Phew. I have been knitting, but nothing finished yet. Mostly, I want to sleep. Deja vu, anyone?
But - I did get back a quilt I've been working on for AGES. I think I started this about 3 years ago, back when we had a queen sized bed. I was about 50% done with it, when Aaron and I got a new bedroom set. As we drove home (I was all excited about my new furniture) I realized that I needed to double the size of the quilt. It took another full year to finish up the piecing.
Totally worth the pain, I must admit:
This is the most 'arty' quilt I've ever made. I based it on a kit from Keepsake quilting (which isn't available anymore) but I needed to triple the number of squares to get this size.
Now I'm going to need to get new curtains (the ones I have now are Roman shades I made myself and let's just say it wasn't a great effort).
This is the biggest and most fabulous quilt I've ever made! When I put it on the bed last night, I just couldn't stop looking at it.
