By regular planning, you’ll be able to track the projects you already finished or projects that need to get done.
#4 Make Lists
Make a bucket list of projects that you want to start someday.
#5 Set a Realistic Time Frame
When planning how much time something is going to take you, add 30%. This will give you enough time to finish a quilt without rushing things.
#6 Menu Planning
If you know what you’re going to eat that day, you’ll have more time quilting. That’s why it’s recommended to make a weekly meal plan.
#7 Quick Clean Ups
Doing quick clean-ups around your quilting room can help you remember things you might already forget.
#8 Cut Out Multiple Projects At Once
If you have ideas for small projects, cut them out and prepare them all at one time. This will help you increase your productivity.
#9 Ready To Sew
By “ready to sew”, try to leave something ready to sew the next time you come into your quilting room. It can be some strip piecing, binding, or some half-square triangles.
#10 Ready To Take
Have a ready-to-take project if you’re going on a road trip, a ball game, or visiting a family. Ready-to-take project is a mini project that has mini charm squares and some templates. Throw this in your bag, so you’ll have something to do if you have spare time.
