OK. A big big AND blury! Drats! Here are some squares from the quilt; you can see their is a lot of randomness. I had to really focus in not getting lost in trying to organize and plan because if I allowed myself to coordinate, with the hodgepodge of selvages, I would still be planning. I get lost in planning. There is everything imaginable for print designs; french fries to Elvis to Santa Clause to flowers to animals. A lot of the squares the kids did as they walked by the sewing machine. So, this was not an endeavor taken seriously and actually has a very amateurish feel to it that makes it authentically a "happy blanket" vs a quilt. Here are some close up squares. This was not made with the interfacing. AND I really was clueless as to anything quilting. My awesome, most wonderful SIL who is an artist with her quilts passed on her selvages when I said upon seeing a selvage quilt (looks stunning and professional; crisp), "Now, I could do that." Whenever I would go to her house I would fondle her stash as I have always had a love afair with fabrics. I have moved into paper piecing some now but will keep using the selvages, even in the pp'ing, as it is THERE to be used and I don't have to purchase any fabric. (I am afraid I would get stuck in decision mode if I planned colors!) I am so grateful to my SIL for not laughing at my wanting-but-never-doing for so many years.
