The quilt explosion!!!

I have now resurfaced all of the old blankets in my home and my family has loved them. I started getting request from extended family asking for Auntie quilts (thats what they call them) and I found out that my local thrift store has a sell every monday on their inventory!!So the quilts I made for my sisters kids cost very little. 99 cents a sheet and 99 cents to about $4.50 a used blanket depending on the size. So I didn't tax the environment using anything new. Lets face it you just can't beat $6.50 for a full or queen size quilt. And its fun too!! I will post the list of supplys on my next post. Have a great Day!!

How I got started

Last year I was in need of new bedding for my children. We came up with this idea to remake old blankets. I looked at my daughters old used up Barbie comforter and thought " its just the outside part of the blanket that needs to be replaced" I did not have any material so went looking for two sheets in the linen closet that would fit. This is what I made. Minus the Cat!!

It turned out beautiful and the good thing about it is she can put her guinea pig on it or she can put it on the floor and watch tv it just doesn't matter. It washes up just fine!!! After that the old Harry Potter and Batman blankets joined the rankes of the Resurfaced!!!
