This past August my little sister moved out of our folks house in Virginia and into my spare bedroom in Austin. I had been renting a 2 bedroom for myself and my craft addiction, but decided to cram as much of my craft stuff into my living room as possible until we can move into a house this April. My IKEA bookcases are now lined up behind my couch, and my sewing table doubles as a side table. So far we’re making it work but we are both looking forward to having more space soon!
My fabric shelves with extra storage up top:
My weird cat somehow managed to climb up a large pile of polar fleece I was storing in the corner cubby made by the bookcases:
My other weird cat took advantage of the empty shelf while I was reorganizing my fabric a couple weekends ago:
Anyhow, back in August I decided to make Ally a simple, modern quilt as a welcome to Texas present. I’d been wanting to play with solids and Denyse Schmidt’s Point Me quilt seemed like a good option. I stupidly asked her what colors she wanted (something I swore I wouldn’t do when I started this quilt endeavor) and wound up making the quilt green and grey. Green and Purple are two colors I gravitate away from, but I think it turned out nicely. The pic below is of it on my bed, because after Ally moved in she decided to get a single futon type bed until she gets more space. If I’d know this would have been twin sized, oh well!
Love this! I’m inspired to use the same pattern for a special someone. Good luck on your move!
Thank you! Good luck on your version, I’ll keep an eye out. It was really simple, gotta love half square triangles on point!
Cute cat pics. They are so sneaky. Love that point quilt. A very nice finish!
This quilt is beautiful. The grey and green work very nicely together. Despite your accidental asking for advice on colors, I think it turned out very nicely. Modern and classy.
