project beautification continues

this is an idea of what my quilt that i'm going to sew for our bedroom is going to look like. i wanted something simple with not a lot of pops and buzzes and came up with this design. it was so helpful to cut little swatches from the fabric to visualize different designs. i am also going to add a 6" chocolate brown border. the robin egg blue theme is still running strong. i like the idea of unifying my house with a common thread- that thread being, viola- robin egg blue! our bedroom right now looks like a college dorm. the mattress is on the floor, my hubby has the only bedside table, my books and magazines rest ever so snugglely on the floor along with my mismatched lamp to j's. in a word - work is needed. it took me forever to figure out scale, yardage, etc. but i think i got it! tune in soon (give me a few weeks) for the quilt result - the whole bedroom revamping may take longer!
