Megan's Quilt Finish

Hi to everyone new who may be visiting our blog...welcome and take a look around! :) Friday is a few short hours away and it's the start of Blogger's Quilt Festival from Amy's Creative Side. My sister Heather and I have been anxiously awaiting this event for a while and we hope you like our quilts!

A while back I purchased some of Joel Dewberry's fabric line Deer Valley. I wanted to re-do my bedroom in aqua's and gray's with a little bit of orange in there. It took me a long time to decide what kind of quilt I wanted for the end of my bed...so I used some traditional piecing and a modern layout, and I present my quilt
And my pieced back (I just can't resist piecing the backs these days!)
Scrappy binding just fit perfect with this quilt and all the colors.

A closer look at the blocks.

Well I had a list of things I still had left to do.
Among them, a cute pieced blanket for the end of my bed :)
And I've decided to sell this quilt pattern!

For the next week starting NOW thru Thursday November 4th Heather and I are putting all of our patterns on SALE.
That's right.
click on the image to head straight to our shop!
You don't have to read that twice, buy one get one FREE.
Okay you can read it again, it's a cute image afterall.
So please head on over to our Etsy shop and take a look around.
While you're at it, you can pre-order Gaggle of Geese!
Just sayin'.

Don't forget to see my sister Heather's quilt finish!

This is a really beautiful quilt - I love the simple but striking pattern, the bright colours against the white and also the beautiful photos you took - don't good photos make such a difference!

I adore Deer Valley and really adore your quilt! I just made a bed runner using a Deer Valley FQ bundle for my master bedroom. So, if you get tired of the quilt, I'll take it! LOL!

I need to get practicing on my flying geese. I love the many design options of that block.

What a great choice to highlight!

Angie Padilla said...

In addition to loving the fabrics, I have to tell you I also think you do a wonderful job with your photos. I especially like the last one. The angle at which it was taken is really effective.

I do love a scrappy binding. Oh so many Geese. Flying Geese are no my friend. I made some once following Eleanor Burns Quilt in a day program and when she said to cut them at 1"x3" I listen. Man that was not a good day some 100+ geese 1/2" to small on all sides! Yes I cut them down and reworked the pattern smaller... Eventually!

Lindsay @ Me Quilting said...
