Lindsay-quilt

I started out making this rag quilt just because I wanted to give it a shot. I had lots of old jeans and some great wildlife flannel, and some fabulous wildlife silhouette embroidery designs. What a great masculine quilt this would make.
Then my sister and her boyfriend became somewhat of a permanent item. Great idea! I can expand the rag quilt as a gift for HIM! and I'd make her one of her own. yeah... the best laid plans, right?
Well, there's no way I'd have time to make 2 quilts plus the other projects in the works, so I expanded the quilt yet again to include her and it would be a joint gift. They camp and hike and fish and stuff like that, so it morphed into a great Christmas gift for them both that they can take camping with them without worrying about getting dirty etc.
There are the original wildlife silhouettes, camping designs, fishing designs and their names in tree branch lettering.
Designs came from Embroidery Library, Stitch It Cheap, George the Digitizer and A Stitch Club.
It's now January and I'm still not finished clipping the seams so it will fray properly once washed.
On to the next thing...
