When life hands you scraps...Make a Quilt

My Bed



I made this quilt for my bed in Burien...I acquired the fabric in Paulsbo one day while out shopping with Dodie aka Gerry Erickson. We stopped into this quilt shop and there it was...a sale table...all you could put into a sandwich bag for 5 bucks...Boy did I cram, I rolled every piece of fabric, kind of like I roll my cloths to fit in my suitcase when I'm on reserve. I got all the pieces that I really wanted in, and I still had a little room left, so the flowered triangle pieces (yes they were already cut) fit in...So I went home and played with those triangle pieces to see what I could create...I put together some embroidery patterns, thanks to my friend Sally at the Burien AAA Sewing and Vac. and made the flowers to match the material. I origanaly was going to make a throw quilt for my couch...But I liked it so much that I wanted to put it on my bed, so the rest of the fabric I purchased at Joann's, but then of coarse no bed is complete without pillow shams and throw pillows. All in all I absolutely loved it when I was finished...
