A Change of Plan.

A couple of posts ago I showed progress on my Scrappy Triangles project. I had started to put them together. I thought I might make two lap size quilt tops. I got the first one to this stage and pinned it up to await borders.

It looked so small But I told myself that once it had borders it would be fine.

I carried on making triangles, one a day and carried on looking at the piece I had pinned up and thinking that it was very small.

Then yesterday I stopped thinking about it and did something.

LOL

I added another row of triangles to the bottom and another column to the left side. That was way better, even without borders.

Next I enlisted the help of some friends. Janice is on her holidays on the other side of the world, so I guess she was asleep when my message arrived, but Chooky was available and suggested the red narrow border inside the blue.

So that is what happened. And Voila!

A completed top.

The days are grey and not very good for photography, so I apologise for this poor image. Hopefully I'll be able to get a much better image once it's quilted.

For now it is sat on the to be quilted pile. 

Which is growing again.

I must do something about that.

Something else that is growing is the crochet blanket I've been working on.

Last night I started the edge treatment.

The final round is a pretty shell edge.

I should get it completed this evening and add it's Loulee label.

Then I will need to find something else to keep my lap warm on these cold evenings.

I have two days of May left and no completed cross stitch ornament and not much progress on my Wind Swept blocks. I had better get myself in to gear and get stitching.

Good thing I'm on my days off.
