This plaid fleece/flannel quilt is what I gave to Damon's oldest brother for Christmas this year. I decided I was going to make it for him a couple days after Thanksgiving. Yikes. I worked like mad to get it done and ran into a billion problems along the way, mainly involving running out of fabric more times then one ever should.

I really wanted to quilt it myself, to save money, but it was too thick.  I used polar fleece which made it impossible for my little sewing machine to get through. I gave up pretty quick and called my quilter lady. I love her, she saved the day!

I asked her to just do a simple meandering throughout and she added the loops on the border on her own accord. It's lovely! She got it back to me a week before Christmas. Plenty of time to do the binding. And I wold have pulled the binding off, without a hitch, but, I, awesomely, cut the binding half an inch too small. Awesome indeed.
On any other quilt it would not have mattered a single bit. But, because of the mamouthnuss of this thing, it was a living nightmare to get on. If it wasn't for time constraints and just being sick of spending money on this quilt, I would have gone out and just bought more fabric to make a new binding.
Anyway, I wrapped it up all pretty and I gave it to him.
I hope it liked it.


P.S. I have no idea why blogger is refusing to print all of my words in pretty font. 
Not cool.
