Here's one of my favorite projects! A rag quilt for my niece, Emma Grace's 1st birthday! I had only been sewing for maybe 3 months and whipped this together in less than a week (pretty much a weekend)!
Mom & I picked up the pattern on Black Friday in 2011. It's Simplicity 4993. They have a pig and a bear, but the dog is ADORABLE!! I want one to match Daisy's Blenheim coloring but it seems like a daunting project since I remember all the energy I crammed into that one weekend.
Brandon actually made his first trip to JOANN Fabrics when I made this rag quilt! He offered to buy me a thimble--what a goofball!
When you look at the pattern, it suggests using flannel, chenille, & minky fabric (all of that was once foreign to me). We used up a gift are and matched the fabrics together pinks, blues, whites, & yellows of all different soft comfy textures!
I always love to see how soft and homey it looks when I visit my niece. I guess it's a story time blanket. Ahh, maybe one day something will spark for me to grab some Daisy-Like fabric and make ourselves this rag quilt!
