When my daughter asked me if we could go to the quilt store to shop for fabric for a new quilt for her bedroom, there was only one answer - a resounding YES!
She chose every fabric for this quilt to match her comforter. Everything she picked is what I would have chosen myself. She has a good eye for color... she might just be a quilter someday!
Making a quilt for a preteen, I really wanted to make something from the book
Quilting Modern by
Jacquie Gering and
Katie Pedersen. My choice was
Blind Co-Pilot, but dear daughter would have none of that. She liked the quilts that had a more traditional look. We compromised on
Supernova. Here is the progress I've made so far. It will have a white background to match the background of her comforter. Oh and white Minky on the back - that was one of her requirements, too.
I'm having fun doing something that's a little outside the box for me.
I definitely get the excitement! I loved making quilts for my daughter but now she makes them for herself... :(
