Newest Rag Quilt - Before & After Washing


Yesterday I completed this rag quilt for Lang's daughter, Liann - it's her sweet 16th next week. This is the finished product, after I washed it, dried it in the dryer (checking for lint every few minutes!), and then ran over it with a lint roller to get off the extra bits of fuzz.
The bottom two pictures are the quilt after I'd clipped all the edges but before I tossed it in the wash. I think it looks pretty good already, but I love how the wash really fluffs up the clipped parts!





I'll be telling Liann that this is meant to be a snuggly TV-watching blanket. There's nothing better than getting under one of these in a cool basement!
