Bloggers Quilt Festival

Amy is hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival again, and I am happy to enter this quilt into the show. I've shown it before but I really do love it.

This is a quilt I made for my friend's wedding.  They got married last year, and I sent it a few weeks before their wedding.  I don't send out all my quilts for longarm quilting, but I'm glad I did with this one. There is no way I could have done those perfect concentric circles!

Here is a close up:

They really loved it, and it went perfectly with their living room decor. It's based on a pattern by Jason Yenter called "Block Party".  It was a lot of work but definitely worth it!
