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
