I know, I know. It's like a running joke here in my blog and in my house. Seriously, my Mister Man wonders when I'm going to actually finish a quilt because I keep on starting quilts, but never finishing. Well, I hope to prove him wrong this fall.
I decided in September or October that I wanted to make a quick quilt for someone special. I purchased a precut bundle known as a "jelly roll." Then yesterday, I just sewed each piece together and the little quilt top quickly came together. (Seriously, the more simple the quilt, the easier it is to get done!) I would have progressed a lot faster, but a bulk of my time was also spent taking care of my son. Now, all I need to do is get some backing fabric and sandwich my quilt. Then I will have to decide if I'm going to quilt the whole blanket or just tie it together with strings. Before I know it, I'll bind my quilt and finally be done.
I have a deadline and I know that I will be extremely busy with the upcoming year, so this quilt needs to be done soon. I really do hope that I can share a finished quilt with you all in a couple of weeks or months.
What have you been up to lately?
