I love to sew just about anything. I also do lots of crafts and painting shabby chic. Sewing is something I've been since I was 11 years old. I made my first quilt top out of neon cotton material back in the 60's and now my daughter is the proud owner of the quilt. I make I Spy Quilts, I Spy Bags, Tooth Fairy Pillows, girls clothing, crayon aprons, pin cushions, just about anything. Sewing just gives me peace of mind and puts me in a comfort mode.

This is the pieces to the quilt that I've been making for a while. I haven't been able to find the backing to match it as the colors are always off. When I bought the bathroom curtain I loved the way they added different textures to it. I found a small pack that matches the material off of Ebay that I can add other textures to now. Now that the bathroom has these colors in it and looking at some of your blogs I really want to finish this quilt and go to my Thrift Stores and find things that I could also put in the bedroom that are timeless and pink:) I can't wait to go back to your blogs and see what else motivates me!!

I can see a darker mauve/purple/green backing, and a darker binding to show off those lovely flowers.Cheers from Jean

That looks like a great start. Backing is such a hard thing to choose so I hope you find something that suits it =D
