It seems crazy to do a American Girl bedding when I'm a grown adult and have no girls in the house, but I really adore all the AG girls!
The reason I changed the bedding was that I have a few mini quilts that I can't manage to get up on the wall. I have room, but want to the to keep my room as uncluttered as possible. I'm already failing a bit, it's a work in progress.
I decided that the AG bed would be a great way to display them! I already had this Hawaiian quilt HERE without a home that I made a few years ago now.
I decided that the green quilt on the red check and toile was just a tad too Christmas-y for my taste.
I used the existing red check canopy to make the new canopy pattern. The green plaid fabric was extra homespun cotton from stash I had no plan for. The pretty green fabric is a bird fabric that reminded me of the red toile before.
I've decided that a quick mini quilt project to update the bed will be perfect for the quilt blocks I love, but have no desire to make an entire quilt, like the famous Swoon possibly.
I think the next mini will be a Mapleleaf mini for the fall. Won't that be fun?
So cute!!
ReplyDeleteI am just like you! I am the mother of three boys and I keep AG dolls in my craft room. I enjoy mini quilts to decorate the day bed. I just wish I could store mine up higher because I don't like too much on the tables. Darling set-up!
