Since Im usually sat on my bed when im working and Im spreading out my things everywhere leaving lots of little bits of rubbish, paper, rubber etc I thought it might be a good idea to make a blanket thats going on top to stop my bed from going all skanky. The usual black hole in my purse didnt help so I thought why not become a little amish and try make up a quilt out of shitty bits of fabric that I got flying around.
To be fair, the amish would probably lapidate me for my version of patchwork quilts but I dont really care, Im a bit proud of my first little squares ;)
I decided to not go for a pattern or anything too complicated. Lets be honest, the usual messy look goes quite well with my room anyway.
And i can finally justify keeping every inch of fabrics that I buy, I cant even throw away the small pieces that are left over after cutting out.
I figured out that for making a blanket thats covering my whole bed Id have to sew together around 625 pieces. Today, I managed to get about 60 done.. Fuck my life.
Is this really gonna happen? Well Ive got 5 months to go.. Should be enough time to cut out another 565 squares, sew them and iron them..
Wish me luck, hope Ill get through it without going loopy.
