Oh em goodness, that sheeeep! So adorable.
Did you ever work on a pattern called The Great American Afghan? My organizer found my three or four squares of it and was like, “Oh, this looks like a WIP.” I nervously laugh, uh sure. I only last worked on it twelve years ago
I haven’t - it looks like a really nice but challenging project!
It is. I remember the giant bobbles being the hardest part.
@tendstowardschaos I aspire to have my scrap squares as organized as yours.
@plaidpineapple The colors on your quilt blocks are lovely! Can’t wait to see more.
@jellybean What a cute little sheep! I say this with great affection, but it looks like it is just crying out to be tossed.

Brief Description:
I like to think I am fairly yarn competent so I will post this project for the Hospital Wing prompt. had wanted to make a granny square bag for a while using an “heirloom” square but my yarns took over, the original square was moved back to stash and this purse came to be.
Aw, it’s so wee! Very cute. Is it lined?
It is, thanks! If you click the link I did a few other pics on its dedicated project page.
