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,

Your mini quilt is lovely. Great job.
That is a neat quilt. I love the colors and the motion.
I love the precision of Paper Piecing, but not the process. Your Mini could have been in the Rainbow ROYGBIV category, too. I wouldn't want to give this one away. I've entered all of the Blogger's Festivals, I think. My favorite Blogging time of the year.
It turned out great Cindy! I love everything about it.
Lucky partner, your quilt is beautiful! Love this white and black fabric for the background.
Fun to visit blogs from BQF!
Beautiful wallhanging. You did a lovely job with the piecing and the applique (which I hate to do) Your partner will really like it a lot.
Looks awesome!
What a neat design! And I love all the colours!
This mini is so much fun. I love the brightly colored fabrics with the white/black background fabric. That card and dice print fabric with the beautiful blue fabric really adds to the movement of the quilt. Great job!
Lovely rainbow mini quilt.

What a wonderful mini quilt! Lucky swap partner!!!
Oh! I love this one. Great use of colour and a great design. I don't know how you managed to part with it - I'd be making another one for myself asap.
When I saw the thumbnail of this quilt on Amy's Creative Side, i just had to see more. Your quilt is wonderful and you must be pretty wonderful yourself, to be making it in order to give it to someone else!
Fantastic!! I love the bright colors and the low volume background. It's just so happy!! :-)
