Well, I finally (almost) finished my "Grandma's Dresses" quilt for Maren! (Read about the REAL Grandma's Dresses quilt here...kind of a cute idea!) I still have to bind it, but thanks to Maren's longer naps these last few days I finished machine quilting the top today. I am a huge fan of Denyse Schmidt and found a picture of one of her custom quilts online, and I fell in love with it. One thing I love about DS Quilts is the simplicity...which in turn makes most of her quilts pretty easy to copy. I also love the colors! Sometimes I feel a little bombarded with PINK so the yellow and green is a nice, cheerful alternative (especially in dreary January). There are some obvious mistakes. I am still trying to figure out how to NOT bunch the fabric when machine quilting, but overall I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.
And here is a little peak into M's room. The crib is a hand-me-down from Aunt Cari and we found the changing table at Down East (a Pottery Barn Second).
...and I highly recommend this book!
