I finally stopped procrastinating....

and finished the Fab Farm quilt top this weekend. I really just don't love doing sashing and borders so I always procrastinate finishing a quilt. It was time to buckle down and get this one done. I absolutely love the quilt and now I need to think about dyeing a quilt back.
​

With the quilt top done I could put up the veterans quilt blocks on the design wall. This is going to be a fine veterans quilt but, I have to admit that it's not one of my best quilts. There's not enough value difference in some of the blocks. Once it's quilted with some stars and ribbons, it will be improved. I'll look at the arrangement for a couple of days. I won't be sewing again until the weekend, after Mom and I get back from our little adventure.
​

The truth about my weekend is that I was more interested in crochet than sewing. After finishing the blue blanket I needed to start a new blanket. I have way too much yarn, all of it purchased on sale, so I have a lot of options. I decided to do this pink yarn because I already had a pattern picked out. I made this blanket 3 years ago with the same yarn in blue. It's a pretty and easy pattern, perfect for watching TV. During Saturday football I got this started.
​

During Sunday football I worked on the hat yarn that I pulled out a couple of weeks ago. These are made from 6 weight yarn and I had enough for 3 hats. This is the pattern that I used with an L hook. It only takes about an hour to make one of these hats but I won't buy 6 weight yarn again but these will be toasty warm for someone.
​

Next I will work on emptying this bin of 5 weight yarn. The pattern is basically the same, just written for 5 weight yarn. I think I might get 8 - 10 hats from this bin.

Today I might have time to put the veterans quilt together. We leave for Asheville Tuesday so if I don't post tomorrow, I will not post again until Saturday.
