Finally!!!!

About a month ago, I awoke one morning worrying about my kids. I thought that they would have to be freezing because they only slept with fleece blankets (besides the sheet). So I started that morning doing my reasearch on what kind of quilts that I would like to make for the boys. I don't really like the look of most quilts that I have seen in books. Don't get me wrong they look beautiful, but they really don't match my syle. So after I got discouraged from I went to see what the wonderful people of pottery barn do. I wanted my kids to be able to use their quilts when they are teenager so I went to PB Teen and found a couple of patterns that I liked (yes they actually sell quilts) and the boys picked out they pattern that they liked.

Dallin choose this pattern.


We spent almost an hour picking the fabric at Joanns. The fabric that he kept picking was the ones with neon colors on it. It took me awhile to convince him that the plaid was good and then once he agreed it went a lot quicker.

Isaac choose this pattern. The only problem was that within a hour he had changed his mind three times. So I choose for him.

While Dallin took a lot of time Isaac was really easy. While we were picking fabric for Dallin, Isaac had latched on to a piece of orange fabric so all I had to do was go through and pick colors that matched the orange and get Isaac's approval and he agreed with whatever I suggested.

I am excited that they are done and now I can move on to other projects that I have been putting on the back burner while I finished these.
