My Girls' Bedspreads...Finally!!

Okay, so a number of months ago I was working hard on these adorable bedspreads for my girls' beds and a few of my friends asked that I post pictures when they were finished. The bedspreads themselves have been finished for awhile now, but I was still working on pillow shams. I still am planning to make a few decorative pillows to throw into the mix and we still don't have bedskirts for them, but at least you get the idea. It all started when we got new beds set up in their room for them, Sydney got a new full size bed, and Sadie got a daybed. So then I got looking for new bedding that would somewhat match and liven up their room with the boring white walls. I ended up finding an ad on KSL with full size and twin size matching sheet sets from Tommy Hilfiger for $35. I figured I could make them into simple but cute duvet covers, until I talked to my mom about my plans. She just happened to have a full size and a twin size chenille bedspread that her friend was going to throw out, and told me I could use them for the girls' beds. But, with boring white walls, I didn't want just plain white bedding too. So I then got the inspiration I needed from my neighbor friend who makes the cutest quilts with chenille blocks mixed in with her other patterned fabrics. They turned out so cute, I absolutely love them. They add so much spunk and personality to my girls' bedroom, and they love them too!!

Sydneys quilt has a somewhat random pattern to it

(as random as my anal side would allow anyway),

and Sadie's all runs diagonally.

I had so much fun with these quilts that I actually pulled out some denim squares that I cut out to make a quilt for Matt probably eight or more years ago, and got the top all sewn together to give to him for Christmas. I just got the batting and flannel for the back of it last Saturday, so when I get it all finished I'll have to post pics of it too. I can't believe how hooked I've become, I just love creating things, especially for the people I love!!
