The Quilt is Done

February 14, 2012   By Becca 6 Comments

As I’ve mentioned before, this Pottery Barn inspired quilt was about 10 years in the making. When my son got the itch to redo his bedroom, last summer, I finally got my act together and started making it.

The fabrics are from a quilt shop that is no longer in business, but they are men’s shirting material. I decided to go with a simple “x” pattern for the quilting.

In the pictures, the quilt looks very blue, but there is actually quite a bit of orange in the fabrics.

Happy sewing!
