made a quilt



in retrospect, i should have: measured properly, pressed before i measured, pressed as i went along, BASTED (what a goddamn chore. but essential, really), not put that black/yellow/white daisy fabric in there, bought every last yard of that fabric i used as the backing because it is so beautiful, and more batting. it could be cuddlier but i'm not complaining. also a chevron or a ziggyzag over the squares to hide all the puckering. i give this quilt a 6 out of 10, strictly because the patterns are so cool together. it is pretty fuckin sloppy though. but i made it yaaaaaay!!! first quilt ever. in the process of drawing a step-by-step comic for it.  <3's
