Star Wars rag quilt...


Finally, its done!! This one was much bigger than the other 2 I had done, so it took me awhile.
But its warm & fuzzy & Colin loves it, so that's all that matters.
I have enough to make another one, I am just not sure what to do with it. Maybe I will donate it.
Next one is my Christmas one for the couch.
Have a good week!

Blog link requests...

I have had a few people (ok 2 people) ask me where I got the idea for the rag quilt. Here they are:

If you scroll down on her page, there are 2 links she included & that's where I got the details from.

I saw the above one first & thought it was cute....but when I saw this one she made...I fell in love!

Hope this helps...but if you make one, you have to post a picture!!!

Can't wait to work on the Star Wars one...

Oh I forgot!

My pumpkin carving reached a new level this year!! I shaded....


Jason carved the pirate & I did the other 2.

























This one is the one I am most proud of...Its Max & Ruby, which Addi loves, so she was pretty excited about it!

I know, I know- No posts in awhile...

Honestly, I just haven't been that creative in awhile. But I saw these rag quilts on a blog & thought I could handle that! I have always wanted a Christmas quilt, so I thought that I would start there. I ended up buying too much fabric (actually, I had the right amount, but can't always visualize measurements in my head, so when I started cutting squares & then laying the out, and it covered half the basement floor, I decided it was too big!) so, I am making 2 smaller quilts, one for my new niece (which is the quilt pictured below) and one for a friends baby, who has yet to make an appearance.
















I haven't made the big one yet & then after that I have a Star Wars quilt to make. I am pretty excited, I bought the fabrics yesterday & they are pretty cool. Plus, its hard for me to make things for Colin (since boys arent' really into altered jeans like girls! :) so, I think he is happy that there is something for me to make for him,

Have a good week!
