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!!
