And part of it was. I got the top done in no time, and then it sat and sat and sat waiting for me to get around to quilting and binding it.<\/p>\n<p>Last month my husband and I started declaring some evenings &#8216;screen-free&#8217; which means no phones, no television and no computers. We&#8217;ve been listening to audiobooks and enjoying some of our more crafty hobbies. For him right now that means cross stich and embroidery, for me it means quilting.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been lovely, and one of the side effects of having this sort of dedicated quilting time is that I&#8217;m finishing some projects instead of simply acquiring more and more quilt tops LOL<\/p>\n<p>This is one of those finish projects.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, I&#8217;m not quite sure what it is. It&#8217;s about 30&#8243; x 30&#8243;, so it&#8217;s too small to be a lap quilt (at least for me &#8212; though it would do a good job of keeping my feet warm?), too big to be a table runner and too small to be a table cover.<\/p>\n<p>I have a friend who has a small child that likes to play with dolls, perhaps she&#8217;d like a blanket for her doll? It&#8217;s worth asking LOL<\/p>\n<p>I made this using a selection of Northcott Fabrics &#8211; Stonehenge Gradations but I&#8217;m afraid I have no idea whose pattern this is. If I happen to run into it while looking through my quilting stuff I will come update this post though.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_528\" style=\"width: 539px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/weekend-project\/20260225_231643\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-528\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-528\" class=\"size-large wp-image-528\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-1024x978.jpg\" alt=\"Large mixed breed dog laying on a small quilt and staring up at the camer\" width=\"529\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-1024x978.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-300x287.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-768x734.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-1536x1467.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jofigure.com\/quilts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260225_231643-2048x1956.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-528\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Helpful&#8221; dog for scale<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started this project ages ago thinking that it would be a nice, quick, weekend project.
