Bloggers Quilt Festival 2012

Every year, Amy at Amy's creative side hosts a festival: the Bloggers quilt Festival.



If you came here through Amy's site, welcome! I'm Anne. I started this blog just a week ago, but have been quilting for almost 2 years now, am largely self-taught, and am immensely enjoying all the blogs and quilts on the internet. In fact, I spend way too much time behind my computer instead of behind my sewing machine, which is one of the reasons I have plenty of WIP's.

The quilt I chose is this one:
I made it in september last year for a colleague of mine, who gave birth to a little boy. Because it is a baby quilt, I didn' t want to use too much white, thinking it needed to be practical in the first place.  It's the first cross quilt I've made, and I chose blue, grey and orange (boyish colours to my mind). I used some animal prints, without them being the focal point of the quilt.

As you can see, it was quilted with simple straight lines in grey. I didn't like FMQ for this one, the pattern was already busy enough so the quilting needed to be simple.
This is the back:
Thanks for visiting and have a lovely day!
Anne
