I made a quilt today! I've only made a couple before and this one is definitely better than the others. I'm not the greatest sewer, but I have gotten better in the past few years. I went for the "attic window" look on this quilt. I was inspired to make this because my son has a blanket that was made for him when he was born from the Bazoople friends fabric. He LOVES it. It is his blankie. I've washed it so many times, though, it is wearing down. I have fixed many holes on it! We were blog cruising one night and found his fabric in a quilt someone made. He lit up and said, "My blankie!" I knew then that I would be able to replace his with another similar one, so I went online and found the fabric. I made this one bigger than his older one, since he's 2 now and hopefully it will stay on the bed! I'm also going to make a smaller one so he can take it in the car. He loves to twist the yarn around with his fingers as he's falling asleep. So cute!
looks great! Where do you find the time?

so cute! i hope he likes it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! He does like it, but his old one still trumps the new one. Oh well, it was fun to make! Tiff--I cut it out late at night and since my kids hadn't adjusted to the time zone from our vacation, we were up a lot at night. It took me like one night and part of a morning to sew it up. Pretty quick.
ReplyDeleteDid i know that you sewed? I cant remember...but I love this blanket! You did a great job!
