Blogger's Quilt Festival


Amy has the Blogger's Quilt festival up again!  It was a toss up on my favorite quilt for the past year, but I think...
My Favorite quilt has to be the TINY DANCER.  These were blocks I made, and also blocks given to me for my New'BEE quilt bee, I  run on my website 15minutesplay.com.
This quilt did not come easy to me. I had several other layouts, and a complete other quilt top which I then hated and cut to "swiss cheese" to save it. You can see the journey here.

Sometimes the struggle is the best part of a quilt.  I love the journey they can take you on and lead you to places you might not have ever gotten to had you sat down and drew it out first. It's an adventure I gladly take. Thanks Amy for another great Blogger's quilt festival!

  8. What a fantastic selection of stars and I know someone who'd love those colourful bold fabrics too - thanks for sharing
    I've got a selection of bee blocks accumulating - then I've got to sort out how to 'show' them - maybe it will be ready for the autumn festival

  9. What I love in all your quilts is how you take crazy colours and shapes together, of which I would say,'that'll never go together' and then it comes out fabulous! it's a real talent and you are very talented!

  15. No one likes to talk much about the struggles, but they can be quiet instructive. I think this quilt is proof that giving up should not be on our list of options.
