Lazy Quilt, Part II

I wasn’t feeling well on the weekend and decided I needed to finish something. Something that wouldn’t take too much thinking. So on Saturday I did the quilting bit of the lazy quilt:

All I did was sew around each of the patches. I considered doing more than that, but it looked like it didn’t need it, and this is, after all, the Lazy Quilt.

On Sunday I bought some more calico to make bias binding. I had no idea how much I’d need, and the calculators that came up when I searched either didn’t work or gave me a rather unhelpful size piece of fabric that did not relate to actual fabric widths. So I made plenty. And I mean plenty. This is the leftovers:

I used this tutorial. It was easy enough. By the end of Sunday I had this:

It would probably make a proper quilt maker cringe, but it’s warm.

Here’s a close up of the patches:

I like it. Not a bad reuse of old curtain samples, either. The sewing was kind fun in a no-pressure, ‘make it up as you go’ way.

But I’m sure a quilter would have done something fancier with the fabric, so next time I see something like that in a recycle centre I will leave it for someone else to grab and enjoy.
