| Here’s a test swatch for the OCD quilt. I tried hand quilting it. I think if I do the whole blanket this way, I’ll make the stitches further apart so that I can finish in this decade. The backing is a heavy cotton from IKEA. I was going to use it for chair covers since but I haven’t even begun to consider working on that project, this one wins. I do have the chairs, though. But I am NOT a hoarder (spoken like a true hoarder)! |

| My big worry is that the rectangles will fall off or fray in the wash so I’m going to throw this one through a cycle and see what happens. If they fall off I may go through and zig zag them on with a blue thread. That promises to be a colossal pain because I’ve already sewn all the squares together. |

| I used jean top stitching thread because I like the weight of it for this but I don’t like the color so I’ll be using a different thread if I hand stitch it. |

| Getting there… |

| Oh. I found this pair of acid washed, pleated front Bill Blass jeans at Dig N Save and cut them up for a border. They will never grace anyone’s ass again. You’re Welcome. |
Too cute! You are so creative. And funny!
Ha! I’ve been wanting to start lap quilts and have been procrastinating … I think this is inspiring me to just DO them! 🙂
