temporary pride and joy.

so one of my best buds (and old roomie) Meghan got married yesterday to her soul mate Brady. I have been racking my brain for the past few months to figure out the perfect present for them. I was going to paint them a really funky idea I had, but then I remembered a quilt my cousin Jess has...well I guess Max has. When I saw the quilt I fell in love with it, and decided I was going to make one. So I did!
here is the finished quilt. all the fabric is from vintage/crazy clothes from Value Village, the total cost of the beast was 25$ so I am proud! I really enjoyed making it, definitely will be making more of these...but slowly, it takes a LONG time to get done, luckily i started a while ago so i could just work bit by bit when Lils was asleep.

the back is kinda crazy, all random scraps that i just threw together. no rhyme or reason.

Awesome quilt. That is something I want to get into too. Yeah, we have a blog. I love the picture of our Lilys together. We just went and got Lily checked for her weight and height and now she's in the 25th % for height, but still 5th % for weight . . .crazy. But yeah, Scott and I know Holly through BYU Folk Dance.
