Quick Quilts and Knitting

These quilts are a couple years old, and were made in under a week each. The first one is particularly on my mind of late. I really like it, and I have some smaller eight-pointed stars made out of the same fabrics that I want to incorporate in my next quilt. It's lap-sized.

This next one I put together real quick when I moved into my first apartment and for the first time in my life had a bed that wasn't twin-sized. You can see a little bit of a green-gold-white batik in the upper right corner. Each corner had a big star that used some batik fabric that a friend brought back after spending a summer in Africa.

The knittings just extra. The shawl I made forever ago. The mittens are my most recent finished projects. I'd never had mittens before, and I've found that I do like them. Now that it's chilly, I wear them on my way to and from the train for my work commute.
