Time management {Quilting}

Wednesday, 16 January 2013

Quilting has been on hold since Baby MiH. It is easier to knit or crochet. However this morning, I had a two-hour slot to get my fabric ready, do the cutting, and start on the latest pattern I drew one evening some time ago. It was not meant to be a quilting project, but then it became obvious it should be!
Section of the pattern

I am still on a de-stashing mission - and I did not have all the colours of the original pattern. I decided to switch to a new colour scheme following the Marimekko Lumimarja fabric I bought ages ago. I had all the right colours! 


It is all cut ready to be sewn together during the next sleeping slot!

I cannot wait to see it finished. I really love this colour scheme, feels like winter in fabric!

    I love that you're crafting busily during nap time. I hope that I can follow your example some day. The quilt design looks very pretty and I'm sure it's going to be gorgeous in the colors you're using.

    The design looks fantastic - I bet it looks great as a quilt. Well done on having any sort of time management with a 1 month old!!

    I too, gave up quilting for knitting once my girls got more mobile. Still have a lot of tops that need put together. And lots of fabric I couldn't part with. But did give loads away. Will have to revisit those tops someday. Good luck with time to quilt!

    When your little one is that small there are lots of small slots of time I remember...looks like you have a plan and can't wait to see more. The sneaky peek looks very lovely indeed.

    For you to be able to concentrate and have the energy for such tasks with a newborn about is amazing!
