I love it when I can take a bunch of parts laying around and make a quilt top. For this one I just needed to make 2 more flannel 16 patch blocks. There was a box of squares and rectangles that make up the scrappy border. It is approximately 48" x 72", close to the 50" x 70" size I like for throw quilts. Most of these flannels are from the 1990s when the browns were very popular.
I decided to put these blocks and sewn panels up on the design wall. The last time I had them out was 6 1/2 years ago. I have totally lost interest in making these into a quilt. My daughter-in-law wants a table runner the length of her table and I need to measure it to see if a column of this quilt will work. I can see making placemats out of the loose blocks, 3 to a placemat. They would end up about 14" x 20".
This is a picture of the pattern. It was fun making the blocks in 2013 but once the assembly started, I lost interest in it. I have other things planned, fun things, so I want to salvage these blocks in other projects and move on.
I pulled out a ball of cotton yarn a few days ago and started this dishcloth. I couldn't tell from looking at the ball what the colors were. It is a very subtle change between the 4 colors. This was a newer ball of yarn, and I had been reading the reviews online by previous buyers. Several of them mentioned the yarn wasn't soft any more. I had to agree with them on this one, but in reality, a little stiffer yarn is perfect for washing dishes.
