Mindless Granny

I needed an easy, instant gratification project to offset my latest quilting endeavour. I decided to crochet up a quick granny square afghan (see my Ravelry for deets).

It's done!

I just finished the binding on the quilt. It is officially done. Although, I might add a tag. Pictures tomorrow.

Another new blog!

Blogger has apparently locked me out of my previous blog (http://www.addcrafter.blogspot.com/). Looks like I will be blogging here from now on. If you are looking for my knitting projects, check me out on http://www.ravelry.com/ (username: Pragmatic).

Back to the purpose of this blog, my current project.

I am currently working on the Color-Wheel Quilt from Joelle Hoverson's "Last Minute Patchwork and Quilting Projects". I saw a picture of the finished quilt over at her website http://www.purlbee.com/ and had to try it. I don't really sew and definitely don't quilt. This should be interesting.

I spent over two hours at the Joann Fabrics in Hamden choosing the necessary 52 different fabrics. I am sure they were thrilled when I arrived at the cutting counter with 60 bolts of fabric.

Here is the stack of fabric. Approx. 60 colors, each 1/8 of a yard, pre-cutting

I spent the rainy weekend cutting and piecing the quilt. I am currently basting (hand basting...what a pain!).

I am hoping to finish this weekend.

Oh, on a final note, my #003 Skye Blue Rowan Scottish Tweed DK arrived. I can finish the last 4 rows of my mitten.
