Dreaming in Full Color

Like always, when winter comes knocking on my door I'm ready to brighten up our home for hibernation.  I'm thinking of doing that with a new quilt for our bed this year.

I thought about making one similar to the table cover I made a couple of years ago, just a little bigger.
When I walk into my breakfast room the bright colors always make me happy.
I love piecing quilt tops BUT here's a little secret,
 I don't really like to quilt.

I've saved this tutorial on my Pinterest board for months now. 


I could quilt the pieces (on the machine) as I go and when the top is finished, the work is done.
TA-DA!
 
And goodness knows, I've got tons of pretty cotton scraps just waiting around to be made into something useful and cheery.

  2. What a cheery Log Cabin quilt you made for your table. Makes me wish I had learned to sew but I don't have the gift. I took various sewing courses through the years but they didn't make a seamstress out of me! The rag quilt looks lovely too, in its own way. Happy planning.

  4. I've never quilted a stitch in my life, but I can sure see the ease of the rag quilt! Your table cover is beautiful (and very happy!) and I can just imagine a bed covered with something similar!
    So glad you stopped by my blog.... good luck with your scarf! (When I cross stitch, I use a magnifier that fits on my hoop or I'd never see the chart!!)
