I recently decided to make a rag quilt for my sister's birthday. It's been a lot of fun and I'm really excited to make a few of these. It's pretty simple, I learned how to do it through watching youtube videos! And with a little bit of kitty help, well, who wouldn't think it was easy!?
Sarah's quilt is based on her telling me that Tinkerbell is her favorite character and lime green is her favorite color. I felt like throwing in some pink and turquoise-ish blue to even out all the green and accentuate the little bit of pink and blue in Tink's color scheme.
Unfortunately, after I cut all the squares I realized that messing one of them up really threw off the pattern. So, I went back and bought more of the pink and "made it happen."
And then, after sewing one row, I realized that the blanket was going to be way too small. I'm a little bit bummed to report that I'm going to have to go back to the store
again and buy more fabric to add to it. I'm HOPING I can find all the same fabrics and just add a couple squares on to each row. Please be there, please be there, please be there. :) The good news is that all of the flannel materials have been on sale - right now, only $1.99! Woo hoo!
It's a really fun project... and I'll definitely keep updating as I go! :)
