Rag Quilt

I decided back in July that I wanted to make Skyler and Carrie a blanket for their one year anniversary. I bought the material and started cutting the squares. They came at the end of August and I was not even done cutting yet. I had to keep getting more material because I wanted to make it bigger. Keep in mind that this is the very first rag quilt I ever attempted to make. Most people start small with practice. Not me, I wanted it to be queen size. Call me an overachiever!! After what seemed like forever, I finally finished it, cutting the edges and all. I told Scott that I was thinking of keeping it for myself because I liked it so much. He wouldn't let me though. One day I told Addyson that I was thinking of keeping it. Her response was, "One day when you work and dad doesn't, he'll just take it to the post office anyway. So you night as well mail it to them now." Little smarty! I mailed it in a Cabela's box, wondering what Skyler would think he was getting, wishing I could see his face when he opened it. Carrie opened it before he got home, so I'll never know what his reaction would have been.
