I had really been wanting to try a great sewing tutorial and my neighbor was having a baby so I decided to try the “rag quilt” since I have never made a quilt before. My first try was not a success because I clipped into all of the stitches causing holes so I got some different fabric and started again. The next quilt was a SUCCESS and I can’t wait to give it to her. Click here for the tutorial from “The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking.”
Here are some pictures of my quilt. The only thing I can say is “DO NOT CUT TOO FAR IN!” I used some scissors that weren’t that great with the first quilt but I borrowed some Fons and Porter scissors and they were amazing. They have a short blade and are perfect for this.

This was the first try. I really thought the fabric was great and this was a charm pack. I did a flannel back on this one which is super easy. I think I’m going to cut this one up and make some burp rags for her too. This quilt was also very very small so I learned for the next quilt. |

My final quilt all done. I thought it was so fun. My X’s on each square weren’t perfect so I need to learn a trick to make them better next time. These squares were about 8 or 9 inches wide. |

The owls are so fun! |

Fold it up with some ribbon and you are done! |
This was her quilt from the tutorial (very cute) I love the pillow too!:
