Wavy quilt

TADA! so nice. I added the last collumns together last night and then ironing so that the seams can lie flat. It makes such a nice picture! I'm really happy with the way it came out! WOW

GOING CONTINENTAL

I decided to make new continental pillow cases, as the plain ones I had was a little sad looking. My bedroom is looking so snazzy with the new quilt and new cushion, something had to be done. It took a bit of scratching through my things for similar colors and also dashing off to the fabric store to get some more pieces. They are almost identical in pattern and also double sided. Me being so very fond of the log cabin quilting style, I decided to stick with it and came up with these cusion covers. I think they are gorgeous!

my wavy quilt

I was so inspired when I saw this tutorial for a "wedding quilt" - I immediately decided that I will try this out and give it shot.
So I went about thinking of the colors that I want to use and then started cutting. and cutting and cutting some more....

So this is a little taste of how it will look like. I haven't added the strips together as yet so it looks a little uneven, but that's ok. Once it's lying flat and iron properly, it should start to look really beautiful.

For my quitl I decided to opt for purply colors like Grape, Mauve, violet, lavender, egg plant, etc. And instead of using white pieces in between the rows, I opted for beige, mushroom, sandy colors instead. I am hoping to even out the contrasts and it looking a little more cohesive. It might not look as striking as the quilt from the tutorial, but hey, this is one will be timeless and snug.

I will post more photo's as I get along with it. I hope to get a little further with it on the weekend.
