Blogger's Quilt Festival

Welcome to my blog! I have chosen the quilt that I made for my niece's wedding to share in the Home Machine Quilted category for the spring Blogger's Quilt Festival. This quilt is a variation on the traditional log cabin block. The blocks create an off-centered star with a diamond shape framing the star.
The fabrics used are 9 by Sanae and Kona natural. The quilt finished 
at 72" by 84".

I quilted this quilt with concentric circles centered around the offset star. I started with a small circle and echoed the circle varying the widths between 1/2" and 1".

This was my first attempt at quilting concentric circles. I really love how the back shows off the quilting.
I'm happy to say that the new couple loved the quilt! 

Now hop over to Amy's Creative Side to find links to many quilts 
from all over the world.  Thanks to Amy and her countless hours of
dedication to put this together and to the many generous sponsors.
