Tops and Bottoms

 Millie finished her tumbling blocks Dr Suess quilt top and I finished the quilting today-most of the fabrics are flannel and the back , too, so it will be a very comfy quilt!  (Yes, Nyki looks like she is inspecting the seams, doesn't she?!)
The raspberry socks are done-they look purple until I place them next to the other bfl socks I made and they the mulberry undertones are more pronounced.--The socks are so silky and cushiony-a very nice knit!

    I saw Dr Seuss fabric at the Big Box Store yesterday but I left it there! (Way too many things happening in my sewing world right now!)

    Lovely socks - they definitely look purple on my monitor.

    So, do you have a favorite sock pattern that you se mostly, or do you experiment around with different heels and toes?
