Crazy quilt.

Finally! A post about quilts! Here is a picture of the very first quilt I made. I just put it back on my bed this week and it instantly felt like summer (despite the un-summerlike weather).

I made this quilt during my senior year of high school, about three years ago. I got the idea after I found a quilt that I had helped my mom make when I was really little. The color was obviously inspired by the orange wall in my room, and I really love how the green contrasts with it. It brightens up the room instantly.

I worked without a pattern, and found that I really liked not planning it all out first. It took several months to make the front, a few days to make the back and assemble the layers, and then another few weeks to get through handstitching all the edges.
