I usually just remove the rows as I am sewing, 1 & 2 to start, then 3 to add to them, then 4 to add to 1,2,& 3, etc. This time I needed the whole quilt off the wall so I did it this way.

Such a great idea with the calendar, Wanda! The triangle quilt is looking wonderful.
Flowers blooming INdoors -- for a moment there I thought you meant outside! That would have been amazing! Good idea about the calendar. I just scribble the numbers on a bit of paper, which I always mean to keep and somehow never do ...
Oh my gosh that is the coolest idea! Thanks for sharing. The flower. Wait. Let me go back to that. I got all sidetracked with the great idea. Early morning light bulb moments throw me off... hee. The blooming bulb is so neat and all I can think to say about the Christmas cactus is gosh that's so amazing!
Cool! Your use of the calendar numbers rocks. Simple ideas are the best. The quilt is gorgeous. Karmen
Great calendar idea! I just pulled off "February" and will not throw it away. Thanks!
The calendar tip is excellent!
The quilt looks just fabulous! What a great idea with the calendar. I usually use little sticky notes, but this is so much better. I can't believe your Christmas cactus is blooming again, just beautiful!
Great Calendar idea. The quilt is fabulous.
Wanda this is coming along so good. Was there a specific pattern you used?
Your blooomin' flowers are a delight...in your container and in your quilt. Can't wait to share the calendar idea with my quilting friends at our meeting Thursday.
Thanks for sharing your step-by-step quilt construction on your design wall. I can't wait to get cutting.
LOVE the calendar idea! I spend so much time arranging my quilt blocks, and then always manage to mess them up when sewing them together! Not anymore! Not to mention it will save me running back and forth between the sewing machine and the quilt! Thanks!
The flowers are gorgeous. Just what we need in the cold, gray, seemingly endless winter. But it's March now, so there's hope! :D
What a great idea to use an old calendar. Great recycling! Terry
Wow,this quilt is my favorite this week....I love HSTs......love them and you have really done a great job. BTW, thanks for the tutorial of taking the rows down and keeping up with what's what!!!
The hst quilt looks just awesome!!!
I love the idea of using an old calendar to mark the rows.
The amaryllis is such a gorgeous color and I have always loved the Christmas cactus. How nice to have color like that in the winter!
I love the idea of using a calendar for row markers and I've always got more calendars than I can use. I'm going to punch a hole in the center so I can lace the pin through that area. That should make the numbers last longer....maybe even laminate them with some clear Contac first. Thanks for the great tip!
What a lovely blog......I just spend a great hour looking at your creations..thanks for some new inspiration.
Beautiful quilts!
Happy sewing
What a great idea using the calender, thank you for sharing once again.
Your flowers are beautiful and help make the house look lovely and bright.
Couldn't say any better than the others but the calendar idea is great!
Wanda, using an old calendar page sure beats my 'old' way of cutting and numbering.
Thanks for the great tip!

What a great idea with the calendar! I'll take that to guild and give you credit!
You definitely have a green thumb, the blooms are amazing!
Fabulous idea for sewing the blocks...thanks for sharing it!
You are such a smart cookie! thanks for the great idea.
What a great use for an old calendar. You always amaze me!
Great tip for using numbers from an old calendar! With all this blooming going on spring can't be far away!
You the bomb girl. Love that quilt. I have been collecting ethnic. Think I may be making 1/2 square triangles soon. And, I will NEVER thow out another calendar.
Really enjoyed watching 'triangle' in progress. It is another beautiful creation.
Good tips, using old calendar numerals. I save the calendar photo's and cover my phone book covers with them.
As always your blooming flowers year long are always luscious.

What a brilliant use of an old calendar!! That is a fantastic idea and one I'm going to adopt!
what a super clever idea about reusing the calendar cut up to number your rows! How smart!!! Thanks for sharing this tip!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
Thanks for sharing your idea with the old calendar numbers. Great idea! Love your flowers as always.
There are flowers blooming all over the place at your house - in your quilts and in your pots. Thanks for sharing the calendar idea!
Using the old calendar for your labels on quilting pieces is a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful, Beautiful!!!! I have been following your journey.

Thta's exactly how I stack and move blocks too. I also make sure to put the number in the top left corner so I know which is the top left corner.
I love the calendar idea!
