Finished - Bunk Bed Quilts and Family Bedroom

Finishing the bunk bed quilts was a wonderful way to get my sewing momentum back.  And I am quite pleased with the results!
I used this tutorial to make these simple Irish Chain quilts and chose the fabrics to coordinate with the  queen quilt in the bedroom.
Quilting with an easy, large loopy meander was very relaxing and creates a lovely, comfy quilt.

Before today, it was like spring here in Northern New England.

The bunk bed quilts are slightly different sizes to allow for just enough over hang for each bed.
The family bedroom is in the lower level and natural lighting is limited.  We selected a light, happy wall color and white window treatments and linens to brighten things up.

The quilts were key missing ingredients needed to finish the family bedroom.  A couple of fun pillows were not part of the original plan for the room but why not?


Elizabeth Hartman's hedgehog and fox add some personality to the room.
I am still in search of something interesting to add to the wall to the left of the window but I love how the room looks now.  My husband says we need to charge our guests more now for this room!

We had a beautiful snowy day in New Hampshire today. Sunset was quite nice.

On to the next room in the house!


Wishing you a lovely weekend!
Kathy
