Another project I managed to complete during my camera's demise was a little quilt for Project Linus using the dreaded (seemingly neverending) roll o' fabric. It was awesome because I started cutting on a Saturday afternoon, and had it quilted and bound by Sunday evening. Truly, it was instant gratification!
The pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman of Oh! Fransson, created for Sew, Mama, Sew! The free pattern is called "Charm Squares Baby Quilt." It was simple and fun to put together, and it let me use up a little of my stash.
It's a small quilt (about 30" x 40") and it was a perfect little weekend project. I was really feeling the need to actually finish something, as all of my current projects are pretty long-term affairs. So no fancy quilting here-- just some happy stippling.
I was able to turn it in at today's Project Linus workshop. Woo hoo!

ReplyDeleteOh Robin, so pretty! I need to knock out some cheerful baby quilts for friends at work. I think that is just the look to go for. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I just linked to your roll 'o fabric! How hilarious! I want one, bad. Mostly because it looks so cool. Do you hang it on a rod and just keep pulling on the end? lol
