The Dunstan Dialogue

I am finally done with the blanket! I gave it to my mother a few days ago when she came through to visit. Perfect timing mom! It's not perfect, but it's my first one and I learned a lot. So on to my next project! What should I do next? I've got a lifetime of scrapbooking that needs to be started on... yikes. So here's the picture of the finished blanket: front  back  

There is a background story to this picture... 3 years ago, I decided I wanted to make this heart rag quilt for my mom. Unfortunately, I did not have a sewing machine, skills at sewing, or patience for it. But I got all the materials and borrowed a little sewing machine from a friend anyways. Well, I never used that sewing machine in the year that I had borrowed it and so I gave it back. Although I had cut out all the pieces for it. Well, now Matt and I decided that we should make our own curtains instead of buying them (a.k.a. Kate will make them because Matt tried and it was a little crooked and needs more practice before we let him do something serious). So we had borrowed Matt's grandma's old sewing machine from one of his aunts to do these curtains and since I have it, I might as well work on the quilt...but as soon as I started working on the quilt it starts breaking down on me every other minute. It did it before, but not like this. Eventually it just stopped working. F
