I Am No Martha Stewart.......
Ok, I try to be creative but sometimes it just doesn't work out for me! But, I was planning on making the bedding for this little girl and I found this amazing deal at Target (thanks Tiffany!) for an entire bedding set for $13. It was exactly the colors I wanted and it had a type of floral/vintage motif which is what I was going for. So the sewing the bedding idea was out and I made a quilt instead. My friend, who is amazing at sewing, made a quilt for her son and it is a little vintage-esque which is what I wanted, so she helped me make it. Thanks R for letting me hangout at your house and for teaching me! I used a sewing machine for the first time (thank you very much), and it doesn't look half bad. I mean, the stitches aren't that straight and there are a few squares that are bunched up, but it turned out so adorable and I kind of don't want Lila to use it now! What do you think?

i'm impressed! nice job, can i get one? :)
Court, that is such a cute blanket!!! I can't believe you bought a bedding set for $13!! I have looked everywhere, and the cheapest set I found was $100...and it was ugly. Most sets were like $200 which I just have a hard time dropping that kind of cash on bedding! So let's hope I'll be able to make all my bedding.....But seriously, I love that little blanket! You're so crafty Martha!
Love the way it turned out! Great colors!!!!
That is so adorable! You did a great job, i love your sense of style!
Good Job! I was thinking the same thing and have the same skills, so I will share my sentiment on my experience: The more you make the better and faster it gets!
