It's done...REALLY done this time. I added the 2 extra rows to make it a twin. Now, just as soon as school starts and things settle down a bit around here, I'll start quilting it. At least that's the plan.
This pattern, called Scrappy Sixties (Simply Sixties set) from Anka's treasures, was a lot fun. My favorite part is the zig zag edge. I think it will look pretty groovy hanging over the side of the bed.
My original intentions were for this quilt to used in my toddler's room when she converts from a crib to a bed, but somewhere along the line, my 7 year old fell in love. She even helped decide which sheets to use (sadly, the orange floral got the boot). Now I am trying to decide if I really feel like giving her whole room a makeover to go with it.
Oh probably. She can be very persuasive...and I kind of have a thing for makeovers.
This turned out so cute!!! I have visions of sheets from our house in the seventies. Beautiful bold colors and patterns. They were garage sale finds fore someone eons ago and now I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteWay to sew! Looks awesome! Does this mean you will be repainting her room in the near future too?! I'm slowly building my stash of vintage sheets. You've inspired me to go outside my comfort zone and consider the bright oranges and yellows! Seems that's mostly what I find. They won't match anything I have, but will make a bright summer throw anyway, right? Maybe by next summer.
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful...i can see why your daughter has fallen so in love with it. i agree with you, the zig-zag edge is going to look fabulous hanging over the bedside. i love it!xo
