Finished, not finished.

As we near the end of the week and month I have been trying to finish some of my projects or at least to ensure I have moved them forward. I have no problem with having lots of projects in progress but they all need to move forward over time. On the 11 May I shared a photo of a quilt top I had made from my scraps. This has since been quilted with diagonal lines using the walking foot. Today I finished sewing on the binding.


All the fabric in this quilt is from my scraps bins or stash. The quilt is a donation quilt for Little Village, a children's charity, which has a branch in my local area.

Not finished, is my crocheted blanket. I haven't got any further with this since I posted earlier this month. I have joined four rows so far but once all 10 rows are attached I will need to join the squares going across. Normally I would have worked on this whilst we watched a film but instead I sat and gave the film my full attention. This should be a finish by next week.


Also not a finish is the second sleeve of my cardigan. I am about half way up the sleeve. My plan was to finish this cardigan by the end of May but that will not happen as once the sleeve is complete and all the pieces sewn together I still have to knit the front edge.

I'm linking this post with Alycia Quilts - Quiltygirl for her Finished or not finished Friday link up. Now what shall I work on for the rest of the afternoon?

Take care
