Two rows down six to go...

Two of eight rows done...and I thought I would show them to you...



There will be more colorful rows between the top and bottom one and between all the rows...not quite as RANDOM as I was thinking but it is different and turning out kinda cool! :D

Ian's BIG BOY Quilt

Well here is my next project...I got the "baby" quilts done but Ian doesn't have a twin size quilt for his bed...so I thought maybe I should work on that next...I was gonna just put two sheets together and be done with it but come on...what's the fun in that...plus my mom has been telling me I should use my scraps so I will NOT be buying any extra fabric (hopefully)! :D

These are my scraps...some of them....I want to keep it bright and I think these will help...they are totally random sizes so I am gonna try out a random pattern with random sizes we'll see how it works!

This is a sheet I am gonna cut up for the front of the quilt as well...I'm not sure if I am gonna try and cut so that I have certain pictures or if I am just gonna cut squares and hope that we can see the characters....we'll see! :D I have NO plan really! :D

This is the sheet I am using for the backing...I believe this sheet cost me $1 and I believe the other one cost me about the same...so plus the scraps (which are pretty much free) and the batting for $6 this should cost less then $10...not too bad! :D

Check back soon and see how it is coming along! :D

ALL DONE!!!

Even though we found out we are having a girl I still wanted to finish the "boys"quilt that way i can enter it in the fair AND just incase the ultrasound saw something wrong we will have a backup!! :D So here it is...the only thing left is to let it dry in the dryer as much at I can so it will "fluff" more but it really just needs use! :D Hope you like it!



I took this close up so you could see how you cut it and how it fluffs in the washer and dryer! :D
