Getting things set up in the house. We were going through quilts we had saved and stored away and found this one. My grandmother (on my mom's side) made most of them and when she passed, we found some that had been made but never used.
With the guest room being pink and yellow in its color palette, we figured this one would be perfect on the bed in there. Bought some new sheets and put them on and then put on this quilt.
Here is a closeup. I remember when we my mom pulled it out of the linen closet at my grandparents' house, she looked and the star shapes and recognized some of the fabric from dresses she had as a child. Most of it was from old flour sacks that doubled as extra fabric for creating things around the house, including dresses and/or quilts.
I took this picture before we put the bedspread on so you all could see it. Not sure what this pattern/detail is called but I bet some of you out there know, ha. It fits the bed just enough, though it doesn't go down the sides much; it was probably made for a full-size bed instead of a queen, but it still looks awesome on there.
We are waiting on one piece of furniture for the room and it will be finished. Once it's done, we will be sure and post pictures. We love how it's coming together.
