Turning Twenty Again twin quilts
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had a bundle of 34 FQ's in blues and yellows (I think it was Summer Breeze II by Moda) and needed twin bed quilts for the guest room. I added 2 1/2" sashing around each block and a 6 1/2" border to make quilts, after quilting, that measure 66 1/2" x 101 1/2". I was uncomfortable with the process of mixing a bunch of wild floral prints together, but am pleased with the overall effect. They went together quickly with only 11 pieces per block. I decided to practice my FMQing and traced an enlarged stencil in the middle of ea. block and did SITD along the sashing and borders. I haven't done the meander in the border yet, because company is coming on Saturday and I need them NOW.............LOL. I hope to add eyelet dust ruffles in the future, to go along with the smocked curtains. Enjoy.

Thanks, I also hope to talk my husband into making picket fence headboards that resemble gates. Our previous full sized bed had one like it, that he made, and it really made the room. Thanks again for all the lovely comments.
