I originally purchased this fabric [Leda Blossom from Joann’s] the day I found out we were having a girl. It was going to be her bedding. The only problem was it is upholstery fabric so it is itchy on the back side and wouldn’t really work for a quilt. But I was going to make it work if it killed me because I LOVED it and couldn’t find anything else that remotely interested me. I have since based the entire nursery off of those colors as well. But once I found the Far Far Away Fabric to use for her quilt I decided the Leda Blossom would make a great rug!
So I bought cotton bias tape {or quilt binding} and sewed it along all four edges. My machine wasn’t too fond of the thickness of this fabric so it’s not perfect, but it was a quick and easy.
And for $35 total I have a rug!
I have searched everywhere for a rug and holy cow are those things expensive!!!
I still have some more sewing to do and have several things to hang on the wall, but it’s getting there! I am now in search of a toy basket. I am thinking a galvanized tub similar to this one {painted of course} to go where her hair bow holder is in the picture above:
I will need it as a home for these guys!
