Blogger's Quilt Festival: Original Design

I am so excited that it is Blogger's Quilt Festival time again! I look forward to this every year and love looking at all the wonderful entries! I am very excited this fall that there are new categories for modern quilts and original design.

This is my entry for original design. I made this for my quild's "put a goose on it" challenge and I really love the way it came out! This is one of my favorite quilts I've made this year. I echoed the flying geese V formation with my quilting, and I think it came out so well!

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Modern Quilt

I am so excited that it is Blogger's Quilt Festival time again! I look forward to this every year and love looking at all the wonderful entries! I am very excited this fall that there are new categories for modern quilts and original design.

This is my entry for modern quilting. I love this quilt, I love the quilting and I love the colors. It is one of my favorites!



It doesn't hurt that I also love that I got to take pictures of it in the snow! :)

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Large Quilts - Swoon!

Hi! Welcome if you are visiting from Blogger's Quilt Festival! I am so excited to share this recent finish - it is one of my favorites!



I have long wanted to make this pattern, and I purchased a FQ bundle of Denyse Schmidt's Florence line with some birthday money last summer.  Finally, after the holidays were over, I had time to cut into this loveliness!

I used Kona Coal for the background, and I really like it - I think it compliments the colors of the DS fabric very well.

I am so happy to have this on my bed!

Blogger's Quilt Festival: ROYGBIV Quilts - Less is More

Hi! Welcome if you are visiting from Blogger's Quilt Festival! I am so excited to share this quilt with you today - it is one of my new favorites!



I finished this quilt earlier this spring for my quilt guild's solids challenge. The pattern is Less is More by Elizabeth Dackson, available in her book, Becoming a Confident Quilter.

I changed it up a tiny bit, but having the center of each block be one color, instead of a shade of the other colors in the blocks. The light grey is Kona Ash, and the dark grey is Kona Steel. I used a FQ bundle of Kona solids for the blocks - I really love the way it looks!

I finished up the binding on this on our drive to Indiana this March, and it snowed while we were there, so I was able to take my first 'quilt in the snow' pictures! :)

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Rainbow Zig Zags

For my second blogger's quilt festival submission, I reached way back into my quilting archives for this baby. (First blogged here)



I used 8 Kona solids and Kona Snow. If I made it again I wouldn't strip piece it - I had some trouble with strips biasing.

I love the way the colors dance in this quilt, and I would love to make it again!
