Master bed quilt

About a year ago, I was going through a difficult time, and I felt like I needed something to brighten up my outlook!  I had seen a display at Ikea of a darling yellow & gray bedroom, and I decided that would be just the thing!
However, it has taken me almost a year to complete a quilt to go across the foot of the bed.  I love having a quilt at the end of the bed: it adds variety, makes for cozy afternoon naps, and gives me an excuse to make another quilt!  ;)
So I don't have a lot to say about this quilt, except that I completed it in 2 weeks (because it was wintertime: no yard work needing done!).  It was a pretty quick quilt since it only consisted of sewing a bunch of strips together, cutting them at an angle, then sewing them back together again!  Also, I always wash and dry (yes, in the dryer!) all my quilts before I display them.  I like the way that washing gives them a puckered, vintagey look.

The final product!
