I was determined to complete the Wisteria coloured Corner to Corner Rug this month and it is done. Yay! It’s just a pity that the wisteria isn’t flowering as yet.
I ended up just finishing it with a simple shell border.
This blanket will be donated to Wrap With Love, a charity that provides knitted and crocheted blankets to those in need, with many being shipped overseas. I attended their annual local knit in back in July, where just over 100 blankets were on display before being sent on their way.
In other crafty news, I had one more play with the design curtain before packing it away. These drunkard path blocks were made several years ago as yet another Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. The original plan was to make two cushions, but I really don’t need any more cushions.
I was recently browsing through some old Homespun magazines and noticed this on the cover of one. The blocks finish at 4 inches, whereas mine finish at 3 inches. If you look closely, she has them laid out in two settings - a pinwheel style withe low volume centres and then the ones with the coloured centres with the colour in the corners. I have enough to make the centre of a quilt, or possibly a border to form part of a medallion quilt. To make that work for a square quilt, which I quite like, would require me to make eight more of the small blocks, which is four colours. That wouldn’t be too hard. Anyway, in the meantime, they have gone back into their box to be played with further at a later date. The magazine is now with them, to provide inspiration.
I have made a start on the knitted top, but will share a photo when it has progressed a bit further.
