Catching Up

[atherleisure]

Here's another project I'm delinquent in posting. It's a knitted quilt square from a pattern published by Weldon's in 1888.



I made a quilted pad to back it with so I could use it as a trivet.

Now I just need to wear the Helen sweater so I can take pictures of it, and I'll be all caught up for 2021.

Oh wow, that's so pretty! And it really does resemble whitework quilting, a bit. Fascinating!

Thank you. I enjoyed knitting it and don’t think I’d mind doing a whole coverlet but not now.

Everything Penwiper said.

[atherleisure]

Thank you.

How pretty! Also, very smart and creative use of the square, so you don't need to make a whole blanket.

[atherleisure]

Thank you. I really wanted to make a couple of these but didn’t want to commit to a whole bed-size cover. I didn’t have enough of the yarn for even a lap blanket so this seemed like a good solution.

Nice work. I'd be afraid to actually put something hot on it. Having something functional is more practical, though.

[atherleisure]

Thank you. It's cotton yarn with muslin backing and cotton batting so I don't think heat will be an issue. Admittedly I haven't really used it...

So pretty! I love how textured it is!

[atherleisure]

Thank you. I really like some of these quilt patterns.
