Quilts and Sewing Fun

 I got into sewing in college... after sewing little doll clothes or things like that as a kid. It's not that I even enjoy the process... I just like the outcome. I don't do patterns... I'm not patient enough. I rarely pin (I know, I know). I want to learn how to really quilt one day... but, I know that will take a lot of patience.

It all started when I decided I wanted some momento from college. I decided to make a crochet afghan.

Then, I found some old cut up t-shirts from high school. I had heard about t-shirt quilts in 11th or 12 grade and had wanted to make one back then, but never did. So, I made one now... it. took. forever. SO much cutting, ironing, fusing, sewing.

I was so excited to have a finished t-shirt quilt that I made another! I now have 3 of them...

I found an old felt patchwork quilt that I made in 4th or 5th grade. It wasn't exactly cozy being felt, so I decided to cut it up, add backing, and make it useable.

I had started on a yo-yo quilt a long time ago... maybe even a few years ago. I had gone to a local fair and had seen a pretty yo-yo quilt. I had never remembered seeing one of them before, and decided I had to have one. I started on it... and, finally, finished it this year! I made mine a flower design...

An old friend once had made a checker game board quilt. I decided I had to have one of those, too. So, I made a game board quilt. It was pretty quick to make... and it's fun to play on!
