...building the nest.... stage two-ish....

get accent wall painted.... 

cause it's free and we need some color in there...

check.

yeah- its not as bright as i wanted...

but i think next to the vintagy "visiter's" quilt it will look just fine...

the brighter turquoise blues wont be too close to clash...

and quite frankly, i'm not here long enough to care.

the quilt i am going to do is inspired by this on at moda

called meandering path.

and i now have all of the supplies to go ahead.

i had to quasi- redesign the pattern to fit a queen and made a few changes...

here's the pattern i designed in excel.

{and yes, i was given the stink eye by my husband when he saw that i had done so.

cause i always tease him for being so nerdy.}

"i don't want to hear it again," he says.

wish me luck

beginners shouldn't try this...

oh the thinks you will think...

 i guess you would call this nesting.

my sudden need to quilt and design a baby room...

i have been doing some online hunting... 

and i decided, i am going to start with this one here,

that i absolutely love and i think it is [boy-ish] enough for me...

then find other fabrics sort of like these...

 

obviously there will be a color-matching issue if i get them all online...

then i was thinking, 

since baby room is [currently] doubling as the guest room...

the bright mary englebreit quilt needs to go.

the furniture is mostly black and white... and red...

and then i will add the red and turquoise as the baby stuff goes.....

so i may have already purchased some fabric for that quilt...

 gettin the picture....

i know, i need to stop before i hurt myself.

i am quickly becoming my mother and will soon be hosting quilt groups!
