Ah, the joy of a project completed! My Asian quilt project came to an end last night. I'm dancing on air, giving big sighs of relief, and feeling so full of myself.
Last spring I moved into a new house and found myself with a large basement bedroom and no furniture. So I quickly bought a king-size bed, found just the right night stands for half price at a "Going out of Business Sale", and was lucky to find lamps at Hobby Lobby that were the same metal finish as the bed's headboard. Only problem was all I had to cover the bed was a ratty, summer quilt (a rather failed project to begin with). Therefore there was nothing to do but make a new king-sized quilt. I started it in June and completing it in Dec. makes for a great holiday treat.
I have loved this pattern as it is both quick, easy, and striking. I'm thinking of all kinds of projects in which I can incorporate "braids". This time, though, I'M MAKING SOMETHING SMALL!!!. This is an oft repeated litany of mine. Maybe sometime I will adhere to it as I've already started another king-size quilt for the bed upstairs.

That is SO beautiful!! I really like the pillow shams that match too. You should link up at confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com for Sarah's Can I Get a Whoop-Whoop? Friday linky party. You deserve a lot of whoop-whoops for this!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I LOVE this quilt. The shams are a perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Nice job. A king scares me, infact I just down sized to a queen, much to my husbands dismay, so that I would be able to make a quilt for our bed :)
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, that's an amazing quilt! I love the colors, and certainly admire your ability to make a king-sized quilt. I need to make one myself! Whoop whoop!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you framed your braids & varied the colors within. Very striking! Whoop Whoop!
ReplyDeleteThe asian prints are beautiful! I love the variety of fabrics in it. Definitely many whoop whoops!
