Birthday Quilt

I had to finish another project before I got done with my table and chairs because my sister's birthday was on the 15th of March.  I asked her if there was anything that she wanted that didn't cost any money.  Her answer was "a quilt." So luckily, an aunt of mine was getting rid of a lot of fabric and I got enough stuff to make a pretty decent quilt for my sister.  I am quit proud of how it turned out and I finished it in a week!

This is the finished product.  I had some old jeans that I used for the border that I had saved just for a project like this.  I really liked how it brought out the blue from the canoes.

This is a close up of the fabric.  This fabric is the LAST thing I would have picked for this particular sister if I was buying the fabric, but since I have no money, this is what I used and I think she loved it anyway.

I was really lucky with this project in the fact that I already had EVERYTHING.  Even the yarn I used to tie it matched it perfectly! I spent no money on it!  Well I did get the batting donated from my wonderful mother-in-law, who I could not finish any of my projects without.  She helped guide me through this quilt until I finished it.
