Blogger's Quilt Festival


It is that time again when Amy from Amy's Creative Side is hosting the Bloggers' Quilt Festival


Twice a year, Amy gives quilters a chance to 'show off' a quilt that they made. Today is the start of the Fall 2012 Quilt Festival!
If your visiting for the first time, welcome! I hope you take some time and browse around my blog and come back again!
For my regular readers, I sew appreciate your words of encouragement. Thanks!
For this festival, I'm sharing my Loving Hugs Baby Quilt that I recently finished. This quilt was featured in the Dots on Dots blog hop on September 19th. The pattern is from Geta's Quilting Studio. 


Keeping with the dots theme I searched my stash and settled on the multi-colored dot fabric as my main fabric and then built the blocks with coordinating dotted fabrics. This unique pattern was a lot of fun to make!

The blocks are 12" finished and the quilt finished at 38" x 50". 


The back is a sweet print with elephants in all the coordinating colors I found in  my stash. 

I FMQ in all the negative space and outlined each octagon. This baby quilt will be a gift for a special baby.

Be sure to visit all the beautiful entries in the Blogger's Quilt Fest! Much inspiration will be found here!
