Blogger's Quilt Fest Fall 2013 Tale of Two Quilts Part I

Five years ago Amy of Amy's Creative Side came up the idea of the 
Blogger's Quilt Fest to celebrate the creative fun of our online community.
This year I thought I'd enter a quilt or two!
Remember this photo I took of scraps sewn together by color? These sat around for a long time while an idea percolated.
 Finally I figured out what to make.  After cutting out some rectangles then adding two squares to each corner....chain stitching like crazy...finally I had...
 ....my Scrappy Rainbow Flying Geese!  My pal Linda did the awesome quilting, sort of like a breeze!
 Twenty-five geese duos, each duo is 12" square.
 The background is Robert Kaufman Fusion Ombre in Straw.
I wish I had a whole bolt of that stuff!
 Backing is Jane Sassaman Willow Wands from her Garden Divas collection.
I really like this quilt. I see something different in it every day. 
I am submitting this one in the  
ROY G BIV Quilt category!  It makes me happy!

But remember this a tale of two quilts.
Next post will be about Part II!!:)

Now go visit some other online Fest  friends and leave them a comment.
It makes us feel good!:)  
Thanks for visiting and thank you Amy for all the fun!!
