Amy is hosting a
blogger quilt festival (thanks Amy!) and I thought I would bring this one out for my entry. This isn’t my favorite quilt in terms of comfy-ness, but I do love it. Something about the crisp white and bright colors. I like to try something new with each quilt I do, and since I am rather inexperienced they don’t come out the way I want them to, but for the most part I figure it out as I go. Just like life. This is my 3rd quilt and my first attempt at free-motion quilting. I LOVE IT! I thought leaves would work best since they themselves aren’t perfect in nature, so it wouldn’t show if I messed up :) Always finding a way to cover your mistakes is what makes you an artist. ha! I still have a lot to figure out with keeping the backing flat and not to have it travel on me. And the most obvious: row line-ups! Haha.
But none the less, my favorite part is the photo shoot afterward (and the sence of completion).
Thanks again for such a great show! Can’t wait to check everyone out and get more inspirations.

Great quilt :)
Beautiful quilt and photography!
Your pinwheel quilt is wonderful. You have done a lovely job on the photography too. I especially like the way you edited the background to be black and white.
Scrappy quilts are my favorite and your pinwheel is just delightful. Your leaf quilting turned out really well. As a free motion newbie myself, I'm always looking at the quilting looking for tips. I'll remember that leaves don't have to be all the same or perfect. :-)
Very beautiful quilt!!!
Happy Festival!!!
This is beautiful! I love the quilting detail. Great job.

I love pinwheels!! Great quilt!
Snazzy pinwheels! I too love all things pinwheels! Fantabulous quilt. Sew On!
Awesome pinwheels! It really is a bright and beautiful quilt. I am a novice quilter and have yet to try free motion quilting...what sewing machine do you use?
If only I had more "free" time for quilting, crafting, baking, sewing, smocking, etc... :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
