Iβm using this cute notebook by Moglea to keep track of my WIPs. I love its simplicity. As I run into a wip, I write it down. I can easily look at the list and find something small to finish quickly, while also keeping track of my biggest project. Completing a quick task gives me an endorphin boost and helps me focus on the larger one.
This week, I finished the adding bindings for Cog & Wheel and the Mini Logcabin block. Iβve been working on them at night while watching TV with my husband. My biggest project right now is the t-shirt quilt, which Iβm eager to finish.
