The Quilt


The border on the back is made out of the material on the front, that's why it looks like it doesn't match in some spots where it's flipped over on the front.

With Donnie gone I've started to get really bored. Out of nowhere I just decided to make a rag quilt. The first problem was: I didn't know how to make a rag quilt. The second problem was: I really don't know how to sew.

I found some instructions on the internet and figured I'd catch the hang of sewing as I went along.


Holy crap! This was so much fun to make! I put in 54 hours! 54 hours of my life I will never get back! It was worth it though, because the quilt turned out PERFECT. I figured the back would look like garbage because it was checkerboard, but seriously, I am so proud of myself, it matched up perfect. Yea for me! I did it! (that's Ry's favorite line)
