Katie and Dave hard at work
Dave, Lindsey, Katie and Ellie from above... Ellie has quite the quilting skills we found out!
Finished product~ with edging! CUTE huh!!!
So, Lindsey and Matt traded mattresses and Lindsey didn't really LOVE Matt's old red/blue comforter, so I have been telling her all summer that we would teach her how to tie a quilt for her bedspread this summer... so since it's August already, I decided we needed to get to it! Thanks to LuJean for letting us borrow her quilting frames and thanks to DAVE for being our expert at ALL projects~thanks to Target for the cute sheets.
These pictures are taken when we are almost ready to take the quilt down (only one row left). This is after about 9 hours of work! And we still had to bind it! :)This brown/tan/pink polka dot pattern will go really cute with her pink walls. GOOD JOB everyone! We had fun quilt tying while watching the first 2 days of the OLYMPICS! :)
P.S. If you are wondering if quilting is any cheaper than just buying the comforter, NO it isn't. I found out. I just wanted to give Linds the experience! It's a great family activity too!

Way to go! It looks so cute - almost makes me want to do it again. NOT!!! I'm glad I have a break b/4 the next graduate...love you. Aunt Lannie
Awesome job!! Way to go.
you've inspired me...Kira has been asking for a while to make a quilt and I just keep procrastinating it. We are about to change her room colors, so that would be perfect. Even Dave got in the action:) Seemed like you had fun!
Very impressed - what a cute pattern.
Thanks for doing that for me Mom and Dad!! It looks so good thanks to you. Thanks for sewing Dad! Thanks for buying and helping quilt Mom!
I love you and appreciate your help.
Lindsey
