The Quilt is on her bed! (it’s about time)

Remember this quilt?

Well I never said I was a “quick” quilter….. I got it back from Angela at Quilted Joy right before Thanksgiving.
Then it sat…
and sat…
and sat…
waiting to be bound.
You see I got a bit busy at Christmas time….
Then my daughter decided that she was ready for it to be ON her bed, and promptly took the old quilt OFF her bed, and began sleeping with a pile of blankets….

then it got cold… I mean really cold…
so my good ole’ mommy guilt kicked in and last week I bound it for her! After much indecision, I bound it in one of the pink prints that I used in the blocks.

*it’s a dark and dreary day today.. sorry for the not great photo…*
It gives the room so much more pizzaz! I really wanted to bring out the black in her bed and her dresser… I’d take a photo of the rest of the room but she’s 14… you can guess what it looks like.
There are some photos here, of it in cleaner days.
Now she is warm snuggled up in it…

Now just to make pillow shams for it… I wonder how long that will take?

    I love it! I’m even slower than you because I’m still in the “thinking/ planning” phase of making my daughter a quilt for her bed.

    I love her room! Do you happen to remember the name of paint color on her walls? I’m trying to find the same color for my little girl’s room and overwhelmed by choices at the paint counter.
