I have no idea why, but I have decided to make a quilt...well maybe "decided" isn't the right word, perhaps COMPELLED would be a better way to put it. My mom made a quilt once back when I was still in single digits so I've been around the process and I intellectually understand how it works. The only problem is that I don't own a sewing machine so I'll be doing this all by hand. I'm not talking about making anything fancy; in fact, I've titled my project "Ugly Quilt" as I'm using old clothes as material. I've decided to use our old not-good-enough-for-goodwill clothing for two reasons. The first is that there is no way I can justify wasting money on "pretty" fabric from a fabric store when I'm not even sure I'll finish this thing and the second is that I don't wanna waste the clothes so I've started cutting them up into squares. And as an added bonus "Ugly Quilt" will now have sentimental value. I think I may actually be 87 years old...
