So I had a bunch of scraps left over from Alyssa's quilt, scraps from clothes I've made for the girls, and a stack of charms that I had won online. So what better way to show them all than in a rug and curtains for Alyssa's room? Here's two variations of a stacked coin design.
For the rug, some woven material on sale at our local fabric store was pieced with the cottons for the top, the woven material was used again for the backing, and a rubber material stitched to the back so it wouldn't slide around.
For the curtains, a solid white cotton was used with the charms, and a blackout material for the backing.
And voila! A fun coordinating room that she won't outgrow too soon (aside from the toddler bed). Now to work on those bare walls . . .

A great use of leftovers from the quilt. Love the stacked coins pattern as it really showcases the fabrics. Great finishes this week.
Love the rug. It totally ties everything together. I might have to make one of those for my little girl!
What great ideas! I would never have thought of making the rug. Nice finishes:)
Very cool...and I love how it all looks together...
Great finishes...
The curtains turned out beautiful - they look great in there.
Wow, you must be superwoman! I only have two preschool aged kids and making time to sew a quilt is hard enough, let alone then turn them into a rug and curtains! They are so lovely and it goes to show that patchwork RULES when it comes to home decorating. I think "rules" as a term might just date me a bit, hmmmm lucky I dont have teenages! Happy quilting, Sue.
Very cute!
