Birthday quilt and matching pillowcases
 

Our daughter wanted a quilt made with these fabrics and also chose a simple design. I found a quilt online that she liked and it didn't require a pattern - just some simple math. The quilt is not on her bed as her birthday isn't until August. As well, she wanted a set of queen and a set of king pillowcases to match. That was a good idea as I used Kona Snow fabric for the background and it's not as white as purchased pillowcases. The pillow cases look larger in the photo because I just have regular sized pillows and put queen sized pillowcases on them. Because the quilt is king sized, I decided to have it long arm quilted at Maple Leaf Quilting in Cochrane, Alberta. Rather than making pillow shams in the future, I've decided now to simply make pillowcases to match. I don't like putting shams on pillows so this would work better for me. It feels great to have this finished a bit early!

Beautiful quilt, congrats on getting it completed early!

This looks great. Good job.

beautiful fabrics, lovely quilt

Great job, love the bed set !

Beautiful quilt. I just make pillow covers like the quilt to cover my pillows with. Making the bed is faster.

A beautiful quilt for your daughter.

Love your fabric choices and the quilting looks great. King-sized - I'd have sent that someplace too!

I like the idea of pillowcases to match the quilt.

If enough fabric is available, make two sets of pillowcases for the quilt - the pillowcases are apt to get worn out before the quilt.

That's a gorgeous quilt!!!!!!! I love everything about it.

Beautiful. I love the colors and the simplicity-letting the fabrics speak.

Beautiful classic quilt and the pillowcases are perfect.

that is lovely...

Oh, she will love it, as I do! The simplicity of the design is a good example of one of my favorite sayings: less is more!

love your quilt, love colors choice and the simple pattern, looks pieceful and relaxing

She is going to love it! It looks so comfortable.

Love your quilt

Gorgeous quilt. Love the fabrics your used and it has simplicity to it but looks so beautiful. Great idea for making pillow cases to match. Gosh-the whole set is stunning. She is going to love her birthday gift and on top of that-it is done early!!

Very nice!

I bet she loves her quilt!

I’m madly in love with your quilt - my birthday is now. How about I take this one and you make her another one ? Yeah, I didn’t think you’d agree to that. LOL

The whole thing is super. BrendaK

I love the fabric and pattern! Congrats on an early finish.

I really like this quilt. It may be one of the easier ones to make the top, but I like the simplicity of it. Great job!

Nice quilt.

Beautiful birthday gift!
