Friends A & N introduced us to Dunkin' Donuts coffee. As a gift they gave us a bag to take home. It is like regular coffee x's 5. Seriously. I have been wolfing it down, and getting a lot done!
Yes, I made this! It is VERY FAR from perfect. Trust me. I have less than $10 in it too. All the fabric, backing, and thread came from yard sales and Goodwill.
The bias tape scared me. That is the biggest reason I have never tried anything like this before. Then I remembered what my friend Adrienne (who btw, has some mad sewing skills) once said. She said to make it curved, and that way you don't have to tackle those corners.Off to drink more coffee.

yum, coffee!
I'm so jealous of the quilt. I'm still too chicken to try.
Do it. Seriously...It is not as hard as you think. And curving the corners makes it a million times easier. Mine has oodles of flaws, but it will survive..and I hope for a long time!!
It is beautiful! Nice work Karen. {And I am amazed that you found that Heather Bailey fabric second hand.}
Most of the patterned fabric came in a $1 scrap bag at Goodwill....Some of the scraps were too small to use, but most I could manage to get a 4 x 4 square....
Wow! Love the quilt! Aren't you glad you tried? I told you you could do it. Mitered corners are a piece of cake. I'll show you sometime.
