Quilt Festival


Amy at Park City Girl is hosting her Bloggers Festival of Quilts and this time I get to join in! Last time I had not even completed my first quilt and did not even have a blog - so much has changed since then! I don't have masses of quilts to choose from as I am still so knew to quilting, so I will tell you about my first quilt. It was made using a tutorial by Oh Fransson and was my first effort using a pattern, modern fabrics, binding and well everything really!
I loved the process of choosing my fabrics (the Amy Butler Belle is my favourite) and seeing my quilt slowly come together.



Surprisingly my favourite part was making and sewing the binding - I was expecting to dislike that bit but found it really relaxing.

So there you go - my first quilt! Have fun looking at all the amazing quilts at the festival.

    What unique colors. I'll be looking for these amy butler fabrics at my 2 favorites shops! What a unique way to roll the quilt for a photo of the bound edge! I'll have to try that sometime soon.

    I cannot believe this is your first quilt; it's fabulous! I love the colour combination and the quilting.

    I cannot believe you love the binding part either:-)
