Bloggers Quilt Festival, quilt 2

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Bloggers Quilt Festival!

This is my second entry. You can see the first one here.

This is a 32"x32" wall hanging I made for my Dh for Christmas.

I got some inspiration from Canyon Ridge Creations, then got out my paper and pencil and came up with an expanded design.

I had a lot of fun doing some straight line quilting.

And some fmqing.

I pieced it and quilted it on my vintage Singer 201. I love my Singer!

You can read more about this quilt here.

This is entered in the small quilts catagory.

Thanks again Amy for hosting the Festival!

Hello, hello Everyone!

Thank you so much for stopping by. If you're new here, I hope you like what you see and come back :)

A big thank you to Samm for keeping these great blog hops going. And to Carol, our wonderful cheerleader this go around.

I had this beautiful FQ bundle sitting in my stash, just waiting for the right project to come along.

I thought something radiating...maybe stars of some sort. So I started searching around the web for inspiration and came across this adorable  starburst mini quilt from Canoe Ridge Creations. And thats when inspiration struck!

I wanted to use this star pattern, but expand it and make it like it was radiating outwards. I thought it would be great if I could use my FQ bundle, and have the colors gradient outward also, along with a few other colors.

So I got out my paper and pencils, then went to my EQ program and I came up with this.

By this time it was the middle of December, and I was busy making Christmas gifts. There was no way I was going to get this pretty quilt made.

So I scaled it down and used the colors that I had in my stash, and came up with this little wall hanging. It's 32"x32".

 I knew that my dh would really like it, as he loves the bright lime green and the orange. So I gave it to him for Christmas :)

I had the perfect backing in my stash too.

I used my walking foot to do some straight line quilting on most of the quilt.

But then I put on my darning foot and did a bit of free motion quilting.

My first time doing some stippling.

And yes, I DO plan on making a full sized quilt like the one I drafted sometime this year :) I'll be sure to show it to you when I do.

Thanks again for stopping by! Don't forget to look at all the beautiful blog hop stops. Here are the Ladies who are sharing my day.
