Every Winter so far in our marriage (ok last year and now this year =) haha), I have made a quilt.
Last winter I made an afghan which has been AMAZING on our bed this year. It's super warm and matches the colors in the bedsheets which I chose for our registry a year ago.
I must have just liked the colors because I didn't even choose them based on the colors in the room =)
It also works in the living room on our couches to curl under and watch movies in the evenings.
My plan is to make another afgan in different colors. I figured increasing our collection of homemade blankets would be a good thing to do over time.
This would be my first successful large quilt. I made a queen size quilt for my first quilting project but didn't use a pattern.....so it was redone several times. I have finally repieced it last Fall, it just needs finishing up.
Since then I have been into making baby quilts....of which I have made about 5 of them in total. Great for gifts and I kept one for a Hope Chest item =)
This is the quilt for this winter.
I LOVE the colors.....it's the same pattern but different shades of greens, blues and browns. This photo is not the finishing quilt, hence the mistake of the 2 blue squares next to each other at the bottom.
My hope is to finish binding and filling it in the next few weeks.
I may or may not work on the other afghan this year. Will have to see if the yarn I want comes on sale.
What projects do you have for the winter?
