One day in January I was out shopping at Dollar General & I saw some pretty washrags. (All my washrags are tattered.) They were in a pack of 8 & all tied up in a ribbon! I brought 'em home & put 'em on my cutting table in the kitchen,planning to put 'em up after i showed 'em to my DH.

The next day was my anniversary. DH took me to the LQS & bought me an Acuquilt Go & a couple of Dies for It. (He also bought me a "new to me" truck latter that day!!!!) I brought the Go in & put it on the cutting table & was looking at it. My eyes kept looking at those pretty washrags & I thought how much they looked like a bundle of fat quarters! The next thing i knew I was planning a quilt back. I drug my Dh to all the DG's in town & wiped 'em all out of these wash rags. I thought this will be easy... NOT.

Well to make a long story here's the first 5 of 13 rows!

It's going to be a very warm quilt. It is a lot of work to work with stretchy stuff, but you're backing it with muslin, which will help. I think you'll be happy with it once it's finished.

Thanks! Thats why I was using the muslin!

If you backed it with plain muslin, it would make a great bath mat! Very pretty!

Beautiful top, and very creative thinking for the back...lookin good thus far.

Thats what my Son said!!

Looks snugglie!! really cool!

funny how our minds work, anytime we see color we see a quilt that needs to be made. I love it, great idea!!

I feel for you. the very first thing i made my 2 yr old son on a machine i bought was a terry cloth bathrobe. boy, that thing made noise sewing through all that tickness, but i got it done.
Cool tumblers!!!

What a clever idea and quilt too :D:D:D

WOW,,,, love the colors!!!!

I've sewn with terrycloth just once. What a mess! You are to be commended for taking on and sticking with this project, which, by the way, is coming out so nice!! I made a quilt for my grandson who is now 3 out of flannel and chenille. Never again! He loves it though and sleeps with it every night.

Brave, brave lady!! The outcome is looking gorgeous, though. Bet you won't be eager to try terrycloth again!

Congratulations.

I like it and it will certainly be unique

Love your quilt and the terry cloth will make a warm backing love the colors and fabrics you chose for this

This was/is a mess! It was hard to cut, hard to starch & press, & very time consuming just to reach the sewing stage. I had half of 'em done then I had a "duh" moment & started cutting off the edges before running it through the GO! They are sewing together better than I thought. They are a bit stretchy though.

Ya'll are all sew sweet!!

I admire that you did this. I did a priest's stole years ago out of wash cloths. The priest washed the feet of the parishoners and dried them with wash cloths. I then made the stole from them. That fabric isn't the easiest to work with.

What a blessing you are.
