OMG I love it! It reminds me of canvas art where one turns a painting drop cloth covered in years of paint into something else…just fiber/quilt rendition!

I marionberries offer kitten lap quilt for my medium personal finish.
Those little foster kittens have sharp claws and in the winter, fleece is too full of static. My DW asked for a lap quilt and she got one!
8 flannel left over layer cake squares + pieced together padding + a “just the right size” piece of light green denim (I have no idea where that came from) and some black flannel for binding. About 19" x 28". Magic!

I’m sorry you guys. Between having my left hand pinky in a splint/buddy taped still (fractured in Dec) and time (although we’ve had lots of snow days), I haven’t even had my machine out in ages, so my interest in quilting is pretty minimal atm. @AudiobookLover sure has been doing a great job keeping us going, and I’m impressed with all the projects that have been shared so far!

You can just enjoy the quilting goodness here. Everyone needs to take a break now and then, forced or not. Hope your pinkie is well soon.

Thank you 
.
@marionberries said it perfectly! I too hope your finger heals soon!
The nice thing about not having interest in one type of craft is that it gives you time to focus on other areas of crafting. You’ve always been prolific in a variety of crafts and it’s fun seeing all the different projects you come up with!

I marionberries submit this as my FEB BOM entry. I was procrastinating finishing another quilt so decided to jump on this one before Valentine’s Day.
This was fun and I loved the detailed instructions for the “swirling the seams’. I used a couple of fabrics from a charm pack so got a bit confused on her instructions, but it was a good reminder of paying attention to how you sew things together. The small squares grid came out a little small, even with scant 1/4”.

Beautiful!!
Lovely!
Very nice. What a fun way to procrastinate!
I have made two lap sized quilt tops out of 2021 BOM’s and extra prompt squares. I just finished sandwiching and machine quilting the first one. Now to trim and bind. I’m just making myself do these before the weather gets nice and I wander away outside. Luckily (or unluckily) I live in New England, long winters.

I wrote a while back about a Dutch quilting course I started, written by two quilt shops owners. I received the first two installments around Christmas. A while back I had started cutting the pattern pieces and today I finally started stitching. I have never hand stitched quilt blocks like this, without paper pieces. I actually quite like making them and it’s faster than I thought it would be. In my work meetings, it’s required to have the webcam on, but tonight I had an online grad school class and we don’t turn on our webcams. I find that with online meetings and classes I really need to craft to be able to focus. If I’m not focussing on stitching, knitting, sewing or whatever I’m just temped to get distracted and read the news, Lettucecraft, you name it, anything but paying attention. Forcing myself to sew and listen actually helps me concentrate.
The light coloured fabric is from scraps in my stash, the others came with the kit.

I agree @Immaculata , I listen better if my hands are busy. Other wise I get distracted in meetings and have to do the old “could you repeat that? My connection glitched”

That looks so good! I was recently wondering about how your quilt course was going, so it’s nice to see an update. Is the kit made up of multiple blocks like this one?
Speaking of recently wondering - how’s the Dear Jane quilt coming along @craftADDchick?

I haven’t made any progress (not surprising), but my mom and my aunt both bailed out of making one! I’m hoping to use one of my school breaks (probably April) to get everything organized (templates printed, fabric prepped) so I can be ready to go once summer break hits. I’m hoping that I can work in spurts to get a few blocks done at a time and make decent progress on it over the summer!

Yes, the project is just this block repeated in different fabrics.
What I like about this course is that the projects are more like suggestions and not really kits where everything is decided for you. They don’t tell you exactly what the finished item should look like. This lesson is about hand sewing, the project is inspired by a vintage 1930s quilt that one of the authors owns. The kit included a selection of fabrics and a reusable plastic diamond-shaped template. They promise there’s enough fabric with each kit to make a 50 x 50 cm sampler. Right now I’ve got fabric cut out for 24 blocks but there’s a bit more fabric left. No plans for the finished project yet.
