I have had so many things that I have been working on that are surprises that I couldn't share them until now!
I made this quilt for my niece who turned 20 a few weeks ago. I made the same pattern for her sister who turned 20 3 years ago. The pattern is "Turning Twenty" and uses twenty fat quarters. I used twenty different solids. I tried to stick to blues with a few greens and yellows thrown in. The fat quarters came from Connecting Threads and I LOVE them. They are so wonderfully soft and the colors are beautiful! I backed it with dark blue and bound it with teal.
I also finished more socks! I sent these along with the quilt for my sister and her other daughter who also have birthdays this summer. They were made with my Kool-Aid dyed yarn. I found the patterns at knitty.com. I love that site! The yarn I used was a fingering weight superwash merino wool from Knit Picks.
I have more surprises in store that I have been working on today. I can't reveal them just yet, though. That will have to wait a couple more weeks. :)
