Whoo hoo! My first quilt for our bed is almost complete! Yes, I said first! I've made almost 100 quilts and I have never made one for my own bed! Scandalous! Anywho, this is made entirely of the super yummy AMH Folksy Flannel line and I made a simple brick path pattern. This allowed me to have a "his" and "hers" side--which was important because my hubby would not have slept under a pink quilt. He has his standards. :) The back is ENTIRELY VOILE!!! You heard me! Almost 8 yards of delicious AMH Little Folks voile! I promise to have more pictures soon!!! I'm so excited for this one! P.S. It was a freaking b*&$h to quilt this sucker! Me + queen sized quilt + straight line quilting = misery!
UPDATE: here a few other pictures

It is beautiful! I love the his and hers sides idea. You must be so excited and proud.
i really love it kelly! i bet it was horrible to quilt. huge and silky soft, hard to keep a hold of...
yay for you! It looks awesome! Bet it feels even more wonderful!
Gorgeous! Congratulations on the finish!
It's gorgeous Kelly! I hope you sent a pick to AMH...tell her she can sleep under it for a night if she comes and hangs out with you all over your fun weekend. ;)
This looks fabulously soft and wonderful.
Love these bright cheery colors!
It's awesome. I am so happy for you and jealous. I was laughing about you having made 100 quilts, but not one for your own bed. I have probably made 20-25 quilts, and yet only one of our beds is covered by something handmade by me. But it's my son's bed, not mine! I think I keep waiting for the perfect idea before I tackle our bed. I need to get over it.
Ha! The his/hers idea is so fun. I'm glad you finally have one of your own, K!
Oh how gorgeous, love it, and the 'his and hers' idea too!
