Rag Quilt!!

I finished my first rag quilt! I did it pretty fast, I became very addicted do it, it was so much fun once I got to the sewing part. I think I could make them all the time. It was a ton of fun to do, and I used it as a reward system for myself. Why, you ask? Because I hate cleaning all the time and I feel like I clean all the time. So before I could sew or work on it I had to clean a room or something big like that. I know I am a dork but it totally made cleaning less painful. But I am ready to make the big one I also bought material for, since this first was just for a baby. I was so surprised how easy this whole process was, it is difficult enough to where I feel I accomplished something but not too hard where it is just too daunting. By far it was easier to make the quilt then the quiet book. So here is the finished product! It isn't the best pretty much all of my corners don't meet up but you can't tell unless you get a nice close up. There is a ton more yellow than I thought, but I am proud of it. I also stayed up until 1am two night in a row doing it, since I did have miner set backs, but I am sure my big one will go a little smoother.

Thanks Sam for showing me how to make rag quilts, and I am totally ready to cut out my next one.

You quilt is so cute! I got a sewing machine for Christmas, and I was thinking of making something like that.
p.s. I got confused about the twilight movie...the dvd for the first one comes out March 21st...not the next movie! Sad! But we should still do the next movie together.

I love it. I'm so excited to start mine. Well when I get all my fabric together and finish my other blanket projects I'm so excited to start. You did get that done fast. I love your reward system. It sounds like something I would do. I can't wait to see your next one.
