Awhile back, Eli started telling us his room was a baby room, that he needed something new because he wasn't little anymore. I agreed with him and started thinking about what to do in that space. I decided his room needed to be gray and navy with a little bit of red thrown in for contrast.
The first order of business? New quilts for his bed. I had made him one QUILT a few years ago, but felt like for this room re-do, he needed two. I'm not sure who thought he needed bunk beds, but making two quilts was kind of a doozy! I used THIS pattern, but made it twin-sized.
And then I made another one!
Notice my little helper peeking out between the quilts! :) I love how the asymmetrical squares make it look a little modern without being being so over the top.
I splurged on the backing for these quilts. I bought the PEZZY PRINT in navy and covered the entire back of both quilts. It took 12 yards!! When I ordered it from FAT QUARTER SHOP, they sent me an entire bolt. I'd never bought an entire bolt of fabric before!
The quilts look great on Eli's beds, too. He wanted them unstacked and I like it better this way, too. The gray quilts are from Target and the throw pillows are from Pottery Barn Kids.
We haven't finished his room yet so I won't go into paint details and all that. I've given myself the deadline of October 1st to have it finished so hopefully I'll meet it. I'll post all about it then. But I couldn't wait on the quilt!
