    So I made this lap quilt for my Grandma last year. Sadly I don't have the finished picture (I hope to fix this when I see her this summer :D).

    I got the fabrics from www.fabricworm.com, and just followed ohfransson wonky squares. Haha. For the Bias I took strips of the scraps and sewn them together to give the quilt a little more flair.

    Note: I am very impatient, hence the squiggle line quilting, and square that have selvage, and the reason why all the squares came out different size. Of course gma loved it, cause she's great like that <3

    Example of one of the squares

    As long as she loved it that is all that counts. Looks nice though.

    Grammas and moms are always good like tht. Homemade gifts are a true gift of love from the heart. It does look good and hope I don't miss the finished picture.
