When my youngest son finished college and moved into his own apartment a few months ago, we got rid of his old childish furniture and put a king size bed in there and made it into a guest room… empty nest, you know!
So, I decided it was time to try my hand at making a realllly big quilt to put on it!
I went through my stash and collected up all the fun bright fat quarters in peach and pink and green and purple and a bit of brown and yellow!
I used the original Turning Twenty pattern for the design, but 20 fat quarters did not make a big enough quilt, so I used 36 fat quarters, instead!
The block layout was six rows across and six rows down. It is such a fun scrappy quilt!! I named it Peach Melba! Waddaudink??
The throw pillows and bed warmer on it below, are actually turned with the back sides up, because I like it better that way!!
The pillows and bed warmer were made with the leftover blocks from my Four Squared quilt!
Currently I am working on a second king size quilt for my own bed also using fat quarters but my own design! The colors are quite the opposite of this hot quilt!! I’m using cool blues, purples and greens! Stay tuned!!
What have you been working on lately??? Enjoying spring??
