Bedding Finished!

I finished the bedding this afternoon and I decided to put the bed together and snap a few pics of it in the upstairs bedroom of the dollhouse. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out, though I think I may make some some more throw pillows to fill out the bed a little more. I posted a few more pictures of the room and my Brownie Haha in my flickr account which you can check out here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tsukiyonomiyu/

At this point I need to focus on drawing, so I’m putting away the dollhouse until possibly this weekend. I’d like to finish out the bedroom a little more, but I still have to put in some flooring and wallpaper, so I should probably focus on that stuff before I do more decorative things. Well, enough rambling! Time to do my comic work.

Laying out a 1:12 dollhouse quilt.

After finishing the bed mattress I got started on sewing the quilt that I want to go on the bed. I can’t believe how much time I spent just placing all of the squares until I felt I had proper balance. ^^; Anyway this is the final layout. It looks large right now because I allowed for a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Each square will be about 1 inch after sewn together.

Since laying it out, I already got started sewing it together. So far everything is going OK, but it’s being a lot more labor intensive than I had originally imagined. Also, despite measuring everything countless times and planning before any cutting began, somehow my quilt is winding up just a tad bit too long from the head to the foot of the bed. I think I’ll be able to work out all of the issues though when I sew on the backing, and it should still look cute. I can’t wait to get the bedding all finished, then I’ll have at least two pieces of finished furniture for one of the upstairs bedrooms and I should be able to take a few cute pics.
