Sew & Tell Friday #37

It's nice to participate in Sew and Tell Friday again...yeah!


My daughter's quilt top is finished.  As I mentioned in a previous post, this is a quickly pieced and a great way to feature those fabrics you really don't want to cut into.  I may use this idea again.


I haven't shown a Moments picture in a while.  This is where the quilt will live...in my daughter's messy room.  I had to take all her stuffed animals off the bed to see how the quilt will look.

Binding and backing fabrics are still being discussed.  I'd like to make some pillow shams.  Anyone know of an easy pattern?  Be sure to look at all the Sew and Tell Friday posts....you'll be glad you did!

Have an amazing weekend!!!

  1. Love this simple and bright quilt...you're totally right-it really is a great way to use those fabrics you just don't want to cut into little pieces.

  3. Nice! I love how this is a wonderful use of "so beautiful I don't want to cut it up" fabrics.

  6. I have already used the same pattern twice (flannel quilts) and can see myself using it again for sure.
    I have used this pillowcase pattern heaps!! When I want a super quick pillowcase I eliminate the small piece of 'pop' fabric. I just make the contrast bigger.
