The Quilts

Moving to the mountains has encouraged me to start up a new hobby... quilting! I have been enjoying my first projects... quilts for the boys! They are very simple in nature but still beautiful and fun to make - I think they are sometimes called "rag quilts". It consists of two layers of soft, cozy flannel with some batting in between to keep them warm on our chilly nights. The first one I made was for Morgan:

And then I made one for Maddox:

I've already started working on Mason's, but it will be a while yet before it's finished. Here is the fabric he and I picked out for it:

I needed a new hobby like I needed another hole in my head, but somehow I always find the time for the things I enjoy the most... and right now, it's quilting!

Here's to warm, snuggly nights!
