Bloggers' Quilt Festival :: Spring 2011


 You know when you see a quilt (on a blog, in a magazine, ect.) and an excitement comes over you because you know you have to make it?  Well, that is what happened to me when Kris (aka Dandelion Quilts) posted her State Fair Schnibble...way back.  I was inspired.  I fell in love with the pattern.  Back in August 2010, I finished the State Fair top in Bliss.  And I'm happy to tell everyone that it was last month that I completed it but didn't say a word because I wanted to share it for the festival.  My dh was amazed at how I kept my mouth zipped...lol!  It's a fun pattern.  The fabric, Bliss, was the perfect fit.  I can't wait to make another one...maybe in Punctuation?

Like everyone else, I've been waiting for the festival to begin...it's going to be a fun weekend of amazing eye candy in blog land.  Thanks go to Amy for throwing such a fun, festive event.  You can find more amazing quilts here.
