Blogger Quilt Festival

Yay! Today starts the Blogger Quilt Festival, hosted by Amy's Creative Side.





I've had a hard time deciding which quilt to show-- and much time wishing I was working on another quilt project! I have missed it. . .




This little quilt was a baby gift for my cousin's baby. It was a fun quilt to put together. And I learned the benefits of adding a little bit of white fabric-- it can make a quilt pop!



And since I have tons of scraps from this quilt, let's do a giveaway, shall we?

To recieve a LARGE number of scraps from Keri Beyer's Rocket Scientist line, leave me one comment on this post with a way to contact you, should you win.



. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Also, don't forget to visit here to see the current quilts on 'So You Think You Can Quilt.'
Voting continues for another day!

  78. Those little strips of white make the quilt sparkle. I always like baby quilts that are not as much baby as works of art for those new baby brain cells!

  80. Love the quilt and love the fabrics! My oldest loves all things space, so I would love to use those scraps in a quilt for him!

    ReplyDelete
  81. this is amazing...i love the variety and the pop of the white makes all the difference.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Wow! You are so right. That white makes such a difference. It seems that so many quilts that are binding to binding busy fabrics just melt together. The white gives the prints definition.
