Finally Finished
So way back in Oct. when we got the bus, I decided that I would make each of the boys quilts for their beds. So off we went to the fabric store. I told the boys that they could pick what ever kind of fabric they wanted to with the exception of skulls and flames. But little did I know that they would pick some pretty crazy colors. So I quickly changed my plan. Instead of having the same fabric on both sides. I decided to do denim on the top and their fabric choice on the other, so that we don't look too crazy in our big purple bus. LOL
So here is the beginning stages. There was a lot of fabric.
This is Dariens blanket. I love the colors but I love the denim on the top even more. I love making these rag blankets because it doesn't matter if there are a couple of mistakes because you can't see them. :)
I am sure you can guess that this one is Keagans. This one my mom and really like because how the colors look with the denim.
It was great to have my mom here at Christmas because she was a huge help in sewing all the little squares together. Yes, Rylans is purple and blue.
My boys have some very confident colors and I think that it is great. I got to pick out Stefans colors. It was really fun to make these for my boys. Now all that is left is to make mine and Jamies out the the remnants. It should be fun. My next project for the bus is changing all the curtains and cushion covers to make it look really retro. I am looking forward to it when we head out to my moms in the bus for Spring break. I can't wait.

Nice job on all those blankets! That is a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteI love those blankets and I love the bold colors your boys picked!
ReplyDeleteBetween your blankets and Tammy's blankets I'm starting to think that a rag quilt for each of my kids is my next project.
ReplyDeleteI am scared though. I'm not the greatest at finishing projects.
