Christmas rag quilt finished!

I just finished a 5'6" by 7'6" rag quilt in red, green and a multi
teddy bear fabric. For the back, I had a red/green/white fabric with
a very small overall pattern of strawberries and used that for the
back of each block. I will take it to the laundromat tomorrow and run
it through the oversized washer and dryer twice, show it to my sister
this weekend, and then mail it to my niece in Colorado next week.
Niece has gone through a nasty divorce, but has a good job and the two
children in a fairly nice apartment. However, she has very little
discretionary income and almost nothing in the way of Christmas
decorations, so a Christmas rag quilt may help a bit. I made a rag
quilt since they are so quick, and I know she really likes them. It
will also help in that it is sturdy and will go through the laundry
very easily if something gets spilled on it or if the dog decides to
adopt it for a napping place. I really hope she likes it!

I'm sure she will, Mary. That is so thoughtful.
