Bedspreads (FINALLY DONE!)

So it only took about 2 years to finally complete these, but I set a goal to have them done before our big move back to Oklahoma and I DID IT!I started with a massive pile of ruffles. About 10x the amount shown here.Which if you ever decide to do, invest in something called a ruffle foot for your machine. Which I'm sure most experienced seamstresses know about, but I sure didn't.

Then I used about 200 pins when I laid out the ruffles before sewing them on the pink top. I hate pinning, but it was a must.Now my girls hate me pinning too...we keep finding leftover pins in the bedspreads.

So my tutorials are short and simple.

I made a million feet of ruffles, pinned them on the pink top of the bedspread and then sewed down the middle of the ruffle.
I did add a detail that I'm so glad I did. I put a rope edge around the bedspread. I think it makes it look finished.
Then I just used black cotton material for the back. I didn't use any batting in between since the top was a thick fabric.

So, I think I finished my girls' room just in time to move out my oldest to make room for a new baby...DUE DECEMBER 15th!!! We're very excited!

Up next, (hopefully it'll take less time than these bedspreads did) a red & white bedroom for my almost 6 year old.
