January in Review

Back here I made a few plans for January's sewing.  Here's how i got on:

1. Quilt top for new niece - she finally arrived hurrah!  I went with all the advice from this post and added another 3 blocks.

2. Cushions for older niece and nephew - erm nothing to see here, move along now!

3. Quilt top from Hushabye fabric - I finally cut into my huge collection of this.  I have plans for the rest including the Swoon-along but for January I just sewed a bunch of squares together for a lap quilt.  Not loving that my eyes are drawn to the brown but I don't care enough to unpick so I might applique something onto it.

4. Bathmat - erm I have the backing now - does that count as progress?

5. Cushions from leftover HST from this quilt - done

6. 4 hexagon flowers - done but no photo!

7. 9 patches - all cut but still 15 to sew together

8. Fresh Modern Bee 2 Quilt - I decided to add one further border to this and am definitely happy that this is big enough now!
