good morning and welcome to my little contribution to sew and tell
In addition to sewing and cutting out blocks for my fall quilt,
I pretty much spent every waking moment working on this ...
a rag quilt for my mother in law.
And when I say every waking moment, I mean just that.
I began cutting the 10" squares on Sunday
and pulled it out of the drier on Thursday before lunch.
This girl's a mammoth! There are 110 blocks (which translates to 220 - 10" squares of fabric and 110 - 8" squares of batting in each block).
This is the largest rag quilt I have made.
A few little stats:
We were on a strict budget and needed a quilt made, this size.
16 yards needed. Their fabric is nice quality
