OK, I might as well. I wasn't going to participate at first thinking I am not really qualified, but as the rules state anybody can enter I then decided I should be nice and mingle with all the great quilting bloggers at the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
So here is my entry in the Blogger's Quilt Festival, one of my favorite quilts which showed me how easy it is to surprise myself.
It is made up entirely of charms which I really didn't like and wanted to get rid of. It is actually the back of another quilt and ended up looking better than the front. SURPRISE!
Simple but beautiful, that's my motto. I have realized I prefer the simpler designs and modern fabrics, they go better with my life and my flat, so there will be more of those on the blog.
Making this quilt also showed me that even the ugliest scraps of fabric can look beautiful if combined in a quilt.
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" or something like that. So there you go.
I hope you like it.

your quilts are so yummy Nadine! And that Dolce...oh my, so gorgeous! I don't have any but now I'm really wanting some. And I absolutely cannot wait for the Tufted Tweets line! I'm trying to hold back on buying anything else for a couple of weeks so I can throw a lot of fabric $ at that line...should be out soon I think.

ReplyDeleteIts funny how that works isn't it? I have been using some the fabrics I would no longer use on the front as backings. I love turning the quilt over and seeing these oldies.

ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely cheery rainbow quilt- I love all the rich colors in it. It would make me smile every time I walked by it.
