My quilt!

I finally finished the quilt! I told Clint that it has got to be the crappiest blanket made EVER! I don't even care because I am done! I was pointing out all of my mistakes to Clint and he said, "Even though it's crooked I don't want you to throw it away." I got to thinking hmmmmmm... I would never throw it away, is it that bad? I learned a lot and at least got a bit more familiar with my sewing machine. I hate that it's not perfect, but half the time I was sewing late at night and probably should have been in bed. Hopefully I will do better my next project. I tried to get some good pictures of the front and the back. It's easier to tell how crooked the squares are from the back side, so just concentrate on the frayed side! Gunner decided he would get nice and comfy right as I was taking the pictures, so ignore him too. OH and it might be hard to see but the cream colored print is fishies! That was for Clint. :)

I love your quilt, I want to learn how to do quilts like that with the frayed edges, it's really cute. I also love your sewing machine, I stole my moms and it's really old too.
