Ryan's quilt.
Danny's quilt
Tommy's quilt
Couch quilt just to try to get rid of some scraps.
I just finished a lap quilt tonight but it's in the wash so I can't take a picture of it yet. I desperately need more blankets and sheets for filling and backing. I guess I have no choice but to run to Goodwill. Tommy's and Danny's quilts have $5 Walmart blankets in them and $5 Walmart flat sheets for the backs, as well as (gasp!) new fabric I bought just for them. Swanky stuff. Don't worry, though. There's some old stuff there, too. The tye-dye/cloudy sort of fabric in Tommy's quilt is from my mom's stash, so that's almost 40 years old, and the thin orangey flowered strips in Danny's is some of my highly prized authentic vintage 1970s polyester. They don't make that shit anymore. Mostly because people requested that they stop actually making shit like that. Anyway, this is what I've been doing while the kids are good, so mainly after they've gone to bed. I'm pretty durn proud of myself, actually.Five quilts finished in half a summer. Not bad.
