I am making something for myself for the first time. It's going to be a lap quilt/throw size to keep me warm on the sofa of an evening.
I have started off making some 6inch square pinwheel blocks using fabric left over from my Mom's quilt. I am going to take it slow, adding to it as ideas hit me, trying to use some of my stash and secret santa fabrics, rather than buying new fabric.
I will treat myself to some nice thick cosy batting. I am going to back it using the fabric from an Egyptian cotton ivory duvet cover that has a rip and a small stain so has been 'retired'.
