So, I told you that my friend Kelly created a monster. I am obsessed. I finally finished my first ever quilt, and can't wait to start my next one. I know, you just want to see pictures.....
So this is how it all started. I found this super cute pack of receiving blankets at Walmart for $10. I really wanted to get some regular material, but couldn't find anything I really liked. These colors are perfect for Campbell's "big girl" room she is getting for her birthday. I cut the blankets into 6 inch squares.
Next, I sewed an X across each flatbread sammie (I wouldn't consider it a sandwich since this was flannel material and didn't need batting). After what seemed like doing that 4,345,783 times, I had a stack of squares that I sewed together. All in all (can you see I am not that great--and patient--at doing tutorials??), it was fairly easy. Once I was finished sewing everything together, I snipped the edges, washed it, and dried it to begin fraying the seams. Totally awesome effect!
Here is a picture of the front.....
And one of the back...
For being only the second time in my life I have used a sewing machine, I am fairly impressed with myself....and you should be too! Whatcha think???
I also want to give a shout out to two awesome fabric websites:
