Last night was the first
Friday night sew-in of the year. I usually get some knitting done while watching a movie with my family every Friday evening, but this time I got some quilting done too.
This is my quilt for the
UFO Challenge hosted by Judy. I finished quilting it last night.
I love the wavy lines on the brown squares.
Very tiny free motion to make the baskets pop in the center square.
The backing fabric. More baskets! I love this quilt!. Hopefully I can find some time to finish it this weekend.
My other goal for last night was to finish testing a pattern for
my sister. Obviously I am not allowed to show the finished quilt top, but it is complete and I love it too.
Here are the leftover half square triangle blocks. I'll play with those later.
Once I was done quilting for the night, I returned to knitting since I was really close to finishing this scarf. And I finished it! This will be a gift for someone this Christmas. Yes, you read that right. I have one Christmas present done for 2011. I'm very happy about that.

here.
And since I finished one thing, I started another. I cast on a pair of socks for
my sister, a birthday present for next month. She picked the yarn so it isn't a big surprise.
Go check out
Heidi's blog and see what everyone else did last night. I hope the next FNSI is as productive as this one.
I love your basket quilt... esp the basket fabric on the back! Very cool...
ReplyDeleteCould you adopt me? I would love a pair of socks in that beautiful blue varigated yarn!
Wow, tiny little stipples in those blocks. Pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf. Must be a nice feeling to know you have a start on Christmas gifts already. I'm not even sure I finished all of last year's gifts haha.
I love the basket center with the basket blocks. Very cute! Your sister's quilt looks like it will be super, just judging by the teaser. Those are mighty small hsts!
