Blogger's Quilt Festival

Have you seen?

- the bloggers quilt festival is on again, hosted by Amy of Amy's Creative Side

What a great way to see lots of quilts and discover new bloggers!

I've never entered before but I wanted to join in the fun, so I've decided to enter my 'vintage spin' quilt

- it's my most favourite scrappy quilt - ever!

Way back in September 2015  I attended a Modern Wedge class with Kathy Doughty from Material Obsession

Actually finishing a quilt takes a bit of time of course, so fast forward to now

and I have a quilt that ticks all my favourite boxes

- a lovley eclectic mix of scrappy modern florals & vintage fabrics!

-  Here they all are spread out on the design wall  floor.

Only a few more to make then it's the scary bit of trimming these circles down to squares!

- just a bit of fussy cutting

Lots of fabric fun with this!

Hm-m-m- Kathy's comment was 'it's right out of granny's linen cupboard'

well, all I can say is that this granny must have had a few memorable moments!

- stitching down the b&w centres, hehe mr D. asked if I had lined up all my dots?

what?!? 

{I'm more of the 'perfection-is-overrated' school of thought!}

- quilt top all done & dusted

- then it's off to the quilters

for those all important decisions about thread & quilting pattern

- and measuring up of course!

- back home again

and admiring the quilting by Annette from Wild Cotton

a simple overall loop-de-loop pattern, nothing that detracts too much from the yummy fabrics!

I learnt alot making this quilt
- I can see now that 'contrast' really was the key here

and how the color of a fabric is not really known until it is actually playing beside it's neighbour!

I'm linking up my quilt to the Scrappy Quilt Category

Why not grab a coffee and check out all the other quilts in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.

Oh, and don't forget to pop back there and vote for your favourites next week!
