Last weekend I enjoyed a leisure weekend of creative time, uninterrupted sleep, and gourmet food. What beats that? It was the fourth annual trip to Bonny's Quilting Haven in Hutchinson, MN. I worked on my fourth quilting project. I only quilt during this weekend so I'm still a beginner. Next year I think I'll be ready to try something a little more complicated then
this Amy Butler pattern, but the extreme gorgeousness of the fabrics I found made this quilt into a beautiful spring oasis complete with little bugs and toadstools. I've decided to make the quilt top into a duvet cover. I just feel like it should be fluffy and light. I'm going to add a mustardy-yellow/green as a border to make it big enough for the queen-sized duvet I bought at IKEA and the back will be of the same cover. I want to try to get it done soon so my mother-in-law can quilt (the top to a piece of muslin, not the entire duvet!) it with her new quilting machine. I'm thinking flowers and swirls for the quilting.
