My Favorite Quilt



Amy@ParkCityGirl organized Bloggers' Quilt Festival as an excuse for bloggers to show off their favorite quilts (like we need an excuse, ha ha!). Here's mine: Queen Anne's Lace.


I made this quilt in 2005 using mostly pink-flowers-on-white fabrics from Moda's Paris Flea Market line, with a little pink and green tossed in. The block is half log cabin, set on point. I fell in love with that Paris Flea Market line as soon as I saw it in my LQS. I bought a yard of each of my favorite prints then admired it and fondled it at home until I came up with a scheme for using it. I mixed in a few extras then bought additional yardage for the setting triangles and borders. I still have some leftovers so they may make an appearance in a new project eventually.

Here's a close-up.




Queen Anne's Lace was machine quilted with a lacy feather pantograph by Karen of Poppy Court Machine Quilting and lives on our bed during the summer months.

Go visit Amy; she's got links to over 300 bloggers showing their favorite quilts! I'm getting lots of ideas.
