WIP Wednesday

  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.
