A Quilt in My Future?

My recent focus on spiffing up my son's room has really put my crafty prowess in overdrive and got me thinking about my daughter's room. We converted her crib to a full size bed just before my son was born and I have been struggling to find bedding to match her room ever since. I'm pretty darn picky when it comes to things matching, so lately I've been thinking that I might just make her bedding. What's that? I think I just heard the seams on my to-do list burst!

Yeah, I'm pretty good at piling too much on my plate, but I'm having a really hard time resisting these gorgeous fabrics

My daughter's room is done in green and pink and I think these fabrics would look beautiful as a modified version of the Oh, Fransson! Simple Modern Baby Quilt. Of course a prerequisite to taking on this project is finishing my son's room first. What do you think? Am I crazy? I've never done a quilt before, so I'm a tad nervous.

  1. I'm the same way, I add way too much to my list before tackling the things I already want to do.
    I love the fabrics you've chosen. I've never quilted, so I don't know much about it. I have made raggy quilts and they're easy & cute.
