A bit of quilting, a bit of knitting and possibly some avoidance

I spent a couple of hours layering the eight donation quilt tops I've made in the past few months so that I could get them done. I have two quilted and ready to donate to the local Project Linus chapter, six more to go.




I also layered the quilt from leftovers, but I think this is where the avoidance comes in - I'm not sure how I'm going to quilt it. I usually just start with a vague idea in my head as to how I will do it and just go from there, but so far my vague idea hasn't inspired me to start. I also have two other quilts laying around that are waiting for some big chunky hand stitching. So instead of jumping in and working on the big pieces that I don't want to screw up, I'm do the simple give away ones. At least I'm thinking about what I might do with the others.

I've also been knitting, I finished the first sock of my second pair. It took me two months to do one sock, so this pair will be for next winter.



And here are #26 thru #30 of my daily project.

Daily project update

Today is day 25 of my year long stitching project, so I put all of them in order starting with the upper left. I'm really enjoying doing these, trying out some different stitches and just seeing what happens every day. Many of the squares I cut have very similar patterns on them, so I'm trying to make each one different.



I'm also playing with my tree ideas. This one is about 13" square and I've done machine stitching to make the trees. It still needs more stitching.

Top done

I've got the quilt top made from the leftover fabrics from my "65" project all piece. There will be more leftovers on the back along with a larger piece of fabric fabric that's currently in a dye bath. I've got a binding pieced from the leftovers ready to go. There's still more leftovers, but they've been put away for awhile.



Here are #18-#20 of my daily project.
