A while ago, going through my "pile of probably not going to ever finish them" projects, I came upon a project I started eons ago. A cheat quilt as I used to refer to it - which today has a more sophisticated name- or so pinterest told me - and it's called quilted and crochet fusion blanket.
Well, at the time, I as a very eager mother to make my firstborn a cheat quilt she was supposed to treasure forever, cut and sew laboriously pieces of her clothing she admired, of which there is a glimpse you can actually see here, and that was it. I put the pieces back into the "forgotten drawer". I didn't want to return to it - yet I might try this in the future using my vintage fabric scraps I've been jealously holding onto.
So when the very first quilted / crochet blanket above appeared in my pinterest feed, it flushed back all the memories. And the desire which I hope will resist other whims my mind gets tackled with on daily basis. Until then, enjoy these beauties.

Ivwould love to be able to do a proper quilt, but this comes a lot easier - at least for me :)
I'd love to see it Rose. So glad you like these!
It was the first time for me too to see crochet combined with quilting. The results are very interesting . I especially liked the quilt on the first photograph.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
