Jalie 2806 and Meredith's Quilt

Pictures of Meredith's quilt. I really like the bright pink walls, her bedroom is on the top floor. In our house the top floor is a story-and-half. The side walls are 4 foot high, so not tons of pink but enough to make the room super-cute and matches the quilt perfectly.

Here is one picture, the colors are the closest to true here. The fabric is Lila Tueller and it is a layer cake. A layer cake is 10" squares of each fabric in a collection, usually 30+ squares. We used 2 layer cakes and cut them on the diagonal. Meredith sewed each of these together and some of the rows. I helped her more than usual because I wanted it done!




A better angle:



Punched up the color a bit. I made the shams this weekend so the room is done.



Some quick sewing, Jalie 2806 from a remnant.

  2. Love those pink walls! The quilt is so spring looking. Your daughter must be excited about her room.

    Cute top. It looks like a beautiful day in your photos. Michigan is back to winter--we had snow last night. I'm orginally from your state, I believe. Maybe I should go back where it's sunny!

  11. The quilt is beautiful. I love the colours! Having just started my first quilt (I'm doing a baby size one!) I'm impressed with how much work must have gone into it. But it is just perfect for the room.
