Fiona the Ogre Princess

I started this quilt a few months ago. The block is from Sweetwater's book The Simple Home.  I tweaked it a bit and set it on point, and I really liked how it looked.  Then I decided to make a quilt with it.  I made one in the "lap size" range and looked at it and thought, "she wants to be bigger."  So, I added a few more blocks and looked at the twin size version and thought, "she wants to be even bigger still."  So, with some trepidation, I forged ahead and she grew and grew. Until....

I had to push together the twin beds in our guest room to create a place where she can rest comfortably. I've named her Fiona after the princess ogre in Shrek, and yesterday

 I packed her off to Tia who is going to quilt her with beautiful a Welsh motif which I think is more than fitting for an ogre princess.
In the meantime I am preparing Fiona's room for her.  She will have a new slipcover for her headboard

and a coordinating bedskirt.

And pillows. Lots of pillows.

And when it's all done, I might just pack up and move in there myself!
