My Grandma Karon and I were talking a few weeks ago about this quilt that I attempted to make awhile back and I was telling her how I was having such a hard time with the fabric and I wasn't able to make it work and was really frustrated with it since it was being so difficult.
Well she told me that she had a bunch of old white sheets...and my eyes lit up! On Pinterest I've found a few white quilts that I just LOVE and I've wanted to make one for my bed when I get married. Today I will be sharing the inspiration photos for the quilt that I really hope to start putting together after Christmas is over. I should be less busy then so that will be one project I hope to start!
Here are the photos...all found via Pinterest, of course! Enjoy!

I want to do a ruffled edge for the quilt I make for our bed when we are married. I found this photo and just LOVE it!! Of course I do love ruffles too so that's part of why I want this.

I really love the look of this quilt. This is what I am aiming for actually. A bunch of squares pieced together. I LOVE the addition of lace though. I may end up doing this since I have a bunch of random lace curtains which I could use for this. That would be beautiful!!

I really love the squares lined with a strip between each one too... This was really the original inspirational photo, but I LOVE the lace addition from the one above so we'll see...

I do plan to do hand quilting for this quilt. Grandma will be helping me with this since it will be a new experience for me and something I've never done before! I'm pretty excited about that. I think this quilt here is beautiful. If I was going to do hand quilting I would just cut larger squares and do a different pattern in each one. Or so that's what I'm thinking.

I also love this look too. It wouldn't be too hard to pull off. I think this look is really cool. I've made squares like this before so I could totally do this if I wanted too.

This quilt is really different and vintage looking. I really like the look but doubt I will actually make mine like this.

This is sort of a vintage classic look in my opinion and really what I'd like mine to look like when I get it all done. I like the squares and the hand stitching and the edge is nice too...although I still like the ruffled edge best.
Anyway, this was a glimpse into a future craft project I plan on making soon!
Those are all lovely photos. I would love a nice white quilt. Well, I'd love to be able to quilt at all. The last one and the third to the last are my favorites. Pinterest is such a great place for ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly! Quilting is really not that hard at all!! Are you able to sew? If so then it's super easy! My aunt taught me when I was 16 and I've made three small quilts since. I've attempted a queen size (the one mentioned in this post) and will continue to work on that while I made this new quilt!
ReplyDeleteIt's mostly a lot of cutting fabric and piecing things together so that they line up correctly, but that's really not so hard!

So many pretty options, Helen! I can't wait to see your finished quilt! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
