By now I've caught up with my blog reading and seen many many beautiful quilts. Many of them were part of the On line Quilt festival that Amy at Park City Girl organized for all of us that don't have the chance to visit big quilt shows.
Check out my side bar for the link to see all those great quilts featured.
It was hard to pick just one, but ..
Here is my favorite...
This quilt started as a charity quilt for baby boy in Kentucky mountains. I pulled out my scrap bin and one very sweet (father and son) fabric, I bought a while ago to make this quilt.
Also, I wanted to try some improvisational piecing inspired by Jacquie, so I just played along as pulling scraps from bin.
All this became one beautiful quilt. I fell in love with it and could not bear departing it to the unknown.
So instead I kept it and made three other quilts for Mountain Baby Blankets project.
It is also the biggest quilt I ever quilted on my own and I am just all over that crinkled softness.
Here all for you a load of pictures of it that I love...
