When we switched Sawyer over to a twin bed a few years back, I wanted a certain quilt from Pottery Barn, the Kasey quilt.
Isn’t it just perfect for a little boy? Unfortunately, the price was a little out of my reach, so I decided to make one like it (with my mom’s help of course, as she is an expert quilter!). I went to the fabric store and bought all the fabrics on sale and with coupons. I couldn’t find any greens I liked so I stuck with the primary colors- red, yellow, and blue. I cut strips all the same length, in variegated sizes, and sewed them all together until I had a wide enough quilt. When that was complete, my mom helped me lay it out to back it with the royal blue solid fabric. I was able to complete this work and then sew the backing on, but I could not for the life of me top stitch it so that it would hold together, so that was where my mom had to step in. Thanks, Mom! But for around $40, this is the quilt that Sawyer has on his bed now…
Also wanted to thank you all for the lovely comments on my home tour. I am planning to paint Sawyer’s dressers after it was almost unanimous. Haven’t decided what color yet, but stay tuned! 🙂
