A few weeks ago, I got the idea to make a quilt to go in my purple room. Before I had children, (and I was bored waiting for my first one to be born…) I bought a quilt book, and made a queen size pieced together quilt. I love it still, but I also remember how long it took me.
I decided this time to try and make it easy for myself. I thought I would use big squares, and make the pattern for myself so I could keep it simple.
I went to Walmart and bought 3 different colors of fabric. When I had time again, I took pictures of each of my fabrics. I actually imported them each into a graphics program I have (made for scrapbooking) and created my own quilt! It wasn’t too hard, and it was actually fun!

I sized it up to the actual size of the quilt that I wanted, so I could figure out the exact dimensions of each square or rectangle. I figured out how many of each squares I would need, and cut the number needed. I got off a little, but thankfully it all worked out. (I bought a little extra material thinking I would make some big pillows to go with it)
Finally, today, I got around to sewing all the squares together. I did it all day today, but I finished! Yay! Doesn’t it look pretty!
Lindy, this is beautiful. I’m so impressed. I’ve never quilted in my life. And now that I’ve found your blog, I’m getting so inspired!
