IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A "MASTERPIECE" ....BUT IT'S DONE !

I made a rag quilt for the "FAMILY REUNION AUCTION"........... it's going to be held in July (as usual) so I went with a " Patriotic Theme" and used old levi's that I've been saving and cutting into squares as well as some patriotic fabric. This is it when I finally got it all put together.
Then I had to cut all the edges, which took me several days to get it all done! Finally finished it so I took it to a laundry mat on my lunch break today and washed and dried it.
This is the final product! Not perfect by any means, but I like it. So much so that I'm going to make one for myself as well!
It's heavy! Will make a good summer picnic blanket. What do you think?

Very good mom. Yet another thing I need you to teach me. I think people will be admiring it if you use it in the park. Now all you need is a picnic basket (and some good weather) and you are good to go!

It's great! You are so talented! I'm thinking I might need to put some Scentsy stuff in for the family auction. What do you think?
