Remember back in grade school when you returned from Christmas break or Summer vacation you had to write a report on what you did over break? I was never very fond of that.
Earlier this month I took these piles of fabric...
...ran them through this...
...and ended up with a bunch of these and...
...some of these strings to add to my string collection. The red, white, and blue strings will be used to make some QOV blocks.
I took all the squares and put them together into this DNP lap quilt for a friend that recently was married. I was going back and forth on what design to use and what fabric until I came to this one. I wanted something that wasn't girly and would make a nice statement on the back of their couch. They said they wanted something bright and colorful because their house is whites and creams. I think this should add a bit of color. I have a bunch of squares left over for another project too. Plus plenty more for the QOV string blocks.
Love your DNP!!
