Quilts conjure up images of Summer in the country. I like that quilts provide a use for leftover odds and ends of fabric and that the designs are endless. I am going to help my mom make Gwenna a quilt for her bed (for the warmer months) out of leftover fabrics I have collected. I am so excited because I have never done this before! I think quilts feel really fresh and happy right now, and I love that they have a long history. Here are some of my inspirations:

In LOVE. The Old White Cupboard shop available at etsy.com Here is a gorgeous 1930's vintage Dresden quilt. |

| What a statement this would make in a bedroom...it just screams "Summer!" |
 |
| I am loving this bow tie design! |
 |
| Look at the intricate pattern and charming fabrics of this quilt. |
 |
| Incredibly sweet! I love the butterflies. |

| This pattern reminds me of my daughter's headboard fabric. My favorite designer, Sarah Richardson, uses quilts often: At her farmhouse and island cottage. 
Sarah Richardson's daughters' room at their cottage.
Richardson's master bedroom at her Farmhouse. She designed the room around the sunny yellow-orange in the antique quilt she found at a flea market.

but it is perfect in this room and on this quilt.
My Mom made this pillow out of a patch from my Grandmother's baby quilt.
The quilt was in bad condition so this was a great way to salvage such a beautiful
piece of our past. Thanks Mom!
