Homespun rag quilt

I made this lap sized Homespun Rag quilt for a wedding gift. The Homespun fabric really "rags" nicely. I will enter this in our local quilting group Quilt show in March. Our goal was to pick a song and make an item to go with that music or vice a versa. I chose Mr. Bojangles as the theme for my quilt.

The following is an excerpt from the song written by Jerry Jeff Walker and made popular by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

I knew a man Bojangles
And he danced for you
In worn out shoes

With silver hair, a ragged shirt
And baggy pants, the old soft shoe
