I finished a flimsy. After not going near the sewing machine since December, I finally worked on this quilt yesterday. As you can see, it's pretty basic, and not one of my seams is an even 1/4", but it's good enough, and I like it.
The fabric is from Connecting Threads,
Spring Terrace, and I used most of the patterns except for the gray ones. I'm saving those for something else.
I may do a bit of fake hand quilting on it or perhaps tie it. I'm not sure. It'll be cute, I think, no matter what.
Knitting: I'm still at it, but not with the same intensity as those 5 sweaters. This is the Hubz' vest so far, about 6". The fake cables are in force. You'd think that I'd be tired of them, but no, I can knit them forever.
The actual color is very close to the top pic. I lightened the middle pic so that the cutie patootie fake cables are visible. He likes it very much, and it is mindlessly easy. 326 sts on a size 3 circ needle. It takes a bit of time to do each round, but it is very very easy on the hands and wrists. The yarn is Palette from KnitPicks. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the vest and I wanted skinny yarn, so Palette is is. It doesn't have the spin of sock yarn, nor is it meant to be sock yarn. Much too fragile for that, but for a soft, lightweight vest, it's perfect.

Congratulations on getting back behind the sewing machine and getting that adorable quilt finished. I like those blocks a lot and the colors are so cheery. Great job.
