I finished the small throw/kid quilt I started last weekend. This is the first quilt I did entirely by machine – the piecing, the quilting and the binding. I did a very simple square outline for the quilting, and I will admit that while attaching the binding by machine is quicker than hand-sewing it on, I don’t like the finished look as much. Regardless, this one is done, it’s been washed and dried and I will be sending it on to Lifting Hands International for their refugee efforts this week (along with a few hats I’ve finished recently.)
This is a simple quilt using a Riley Blake set of fabrics cut into 5×5” blocks. The backing is the gray version of the owls print.
Very happy with how soft this is now that it’s been washed and dried. I hope it keeps a little one warm this winter and maybe provides some comfort during an unsettled or scary time in their life.
I also made some progress on my Book Club Cardigan this week. The V-neckline shaping is done and the fronts are worked to the point I can join everything to work the fronts and back at the same time.
I’m hoping to get that started tonight and work along on the body a bit this week.
Additionally, I added some rows to my Faded Stripes shawl but it looks pretty much the same so I will spare you a repeat photo. I also have started prepping the appliqué pieces for the next set of 4 Jane Austen Anniversary Quilt blocks but not much to see there either.
If you’re on the east coast or otherwise impacted by winter weather, stay warm and safe YOP’ers! I’ll be taking next week off for some vacation time so will catch up with you in a few!
