It is show time again!
Amy over at Amy’s Creative Side is organizing the 8th Blogger’s Quilt Festival. It gets better each year.
This time I am going to show you my latest finished work.
It is a baby quilt that I made on commission. The customer wanted a colourful quilt, and to have photos of family members in it. (The photo prints are better in the real quilt than they look in the picture above, where I have blurred the faces).
The quilt has 155 log cabin blocks with one round of “logs” in them, plus 14 photo blocks. I used 75-80 different fabrics total in this quilt.
The quilt is approximately 1 x 1 meter. Since it is quite small, I have quilted it myself. Doing a little at a time, my shoulders braved it quite well.
The customer had taken a fancy to one of my previous quilts, so the design is inspired by the quilt called “Light”. It is the third quilt down on this page.
I enjoyed making that quilt, and I also enjoyed making this one.
This is my 8th time participating in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival, and my entry is #70 on the linky list.
My quilts entered into the previous festivals can be seen here:
It is great that Amy is still organizing this event.
Please head over to her site, you will find links to lots of lovely stuff, you can nominate entries in several different categories, and then vote later on.
Enjoy!

Love quilts that play upon color.

This is a wonderful quilt. I’m sure your customer loves it.
I love photo quilts they are so personal, loving your colours
Just gorgeous! It reminds me of those photo mosaics that look like a picture and then you look closer and it’s made of tiny photographs…
