Crazy About Quilts

I love quilts, all shapes and sizes, all colors and patterns.  Everywhere I go I always gravitate toward a quilt or a quilt design.   I have many quilts in my home, when I took stock the other day I discovered that I have at least one quilt in every room.



I love to hang quilts.  This one hangs in my family room.  I try and use it as a focal point to take away from the look of my husbands recliner.  Men do love their Lazy Boy's.


This smaller one hangs in my hallway leading to my upstairs.



The above two hang in my spare bedroom.  Love my cat wall quilts.


This one I hung in my downstairs hallway.



Whats better then a warm cozy quilt on a bed to welcome guests when they come to visit. The quilt is paired with a crochet blanket that my Aunt Betty made for me a very long time ago.


A Christmas quilt to brighten up the holidays.


I even love pictures of quilts.  This poster I bought when I visited Lancaster, Pa. few years ago.

I would love to make my own quits but unfortunately I cannot sew a stitch  so I created my own way of creating a quilt pattern using paper.


Using a die cutting machine I cut out  intricate patterns that replicate a quilt pattern and pick coordinating colors and prints to create a one of a kind faux quilt framed pictures.


This one is in teals, reds, greens and yellows.


So no matter how you stack it up,  I am crazy in love with quilts.




I am sharing this post with Brenda at Cozy Little House   Kathryn at The Dedicated House,  Knick of Time     Savvy Southern Style Wendy at The Shabby Nest  Sunny Simple Life   Lambaround and Homemaker on a dime.
