When my friend Jenelle offered a quilting class this summer I jumped at the chance to expand my sewing "skills". I decided that I would make a quilt for our guest bed in the basement.
A picture of the "blue blob bed" prior to its transformation.
Word to the wise - you may not want to try a queen size quilt for your first quilting adventure, it was a bit more than I had anticipated, but it turned out alright in the end.
This was my "inspiration" pillow. I already had a navy bed skirt and goldenrod sheets so it made sense (and cents) to stay within this color pallet.
I had a few squares and scraps left over after sewing the quilt (as well as an unused body pillow) so I decided to create a "custom cover" to finish off the bed. I am pretty happy with how it turned out given that I had to create my own pattern!
So there you have it. I finished in just in time for our quests to arrive from WI!
On to my next project... a duvet cover for our super king bed!
