Sometimes I make stuff and think its OK. Then sometimes I make stuff and I like it. And every once in a while I make stuff and I love it! Well, I made this quilt and I am 120% in love with it. Like, I think it’s one of my favorite things I have ever made. At least top 5.
Back in June, Ashley from Mommy by Day Crafter by Night, hosted a quilt-a-long. I had good intentions to stick with the time frame. But being my usual crafting slacker self, I didn’t. I learned a long time ago that when I craft on a time frame, it isn’t good. So, I let it go and teased with these instagrams over the past few months.
It is so me. Happy Colorful Grandma Chic :) If it wasn’t crazy, and I didn’t live with 3 boys, then my whole house would be bright floral print. So (with the exception of the polka dot border) every fabric in this quilt is a floral print that I love. I also started this quilt in June so I was HOT. I did a little research and I found out that sometimes in the south, ladies would just use a sheet instead of quilt batting to keep it cool. This quilt is the prefect temperature. It can breathe but even in the winter its just warm enough. I used our very first sheet that we bought when we moved in together. I never had the heart to throw it away. I’m so happy its in there.

What a gorgeous quilt! I am so impressed, Pinning, and maybe when I get my sewing ADD under control I could attempt this :)

Hi Taylor,
Saw this quilt and couldn’t resist commenting. It is BEAUTIFUL, I love the work you did on this number. It is so colorful, and feminine and I absolutely adore your fabric choices.
I too am always on the lookout for good blogs to read, some of my favorites are (sorry if you read all these already!): In Color Order, Attic 24, Diary of a Quilter, and I think you might appreciate A Girl And A Glue Gun.
Anyway again I LOVE this quilt you made, it’s absolutely fantastic!!
