I have been contemplating for months making a quilt for our king size bed..my idea is grey tones with a LITTLE bit of yellow. We recently repainted our bedroom a very pale grey color, curtains are white, and I just bought this bedspread from Ikea:
My idea was to make a nice throw quilt for color (a whole lot less work than making a king size quilt) AND bonus- if I ever get bored of the color- I can change it.....oh I'm liking the sound of that more and more...I can change it out with the seasons! What a concept!
Okay now I'm rambling...
SO TODAY i FINALLY bit the bullet and ordered all my fabrics I've been tagging on Pintrest!
Fabrics shown are:
Ty Pennington Way in Gray
Heather Moore Cloud9 Cut out and keep Avenues

I also have some Kona cotton solids in grey and white that I will also add in.
