A Sneak Peek

Have you ever seen something and thought "I just have to have that!"   

Well, that is exactly what I thought the very first time I saw this gorgeous Rosette quilt.  I think it is just the most beautiful, luscious, squishy piece of bedroom linen I have ever seen.

I have been in love with it ever since the first time I laid eyes on it 12 months ago.  Since then it has popped up in numerous decorating magazines and a number of beautiful blogs and each time - my heart has skipped a beat.

However at $319 it is WAY more than I could justifiably pay for a quilt - regardless of how fabulous it is.

Quilts and me do not have a good track record.   In fact, I have gone through more quilts than I care to remember.   A small rip here...a colour run there.....I (we) are very hard on quilts!   

It also doesn't help  that Mickey and Buffy have no regard whatsoever for the niceties of life.  I wish I had a $ for every time I had to literally d r r a a g g g  them off the bed!  "Get off that bed Mickey - you naughty dog!!!"    Grrr.......

So, regardless of my huge case of  "quilt envy" - I had resigned myself to the fact that it was never going to happen.

That was of course, until I saw this.........

On the front cover of this month's "Home Beautiful"

Pang! (sound of arrow piercing my heart)  - there it goes again.   I just LOVE that quilt.

As a matter of fact - I just LOVE that whole bed with its gorgeous lilacs and pop of yellow.  So perfect for Spring.

So, it got me thinking.  

What if I was to make that quilt?    Then if anything did happen to it - well I wouldn't feel guilty at having spent so much buying it.    Perfect!

So that is exactly what I am doing!

At under $60 I have bought all the fabric/backing etc. and have started on this little school holiday project.

Stay tuned for my big reveal + a little tutorial I am putting together on the making of my DREAM quilt.
