This was my first quilt made by me from an online quilting bee. But I can't really say it was made by me since I had 11 other awesome folks help bring the picture in my head to reality. And really, I think that the reality is better than the picture in my head. Lovely Amy, organizer of Bloggers' Quilt Festival, did the block in the middle of the bottom row. Of course, she did something fantastic and unique!
This is the first quilt I have ever quilted on my own little machine. It was not easy. In fact, I kind of loathed it by the time I was done. It was just so hard maneuvering all that fabric through a tiny throat space. It doesn't help that I've been spoiled and used my my mom's long-arm. (Well, it was only once. And about 10 years ago. But I LOVED it.)
I liked doing loop-de-loops (I think it hides more mistakes).
I love this IKEA fabric on the back. I'm going there this week and stocking up.
I know there are so many other quilts to go check out! Enjoy! If you are interested in seeing more photos and read about all the lessons I learned making this quilt, you can go HERE.
