It's been a few weeks since I've posted but I finally have a little movement in the stash numbers to report. This week I got around to quilting another baby quilt.
This is the last of 4 of the baby quilts that I made from my Leader/Ender last year. I pulled squares from the 2.5" drawer for the pastel 9-patch blocks.
My free motion is not as good as I'd like it to be, but hopefully a baby won't mind that they are all not perfectly proportioned. Just the binding to go and it will be done.

On the knitting front, I finished the Drops Fabel socks. These were started at the end of January! Why it took so long, I can't say other than I've been busy with other things, I guess.
Now, I get to play with all those luscious scrappy leftover sock yarns from Carol at The Polka Dot Chicken.
I'm linking up with Judy at Patchwork Times.
I like the quilting on the baby quilt. Nice socks!
ReplyDeleteI love nine patch quilts and I'm sure a baby would love yours. Great socks, the vibrant color will be fun to wear. Sock knitting is rather addictive....
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, and the quilting is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour quilting and your socks look great! I look forward to seeing what you make with all the yarns!
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to get something in the used column. Leader/Ender projects always seem like a free quilt.
ReplyDeleteGood use of scraps in the quilt. Love the socks!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I do love a good scrap quilt and soon will be trying some scrappy socks, thanks to a generous blog reader. Can't wait to see them take shape.
DeleteP.S. You came up as a no reply comment blogger, just in case you didn't know.
Beautiful baby quilt! The quilting looks great. Congrats on both finishes. What plan do you have the scrap yarn?
ReplyDeleteI love the baby quilt, and I reallt like how you quilted it. It added so much texture to it. Just keep practicing, and you'll be perfectly proportional in no time. (At least that's what I've heard...😀)
ReplyDeleteCute baby quilt, and I WISH my machine quilting looked as good as yours does!!
ReplyDeleteLOL...we all either need to find a way to quilt and knit in our sleep or add more hours to the day in order to get all of our projects done.
ReplyDeleteThat is a darling baby quilt - I've never seen a 9-patch quilt I didn't like and I'm betting the baby will love it!
Are all of those curves from the quilting?! I can't get over how gorgeous that looks. And I'm pretty sure you've made up my mind which skeins of Fabel I'm casting on with next. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the colors and the quilting looks great!! No baby will cry over a few funny curves
