Bedroom Fabrics

All right I finally came through with the fabrics for my soon to be quilt. This first photo is all the grey fabrics that I am using for the main quilt blocks. The top polka dot is actually a men's shirt that I am using. The more I look at it I'm not sure about the Amy Butler fabric that has the blue flowers. I am not sure about the blue...does it take away from the others? That fabric may have to move to the accent stack, but we will see what I find.



These are the green, navy, and aqua fabrics that will make up the sashing between the grey blocks. The fabrics on left are cotton shirts I got from goodwill to use in this quilt and maybe a few others. Some of the grey block fabric will be used in the sashing as well.



These last two fabrics are probably my favorites. The grey paisley I would love to use as quilt blocks but unfortunately, it is made of broadcloth, a kind of duckcloth textured fabric...heavier used more for upholstery and curtains, or in this case pillows. The second animal print fabric is another favorite. I love the "greige" color with the aqua and who doesn't love a little animal print?!? This may become pillow cases or accents on other pillows, or who knows what.

I also have 3 more grey, black, and white fabrics that I forgot to scan. They are the original fabrics that I thought were a little too traditional. I may end up using them in the quilt somewhere or in pillows. Either way, I am really happy with my selections and can just see the room coming together.



Now I just have to get started! :)

  1. I am super impressed you are working on a quilt! I don't think I could do it... but I wish I could.

    In regards to our farmhouse table - we do get crumbs in the grooves but I've been able to get everything out with a pointy nail file {b/c I am anal like that}. I think if you bought a farmhouse table the boards would be much tighter together and the crumbs problem wouldn't be as bad.
