Blanket

I made my first "quilt" today. I don't know if it is an official quilt because I used a sewing machine and didn't "quilt" the top of it.

I learned two things.

One, all the pieces have to be the same size (EXACTLY) or chaos will ensue when you try to put them together

and two, buy extra fabric...because I made so many mistakes I ran out of fabric!

But I still think it turned out okay. This blanket is a "bug" blanket, because my two-year-old nephew loves bugs. I hope he likes it when I mail it out tomorrow!


 It's not as yellow as the pictures. More brown, I just think my lighting is bad.


Happy spring break! And happy crafting =)
