I have been a terrible friend. My best friend and I always exchange gifts on birthdays and at Christmas. Ever since my son was born she has showered him with gifts as well. She is seriously one of the best people I have ever known and there are not many people I have known longer than her. Since I have skimped on the last couple gifts I decided it was time to make her a quilt. She has been having some rough times lately, just losing her grandfather and her mother dealing with cancer. So I wanted to give her something big, soft and comfy to cuddle under.
One thing I know about her for sure is she's a blanket girl! She also loves the color brown. Since scrappy quilts are my favorite I set out with that in mind. I shopped all of the local fabric stores trying to find as many brown fabrics as I could. The pattern I wanted to use needed 84 rectangles so I decided I wanted 42 different fabrics. It took a while but finally last Friday I was able to come up with the last few I needed to make 42 plus the inner fabric and the backing.
When you look at the 42 fabrics together they look a little odd.
But they looked a little better once I laid them out and could see them all together.
I decided on a brown and white swirl flannel for the middle and a lovely soft tan flannel for the backing. I began to piece it all together until it was one big quilt.
It took me the weekend together everything cut and sewn together. It took me a couple more hours to get everything clipped. But I am very very happy with the final result! Love this quilt. I can't wait until I give it to her and hope she loves it too!!
I just love your quilts!

I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting { cyberhackingcompany@gmail.com} they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000,000.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 24 hours later, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
