Good bye old friend...

It may see strange to be blogging about my old ratty quilt, but I have had it for so long that it needed some type of recognition as it's on it's way out the door.

I have had this quilt since I was in second or third grade (I think, it's been a while) and it's been a great friend of mine. It was made by my mom and I think I even got to pick out the backing fabric for it. It has been on many a sleep over, many road trips and has kept me warm during camping trips. When I moved to Utah, I did make a replacement for it, but still brought it along. Until I got married it was always on my bed although did little to keep me warm as it has been falling apart for quite a while, but it was hidden in between my sheets and other blankets and quilts as a comfort. 

I was cleaning out the hall closet the other day (ah...spring cleaning) and ran across it. I have decided that it's time my old friend was put out of it's misery and would pass it on to Lucky to enjoy and destroy. So, I took this picture to remind me of what my old friend looked like, to remember forever. 

Now Lucky is enjoying it (he really does seem to love it) and when he's completely destroyed it, it will be thrown out.

I know this may sound harsh, I know people that still have old baby blankets and this quilt is really near and dear to my heart, but honestly who but me is gonna appreciate it years from now when I'm gone and they find it hiding in my closet. At least now Lucky will enjoy it and I can remember all my fond memories of our time spent together everytime I look at this picture. :)

So, Good bye old friend! I will remember all the good times we've shared and the comfort you've given me in bad.
