And I like it.

It’s been an interesting project. A good one for between other tasks, when simple running stitch is all I need.

Though thin compared to quilts with batting, it’s still warm enough to use as a lap blanket.

I found the greatest challenge was keeping the space between the rows of stitching consistent. There’s a bit of variation – the gap tended to widen, but I made myself narrow it again gradually. I ran out of the yellow cotton thrums and moved onto salmon pink, which looks good and helps to unite the shirt colours.

Maybe I’ll make another one day, but for now there are too many other interesting stitchy things I want to try.
