Mis-matched Quilt

The girls started this quilt yesterday afternoon, around 2:00pm.  They wanted to make one that did not match.  This is it!  They said it was their "ugly" quilt. lol.
The door to Bethany's room was kept shut and we were told not to come in until they were finished.  They finished sewing the binding with GREEN THREAD while watching the Duggars tonight.
Bethany asked, "What if we run out of green thread?"
"We'll switch to orange!" said Rebekah.  =)
They plan on taking it to camp this summer, and Rebekah said it would be the talk of the cabin!  =)


And yes, they completed their schoolwork.  Both days.  =)
Soooo proud I am!!!!!
My Mom's quilts.  She's the one who taught them when they were little.

  1. It is NOT an ugly quilt. Cute and interesting, though. I recognize one of the fabrics. They must have worked really fast to do all that in spare time in little more than a day! I am PROUD of them, too!
    I ought to be. I showed Rebekah & Bethany how to patch their first little quilts!

  2. I think it looks fantastic! I love how they put some of the squares upside down or sides ways. lol

    It will be the talk of the cabin!

    Are these your daughters? They are beautiful. :)

  3. Actually, now that I took a closer look, I recognize several of the fabrics. The two with apples went into a duster I made years ago. I still have it in the closet. I recognize several others, including a couple I made serged-edged baby blankies with. The two bright pink and yellow ones are some samples Phil got when he worked at a place in Winston-Salem as a security guard. If I remember right, those prints have small polo horses on it.

  4. Thanks Mom. It is a great quilt!
    And I've got to find that pic of Rebekah sitting on your couch when she was about 7, sewing her first little quilt. =)

    Michelle, thanks, and yes, these are my daughters.
    Like you, I have a son... but you can guess why he's rarely pictured on here! =)
