Big Girl Bed!

It's good to be back!! Yes it has been a while but lots has been going on! The biggest is due in May! More on that later.

So I started this quilt a while back. Here is the post. It took me pretty much a year to complete. I was working on it sporatically in the beginning because I thought I didn't have a deadline. Then, back in August, I learned things were going to change so away I went! The pattern is called Fractions On A Roll. It's for Jelly roll's but I used regular cuts of fabric.

Once the strips were cut, it went together pretty quickly.

I also splurged and got it professionally quilted because I know this will be washed many times and I want it to last. I just LOVE the pattern! Once that was done, I started on the binding.

The binding went on really quickly! I'm really happy with how this quilt turned out!

With the left over fabric, I made a matching sham. My little tadpole is so proud of her big girl bed!

Work In Progress...

So I am about the embark on by far my largest quilting project to date and I am psyched! Not intimidated at all. Really! It's a twin sized quilt for my daughter's bed. Now for those of you who know me, know that my little one is no where near sleeping in a bed yet. I'm starting early! That way I won't be under the gun to finish. At least that's my plan!

I have been drawn to quilts made with reproduction fabrics from the 1930's. They just look fun and crisp. These fabrics below are what I picked out to make the quilt with.

Along with plain white and a red (for the border) I am supplied and ready to go! I have started to cut the strips. I will keep you updated on my progress!
