Cutting out squares fro this flannel rag quilt is taking forever!!!! Rag quilts are so simple, but evidently my attention span is too short for even such a simple project. Oh well, I will just keep bringing myself back to it until it is done. Should be comfy though. I keep myself going by imagining sitting on the couch wrapped up in it with a little dog on my lap. My mom has my first one. This time I'm padding it with more flannel instead of batting. The one I gave her seems stiff -- though she likes it. It is certainly warm too. I takes 12 yards of fabric to make these. Think I will try to make one with jeans and flannel next. The engelbriet print log cabin quilt top I did is getting quilted by a friend of my mom's. I can hardly wait to see it. Mom plans to teach me to put on the binding after it is quilted. I imagine that it will hang out on my table as I work on the binding. One of the joys of living alone is that my projects can "live" on the table while I work on them at odd moments. Otherwise I truely would not get anything done! If I had the internet at home ( a goal for 2011 -- sad huh?) and could post at my table then there could be semi regular posts.
