Socks and sewing and Christine's Kitchen Quilt

April is turning out to be a pretty active crafting month.  I finished one pair of socks and I'm almost done with another pair.




I started making a quilt top.  For some reason I felt compelled to learn how to paper piece so I watched some videos on Youtube and started the Christine's Kitchen Quilt-a-long.  The patterns are free and I was able to use fabric that I already own.  So that was nice :)





I really like the way it's turning out!  We're on week 6 now so I'll work on that this week.




I also started another quilt top! This one is pretty easy and I can work on it whenever.  I don't have to wait for a pattern to be released.  It's the Swatch Quilt from the Cotton + Steel website.  I really like the way it's looking.  I still need to work on getting accurate 1/4" seam allowances tho.  That part is tripping me up.  It's kind of embarrassing that I have so much fabric in my stash that I don't want to use for garment sewing anymore.  It's makes me feel good that I'm still able to put it to good use tho :)
