As a short girl from a family of short girls I've been hemming pants for years. My latest pair of jeans fit perfectly everywhere except for the length, which happened to be almost 7 inches too long!
I've had a lot of people who've asked me how to hem and so I thought I'd throw together a quick tutorial.

My roommate was using an old beat up comforter on his bed. He would never say that he needed a new quilt but I decided that it was a need. He has a sailboat that he loves to take adventures on (here are some pictures of our trip with him) so I used that as inspiration for the fabric.
The right side of the quilt border is larger so that it can be tucked in nicely to prevent it from shifting around at night. It was not a mistake, I promise!

This picture was taken at Golden Brook Elementary School in Windham, NH. The town has an annual craft show that students could enter their projects to be judged. I believe that is a second place ribbon next to the quilt.I was probably around 8 years old in the picture (estimate is based on the length of my bangs, wow I don't miss those).

This is not a hard quilt pattern to make. The Rail Fence is a classic pattern with many variations and many websites with free patterns.

This makes an easy 12" block. And the quilt comes together very quickly once you have your blocks made. You will want to make sure you square the finished blocks or your ribbons will not match up nicely.
