I love homemade quilts. The scrappier (quilts made from scrap pieces of fabric), the better. I actually have two handmade quilts from my Friend, whose me-maw (grandmother) had sewn and made from scraps of fabric. Each of her quilts are barely big enough to cover a full size bed, but are still in good shape and can still help keep a person warm. I really love the quilt pictured above. I don't know why, but I love how all the colors come together.
Well, I have lots of quilting projects still in process (with the intent of becoming a blanket). Today, I decided to finally just figure out how many more blocks I needed in order to finish one of my darn blankets. I've been making a quilt using nine-patch blocks. I'm embarrassed to say that this project is probably ten years old. Over the years, I'd work on one block at a time and only if I felt like it. Today, I finally got tired of wondering how many blocks were needed so that I could finish the darn blanket and laid it all out all the squares I had. I originally intended for the blanket to be queen-size, but given the time I have not devoted to it, I'm happy with the blanket being a full-size. Anyhow, I'm half way there. I actually got some more blocks done today and just want this project finished. Of course, I'll keep you updated.
Are you working on any lingering projects?
