New Projects: Part One

Rag Quilts....   

 I forget where I first saw these, but I loved them and wanted to make my own.  I like to add in different textures though along with the cotton or flannel.  I love minky and chenille or anything soft for kids and babies.  I am going to start working on a total minky blanket this weekend but in strips.

This is a baby size blanket I made for my friend's baby. Isn't he a cutie?! He's only about a week old.

 I just found a great and EASY tutorial online for these at Green Apple Orchard.  I made my squares on two quilts a little bit larger though. 

Here are two of my quilts that are finished, but I need to get more Shout Color Catchers before I wash them. I think I washed the sports one once, but the bright colored one has not been, so that is why the cut strips are not too cute and unraveled yet.

I added a name on one. You can't see it too well in the photo, but it looks better in person. It needs washed to get it looking cuter too.

Here is the "flat" side....   I made this quilt a little bit larger too.

I hope you all try one of these! SOOO easy! A little time consuming, but it's something to do while watching the Bachelor. :)
