Sleep Tight, Don't Let The Frost Bite, by Audrey Jacobs, Junior Member Quilt
Large Quilt 51.5 x 71
Machine Pieced, Tied
I made this when I was 12, and as I type this I'm 12, but at the show when you read this I am 13. I did most of this quilt in a week with the help of my mom. She had a crocheted blanket lying around, which is now the batting. And I had a TON of fabric strips I won, and then some very nice people gave me more, from a game at one of the last guild meetings. So this quilt weighs an astonishing 10 lbs.
