Finally got the bedskirt done! It kept getting put aside for other things.to get done. Here are a few pictures. I have one that shows the whole thing on the bed (couldn't get a very good picture). I did the hem with the wave stitch on my serger - I love the look of it and have used it a fair bit. Then the rest are pictures of three of the sides.

Wow what a lot of work. Can't wait to see what you do for a quilt. That is outstanding. I could imagine the trouble you had doing it all in one length of fabric.

Thanks! We have a great quilted bedspread, but it's too warm and we only use a sheet so with the bedskirt it hides the box spring and beneath it.
I had four panels of which I did embroidery on 3 of them (the fourth was close in color but had tiny white polka dots) and then joined them.

This is beautiful! I am way behind in getting mine made, too. Care to share any pointers on how you made/assembled the skirt itself? I am very new to my serger. I'll have to see if mine does a wave stitch. This is very nice. I know your are quite proud of it!

Thanks! Further to what I said in the answer below (to babash) After I embroidered the three panels, I joined them and then hemmed them using the wave stitch (a special stitch on my serger), then joined that to the sheet I had cut to fit inbetween the boxspring and mattress.

Great job!! I made one and vowed it would be my last. I do remember the idea to use a flat sheet as your starting point, Kay

Thanks! Yes it was a lot of hoopings and I never thought about counting them - might have to do that.
I just went and counted them - there were 61 hoopings!

wow seems to cover my response - so imaginative and pretty! Great solution to covering box spring and very unique. I would have been nuts trying to decide what all designs to use, etc. Great job!!

It was difficult to decide! I did the horses for on my hubbies side and the dolphins and butterflys on mine and then on the end I had the two meet in the middle with the double horse heads.

I like the swirls and the butterflys best,and their colors,altho the horses are pretty too.Love the yellow fabric.Wish you would have given me this idea a few months back-lol- my g-sons wedding shower is this Saturday.I could have done something for them, to match their BJquilt,I made.Oh well,I do have more g-kids-lol

ps.where are the swirl design and b-fly designs from,please?
Thanks. Oh, darn, sorry I didn't put something up sooner - lol. The swirls are from dbc, but they are by basketkase #9189447-102009, but not sure if the nbr on her site is the same.
The Butterflies I'm not sure where I got them.
The Butterflies I'm not sure where I got them.
OK - I checked again and the swirls are ones that I bought around xmas and when you go to her site point to designs and a menu drops down, click on everything else - the page it takes you to go to the left side down to the 23rd row and that's the one.
