But dh liked it. Only thing he said was it wasn't big enough for him to wrap up in. HA! it is all mine now. I will use it while watching tv. I also did all the quilting by hand that is why I didn't post a close up. ha ha again. I am still trying to get the nerve to quilt on my machine. One day I will get there. My pic is a little off center buy hey what can I say. I did have fun making this.

Nothing will match and the colors will all be a big mish mash, but it will have the memories for me to wrap myself up in.

You can do anything you set your mind to. My grandma always told me that. And she is right.
