Quilt Market is underway in Salt Lake City. And since most of us cannot be there to enjoy the fun, Amy of
Amy's Creative Side, has developed Blogger's Quilt Festival. You can see past Markets by clicking on the links
here. And you can join in the fun this time around by submitting your own quilt or by clicking your way through all the entries.
I decided on this quilt for my entry. It was hard to choose. But the color and summery vibe of this Amy Butler quilt won out. I love the vibrancy of this one. One charm pack, one jelly roll and two solids made for a quick throw sized quilt. A no-brainer kind of quilt which was exactly what I needed at the time.
My approach to quilting hardly ever involves patterns. I'm an intuitive quilter. Grab some fabric and play--that's my motto. Even the times I start with a plan, things change along way. (But that's a post I'll get to next week.) It was no different with this quilt. The thing that remains constant is the pleasure of creating.
Grab your favorite beverage and settle in. Then click over to Amy's site and visit all the beautiful entries. There's sure to be something to inspire.
I love this quilt!! it really does capture the feeling of summer days. It's certainly added sunshine to my day! Intuitive quilting creates a quilt from the soul which is always a special thing.

ReplyDeleteI love that Amy Butler's fabric all mashed together looks so beautiful together. Great job!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful. The fresh colours make it such a happy quilt. Definitely a spring/summery quilt.
ReplyDelete"No Brainer" ???
ReplyDeleteCan you explain this phrase to those of us that, when looking at your quilt, can't imagine anything but a massive brain squeeze?
It is gorgeous. Carolina
Brain squeeze! That's a good one. But seriously, having a little bit of everything in this collection makes it easy. You only need to be careful to keep the colors and prints "random". Other than that, you just cut and sew.
ReplyDelete"The thing that remains constant is the pleasure of creating." I like your motto! The vibrant prints work so well together when you added the solid borders. Love it!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with Amy Butler. Your design is great with the fabrics. Love, love the colours.
