I started and finished a project, a quilt, in less than a week! Who knew I could do it! I would even doubt myself if I didn't know that I myself had made it.
There were scraps from my dad's quilt that were underutilized. After finishing his quilt I found out that I could have used them but his was already done so they were moved onto another project. I hate having extra strips of fabric from a big quilting project. This was the perfect solution to not have to add them to my overflowing scrap box!
I couldn't well move the cat off of one project let alone two! I hand quilted every other chevron stripe in the ditch. For those readers who are not quilters, in the ditch means quilting right next to the pattern seem. About 1/4 of an inch in my case. Keeps the front, batting and back all together.
Obviously it looks a lot like my dad's quilt. It was made from the same fabric so it should. Unless I made a huge mistake, which sometimes I do!
I love it in the big version and the little. Some little boy will love playing/sleeping/making a mess on it as any youngin' would do.
