Rulers and Books, April Goals

I don't have a lot of quilting gadgets except for rulers.  I have a lot of rulers.  I believe in spending money on tools that make my cutting more accurate.  That allows my blocks to go together better, and I have to do less fudging.  It occurred to me the other day that it is kind of wasteful to buy a ruler and use it only once.  So now I'm going to try and make sure I use each of my specialty rulers in at least three quilts. I used Jaybird Quilts Hex N More and Side Kick rulers  when I made Gravity.

And I'm using them again in Daybreak.

I want to pick out and plan another Jaybird quilt pattern that uses these rulers. I want to go though all of my rulers, decide which ones are underutilized and make a plan of how to get them back into circulation.

Another of my long term goals is to look at my quilt books.  I shouldn't need to buy quilt books any time soon.  I have lots of them taking up space, and I haven't used most of them.  My new goal:  don't buy a quilt book unless I plan to make 3 of the quilts in that book.  The loophole?  Books that are gifts don't count, just the books I buy myself.  Also, if I choose to buy a quilt book, I'm going to try and find it used first.

As far as March's goals:

1.  Bind Wild and Goosey:  Done!
  
2.  Get POD2 ready for the longarmer: Done!

3.  Do the last two clues on Bricks, Steppingstones and Cobblestones:  Did the second to the last row and decided that was enough.  Done!

4.  Put the borders on Allietare:  Done!

5.  Finish the cross stitching on Scream House:  Not done.  I ran out of floss and had to order more online.  I've only a few more hours to go, Hope I can get it done before the next crazy quilting class starts this month.

6.  Keep up with Stars Around the Corner Clues:  Done!

7.  Continue to participate in Rainbow Scrap Challenge: Done!

So for April, I want to:
1. Sign up for next Crazy Quilting class and begin that stitching.
2.Bind Trents quilt.
3. Bind Amanda's quilt.
4. Finish Daybreak top
5. Evaluate rulers, books and think about a plan for them
6. Keep up with Stars Around the Corner Clues.
7. Continue to participate in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge
8. Pull out a UFO and make some progress.
9. Get red and white quilt to longarmer.
10.  Finish the cross stitching on Scream House.
