Virtual Quilt Festival



I'm late to join in this fun event, Park City Girl's Quilt Festival, but hopefully not too late. Shoot, I'm late for most everything so being late for this comes as no surprise to me!

Below is the quilt I've chosen to highlight in my first ever quilt show. I had so much fun looking through my quilt images. Choosing one was no easy task as so many of them carry special memories and meanings. But this one, made from scraps that I absolutely love, is certainly high on my list of favorite quilts ... so much so that I'm planning to make another, similar one, very soon.

The squares are randomly pieced over muslin and then finished with lots of decorative stitching. The border is done in the same manner, but in long strips instead of squares. The squares are set off by the white sashing.

The backside of the quilt is an orange checked fabric.

More about the quilt here.

Those of you enjoying the tour of the quilt festival ... relax, put your feet up, have a cup of tea (yes, you can eat and drink at this quilt show), and have a look around. I'm glad you're here and welcome you to come visit anytime!

  7. This is such a lovely quilt! I had to laugh at your story of wanting to share when, why, how you bought each fabric with someone who would buy the quilt...I know exactly what you mean!

    I loved the black and white quilt you featured in the last post, too. One day I'd like to do a red, black and white one. One day :-)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  22. I love this quilt! It is so happy and fun! Beautiful. I like the crazy quilt in the squares which are so vibrant with the white border. It is inspirational.

    I saw your comment on my post...and you are right.....I never said if the baby was a boy or girl. The baby is a girl and more joy than we ever imagined. Her name is Alethea...which is greek for truth.

    Kudos to you for homeschooling your kids. I did it until high school. Although, this looks like one of many of your hats you are wearing!

  26. I love you color sense. Though not quite conventional it is fantastic. As I looked at the blocks and the pieces you chose to put together I realized that you have a feeling for color that isn't simply by the rules and I appreciate your innovations.
