Finally back to sewing

This summer is the season for projects, especially sewing. A few months ago I decided I needed an Asian inspired duvet cover for my bedroom. I have always loved jades and magentas together, so this was a project of pure indulgence. I used a bed sheet for the backside (gasp! a big quilter's no-no, but I make my own rules when it comes to sewing). When I lay in my bed with this cover, I feel like a million bucks.

Another sewing project I completed in just a few weeks is a baby quilt. This was another indulgence as I love to make small quilts. Quilts for boys are totally underrated too, they are so much fun! I chose plain fabrics for the top and a cozy flannel for the backside. The pinwheel design turned out fantastic with these colors.
