A Long Time Coming...

 
Oh, this Nicey Jane quilt
has been 
a LONG time coming.
 
 
It was started 4 years ago and
 has been quilted for a year
 and just sitting here.
 
Because I wanted it for my bedroom
and you know...
you need shams or pillowcases to go with it
and that just never seems to be a priority.
And I didn't know
what to do for them??
 
 
Finally, we put our house up for sale and then it became a priority.
 
This is our new room.
There used to be a treadmill, weight machine
and a dining room table in here.
Yeah.
It was bad. 
 
 

 I was making a duvet cover,
but then switched it to curtains.
  
 
My mom is the little one
 and the one by herself is my grandma. :)
 
 
There's a good shot of the quilting.
 
 
I'm so so happy this is finished.
 
It's on sale in the shop.  I can let go now ;).
The curtain fabric is her Garden District Sateen.
Here's how I did the window frame.
The quilt pattern is on Moda Bakeshop -
I used a neutral to make my fabric stretch
and highlight the diamonds.
 
 
I love the back too.

  3. Love your quilt. I've been thinking that I need some Nicey Jane before it is no longer available. That's usually the time I decide I must have something.

  8. I have always adored Nicey Jane, but the stash is not getting used with me working 6 days a week. Sigh. It's stupid when you have the money but not the time!

  12. Your quilt is beautiful.
    I have lots of this fabric in my stash, love it!
    I cannot find the pattern on MBS; can you remeber the name?
    Did you start with a layer cake, charm packs or fat quarters?
    What can you remember?
