A Resting Place

Finally....a fairly unfinished version of the quilt.  As you can tell, it is still just in "quilt top" stage.  Haven't yet decided if I am going to machine quilt it (it will be the largest one yet for me and and my little machine if I do it) or to send it off and pay money to have it done on a long arm.   We will see.  I will probably end up doing it.  Machine quilting is probably my favorite part of quilting, and I am always trying to pinch my pennies.

You can sort of see the walls in the background.  The hand troweling turned out really nice despite my whining and aching arms.  Wish I had a before shot so I could appreciate the contrast to what a junkyard my bedroom had previously been.  The kids are a little upset that they are no longer allowed to just dump random things off in our new little "love nest."

When I can, I want a beautiful little antique chandelier hanging from the ceiling...that will be great.

Your quilt looks beautiful! I wish we were neighbors so you could teach me how.

Looking nice! Olivia had to tell me that she picked out the blue around the quilt. She's very impressed as well

What a lovely, lovely quilt and what beautiful changes you have made to your room. I remember the before, even though you don't have pictures. Can't wait to see the finished product when the quilting is done. See you in a month!
