Open Windows now has friends!

Last March I made my older son a quilt (Open Windows) and today I finished up the entire bed makeover by sewing pillow shams.  I used this pillow tutorial from the Oct/Nov 2010 issue of Quilt Magazine as a guide for the easy slip in method for the pillow inserts - no zipper involved!  


Open Windows and friends
I'll admit that I am now completely sick of these colors - including the grey - and am so glad to be done with this project.  Woe is me that I think I'm going to go with grey for the t-shirt quilt project.  Help me. 

The best reward for my efforts?  A very thankful older son who gave me a big hug. Love that boy.  

Now if I can only get him to keep the bed looking like what you see above.  

Have a safe and wonderful rest of your Friday,
Susan
