Renovating an Old Work

I didn't photograph it when I made it, but photo evidence points to this bedspread having been made around 2014.  This photo was taken in 2019, when I was preparing to make a replacement because one of the fabrics--visible just behind Chip--was falling apart.

 

I then put the blanket and matching pillowcases in the linen closet, to be ignored.

I had the thought the other day that I could cut up the intact parts of the blanket to use to make another pullover dress...but...that didn't quite feel right.

So!

I ended up picking apart the damaged squares (a second one had started falling apart while in storage), removing the borders, and re-assembling everything into a new configuration.

It might go back into the linen closet, but at least it'll go in in better shape than it came out.

Quick Comforter (sus)

 The kiddo has worn two patchwork blankets to shreds in his lifetime, so I decided to make another one for him. The previous two were made years before he was born, so I asked if there was anything in particular he wanted in this one.

"Amogus," he said.

This project was never meant to be anything intricate or complicated

and, normally, the idea of doing a custom Among Us reference of some sort would be more work than I'd want to do.

However.

When I got out all of the pieces to finish the purse I'd started in 2019, I noticed that one element of the overall print--which I hadn't looked at for nearly three years--now had a somewhat...suspicious familiarity to the motif

I showed it to him and he grinned and I got to (low effort) work
