December 6 – Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it?

How appropriate.
I woke early to get started on today’s prompt AND to upload a pic of the little bit of sewing I did yesterday. Finally got around to piecing this quilt for my friend’s baby boy. I had already cut out the pieces, and the next step was to lay it out.
So I cleared off the dining table and started arranging the squares and half squares. It took a few tries. Probably should have used more orange and less black.
Of all the fabrics, the green sashing is my favorite. I like the bright color. The rich saturation. I think the little guy will like the bright colors.
Sunday afternoon I got so far as to piece together the entire quilt top. And prepped the fabric for the backing. This week I hope to carve some time out to finish it.
