Bloggers Quilt Festival :: Spring 2012


It's that time again! Bloggers Quilt Festival. A giant thank you to Amy Ellis who hosts this event twice a year to showcase our quilts.



This is a mini quilt that I made in the For the Love of Solids Swap.  My partner requested simple, she likes white and wanted pops of color.  I agonized over this one as it is hard to dig in on a project for someone you don't even know - gah! 

The Tumbling Cubes pattern came from the talented Amy Ellis, from the book Modern Basics (I love that book!)  I just scaled it down a little bit.  Here is another quilt I did with the full size of this pattern last time around.

At the end of the day though, she loved it! I won't tell you which side is the front and the back because either side could be the front or back.  Tell me, which side do you like best? The one block of color or the pops of color?

I hand quilted this to subtly enhance the design and because I wanted to do something new that challenged me. I really love this quilt because it is simple and modern but not bland.  Sometimes there is a fine line.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by and enjoy the festival!
