My New Quilt

I've been waiting to post pictures of the quilt as I've been pillow shopping. Last night I finished the adventure on a fun shopping trip with my friend (thanks Katie!). Here's the finished product. I'm also planning to make/buy a headboard after we move that would be the chocolate brown color and be a better background. I love it! Thanks again to all who've helped!

Beautiful! Great job on the pillows too :) It makes me want to step up our stuff.

It looks so good! I love those pillows from BB&B. And I'm glad we got to go shopping - I'll really miss you when you leave! I feel like you and I have such similarities/parallels in our lives, so it's nice to talk to someone who knows where I'm coming from. But I know we'll keep in touch via phone (and a fun trip to NYC next year!)

Gorgeous!! And I'm totally impressed that you MADE that quilt - yo go girl!

I recently had some success with pillow shopping, too, so I know the feeling. :)

Sharon,
I love your quilt. It's so sad how few people know how to do so many of the domestic things our mothers/grandmothers know. There is nothing better than a homemade quilt.

...you made this?!!!!!
I kept thinking "I wonder where she got that, I love those colors!" Sharon you little Martha Stewart! It is gorgeous!

Sharon said...

Well, mostly my mom made it...I helped with the quilting pattern, but she's the true artist! :)
