~~~Ok! Below is the "QUILT" completed and ready to present to my dear daughter-in-law for her Birthday which is on Monday Feb. 1. I am so blessed that she is in my life.

I love you Tanya!

I can hear Y'all asking why that style of quilt well, here's the scoop!

While visiting "Twin Oaks" the residence of # 2 Son and his family, over Christmas I begged to do some mending and I had the privilege of fixing dear grandson's jeans. The fabric left over I was to told to take it home with me.

As I was putting the jean fabric away I spotted my 'stash' and there was a load of denim which came from old cut up jeans of dear husband. A light bulb went off in my brain ....a quilt for Tanya.
A few years ago she told me that she had seen a "rag quilt" while visiting grandson's school and that she really liked it.

I have the basic quilting skills so I thought I didn't need to take a course on how to make a 'rag quilt'. However I did consult "YouTube" and bingo....there was everything I needed to know so I fired up the sewing machine and got to work.
There is no 'quilting' involved just a whole lot of piecing and clipping and I think it turned out just fine.

As you can see in the pix below the size of the quilt is 'lap' size. I have yet to do a quilt for a single, double, king or queen sized beds.....maybe some day.

This project has kept my mind off of my up coming vacation....the Olympics....
Only 3 weeks till I leave....Woo Hoo.

Till next time.....
