It's that wonderful time of the year when Amy Ellis of Amy's Creative Side hosts the Bloggers Quilt Festival - Spring edition. Go be inspired by all the fabulous quilts in several different categories. This is my second entry this year, so my apologies to my readers who have already read this on my earlier post! Welcome to those of you coming over from the linkup, hope to see you again!
I wasn't able to decide what I wanted to post this year, so I decided to post both of them, my first post is here, which is my entry in the Home Machine Quilted category. This is my entry in the Mini Category.

| Colourblock |
Colourblock was made as a result of a theme challenge in the Tangled Textiles group of "Artistic License". I really enjoy the graphic nature and colour blocking of some of Piet Mondrian's work. This is my interpretation, and I can't begin to tell you how much I like this one! It's simple and clean, graphic - I think there will be more along these lines! Simply quilted with straight lines, which is somewhat unusual for me, who tends to quilt the life out of things...

You have captured the Mondrian style so well and the use of those quilting lines gives it so much added interest without taking anything away from the colour blocking.. Love it.
