What’s a girl to do when she’s somewhat bored with her current knitting projects, and overwhelmed with the number of unfinished projects she found while cleaning the craft room – and therefore unwilling to start something new and add to the madness?
Finish something! I don’t know exactly when I started this little square. I think it might have been as early as high school, but more likely it was my first or second year of college. (For those of you playing at home, that makes it 8-10 years old. If it were a kid, it would be learning long division by now.) It is pieced and quilted by hand – poorly. It really isn’t as crooked as the picture shows, but it is a little bit crooked. The neat thing, though, is that the center of it is folded like origami – but out of fabric. I do remember seeing the pattern in a quilting magazine and wanting to make it – if I could find the original magazine, I’d have a better idea of how old it is!
Anyway, all that was left to do, literally, was quilt one side of the outer square and sew on the binding. I spent all of an hour and a half finishing it up – I’m not entirely sure why I put it down with that little work left. (Wait, wait, I know – I started another project and forgot about this one!) I’ll probably sew a couple of little plastic rings on the back and hang it in my craft room, even though I have a hard time looking past all of my beginner’s mistakes. When I do look past them, though, it’s kind of cute!
aw such a cute story!
