Neither Mom or I wanted to talk about or do anything related to her move yesterday. She got a day of rest and I got a day of yarn and thread. Yesterday afternoon I went to crochet with the local library group. I finished a winter hat that I started last month and then added the leftover yarn to my scrappy blanket. Whatever project I finish I add the leftover yarn to this blanket. It can probably be donated as a wheelchair blanket whenever it gets finished. The most important thing is that I don't have scrap balls of yarn. Then after dinner I got buys and got the veterans quilts quilted. I think I can get the last one loaded and quilted before we leave and might even be able to get one or more of them bound.....we'll see. I'm not making myself commit to it. Gail left a comment on the last post asking if there's a pattern for this quilt so I thought I'd share my "pattern" here. It's just a simple sashed quilt that I mocked up in EQ. The blocks are 12" finished so they are based on a 4" grid. The red and white could be cut from jelly roll strips (2.5"). The sashing and borders are all 3" finished. Ignore my diagram, I also made the top and bottom borders 3".
Gail, I hope this is enough to help you draft it out yourself. It's pretty straight forward. I hope everyone had a great weekend!

That is usually all I do as a “pattern” for myself. But I have found that everyone’s brain doesn’t work that way.

Thanks, Vicki. Unfortunately I can't figure it out but that's okay. I can just admire what you did. To me it looks like a 3" grid, so that's not going to work. I've taken a screenshot of your diagram so I might just look for a friendship block and go from there. Thanks again. I always enjoy your blog.

Great way to keep on top of yarn scraps and I really should follow your example. Usually my scraps end up going into toys for the grandies so they do get used up eventually. Comments are closed.
