These are the blocks for Aimee's new quilt. It is done in the same color pallette as Caley's, just in a different pattern. They are called pinwheels. I hope to finish it by her birthday in July. Until then she will be sleeping on the floor on her mattress and box springs. It really helps her not shove things under her bed.....
Here is a close up of the pattern of Caley's quilt. It is called "Shooting star" and I go the pattern off of quilter's cache.com. I machine quilted a five point start on each block. It took FOREVER. I think that is why it took me 9 months to finish this quilt. First I had to come up with the desire....and then the time to sew all of those stars. It turned out great. I traced the stars on with a regular graphite pencil and washed it afterwards. It came out wonderfully.
This is her new room. We painted the walls a soft lavender color and we remade a blue dresser that my grandma Taylor gave us. We painted it white and antiqued it with sandpaper. It is neat because the blue comes through a little it and adds to the distressed look of it. I love the beds. They are very heavy. We just got them at DI...it is their furniture line that they sell. The whole room was designed around the canopy that I bought 5 years ago....and never used, so they girls demanded that we put them up. Personally, I like the room better without the canopy's...

That is such a beautiful quilt! Was it hard to manuever it when you were quilting? I've never done anything bigger than a lap quilt for the couch.
ReplyDeleteI really like the wall color and distressed dresser too.
