Nathan's round robin

A long while ago, Liz suggested that I make a quilt hanging for Nathan's office because it was cold and boring.  She had made a blanket for his office, so Christmas 2022 she brought the yarn she had used and I color matched it with fabric so that I could match the current blanket.  I decided to make a round robin style quilt.  I thought that all the different shapes on the blanket would lend themselves well to that style.

Here's the original blanket:

The colors I used were Kona putty, old green, bluebell, taupe, dresden blue, saffron, and ochre.

I took my time with the quilting (for once).  There is a tiny stiple in the center, the blue squares have back and forths, there are some echoes in the chevrons, and figure 8 in the green borders.  Not all of my quilting is nice and straight, but it is good enough. 

I matched the thread to the fabric color too.  It just looks nicer.

Update Mar 2023

I'm a "little" late with this, as my previous update was last July.  But it's nice to see where I am once in a while to regroup.

Quilts I'm actively working on:

1. Diabetes quilt.  This started out rather boring, and I had a hard time working on it.  However, I've now added my own twist to it and have been enjoying it.  I'm almost ready to put the top together.  Hopefully my math is correct and I have the correct number of little triangles.

2. baby quilt. I had started this for a baby of someone in my Mom's group, but I've only seen her a few times and I'm not going to finish it before the group disbands for summer.  I think I'll put it aside for the next baby.

3. Surprise quilt.  I have the fabric!  There's a few more colors to pull from the closet, but it's ready to start when the Diabetes quilt goes on the quilter.

4. Begonia. This just needs a blog post.  It's mostly written already, but not quite finished.

5. Rebekah's quilt.  This needs a blog post.

Quilts with no progress since last time:

6. Scrap quilt. Last time I wasn't expecting any progress in the next six months; that was correct.  It's still waiting.

7. Fabric from Christmas.  I've finished burying some threads, but have a few more to do along with binding it.  I'm currently using it in it's unfinished state, which has surprisingly made me less motivated to finish it.

8. Trying to fit in - left over triangles. I put this on the quilter and got some done, but then had to take it off.  It might be off for a bit yet, but hopefully not too long.  It's small, so easy to take on and off as needed.

9. Winter quilt.  I thought I'd working on this during the winter and haven't touched it.

10. Temperature quilt.  I need to quilt this.  It's from 2017, so it's rather low on the priority list.
