This is our first posting for the year 2020 and I am
pleased to report I have a finish with the baby blanket.
I would have liked to have quilted around each of the triangles but with the time restraint to get it in the mail to the shower in time, I opted for only quilting the inside and outside of the square blocks. Originally I intended to add a small gray pompom embellishment with the border but it just didn’t have the look I had envisioned.
Simplicity won out. She’s in the mail for shower which is next Saturday.
My other hand project is the ongoing T block quilt. At our last posting I had shared I had begun stitching the blocks together. I really had no idea my direction with this but I was able to get a really good look at what was going on ~ a bunch of mish mosh un squared off mess of blocks.
Back to the drawing board, blocks squared off and sashing added, much better. I feel like I have something worth piecing together. There will be two more rows for a total of 16 blocks. The blocks measure 15 X 15″ and the sashing is 1 1/2″ wide.
I hope you’ll take some time and visit the others in this hand quilt along group. There are some fabulous projects in the works. We post an update on our projects every three weeks. If you would like to join along, please contact Kathy at the link below.

Yay! A rare thing – a hand-quilted baby quilt. What a lovely thing to do and to send, and on time! I’m impressed. The T blocks are looking good. Are you going to hand quilt that, as well?
