The Beekeeper's Quilt

Aaaaand I just realized I never did post any photos showing the current state of my bedroom.  Will have to rectify that soon.

So, I started a knitting project called "The Beekeeper's Quilt."  Basically I use up all the little scraps of sock yarn I have laying around and make little hexagon's that are stuffed.  Eventually, (when you have made 384 of these little puffy delights), you attach them at the corners and it makes a self-lined blanket like a honeycomb.  I am currently about halfway done with the project but am reaching a point where, if I want to do the full 384 I will have to buy more yarn.  I don't want to invest money in this.  I want to use up what I wasn't utilizing anyway.  It was kind of the point-- and to have a fun lap blanket.  Since I'm coming to this crossroad, I am considering an alternative use for these.  I'm thinking of making a headboard pad thingy for my bed.  I would finish the project sooner, could avoid additional cost and I think it would be quite pretty.  I could attach them as intended but make additional ties to hang it from the bars of my wrought-iron bed.  Hmmm...
