This is my final for one of my graphic design interactive media class...LMAO I would have liked to do more but I was going over the time limit. One of these days maybe I'll be able to expand upon this + improve the black sabbath scene + etc.

Quick question about a quick quilt...

I can finish a lap size rag quilt in less than a week, twin size in about a week, queen size in two weeks. It's three layers of fabric, quilt-as-you-go, minimal piecing, and they are heavy. Excellent for cold weather and folks who like the weight of blankets but not weighted blankets.* These quilts aren't as hot as layers of fabric plus beads/pellets, and they breathe much more effectively. For a heavier rag quilt, it's a layer of denim and two layers of quilting cotton or flannel. I have a rag quilt for myself that's three layers of quilting cotton. My house is drafty and winters are full of rain, which means the cold sinks into your bones with the humidity. My husband keeps stealing my quilt because his man-cave is the coldest room in the house. He doesn't care that it's very feminine colors "because it's warm."

As for why it's called a rag quilt, here's a sample:

The top is the fluffy side with the exposed seams. Instead of a quarter inch seam allowance the seams under the fabric, it's a one inch seam allowance and the seams are exposed. Said seams are then cut at one inch intervals. With every washing, the seams get fuzzier and softer. They're fun to touch and feel really nice. It's also why these must be dried ALONE or all the strings will end up on whatever else is in the dryer. Three layers of fabric also means two rounds in the dryer on high heat (which is why I like using flannel rather than quilting cotton) or one round of high heat and hanging to dry for a couple hours.

The back looks like a more traditional quilt top and is often the side with denim on it if denim is used. The one is three layers of flannel and was a giveaway prize earlier this year, to celebrate meeting a ko-fi goal.

These are a delight to make and excellent for cold winters and drafty homes. Did I mention they're pretty heavy? The one I have, once all folded up, weighs about six pounds, and knocks my husband out within about ten minutes of him laying over himself. It's why I plan on making a rag quilt for him. He keeps stealing mine.

For context regarding prices, these take significantly less time to make. This one, a lap size, took just 14.5 hours, and that included the quilting. A traditional style baby quilt starts at $2125 because I have a lot more cutting and sewing, and I do the quilting by hand (though it will soon change due to soon having a machine I can use on my Cutie frame and do all my quilting on it), and can take 70-80 hours start to finish. I charge $27/hour + cost of materials to come to the final price.

*A PT I know hates weighted blankets because they cause a lot of injuries. People rolling in bed with a weighted blanket on them have ended up in physical therapy because of soft tissue tears. Most especially dangerous for people with EDS and other connective tissue conditions. Other injuries they've seen are from the pockets with the beads/pellets in them tearing open. Pets and small children have been known to choke on those, and folks who are heavy sleepers can also be injured if the pockets near their face tear in their sleep. When the beads/pellets get all over the floor, people fall and end up with serious injuries from that. Not to mention overheating under all of them because the material doesn't breathe well.

sorry if you’ve already answered this but when you say early access what are you referring to and how can we get early access?

yeah, so i'm referring to my patreon!

it's explained a bit on my intro post on the site, but i offer sneak peeks to my works (longer than what i post to tumblr. tumblr usually sees 150 words while on patreon i put it around 500-1k words) and early access to my long form fics a day before they're posted on tumblr and ao3. so like chapter 12 of in limbo is on there right now!

i also mention this in my intro post, but none of my fanworks are locked behind a paywall. they're still fully available for free (i would get in legal trouble if not lmao) but i would like to post original fiction sometime on there in the future that would be patreon exclusive. i created this back when my work was being shitty about my hours/pay just to help me out a bit, so really it's more of a glorified tip jar than anything. i have had people make a payment/tip and then cancel their subscription and that's totally fine! it's just there if anyone wants/is able to help a girl out a little lmao.

if anyone has any other questions though let me know! always happy to answer (:

P. Mondrian High School is under construction!

Yeah so I caught a second wind and decided to take advantage of it. I'm sorry for jumping the gun on the poll results, but after some thinking I'm most attracted to the 50s modernism style. It's going to be plenty modern though, so not to worry there for those who preferred the other shell! This def will set me back a bit, but that's okay. A family gameplay centered save wouldn't feel right without a high school to me.
