Twice a year Amy Ellis hosts the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Its such a great time to blog hop and see some wonderful quilts and read inspiring stories. I've only entered a quilt once before in 2012. You can see that quilt here. Mostly I like to just see what others have done. But I just finished a mini that I'm in love with so decided to enter the show!
So cute!
Its a single 16 inch block from a quilt pattern called "Whirlygig" by Becky Goldsmith and Linda Jenkins. From their book called "Quilts with a Spin".
The center is hand appliqued. The circle of triangles is paper pieced.
I am always saying how I don't enjoy paper piecing (and I don't) but I keep doing it! Some things are just better done that way. :)
I quilted in the ditch all around the applique and triangles. Then did some circle quilting around the entire center.
This mini is actually for a swap....so yea, I'm giving it away. I sure hope my partner likes it cuz I really really love this one!
There are 12 categories in the Festival....mine is in the Mini group. Go check them out: Bloggers Quilt Festival Fall 2015,
