Sewing in the New Year

I began 2020 with a pile of scraps!  Honestly, I can't think of anything happier than that. 

After dumping out the green bin, I ironed and started trimming squares and strips for the three quilts I would like to finish this year.  2.5 inch squares will go into sprouts blocks.  I started that last year but only have about 3 month's worth. 
2 inch squares will go into nine patches for another nine carat diamond quilt.  I think this one is almost ready for assembly.   After that, I am thinking of a granny square quilt. 
The 1.5 strips are going to go into a soul searching quilt.  That block has been on my radar for several years now.  I think that will be my only new RSC quilt this year as I focus on finishing some ongoing projects. 

 I'm also focusing on smaller projects this year.  I think I need a few more place mats and zipper cases.  I searched desperately for my zippers yesterday, but don't know where they ended up after the move.  That meant a trip to Joann's this morning, where zippers were buy 3, get 3 free.  I needed 3 for the zipper pouches I had already cut, and now I have three more for next month. 

Kurt came with me, and we did some tile shopping.  The bathrooms are on our someday list, but for now, the master closet is ready for an update.  

 There is a wedding couple down on the beach taking photos right now.  I don't think its actually a wedding, but it is such a nice thing to look out and see the happy couple.
