My 5 were 1 child, 2 lap size, 1 twin and 1 queen. I do pantographs so it goes quickly.

It sounds like you've got the right idea and getting loads done. Did you mean that you finished piecing five quilt tops in the last 2 weeks? Yikes! <br /><br />I can't say enough about the habit of putting things away - like the trimmings of the quilts. I didn't do that at the beginning as I had no idea what to do with them. But I soon learned that you better deal with it. Now I'm meticulous about putting stuff away. <br /><br />I think we'll have to meet up one day - it sounds like we have a lot in common!!! Oh - you drink way too much tea and coffee for me! I have one cup of tea a day and I'm good. <br /><br />Have a super day!!!Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09654762599199404214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028034539470622344.post-76394636763224538942020-04-13T06:23:56.477-04:002020-04-13T06:23:56.477-04:00Anne--- That gave me a chuckle.

Also look at all those beautiful quilts you've finished over the years :O<br /><br />My first thought after seeing the side view of the quilt stack is that if anyone needs help finding a princess, we can just put a pea under all those quilts and you're ready to go!

Quilt 6 tops: 1 biggie for a friend and 5 I have finished in the last 2 weeks! ALL DONE!!!! I finished #6 about 830 last night.<br /><br />So happy with my week. <br /><br />I'm currently reading "Atomic Habits" and I'm reading it slowly-very unusual for me. This week's piece that resonates with me: stacking habits! It's the principle of adding to a routine that one never thinks about. To illustrate this principle...<br /><br />EAch morning I get up, get dressed in last night's clothes, make coffee, potty, brush teeth, fill my coffee cup and give my cat her thyroid med. I don't think about this, I just do it! So, my habit stacking? I will do 3 quick tasks that need to be done.<br /><br />This morning: 1. Remove last night's quilt from LA. 2. Trim the quilt and stow the trimmings where they belong, right away(a habit I developed long ago). 3. Cut glove fingers for the next week (thyroid is a cream applied in cat's ear). <br /><br />I generally drink 4mugs of (decaf) coffee. Then I switch to tea. While my 1st mug of tea is brewing, I do another task that needs to be done. Today that will be watering the house plants.<br /><br />I think this is going to serve me really well. Unlike you, I take in a lot of news-too much I know. It has led to far too much "butt time".<br /><br />I hope this description of the Habit idea helps others who read your blog. It was good for me to write it out and read it!<br /><br />Wishing everyone a wonderful day!Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06918153566288679035noreply@blogger.com
