\"car-quilt1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So. When I start posting things from the past, we all know what that means. Take this quilt, for example. I made it three years ago or thereabouts. Possibly the easiest quilt to make as it’s two large rectangles sandwiching batting, then stitched with random diagonal lines. I read about this method online somewhere (here<\/a>, I’m pretty certain). It was a birthday gift for a friend’s son, and I was smitten with that Kokka car fabric. The backing is my usual grey linen-blend that is my default fabric to use, it seems. I hand-stitched the bias binding, so that part was snail-paced, but a very satisfying project if I’m remembering things correctly. At the time, the little boy had a fire engine toddler bed, so I thought it would look adorable with the car-themed quilt.<\/p>\n

Oh wait, you don’t know what it means when I’m posting old stuff? I didn’t get around to sewing anything for K this weekend, much to my chagrin. What with a school ice skating event, a date night (which I had to curtail due to previously and incessantly mentioned coughing), and teaching a class (which, despite my less than ebullient presentation, went fairly smoothly), I realized that I had grossly overestimated my ability to get K’s outfit done.<\/p>\n

\"car-quilt2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The outfit will come later this week, but for today, we’ll admire my one-and-a-half-day quilt, shall we? I must have a thing for car-themed fabric, since I’d loaded up on the knit fabric that turned into this little romper<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now that I’ve reacquainted myself with KatieDid’s quilt<\/a>, I’m getting the itch to try my hand at this quilt method again with two solid-colored fabrics and a stripey binding. Mmmmmm.<\/p>\n
