Herringbone Baby Quilt INSTRUCTIONS

Here are the pictures of my Herringbone baby quilt finished and offered to my niece in Paris.

The gray color recalls Paris' sky, the blue is for the baby boy and the yellow gives a sunny touch.

For this quilt I did 80 blocks of 4.5" x 4.5 each (11.5 cm)

To make the triangles I cut strips of 5" wide (12.7 cm) from each color, then squares of 5" (12.7 cm) and then cut diagonal to obtain 2 triangles. 

The final size of the finished quilt is 32" x 40" (81.5 x 101.5 cm)

Herringbone Baby Quilt

Feeling so sorry for being late on my posting : these pictures were taken mid-september. Since then the quilt was achieved and delivered to my niece in Paris!

Before showing it completed, I wanted to share with you the progress of it and the hand quilting.

I hurried to finish it before leaving for Paris last month. The last stitch was sewn the night before flying, and the label sewn in Paris!

Next post will show this baby quilt finished and photographed in the future baby's room.

Herringbone Scarf and Pears

I knitted a scarf for a dear friend. This was the project I talked about in this post.

The pattern comes from Purlsoho.
I used the yarn Rowan Kid Classic and needles 5mm.
Those pears come from the biological market, they are so wonderful and the taste reminds me of my childhood when all the fruits were so tasty! I took this picture because I like the contrast between the light and the dark on them on my dining-room table.
