Here is another quilt that has taken a while to reach completion!
I started working on the blocks last spring, and blogged about them in July. Not much got done for a while after that, but in October, I finally gained some momentum and finished the top.
I used a snuggly red minky fabric for the backing:
And a fun stripe for the binding (I love striped bindings!)
I am loving the color combo in this quilt!
It's amazing what you can get done with a little momentum! I was inspired to continue working on my Salt Air Stars quilt after reaching the halfway point on Sunday. On Monday, I made two more blocks...
Today, I finished the last four...
...which inspired me to assemble the top!
Obviously, I wasn't inspired to iron it -- please pardon the wrinkles!
I have a piece of minky I'm thinking of using for the backing -- maybe I'll get to the quilting later this week!
Linking up to Needle and Thread Thursday at My Quilt Infatuation, and Work in Progress Wednesday at Freshly Pieced.
I love to be able to devote an entire evening and immerse myself in a project, but sometimes I forget that little steps add up to big goals!
Back in July, I blogged about this work-in-progress -- a 12 block lap quilt in Salt Air fabrics. The project sat in a bin next to sewing machine all summer while I worked on other projects. I've had a steady stream of custom orders on Etsy for several months, which is wonderful, but I often feel guilty working on another project when I know I have quilts with deadlines in the works.
Tonight, I decided to pull out the project for a little while, and in a relatively short amount of time, two more blocks were finished.
I'm now at the halfway point, and happy to see this coming together again. Hopefully, I can bring this one to completion sooner rather than later by remembering that a lot can be accomplished in little bits of time!
