But before I get into sharing the beginning of my first quilt oh the year, I would like to wish every body a happy 2016 filled with much wonderful crafting and quilting.
Usually on New Year's day I go very early for a long run. I love the solitude of this particular morning run and if I do meet a fellow runner both of us know right away we are running on that day for the same reason. Sadly I could not run this year as I was still in throws of a nasty cold virus. So I did the next best thing, I started a new quilt in between naps and watching way to much television.
I have sewn frequently with double gauze over the recent years but only ever for shirts (see here, here and here) but never used it for a quilt. The fabric is fairly stretchy and as HSTs there is a danger that is stretches to much so I was at pains to sew these together as quickly and carefully as possible.
Right now I have a quilt top that is about 60" square but I want to add borders with smaller HSTs and some yarn dyed essex linen in denim to make it a little bigger and it will break up the "monotony" of the HSTs a bit.

can't wait to see the quilt, will you be bringing it to the LMQG? Like you I have only ever used this type of cloth for clothing, as it so wonderful to wear and a quilt will be equally as tactile to curl up under.

What a nice surprise, and it looks soft and lovely! I'll be curious to see the backing too....

Love this! I am getting ready to make a large HST quilt too and was wondering what size your HST units finished up to be?
Thank you for your comments! I love reading them and will answer every question you have on my projects. But I have a very busy daytime job and am therefore not able to thank each and every comment. Please don't be offended if I won't reply.
