Buggy Quilt


Here are some pics of one of the quilts I have made. As you can see, it is relatively small. I am not terribly comfortable with making larger quilts, although I have made a twin sized. (I guess I did blog about that!) Anyway, Bucko was helping my show it off and Meeeema was not really having it! She had so much fun trying to tackle the quilt that she threw a big fit when he put it down!

Deb, this is what I was talking about when I said I hand quilt some of the squares. My husband draws and I sew around it. I think it is a lot of fun, but it takes time and Meeeeema does not allow me much of that!
Most of the quilts I have made are grief quilts though. This and the one I made for grandma are pretty much the only "happy" quilts I have made. I usually put pictures on the grief quilts, but I have even made one out of the clothes of the person who was lost. I find that it is very endearing for the family to have a re-make of something they saw their loved one wearing day after day, year after year.

There I go rambling again! Back to reality! UGH!
