Welcome to the Blogger's Quilt Festival! I always enjoy this on-line quilt show. and give big thanks to Amy at Amy's Creative Side for hosting this.
About 2 weeks ago, I saw that the Blogger's Quilt Festival was quickly approaching......so out it came again. Decision made----I was keeping this one. A perfect small throw size, just for me.
There are six floral fabrics in each block, blended by the value of the fabric in each block---either light to dark or dark to light. I can say that each one is different.....repeated fabrics, yes.....but in different combinations.
What could be better than viewing the last of the garden blooms sitting under a lapful of favorite floral fabrics!
And a wonderful reminder of a perfect fall day.
For the quilting, I used an overall pattern of swirls and a few leaves thrown in. I kept the quilting open and not too dense. A softer effect to blend it all together.
Finished off with a label.
Category is Small Quilt.
Tripping through the Flowers
is 56 " by 56 ".
Machine quilted by me on Tiara.
Time to grab a cup of coffee, settle in under your favorite throw, and view some quilts in the festival.
Here is the link to the main festival page. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the festival!

ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt "Tripping through the Flowers"--my lifetime dream quilt! :) So, I've started making the blocks, and have a question: Did you make equal numbers of blocks with the lightest fabric as the diagonal, and with the darkest as diagonal? I keep getting confused trying to figure it out from the picture. It is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Nancy, you are a no-reply commenter. Please link your email to your profile for quick responses. Or use email link on my side bar. All of the blocks....every one....used a dark as the center diagonal. Some had a dark, medium on either side and then lights for the rest. Other blocks had dark as center diagonal with lights to mediums on both sides. If you see this....please send me a direct email..:)
