AGD Quilt

I just completed an Anita Goodesign quilt using the Urban Angles designs in the Beautiful Blocks and Borders set (my very first AGD quilt).  Turned out pretty nice, if I may say so myself.  There was a learning curve on this one, mostly at the end, when I put it all together.  The stitch in the ditch should have been done with the color of the top fabric on top and the color of the bottom fabric on bottom (maroon on top and medium gray on bottom).  I elected to do all medium gray for both top and bottom.  Other than that, I think it turned out well.  The final design is about 50x60 inches.  There's a close-up below, so you can see the detail.

A New Year

I'm really lackadaisical about posting.  This year I'm going to try harder.  I created a lot last year and will be writing about it as well as new things I'm creating this year. 

Just finished a scarf and hat set for myself using my favorite colors and a 100% merino wool yarn.  Had planned to wear them downtown this morning (completed the hat late last night just for today) but I cancelled due to snow.  And, we're due home by 4:30 to babysit a grandson!  I was concerned we might not make it home in time; crazy DC drivers!
