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.
