My husband is the best. Conor encouraged me to leave the baby with him and go out and do some things I’ve been wanting to do. Yesterday I went to Joann’s, Pier 1, Sunflower Market and the bank. Honestly, it was wonderful. Then I came home and began a new project. I was inspired to make a spiderweb quilt, which I have since discovered is a huge amount of work! And the blocks I’ve completed are far from perfect. This quilt will hopefully be about 60″ squared and I think it’ll be perfect for picnics and pool days next summer. The reason why I choose this is because I wanted something that I can gradually work on. Obviously I don’t know myself.
These first 2 photos are of my first blocks. After completing those, I decided that I wanted to have a solid coloured center to make things a little easier. I think I prefer the look too since I’m not the best quilter around. I can’t decide if I’m going to use the first two blocks for a doll blanket or make 2 more blocks like them and make a baby blanket (for a gift, not for Holly). Each block measures 15.5 inches.
Oh how I’ve missed my sewing machine!
