Bloggers' Quilt Festival - Reversible QAYG Bookshelf Quilt

Hello all,

and welcome to all you lovely guests who made it over here from Amy's Bloggers' Quilt Festival. Please mingle and say hello (and maybe stay and become a follower even, that would be great :)

Today I am sharing my finished Bookshelf Quilt with you, pheeewww, only took me a few months, but it was worth it, I absolutely adore it and will think really hard whether I can bear to put it in the Etsy shop. It's a generous lap quilt size of 48" x 58".

This is another reversible quilt with Kaffe Fasset fabrics on the top and the Tradewindows quilt on the back made with Tradewinds fabric by Lily Ashbury for Moda. This quilt is another Quilt-as-you-go project like several of my other quilts too.

 I love the result, I could never quilt so densely if I had to quilt the whole quilt. Even on my new machine (yay!) it will take me lots and lots of practice until I can Free Motion Quilt a whole quilt like that.

I am participating in Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival  again so go and have a browse through all the other amazing blogs. Will have to go pop over and snoop around all those lovely blogs myself.

Lots of love from York,
Nadine xx

  8. Wonderful! I love making the backs of my quilts as atractive as the fronts so this is very much to my liking. I've never understood why people lovingly cut and piece the front of a quilt then throw whatever they can find (usually, it seems, with little thought) on the back so they can quickly get it quilted. Yours is terrific! Two quilts for the work of one. Lovely!
