Summer Buzz

My first quilt finish of 2018 (but have taken until now to get photos as was waiting to finish its 'buddy' quilt too)...they are lap quilts for our two black leather sofas in the sitting room.

Measures 59" square.

Completed in January, this was my summer project and first on my to-do list for the 2018 Finishalong's first quarter goals and is completely made from my stash!

Is from a pattern called 'Buzzcut' by Me and My Sister Designs which is in their book '12-Pack Quilts' and took me quite a few hours (I watched full seasons of 13 Reasons, The Crown second series, the third series of Reign and the Virgin Queen mini-series on Netflix while cutting, piecing and quilting).  

We had a stinking hot summer here and on many days it was almost too hot to move outside, so it was nice to have an excuse (like I need one anyway!) sit in the sewing room in whatever breeze I could garner between the window and the back door.

Here it is with its buddy quilt #summer:

Here's how they look in the sitting room:

Did you spot Rumbles doing his cushion impression?
