My friend Suzy (the one w/ the rabbits) randomly told me she quilts (after seeing one of my mother-in-laws beautiful quilts) and offered to teach me how! We decided it best to start out w/ a rag quilt. We went through all my scraps and hers and came up w/ a pattern. I ended up cutting some fabric the wrong size, so I had to buy some extra fabric to add to it. So, total cost of this quilt was $6, the price of the extra fabric and the backing.
Sewing all the squares down the center.
My first completed square!
All the squares finished and ready to be put together. 6 squares and 3 strips in the center. I had everything but the blue polka-dot and the blue backing and Suzy gave me the red polka-dot scraps.
Putting it all together...
And sewing. I will show you the finished project later. There is a lot of cutting and snipping after the sewing is all done, I thought it was so easy until all the cutting! My hand is still sore! I am done w/ everything, except for the last row.
