cblong03 Jake's Quilt - A dear friend at work gave me a stack of fabric sqares and scraps from her stash and helped me to put my design ideas on paper. My dear husband, acknowledging my spacial and mathmatical blondness, helped me to draft the pattern. It might have helped to read up on drafting patterns, but I hadn't gotten that far yet. I wanted to jump right in to make a quick (hahahaha!) quilt for my son, as he was leaving Grandma-daycare and starting the real thing. The quilt was lost within a month and then found about a month later under who-knows-what-and-where. Needless to say, the quilt came home for good. It gets used and abused by both my son and the 2 dogs and has been the recipient of many an upset stomach (yes, both human and canine...perhaps even a feline hairball or two). My son and I love to roll him up in the quilt and unfurl him, just as Cleopatra was unfurled from the rug before Ceasar.
