Crochet Blanket and Fancy Fox Top

So I'm already crossing things off my Q1FAL list. I slaved away all day Wednesday and yesterday and finally finished Ruby's crochet blanket. I also finished up the top of my Fancy Fox quilt which was my ALYoF goal for January! I'm so on the ball that this takes pressure off of whatever I choose to create for the rest of the month. Hurray!

Here's my little Ruby with her finished blanket. She'll be 18 months at the end of the month and I'm so happy it's finally done! It was supposed to be finished before her birth. I guess that's what you get being the youngest of five. ;)

It's a good size for a tiny person at 30" by 36" (ish) and the texture is so fun. Since I've had a couple of inquiries about the pattern here's what I know. This blanket is from a kit sold by Herrshners. They have not released the pattern without the kit.

Everyone loves rubbing the scallops back and forth.

Here's another project that I thought I might never get done. I've been working on these foxes since at least September. I'm so glad to finally have the top sewn! I usually take pictures of my quilts outside so the lighting is better but it is currently three degrees and feels like -28* so that wasn't going to happen. This is a twin size quilt on a queen bed.

Here's my little orange lover on it. Alex is obsessed with all things orange. It can be any shade or variety of orange - like his pants that are a little more red than orange.

I asked him which block was the best and he said, "all of them!" Then he proceeded to point to each of the eighty foxes saying, "I like this one and this one, and this one..." Good stuff.

I'm linking up with TGIFF and Finish It Up Friday.
