Having finished my January WIP I have decided to make a start on my February WIP. According to the rules, so long as I don't FINISH the WIP until February then it counts as an entry into the final prize draw.
I have sewed all the 3.5" blocks together and if I leave it like this it will be a small quilt, about 20x30". That would make it a cute little bassinet or pram blanket (or humidicrib blanket if I donate it to a children's hospital).
I think, however, I will add a border of half-triangle squares to it. Just to make it slightly larger and I think the border frames and completes the flowers a bit more. What do you think? with the border added it will be ~30x35"
In an effort to completely stash-bust this project I will use this gypsy-esque floral on the back and bind with this yellow fat flat left over from some other project along the way.
Today I drove past Textile Traders on my way to buy some chicken satay sticks Mr Weezee (as you do) and I noticed they (Textile Traders that is) were having one of their "Buy 2 get 1 free" deals. So I popped in and stocked up on homespun for my Hounds tooth and Wonky Pirate quilt (some of my 12WIPSin2012 projects ===> see right).
