My Queen Quilt and Pillows




I have to say I have never been more proud of myself. I got the courage to make a queen quilt and all the accompanying pillows. I took a class for the quilt and chose patterns for the pillows. I even had to put in a zipper. I designed the european pillow shams from the Pottery Barn ones that had been on my bed before. They even have three ties to hold them all together. The only thing I have left to do is make a couple of accent pillows for two chairs in our master bedroom. The materials are from Michael Miller.

Confession time... when I was in HS my Mom made my final exam project for Home Ec. I was hopeless with a sewing machine. This time I sewed everything by myself. I amazed myself and learned so much. I can't wait to get started on a quilt for my daughter's bedroom.
