there, Cynthia!!! Don't worry about purple--we're just barely halfway through July. There's still plenty of time.

I think feeling behind on all of your projects just makes you normal, like the rest of us! Love the greens of your Positivity blocks, and the scrappy backgrounds, too. Have a great Sunday, Cyndy!

I always heard it "the busier I am, the behinder I get."

Those Merciful blocks look even better with the additional blocks. You are truly amazing and such an inspiration to me. There are times that I feel like you too so you aren't alone. Looking forward to your next post. . . .!!!!!

Yeah, we're all juggling these days, aren't we? I'm starting to think that Chaos may be my new BFF...

I get it. Life only gives us so many hours in the day. Use some of them to relax - at least a tiny bit. :-)

The blocks you've made, when paired with the ones you are going to add, will make a lovely quilt for a wonderful cause!
