Ragtime Close Up and Instructions

Mary aka Canadagirl asked to see a closeup of Hannah's quilt. The instructions say to wash the finished quilt several times to give it a more raggedy effect. Hannah only wanted to wash it once. If you look closely, all the corners do not match perfectly but that is one of the things I liked about this quilt. Perfection wasn't a necessity.
And if she ever gets tired of the raggedy look, the back looks great too!
The instructions are for a 63 x 49 inch throw or a crib sized quilt. We added to that to make a twin sized comforter. Let me know if you make one!

Show and Tell Friday - Hannah

Last time for show and tell Friday, I showed off Gabe's talents. I thought I'd share Hannah's today. My mom received a rag time quilt from a friend for Christmas and Hannah decided that she wanted to make one for herself. She didn't want it to be just a throw but she wanted it to be large enough to fit a twin sized bed. We bought the fabric and started on it before Christmas. Then we returned to Romania and it was set aside for a while. Hannah worked on it here and there when we came back to the states and finished it while John and I were in Virginia in June. She knew she had to get it done while we were at my mom's because my sewing machine doesn't work. A huge thanks to my mom for all the guidance, assistance and instruction! Not to mention the use of her machine! Thanks mom!!

Can you tell that Hannah likes bright colors?

The bedspread and curtains in this room were made by my mom for me way back in the 70's.

Here is the finished product on her bed here in our apartment.
