Show & Tell - A slow burn

Hi one and all,

Show & Tell Thursday's

What have you been working on lately?  No doubt most of us have one or two slow burn projects in the background...  Mine is this pile of granny squares...
Sorry for the awful quality night shots!

One day I'll have enough to make an epic-sized retro granny blanket.  One day... So when I'm between things or not really in the mood for a current project, this is quite a nice one to pick up and have a break.  A couple of blocks every now and again is quick and achievable and ultimately adding to a bigger picture.  Satisfaction still achieved.

Thank heaven for long term projects like these - great for tired minds and restless hands :)  What projects do you have on the backburner?

The wonderful April giveaway is sponsored by the great ladies at More Than Fabric and the winner can choose a set of fat quarters from one of these two ranges! Delicious fabric, isn't it?

Thanks for popping in and I hope you'll leave inspired by everyone's fab makings!

  5. i like the black edging too, really makes those colours 'pop' as the americans say! have hardly done a thing on my rug since i blogged it all those weeks ago, and its slow going even when you do heaps of work on it. i wonder what the record is for a finally finished project?! suspect its longer than cats 10 months!
    roll on too.morrow! x

  8. I love your grannies - so full of colour. I too have a long term slow burn granny square project. My problems with it though are that I'm not sure I like my squares and I know that we certainly don't need another blanket in our house. Both these issues mean it is very very slow burn, slowed to a halt. Fortunately I have a few other lovely projects I am working on!

  9. Wow, what a great pile. I'm sure they will make an awesome looking blanket and the colours look great. I've been working on crocheting a blanket for a few months now and it's nowhere near halfway done. Time consuming but fun!
