Last Christmas, my cousin Rachel gave me a Christmas tree skirt that she made as a present. She is twelve years younger than me, and we've been exchanging gifts or notes since she was very little. Usually it was something small but meaningful--I once gave her a journal for the plays that we always wrote together and she gave me something of equal significance. Lately, however, we've been exchanging less personal gifts, and last year, I got her a couple of shirts from American Eagle. Needless to say, I felt quite guilty when I opened the gift that she had worked so hard on for me. This year, I refuse to be ashamed by a lame gift! And so I've been working on a quilt for her. Actually, I started this quilt for her (a triple? quadruple? Irish chain... not sure which) last winter.
Unfortunately, I've been less than pleased with it, and last weekend started a new one. Another Irish chain (though only a single), and I've been much happier with the results. Until I cut the squares the wrong size... but no matter. I have plenty of material to try again. I will upload the pictures later, because apparently I don't have them on my laptop yet. Oops...
