When we were creating the nursery for our little girl I knew we wanted to incorporate pink (my favorite color) into the room while still having a gender neutral theme. I was unable to find any bedding in what I was looking for in stores so I decided I would need to make my own.
So after looking at virtually every fabric option possible, I settled on a nautical theme from Premiere Prints in bright pink, gray, and navy. These fabrics are twill and duck cloth, making them both heavy and warm.
I started with a crib quilt using chunky 6” squares of fabric. I contrast the twill and duck cloth quilt top with a soft minky backing in navy. Due to the weight of the canvas and twill fabric I opted to not use batting.
Next I worked on a fitted crib sheet using Riley Blake anchor fabric. Then I created a crib skirt.
I hand painted four 12”x12” canvases to coordinate with the nautical themed quilt.
I painted the dressers gray to match the crib and added a pop of the pink on the drower knobs. And then finished off the room with a light gray walls plus a navy accent wall. Overall I am quite pleased with how it turned it.
There are still a few details that need to be completed before I can call the room complete. I found some chip board anchors that need to be painted, I want make a bow organizing board using leftover fabric, the shelves need some more decoration, and I would like to add a strong inspiring vinyl decal quotation to the wall.
But that will be for another post. So stay posted to see what I come up with. And until next time, have a Sew Scrappy Day!
