The Making of a Wall Quilt

Posted on by in Home

Wall quilts are usually a quilt with a sleeve hanging on a wall.  Not here!

And now I present: Modern Rose Garden: Wall Version.

(color is cool.  life is too short to live with beige walls.)

It’s amazing what you can get done when the kids go to school. I hope to have the whole room done in a couple weeks (have to make curtains, quilt, sheets, pillows, etc).

    Um, I’m gonna have to go with no. 😉 My poor ol’ arthritic self had a hard enough time getting that one wall painted (I hear violins…).

    That looks really cool. You could even use some of the boxes as frames, and hang stuff in them!

  12. Sarah says:

    Love it! I know, super original comment 😉

  13. Jessica Tierney says:

    Very cool, Emily! It looks so much like a Mondrian. I hope to see the finished room pics also! 😀

  14. Melissa says:

    Can’t wait to see the finished room! What room is this? A guest room? Liam’s big boy room?

  15. Susan says:

    What did you use to seal the tape so paint did not go under?

  16. emily says:

    The background/sashing color.

  17. Angela says:

    This is amazing! Did you have any trouble with the paint peeling along the sealed edges? You know, not from sticking to the tape glue underneath, but from the seal of the paint over the top edge.

    1. emily says:

      Luckily I didn’t. I used the super delicate tape — not just the blue tape, but the delicate surfaces version. I also took it off as soon as I was sure it had covered.
