Finally getting around to blogging my current WIPs. Just two, well three really, but pictures of two.
This pile of flannel is for Jammie pants for the kids. I had originally bought (and washed ) the fabric last fall in anticipation of Christmas presents, but the early stages of pregnancy last year put it on hold. This year I didn't even bother to try for before Christmas, but since the we are still smack in the middle of winter, I think I'll get them done. The two older ones are also asking for bath robes, shopping will be required to fulfill that request. Fabric shopping, that is.
I 'finished' my Downton Abbey Quilt Along top. That is, I'm done with all the instructions. This is definitely going to need a border to make it functional on my bed. I was unsure of the colors in the quilt with the blue on the walls. But I do love the quilt so much, I'll deal. Unfortunately this picture doesn't show you the whole top. I don't have a place big enough to photograph the whole thing right now. It currently measures about 80" x 80". I plan to take it to the LQS tomorrrow to show the ladies and look at border fabric. I actually did already buy some, but I'm not entirely sure. Maybe I should frame the whole thing in black? Or carry the design into the border some? I'm totally unsure, so thought and opinions would be appreciated. Incidentally, there is a facebook group where you can see other finished tops, in each of the color ways. I did the Dowager Countess. Ebony Love is the originator of the pattern, and plans to be releasing an actual pattern booklet in the next month or so.

Wow! Such a lovely big quilt with lots of interesting patterns and blocks. It's no wonder that you love it--I do too!
Fun to see those jammie fabrics all stacked up--you'll be busy!

The quilt is beautiful.
Gorgeous.
OOOO...warm jammie pants! That quilt is outstanding.
The quilt is gorgeous Rachel! I still love traditional patterns and fabrics as much as modern. Warm Jammie pants are one of my favourite things!
