Thank you! It is nice to see them. The contrast at the top is because I didn’t have quite enough of the main piece. 
but it worked quite well.

Thank you! I can’t remember, I think it might have just had an extra layer of cotton fabric?
That is a super stylish quilt @poetrylover828! Beautiful!
Thank you! I enjoyed making it and am happy it’s finished!
finished my heating pad cover. Last thing was to add the velcro.
My new version is a lot easier for my arthritic hands to put on since it is made out of stretchy material.

I finally finished this blanket that I started in the beginning of November (did not work on it much in Dec.) The table it’s on is 5ft long for length reference.
I have yarn for two more of these blankets. I can do another this size and then a smaller one. One in blue and the other in purple. I’m not sure when I will start the next one. Probably soon but I want to do some other things first that won’t take as long.

I adore that yarn and the stitches you used!
Making some much needed kitchen towels. I love linen and had planned on using my mushroom embroideries on these, but then decided they would be trashed up pretty quickly…so instead, I have a small collection of these mass produced machine embroideries that I pull off Christmas cards…adds a little more interest without making them “precious”…I have eight more towels to make over the next few months…

Hmm, I haven’t actually finished a project in over a week, because I’ve been spending all my crafting time working on my “stretch goal” of a huuuge rainbow afghan. I do want to mix it up with some work on smaller projects in between so I can get that sense of accomplishment from getting something done, but I just LOVE this blanket and can’t seem to put it down! 
Currently row 38 of 187…

ohhh I know that feeling of wanting little tastes of completion mixed in with a marathon project. My “Yesh” blanket had that. If I may be so bold as to offer unsolicited advice: Keep riding your momentum while you have it and then when it wanes, or your yarn gets put into time out for bad behavior, cruise through an easy win to keep the spirits up.

That sounds like a great plan!
