"PERFECTLY IMPERFECT"

So, yesterday while baby girl was napping, I decided to make a rag quilt...I LOVE these quilts, and I've always looked at them and thought, "I could make that...if I learned how to use a sewing machine, and got the fabric, etc..." Well, yesterday, I decided to give it a whirl...my mom had schooled me on how to use her old sewing machine, so with no directions, and no real idea of what I was doing (I've never sewn a blanket of any kind in my life), I threw caution to the wind and dove in head first with this project. I was able to make it all in one day during the naps that my baby girl takes...mind you, this quilt is by no means "perfect"...some of the seams are crooked, I didn't really measure precisely for the squares, and there are certainly a number of mistakes...but that's one of the things I love about these rag quilts...because the edges are "ragged", it really hides a lot of those imperfections! It's super soft and so cozy...I can't wait to get started on another one...but first I'll have to go out and buy some more thread, flannel, batting...and maybe a new pair of scissors!!! :)
