Bloggers' Quilt Festival!


Hi there! I'm another late comer to the festival! What a great idea for showcasing all our wonderful creations!!
Here, I am sharing the queen size quilt that I made last year, for my DD2 and her Mr.Rose, for their wedding gift. They wanted a wilderness themed quilt, since they are big into fishing and camping.

I didn't know where to begin, but for buying the appropriate fabrics for such a quilt. How to use them was another question.

Looking through my patterns/books nothing jumped out at me as "Yes! That is the one!" Then I then came upon something in my blog hopping visits, that I thought "something like that would be good", thus I designed this quilt to help showcase the fabrics...
I really enjoyed creating this quilt of love for my darlings, and they absolutely love it!! 8-)

Here are the pillow cases I included in the quilt gift... Tis a joy to see the quilt set on their bed...
With this project, I learned that I do produce well under pressure, and that I enjoyed creating the pattern for it. Now I am creating a "mystery quilt" for my quilt group, and I bought EQ-7 to play with... Fun stuff!

Thank you Amy for leading this Bloggers' Quilt Festival! Pop on over to check out all the lovely creations that were linked in for your viewing pleasure...

Enjoy!
Myra
