Why Did I Wait So Long?

I bought the fabric, thread, Decorator Velcro (sticky on one side, sew-in on the other) and some drapery shirring header back in July to make a dust ruffle for the day bed in the guest bedroom. Last night I finally bit the bullet and started working on the dust ruffle and I'm happy to report it is now complete. I opted for a darker gray fabric as I think it will go with just about any quilt I put on the bed. I typically switch between this pink quilt or a bright and black quilt.

Good for you!! I've been wanting to do the same for my queen size bed.
|
I wouldn't know how to do a dust ruffle BUT I LOVE the pink quilt on the bed. Is this your own pattern? It's so pretty.

I like the matching pillowcases too! Great touch.
|
You did a great job, it looks so nice.
|
Very good I have made several, I now use the off white, it seems to go with everything. Beautiful quilt also.
|
Very nice! Looks great.
|
You did a great job! The bed looks very nice!
|
Love your quilt! The dust ruffle really sets a nice "frame" for your quilt.
|
Nice job on the dust ruffle, and I really LOVE the quilt!

Drapery shirring???? Why didn't I think of that????
Looks great. Love the grey with the pink |
Thanks everyone. The quilt is from a pattern in Quilt-lovers’ Favorites from American Patchwork & Quilting, published by Better Homes and Gardens Books. I think it’s in Volume 2. I’m not sure what the designer called it.
As for the drapery shirring, I didn't use it -- I really wanted box pleats and couldn't find any shirring to do those, so I did it the old fashioned way -- a little bit of math, a marking pencil and a ruler. |
Any chance you'd be willing to give step by step instructions? I would love to do that with my bed, but don't know where to start.

I love the box pleats!! The quilt is darling, too. :):thumbup:

I'm in the process of writing a tutorial. The text is written, but I need to add some photographs. Naturally, I didn't take any while I was making the dust ruffle -- so I need to do those next.

That is cute. Love the quilt on the daybed and the pillow case.
|
Love the dust ruffle, especially in gray. Great choice to pop the pink (cute quilt)!
|
It looks great!!! I procrastinate on things like this here. It feels good when you get it done.
|
The quilt and pillows look so comforting, it is like they are screaming for some one to come take a nap.
