There is ALWAYS something happening in Blogland…now it’s the Blogger’s Quilt Festival sponsored by Amy’s Creative Side…I LOVE this festival!! I am praying for rain this weekend so that I can justify sitting in front of the computer for HOURS ohhhhing and ahhhhhing all the quilts in the show.
I had no problems picking the quilt that I want to enter…it’s the quilt currently on my Blog Header. I just finished it last week and mailed it off to baby Isobel. It is such a happy quilt and I loved the fact that I used scraps of fabric from my stash!!
The secret to making a quilt that makes you smile…is to pick happy fabrics to make your happy blocks… ..and you are guaranteed to get a happy quilt!! This was such a fun quilt to make! I used a variety of fabrics cut into 1”-2” wide strips which I paper pieced onto 8 inch squares of paper. If you are visiting my blog for the first time make sure you leave a comment…I always love to hear from new folks!
To see other quilts in the Blogger's Quilt Festival hop on over to Amy’s Creative Side and start clicking on the links. The quilt photos and stories will keep you tied to your computer for hours!
Have a Super Saturday and Happy Quilting!!
It is a fun quilt made with fun fabrics! I would not have even one of those colors in my stash. Wouldn't it be fun to sew with someone else's stash for a day!!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE your quilt! I made this pattern for one of my grandsons with blue center strings and gold star corner stones. I have been planning to make one for his sister out of pastels and sherbet colors. After seeing yours I think the white centers will be perfect.

I have a thing for strings. Isn't it amazing what a pretty pile of them can turn into. Very pretty quilt.

ReplyDeleteOooo...I LIKE it! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteit's very lovely. but i cant believe it was all made from scraps! gosh!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great fabrics too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Quilt! I like the method of using paper instead of foundation fabric. I take it you took the paper off before quilting. I find when using the fabric, it makes the quilt too heavy, even before it's layered. next time I make a string quilt, it's paper for me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very happy quilt! And I'm trying to avoid being bitten by the Schnibbles bug . . . you're not helping!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiration. I'm going to give a quilt like this a try. Wish me luck!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Festival!!!

ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a happy and beautiful quilt! What a special gift for the little one that you created it for!
ReplyDeleteI am a novice quilter, with many unfinished projects...and only have completed mini quilts for an exchange and one wall hanging! I hope to complete some at least crib size for our future grandbabies.
Blessings & Aloha!
