Wednesday's Work in Progress

I finished a few quilts lately: a baby quilt and two a little bigger.
A friend of mine was expecting and I was sure she was going to have another boy as I can imagine her easily with a flock of sons around her.
Then she had a girl and I had to adjust.

I made a quick and easy quilt for her baby girl:


Don't you love IKEA?
And one for her two year old son



The original quilt will be for another friend of mine who requested a playmat for her baby son.
It's made of bits 6 old shirts,  1 old dress and 1 old curtain all from the trhift shop. It'll get a red border a both of these need to be quilted and bound. Today and tomorrow!

So I'm very happy everything has turned out well for the moms, their babies and the quilts! (&me)

I'll be linking up to Felicity wo's guest posting at Lee's Freshly Pieced.

Not so great, that happens too.

Hi, back again? That's very good of you, thanks.

I've been suffering from migraine, so it seems. Well anyway, that's what my GP told me.
I thought it was just me having a day off and sleeping all day long ;)  Funny thing was it felt like I'd been drinking all night, the next morning, but I hadn't. I just thought I hadn't slept enough, or that it was thing thing women of my age go through. I'd grow over it!
By now it's every week: a few days in bed.
So the process of elimination has started: which pills work best for me. That'll do the trick, I'm sure.
If you don't hear from me within a week, you'll know why.

However,  I've been working on a project I had already cut fabrics for a few months ago.
I'd cut it wrong so I slung it into a corner.
But it needed to be done and now it's nearly finished and I don't think it looks too bad.
It doesn't quite have the effect I wanted it to achieve: subtle, neutral colours, but in a way that you'd still be able to see the effect of the interlocking pinwheels. I used the tutorial of Two Dogs and a Quilt, of course.
No title yet.
Any suggestions?


PS And I've had my hair cut: really short!
