I've been working on my fusion quilt and have to admit that it's at the rather boring stage. I'm busily building piles that look like this (note...they still need to be blocked so they look somewhat wonky)....
Each square starts out at 5" and is sewn together double-sided. Then I add a row of blanket stitches around the outside to create a base to crochet into. Finally there's a row of double crochets around each. All of these need to be done before I can start laying out the quilt to decide on placement of the squares before putting them together into the final project(s). I'm hoping to have enough to create a throw for the back of our living room couch as well as two smaller matching throws for the back of our chairs.
- There are several really pretty crochet afghan links HERE.
- There's a tutorial for a rather nice bag HERE.
- HERE you can find a tutorial for making yourself a quilted jacket.
- THIS is a really pretty cowl design that would make great gifts.
Today's quote..."Two things to remember in life: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone and take care of your words when you are with people"
This looks like a great way to make a quilt. The variety of having several different steps, and then the fun of arranging the squares for assembling.
ReplyDeleteI like that it's both a quilt and an afghan - best of both worlds!
DeleteSorry, I apparently left an anonymous comment! Didn't even know I could do that.
ReplyDeleteI've done that a few times too Quinn - no worries!
DeleteYour Fusion blocks are looking so pretty; I really like the color yarn you are using--this will be so lovely...
ReplyDeleteIt will look so lovely displayed on your chair back...hugs, Julierose
I'm hoping to make three of them - one larger for the back of the couch and two smaller ones for the back of our chairs. We'll see if that plan works after I get all the blocks done and laid out.
