We have been working on adding some decorating to our guest room lately.
We hung a few pictures of various urban scenes, from Paris to Vegas to Madison to Hong Kong.
I made a few mini quilts for the nightstands, beginning with this fabric of vintage New York City postcards.
I used this fabric of vintage NYC street scenes for the backing because it was so adorable, I didn’t want to cut it up into smaller pieces.
These mini quilts were especially easy projects because I used one fabric for the top and one for the backing, so there wasn’t much cutting, no piecing and easy quilting.
I bought these city collection fabrics on our last trip to New York City that I want to staple to art canvases for another large blank wall in that room.
It’s been fun to liven up our guest room, which always seems to be a work in progress.
Hi Terri! Looks so inviting! I love those unique fabrics! Have a great weekend! x Teje
I love the minit quilts for the nightstands. The interesting fabric is perfect. Well done.
Very cool theme! Love the mini quilts:)
Yes it is fun to do up a guest room I agree;) Such great elements you are adding to yours.
wtg Terri – your mini quilts are adorable and go perfectly with your urban themed guest room. You are putting me to shame on the sewing front – my machine hasn’t seen any action at all this year – zilch – but I do so enjoy seeing what you’ve been busy with 🙂
So cute. The mini quilts are wonderful. I would love to spend time in your guest room!
Reversible mini quilts, what a great idea!
Hi Terri,
Oh I want to come and stay in your guest room. The mini quilts and artwork are adorable. Love homes with plenty to look at.
Happy days.

Love your guest room travel theme – your guests will never want to leave:)
That’s fun. I need to personalize our guest room. I need to begin with making curtains. LOL.
What a great idea to do mini quilts to liven up the room! I’m starting on our guest room this spring as well.
I love the vintage NY scenes piece of fabric , so unique!!
