Have yarn will knit

Little hands won't be cold next winter.
I even put idiot strings on them so that they won't get lost when a certain person takes them off!

Total coverage at both ends

Only other Grannies can appreciate. My little guy wears cloth diapers so I got it into my head that he needs a little granny touch. SO this am I made two diaper covers and tomorrow I will zip up my last cover, adding a few difference touches to details. I will have decorative elastic on the outside of the diaper rather than hidden into a pocket, I will also have the pocket slightly larger to insert those diaper absorbent liners.

Have you looked for a balaclava for a child? Can't find them but I did find this pattern and it was free, I added some elastic ( green ) at both ends, It keeps the balaclava in place and if one doesn't want their nose covered the little face piece can be stretched under the chin, keeping one cozy. The elastic is FOE ( fold over elastic) it is very soft and is easy to sew .

Bloopers

Went to the chocolate factory and got these for a 1/3 of the price. Should keep me going for some time

Getting Closer

I have enough blocks for a kids or twin bed, I have arranged them and decided to make more borders rather than strip between them as I just have enough fabric to trim this, When I put it on the frame this summer I will likely build on it with a second border,
First I need to stitch it together and then play a little more

Don't leave any scraps around me!

See what happens!

I am hoping to retrieve enough coordinating fabric so that I can get 24 squares from this bag of goodies that I have. I am not sure the design may have to change up a bit. I drew out a little design in real size and then cut it according to the paperwork.

SO far I have 12 and it has proven that I might have a bit of a puzzle on my hands, depending on how the fabric holds out and if I can achieve the look I am going for, If not tough potatoes and I will have to rearrange the blocks into something eye catching.

I am procrastinating on going to the fabric store and hope to see if I can be as creative as my visions!
