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 :)
