Duvets!

This is one of 2 queen size duvets I will be making for sisters. I laid it across my daughters bed to take a photo and to make sure everything 'fit' the way it should. I am working for a really sweet family & both girls knew the focus fabric. This one started with the peace fabric- its a home dec weight. The family is really creative and knew what they wanted so we have had countless emails working out the details~ since November I believe! I knew the colors for this room would be best showcased with Jennifer Paganelli's bright fabrics, so I sent a bunch of fabric samples out with the Libby paisley as the main fabric with all the colors. The green in it is a perfect match for the peace sign fabric. I also used Curves from Valori Wells which will be ins sister #2's duvet as well and Cathedral in pink from Anna Maria H as well as Luna Dots. Next up: bedskirt, pillow shams and neckroll!

Finally Done!

I have finally finished my bedroom quilted duvet. Yes, it was lots of work especially since it was hand quilted almost every night for the last few months. It really is one great memory. I enjoyed the relaxing time by the fire while my family and I watched old tv shows like "Combat" & "Get Smart". Sometimes Holly and I got to sneak in a decorating show here and there. Mostly, it was family time. I stitched everyone's initial on their own square, so they love to look for their letter. It turned out better than I thought and it gave me directions for my curtains. I don't know how many fabrics I used, but I know it was LOTS. I love scrappy quilts, I love combining fabrics, it was a labor of love. Hopefully, other people in my family will remember me by this. If not, my husband and I will stay warm and cozy under it for hopefully many years to come. He even likes it! Bonus!
