Ready to clip

One of the two ragg quilts, ready to be clipped then washed and dried and washed and dried and washed and dried...

I wasn't quite sure how to put the colors together so they'd be at least harmonious, but I think I'm pretty happy with this arrangement. The checked squares really stand out a lot more than I thought they would, but this arrangement seems fairly balanced to me.

And yes, I did make "twins" out of the two sets of blocks, figuring that if the quilts weren't a good size they could always be joined into one big one. I think this size will work well for a baby/toddler/little kid quilt, though!

The other part of the supervisory team. Simon wants to be sure he's up close enough to see that I'm doing it right!

Hi-Hi, watching me sew. Sitting on this step puts him just above my eye level when I'm sitting at the machine.
