So I went over to our neighbors house for dinner the other night and she asked me a question that kind of took me by surprise, “have you sewn anything lately?”. So I thought about it and, no, I hadn’t sewn anything in MONTHS! Which I understand may not sound like that long for most people, but thats an eternity for me. So I decided that my sewing draught was officially over and began construction on a new quilt. I had made one for our bed a few months ago, but I wanted to make one to have on the couch for curling up and watching TV. We have no real color scheme in our living room right now besides having a lot of wood furniture and a gray wall. I decided greens and blues were going to be the pallet and then I wanted a gray back to the quilt.

So here is the finished couch quilt!

With the back of the quilt, I didn’t want it to be just one solid boring color, so I took the scraps from the sashes of patterns on the front and sewed them together to break up the gray. The quilts finished size is about 52″ x 62″ and is perfect for covering up while sitting on the couch.

 

After finishing this quilt, I still had a bunch of the fabric left and decided to make a smaller version of the quilt. I used green on the back instead of the gray and it is only about 49″ x 40″ finished size. Here is the remnant quilt so far, I still need to do the final quilting and binding.
