A Completed Project! (And it only took me a year!)

Wow.  I knew I'd written about this quilt before, but I had no idea just how much!  You can read about my process here, here, here, here and here.  Sadly, for the last nine months (yes, I'm ashamed to admit that) all that needed to be done to finish it was to complete the binding.

It is made from muslin that my MIL hand-dyed.  I feel good about it.

Closer...

I was also able to work on the spring wall quilt a little. I got the borders on and pinned the top, batting and backing together.

It's only about halfway quilted, but as I told my sister, it's not bad for only an hour here and there between working, cleaning and preparing for our big move.

Given my schedule for the next two weeks, I probably won't be able to finish it until the weekend of the 24th.

On Friday, I was able to finish a baby blanket I'd had sitting in a project bag for a few months. The baby is now four months old, but it's a good spring blanket. Here are a few pictures of the finished product:

IMHO, this was a very nice baby gift. The yarn was very soft - just what a baby would like to rub against their cheek.

Almost there...

So, I've cut up the pieces for the bottom section. These are the pieces in the process of being sewn together.

Here's everything together. Now just the borders to be put on.

Working really puts a crimp in the completion of projects, but at least I'm making progress.

Progress Made...

I'm about halfway through with the top. I miscalculated the number of triangles needed so now I'm cutting some more for the bottom half.

I think it's rather pretty.
