patchwork
each square is it's own little quilt and thus, is so satisfying to complete, not to mention addictive.
i (or rather, we - all of us) cannot wait to see the squares all come together. there are actually 6 now, going on 7, and this doesn't do them justice at all. they finish out at 13" x 13' so there will likely be 30 all together.
c thinks they should be made into a duvet cover for our bed except, if that's the case, I should be using a layer of fabric for the base rather than batting, to keep the overall weight down. we can, and do, use a down comforter year round here.
this will be backed, minimally quilted all the way through, and then tied. i don't really like tied quilts all that much but it'll be ok for this one. i think the finished quilt might go up on a big high wall, alongside a couple of graffitied pieces of flattened old metal roofing already up there.
then maybe the duvet cover.
