First Annual Bloggers Quilt Festival ~ Spring 2009



Favorite Quilt. Hard to choose so I went with the one that I enjoyed creating, the one that was fun and the one quilt I can see making again simply because it was fun. Indian Paintbrush, a pattern by Patchalot.

A click on the photo and you can see how I worked to mix and blend the center of almost every star.


Arrowhead border work challenged me.

Hanging around waiting to have the final black border so she can be quilted.

Karen said...

I can see why you like this quilt. Those kind of stars are a bit harder to piece and have them come out correctly. You did a great job both on piecing and color selection.

Darcie said...

That one is a stunner! But I love the reasons that it is your favorite. "Just because." Really. How many *things* in this life can we say that we'd do over in the exact same manner? That's pretty cool if you ask me.

Hugs of friendship...over and over....
