Crochet -a- Quilt

[JulieKay]

Heather- your idea sounds wonderful -- I wish you great success and will be watching for those blocks to start forming when you get the time to start on them .It'll make a beautiful afghan .

Here is my updated one. I know I'm late for photo Friday but I took it last night lol.

[JulieKay]

Heather

lo its ok

can i see the pattern plz:)

[q8_crochet]

donna

your work is perfect

what size it became at the end??one square

[sewnsew]

Each square is about 12 inches roughly. It will be three across and four down and then I will add the trim around all of them. So I'm thinking (complete guess) that it will be about 40 across and a little more than 50 down once it's complete.

 

Thanks for the complements ladies. I'm very happy with how it's turning out.

Ok I started my Double Wedding Ring. I am using Caron Simply Soft in Grape, Orchid and Soft Blue. I thought I would go crazy making all those white pieces, so I changed that to the blue. Here are my yarns and first pieces done.

 

 

 

The pieces are going pretty fast, it's just going to be the putting together that will take forever. But you do put it together kind of as you go. So we will see.

Oh Micky that is going to be so pretty. That is a beautiful color scheme.

Donna great pattern and colours. It will look stunning:clap

 

Micky the Wedding Ring has been on my list to do for a while. I love the colours you have chosen. Looks great!

[Aussie]

Donna wow that looks really nice so far. The colors go well together.

 

Micky those colors are beautiful. I cant wait to see more pics to see what it will look like.

 

Well photo friday went well and we had heaps of photos to look at. I think everyone looked forward to it to see what everyone is doing and where they are at with their project.

 

Yesterday I spent all day watching the tennis and making squares for the casablanca.

 

Guess what everyone, it rained here yesterday and its raining again. We havent had any rain for such a long time that when it finally did we went outside to watch it. With our water restrictions in place(only allowed to water on Saturday) this rain from above was very much welcomed.

Donna your ghan is really pretty.

 

Mickey you are doing a great job, I bought that booklet so I could do that one but have yet to try it I got lost just reading how to connect the inside parts lol.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone!

 

I haven't disappeared, I swear. I did work on my PS yesterday for a little bit before feeling like I was going to fall asleep. I think I have 7 full diamonds & 8 halfs left. :yay

 

Do you know how hard it is to have the Casablanca yarn & not touch it until this is finished?? It stinks. If I could keep myself feeling awake & alert long enough to work on my PS then it would be done by now. Well, i'm off to make the kids lunch & see if I can finish this dang thing up today. I'll check back in later.

Tabby

You are a real trooper , to be almost wrapping up PS number 2 -

 

I salute you :

[JulieKay]

Micky

Very pretty color choices. Can't wait to see it start to come together !! It's gonna be a beauty .

[Aussie]

Julie have you decided on anything yet.

[JulieKay]

Hidey Ho Wendy

How are you this fine day ? It is grey over here and sleeting out, which would make driving a little scarey. Luckily, it's sunday night and we'll be home safe and sound .

Yes, I have decided on a pattern and have been working hard on it.

It is back to the prairie star ,but I will be attempting to do Donna's version, which is bedspread size . I need to go back to post 1 and post my info on it . I like it, the colors are pretty and I almost have the center star done .

How are you doing over there ? Still hot ,or has it cooled off any ? How are your crochet projects all coming ?

[andrea2006]

OH no Julie did you start over again? If I started a ghan that many times I would give it up cuz that is how I am. All of the colors I have seen for yours have been great so far, so why the do over again?

[JulieKay]

Well, Andrea, when I get a certain place in the project, if I don't like the colors, I know I won't finish it, so why keep working on it ? I guess I'm just picky . I need to learn to not even BUY certain colors, because I don't like them and won't end up using them.

It'll be ok .. I don't mind starting again. I don't have that much of a booked up life that I have anything else to do .

[Aussie]

Julie Im glad you have sorted out what you want to do and I hope it works out.

 

The weather here has cooled a bit and we finally got some much needed rain. I have been busy with the casablanca and have put another row on since photo day.

 

Im now busy with the blue star so I can try and put a photo on the board before I go away on my trip tomorrow morning. I am taking my 9 patch with me so I can do squares in the car on the way to melbourne. Im going with my aunt to watch the australian open tennis. We have tickets to the mens semi final on friday and the womens grand final on saturday.
