Jumping in on Blogger's Quilt Festival!

Amy'sCreativeSide
Yay! I get to participate in Blogger's Quilt Festival this year! Amy is a genious, by the way! Make sure you check out all the great quilts in the linky party on her site!
I've been meaning to do this all week, but things have been pretty busy around here and I figured I'd just have to let this one slide. But here I am, hours before the deadline, literally grabbing this quilt off of one of my sleeping children to snap another shot of this quilt - it's still warm from that sweet little snoozer!

Fabric: Just Wing It by Momo/ Pattern: Sweet Garden by Emily Cier


This quilt is special to me for lots of reasons: it marks my first quilt made after a long hiatus in sewing to have my babies, it's the first time I used a layer cake, and it's the first quilt I blogged about in my first ever blog post. But it goes without saying that it is most special because my daughter loves it, and uses it every day. This is why I love quilting! Playing with fun fabrics, deciding on patterns/design layout, and in the end, you have something totally useable and practical. Speaking of which...I better get this back on that little snoozer before she wakes up and wonders why it suddenly got a little less warm in her room...

  2. That is adorable you stole her blanket in the middle of the night to share with us! Great quilt!!!! I have never used a layer cake either but this quilt makes me want to go buy one. Really love how bright it is, funny how white makes a quilt pop... Love it!
