Bloggers Quilt Festival

Whew! It's been a busy week in quilting/crafting blogland! There was no way I could get through all the giveaways for Sew Mama Sew's giveaway day.  I did what I could!

Now you're probably here for the Blogger's Quilt Festival! A big thanks to Amy for organizing, as I really do love it!



Here's my entry (which my followers have already seen):
Out of Line quilt front

The pattern is called "Out of Line" and it is from Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr.  I had a lot of fun with it.  Those strips are really small though--some have a finished size of .50"

Here's a detail shot:

You can see the black ones are the thinnest strips.

And here is the pieced back:

The turquoise is "Proud" from Keri Byer, and the red is Joel Dewberry's Deer Valley.

The quilt was a barter with my friend Peter. He is an artist and traded us one his paintings for a quilt.  I really love the painting, so I'd say it was a fair trade!

Enjoy the rest of the festival!

    This is absolutely gorgeous! Looks almost like a rag rug from the distance (I mean that as a compliment!). Love the colour scheme too.
