A Quilt for the Bed - Summer Studio
I've been looking at the bed lately, feeling like it needs something....I'd been eyeing the pickstitch quilt over at Pottery Barn, but why? I kept asking myself why I'd spend so much on a quilt from a box store when I could just make something myself!
When my Happy Garden Fat Quarters arrived, I knew exactly what I was going to do with them...it took me some thought in laying them out, with all the beautiful colorways and all. But I finally got it just how I wanted it, and it's all pieced together and currently on my machine getting freemotion quilted..
No one told me how HARD it is to push a quilt through a machine! Gah! My hands get tired! None the less, I imagine it will take me a few days to get it done before I bind it up and put it on my bed!
For the reverse, I used a sheet I picked up from Goodwill! Nothing like repurposing a good thing! It was so unbelievably soft, I can just imagine the quilt itself! So excited to have this done and on my bed!

Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I'm always in awe of quilters, I don't know where to start! Maybe this winter I'll get the chance to try, fingers crossed!
