Triangle quilt and a room redo...




If you follow me , Heather on Instagram (@quiltstory) then you have seen these before. Sorry about the camera phone photos, these smart phones take such good photos, that I have been neglecting my nice camera. Anyhow, I have been redoing my daughters room. We are doing soft mint, ballet slipper pink, soft tones and gold...

After walls were painted, I started painting items for her room, and sewing bedding. First is this triangle quilt pillow. I used this tutorial I found on Pinterest. Pretty easy, the triangles were easier than I anticipated. 



I quilted the sham with just a quarter inch around each seam. Simple and nice. 



Here is the first pillow on her bed. Love. 


 I made this sheepie a while ago. I love her. One of the favorite things I have ever made. And I had my husband make me this little wooden house. I used this pretty Brambleberry Ridge fabric from Michael Miller as wallpaper. (the same fabric line in the pillows)


What makes me happiest about this room is how much me and my daughter created for it. We painted the walls together, and everything on this wall is made by us except the flying bunny. (and frames) I painted all the art, and me and my daughter did the embroidery projects. 


 Then I was on a roll, so I decided to make a "quilt as you go" pillow. I loved making this pillow. Fast cute fun project....




We still have a few more plans, but I am really happy with everything so far!

  17. I love this room so much! I love how you and your daughter have handmade so much of it together. So sweet! And darn it all if I don't love that wonky log cabin pillow with that sweet HR trike at the center. Beautiful!

  19. Beautiful!!!! What an amazing bedroom for your daughter! I am hoping to do something with my daughter for her room. If they help does it make them want to keep it clean?

  21. How pretty! And it's so sweet that it's a "together" project. :)

  22. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! I want this room for myself, and I'm in my early 30s!! The color palette is truly spectacular; I've seen those colors used heavily in PBTeen rooms, and just ADORE them!!

    One negative, and I know I come across as a grammar Nazi to almost everyone I know, but you keep using the verbiage "me and my daughter." Why?! Oh, why!? It's either my daughter and I, or my daughter and me, depending on its use. I hate that this bothers me. :( I'm sorry.

    You're definitely FAR BETTER than I at all things quilty, though, so I'm totally sure you could school me far more than I could ever school you.
