Hosted each year by Amy Ellis, the Bloggers Quilt Festival takes you on a virtual quilt show, with some amazing quilts, all from the comfort of your own home. There are numerous categories and lots to see, so make sure you head on over and check out all the quilty goodness.
Your can enter a maximum of two quilts, and here's my first one - this is being entered in the Home Machine Quilted category.
This quilt was started a long time ago - back in 2011 - and was a group quilt made as a round robin quilt through my traditional guild, the Blue Mountain Quilters Guild. I started with this block,
handed it off to the round robin organizer and then I didn't see my quilt again until the top was completed, some months later. I was in a group with some fabulous creative quilters, and was thrilled with the top I got back.
I just didn't feel my quilting skills were up to snuff to tackle it at the time. Fast forward 2 years, to last November, when I decided I was ready and started planning my quilting. A lot of SID to stabilize the different areas, and then I went wild and had some fun.
I love how this quilt turned out!
The quilt is approx. 50 x 54 inches, I double batted it with a layer of wool over cotton, and used Aurifil 50wt and Superior Bottomline throughout. It was stitched on my HV Mega Quilter.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the show!
Happy quilting! Janet
