My friend Sarah kicked off a 100 day project last week. It started September 23 and runs to the last day of the year. I decided to join in and use the project to tackle my scraps!
A recent (and yes still in progress!) decluttering of all my fabric uncovered several plastic bags full of scraps. My goal for these 100 days is to sort through these and sew them together to make blocks, throw them out, or put them aside for a very specific project. Whatever happens, it is about 100 day of play - sewing and playing with fabric without a goal in mind. I suspect a goal may develop over time but that isn't where I am starting.
At the end of the year, all my bags of scraps should be gone and I should have a stack of scrappy squares to be used for a new quilt or to make bags.

My goal for October is to make a whole bunch of squares! I will be linking up with One Monthly Goal hosted by Anne-Marie from Stories From the Sewing Room!
I wish I'd heard about the 100-day along before it started! As it was, I was two days late already by the time I came across it. Oddly enough, our Central Florida MQG program on September 9 was all about 100 Days of something... or 30 days or 60 days. I've never participated in a #Days commitment, so the last 100 days of 2023 would have been fun. Thinking now that I might do "100 Days Before QuiltCon," but even that might be problematic with some time away from home. Anyway, I admire you for tackling scraps! That's precisely what I did in April, and it was such a gratifying feeling to "make fabric" and turn it into something - in my case, two large quilts, both of which are completely finished now. Sigh. What a feeling! Hope you reach that end-feeling too!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great plan and fantastic way to work through your scraps. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds like fun! But I wouldn't want to be without some sort of scrap bin!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up! I'll be watching with envy as you use all your scraps. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat goal. I may have to start something like this to start using up all those ittyy bitty bits of fabric that I cannot part with.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun! I’ll be watching to see how it’s done! 🙂 I need to do something similar, but I’m knee deep in finishing UFOs. So maybe another time!
ReplyDeleteHi Patty, good luck with your 100 days project. I've done a couple of them and a general goal as opposed to a specific project is what got me through it. It can be lots of fun although it took me well over 100 days to get to 100 :-) Thanks for the linking parties - they have been lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the 100 day project. I was thinking a similar thing with my bags of project leftoevers. I hope to join you in a small way and do one a month!
