Spring Break Continued...

So the pillows weren't enough...in fact, it just opened up Pandora's Box. I had some blocks left over from when I was trying to decide on what I wanted for my quilt that I have now. Along with some fabric that I had left over from the jelly rolls....I decided to make a Twin sized quilt. So therefore, the Benzo block was continued on to this quilt.




I was excited with how it turned out. And the best part of all...it was from everything that I already had. And I still had some extra fabric, so I decided to try another block I had seen on a blog, and make a crib sized quilt...





No, that isn't an announcement. In fact, Joe and I joked around that I have cursed us of ever being able to have a girl...we will probably end up having boys instead. I had so much fun!! By the time I was done with these projects, I must admit that I was quilted out...for now anyways.

Spring Break...

During my spring break, I got to play and do whatever I wanted. I love to do crafts and it has been since I was dating Joe that I worked on quilts. In fact, the quilt on our bed was one I started working on Fall of 2009 and finished February 2010. But by the time the lady finished quilting it, I decided to save it for after we were married. I had some fabric to make pillows, and so I went at it...and went a little bit overboard... 



But I enjoyed myself, and that is what counts, right? And these were pillow cases I embroidered for one of my Young Women's project.
I thought everything together looked great....minus the fact that Joe hates messing with the pillows....But I LOVE our bed!!
