There are two acronyms that are used regularly on the Yahoo group Stashbuster. WITB stands for what's in the box or bag or basket. It is meant to be a decluttering/organization challenge. One of the ladies on the list has 222 bins that she wants to go through. She is working towards a goal of one a week planning to toss or rehome or use the contents. Quite a few of us picked up on this challenge and are working similarly. Not all my B's are quilt related but I may share a few of the quilt related ones from time to time.
I had these three bins sitting next to the door of my sewing room.
I peeked inside all three. Two are projects I bought fabric for and want to make soon. The third had fabric leftover from a quilt top that is now a flimsy. That fabric was intended for the binding but due to miscuts there is not enough. There were some other bits in there. It's all put away or thrown away and I have an empty project bin. Wish they'd all be this easy!
The other acronym is WAYWO which means what are you working on? I thought I'd show my next little project up on the block. This is made from orphan blocks that I got from Grace and are now a top. I have it laid out here selecting thread for quilting and trying to decide on a quilting pattern for it. I plan to donate this to the Mesquite Quilt guild for their miniature silent auction at the next quilt show in June.
I'm thinking about a 1 inch grid crosshatch at the moment. I'll think about it for just a little bit longer before I begin. My other thoughts were to outline stitch around the churndash but the thought of the crosshatch pleases me.
WAYWO??

my internet is crappy today, so I can't see any pictures. But I like both ideas. If I remember and if I ever get my stuff back together again.......
Whew! I'm glad I don't have 222 bins to go through! The ones I have are bad enough. This is a good idea. One of my goals is to have fewer bins sitting around with stuff in them.
222 bins? That is a lot to deal with! I made a vow years ago not to buy any more bins and that if I needed a bin I had to empty one I already owned. It scares me to even think about adding up what I have especially the bins with scraps that I refuse to just toss. I guess I should add that to my list of goals - empty one bin a month. That sounds reasonable! LOL!!! Congratulations for you emptying one!
What am I working on? Finishing the fourth veteran top. Then there that bin I need to get to ...
