I repeat...who knew?





Okay, I got suckered in! I cannot believe people are actually using the selvages to make quilts. What is wrong with the world? Are we living in a 3rd world country where we are using trash to warm our bodies? Well, much to my dismay, I have found a batch of the same when packing to move. Also, directions and logos from various assorted things I have made in the past. Like I said, who knew? I am obviously as insane as everyone else.

I made more of these than I thought so I have several left over for me. They vary a little bit, faces decor but I found that when I got them out for the season, the felt pieces were falling off. Need to check into a better glue.


I call this the "lucky quilt" that I made for my youngest son who is 42 now. When I was making it, he had a girlfriend who claimed to do everything and I finally let her take it home so she could applique some of the fish. It started as a panel and I just added a bunch more fish.
When they broke up, I figured I was lucky to even get it back and lucky she hadn't done much work so there wasn't so much to take out and do over. She had borrowed a nice one I made in a class for her sweet little daughter that I never got back. I finally decided I was okay with that because the little girl loved it. This fish quilt is just a nice size for watching TV and I notice Jason does use it often.
