blogger's quilt festival


Amy's Creative Side



I am looking forward to visiting all the blogs and seeing the quilts that each one is showing for the Blogger's Quilt Festival this year!

I decided to showcase a quilt that I haven't ever blogged about, and I don't know why, because it is one 
of my all-time favorites.
My entry is 107.




  It is an original quilt, made up of a square in a square pattern using Kaffe Fassett fabrics.
It is one of my favorites because I love all the bright colorful flowers.  They look great together like a flower garden at its peak, with all its glorious blooms : )  


The quilt measurements are 52 X 62 inches.  It was LA machine quilted by a friend, Debbie Croft.



I hope you will take some time to look around my blog.  I host two linky parties each week.  The first one is Little Quilt Monday, and it is for any small/mini quilt projects.  The other is Show Off Friday, and it is for any project that you would like to share.... both can be a WIP or finished.  

piece,
elizabeth

    Beautiful quilt! I'm probably the only one in Blogland who thinks that most all-Kaffe quilts are a bit overwhelming but you achieved a beautiful balance with your cutting and color choices, allowing the individual flowers to shine!

    I love your quilt because I love all of those older Kaffe prints. They are so gorgeous and impossible to find any longer. I think your quilt is a real treasure and I can see why it's one of your favorites.

    Hi! Your quilt is amazing! During my trip to Finland I was able to see Kaffe Fasset's books in the library and your quilt is as beautiful as his! I love those flower fabrics and the busy colourful garden scene! x Teje

    I love your quilt and how it shows off the fabrics. My Festival quilt is made mostly from Kaffe fabrics too. He's one of my all time favorites when it comes to fabric design.
