From Rags To...

A few months back, 

I happened upon some clearance charm packs

at a fabric shop near our old apartment. 

They weren't colors I'm traditionally drawn to,

but they were so inexpensive, I couldn't pass them up.

They sat in my fabric bin for weeks.

I had no idea what I was going to do with them.

I started sewing 1" strips of fabric to two sides of each square.

110 squares, total.

Then I started piecing them together, and realized I had erred.

Something huge.

And what I had envisioned was absolutely not what was developing.

So I ripped the seams from those white strips of fabric.

From all 110 squares.

And I started over.

Something easier, this time.

A rag quilt.

It came together in a day.

Literally.

One.

Single.

Day.

  And while it is not something that is my typical color palette,

I'm rather pleased with how it turned out.

It actually matches my living room rather well.

A happy accident.

I really like how the back turned out.

I am happy I decided to use more than one color.

It sort of looks like a game of Tetris...

Cheers,

A
