Scrap Patrol Control

I told you about my search and destroy mission looking for my block.  Which was right where it was supposed to be.

I created this huge mess digging through my scrap box.

I have been doing a lot of reading and game playing, and not much else at the daughter's house.  I just haven't had time to prep to get ready to sew.  I decided maybe I would remedy that.  I grabbed a gallon baggie and stuffed a handful of scraps into the bag to take with me, as well as a ruler, cutter, and medium cutting mat.

I set up an ironing station on my featherweight card table that I keep at the daughter's and right behind it a cutting station on the daughters dining room table.  I ironed all of the scraps and started cutting.  I only got through about 1/2 the bag, but I did get a lot accomplished.

A bunch of squares for my yoyo quilt I am working on.

About 40 of these 2 1/2 inch tumbler blocks.

A bunch of 1/2 inch hexies.

Some 5 inch squares, 2 1/2 inch squares, 2 inch squares, and 1 1/2 inch squares and 1 inch strips and squares.

A bag full of 2 1/2 inch strips, 2 inch strips, and 1 1/2 inch strips.

Some small scraps for a new fun project that I saw on Facebook.

Some Dresden wedges.

Diamond sections for a DIT.....I just had to have after seeing Kris's at Kris Loves Fabric.

I also discovered that I had some large pieces that I could makes some Kite table toppers.  Um yeah another search and destroy mission in the sewing room to find the ruler today.

I also had some cool pieces that would look nice in the Country Charmer quilt that I started forever years ago.

I also have some more pieces pressed and ready to be trimmed down.

Oh and that center block which I was looking for?  I got that section done.  Wow I can see that my sewing skills were not too great when I started this a few years ago.  We are a wee bit stretchy, but my points match.  LOL 

It is so nice having some stuff prepped and feel like somethings are getting accomplished.
