So far I have two projects done form my bedroom redecorating. The rug, as I posted earlier, is my first rug and an original design. The quilt pattern is called Summer's End by Primitive Gatherings. I purchased the pattern last summer at Quilt Market in Minneapolis. Wool was, of course, the choice for the applique but it is also the background and backing. My love of wool grows with every project I use it in. The quilt really isn't misshaped, but since I am vertically challenged it seems that way when I take the photo from a lower angle. The rug isn't misshaped either. I just stood at the end and snapped the picture. I've never claimed to be a photographer.
The quilt that is going on my bed has been a years work also. It too is wool applique but with a cotton background. My husband chose the pattern Applique Affair by Laundry Basket Quilts but after completing all the blocks I realized it wasn't near big enough for the bed so I added 11 more blocks from the book by the same company called Hop To It. With only 3 blocks left and a few of the border blocks to applique I am very close to being finished. This has been a quilt that even though I am excited to see it finished, the process has been the real pleasure.
