I forgot to add pictures of the quilt I made over the summer. It was basically the easiest thing ever
(that was the point...the last one I did was much more labor intensive). I made it a twin size so that I can actually use it
(the other one was made for when I get married...which we all know is still awhile away). And I got crafty and made myself a wicked sweet pillow to go with it. And all the patterns I used were blog stalked.
The quilt pattern was found here. And I regret to inform you that I saw the pillow pattern on a blog, filed the pattern in my head, and completely forgot where I found it. So, sorry unreferenced blogger! Here are the pictures:



Instead of forcing my mom to do the quilting, like I usually do,
I figured I'd do it myself.
In a young and free spirit
(I mean, if you're going to make a quilt for your lonely college bedroom, you might as well throw some panache in) I quilted it with my favorite song lyrics.
Featured here is "The way it pops and fizzes"
(from The Band Perry's Hip to My Heart)Other lyrics included:
-"I want a love that's still alive and well in rocking chairs"
(Andy Grammar, Keep Your Head Up)-"Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and back in the saddles"
(Shakira, Waka Waka)
-"Good times never seem so good"
(Neil Diamond, Sweet Caroline)-etc etc...

And here's my pillow.
It still makes me happy.

First off...I'm very pouty that you didn't remember the pillow tutorial. I was all ready to pin it for further use.
just so you know.
Other then that...FABULOUS quilt! I love it! It's just so lovely and I just adore that you quilted it with lyrics. That's seriously so fun!
Kim! I've been blog stalking and I found your blog. I love it.
That is an awesome quilt. Nice work. Putting song lyrics on it is a sweet idea. I love that pillow.
there had better be at least one picture of me on that picture wall or this relationship's over.
that's all I have to say. and that I like your quilt a little bit.
um....and I sure hope you used Shakira's "lucky that my breasts are small and humble so you don't confuse them with mountains" from Whenever, Wherever.
