This is what I am in the process of making.

I’ve been at this point for several weeks, but I can’t seem to make my mind up. Should I do the between bits in the same blue background as in the pattern, or not. I think I’ve decided to do that.

Now I just have to get my knees to let me lay the pieces all out.

I’m thinking it’s a bit dark. And a bit big.

Unless I make two smaller ones instead.

Oops, in order to post pics I need to renew my subs. Be back in a bit.

This is the little blanket I cobbled together yesterday. It’s quite tedious sewing those lines.

I’m making a blanket to put on grandsons lap when out in the pushchair. It’s got two layers. One side is the same cotton fabric which backed the dinosaur quilt, and the other side is a green bubble fleece.  I’m putting rows and rows of stitches in, so many rows, lol, but no wadding. It will be just a floppy, cosy, thrown together occasional blanket.
As it’s for the pushchair, I didn’t want to put too much work in to it, as I fully expect it to get lost at some point.
I’ve overlocked the edges. I have half an idea to bind it. But it’s no more than an idea at the moment.

I gave my sewing machine a good dusting. It started flagging up the sign for ‘service required’ just before I quilted my dinosaur quilt. It looks quite spiffy now. I’m not sure when I’ll actually get around to sending it in for a service, I’m hoping it won’t do anything silly in the meantime, and the good clear out will keep it going.

That’s me finished ✔️ I’ve ironed approx 12 yds of binding, such a boring job.

Hello.
I’m plodding along here, I’ve just joined six lengths of 2.5” width fabric to make into the binding for my dinosaur quilt. I’ll sit and iron the folds in it this afternoon, with the plan of maybe attaching it tomorrow.

I finished it today.  :VV:

It’s looking lovely.

Is the red car on bottom left (as you’re looking at it) upside down?

I didn’t get beyond getting the insulbright, I’m afraid. Been full of (tested, not covid) cold and lethargy. Sorry.
