Finally finished a quilt I started in 2008!
in Crafts
I started and did about 90% of a quilt way back in 2008. It was a dragon and fire theme - originally for my then 13 year old. really just a lounge quilt.
I did the whole top, well, most of it. I must have ran out of some of the fabric, because there is not a full border or orange. Oh, well.
My youngest son saw the fabric and asked if I can make him a blanket out of it. Little did he know if was just about "done"
I decided to just back it with fleece. Looking at it, there are SOOO many mistakes. It was probably one of the first quilts that I even tried making. The OCD crafter in me would LOVE to rip it all apart and do it all over. THEN the mom of a 5 year old, who won't know anything about mistakes, says "whatever"

Well, in the same drawer that this one was in, were 3 more unfinished quilts. 100% of the front is done - never backed.
I sew to relax more than anything else, which is why they were probably never done - I wasn't giving them to anyone lol

depending on the price of the fleece, it could actually be cheaper - you figure you need batting and fabric, so the cost of that could be more expensive than just a piece of fleece. This is not the super lush fleece, I think it was $3-$4 a yard??

So cute!
I remember finishing a sweater that had been on the needles for 4 years. Felt good!
Hope your DS loves it!
