Bloggers Quilt Festival

I am so excited to be able to participate in my first Bloggers Quilt Festival hosted by Amy's Creative Side.  I am entering Cindy's quilt in to the festival.  This has to be my favorite quilt that I have made so far! (And the biggest!)  I made this for my sister as her birthday / welcome home to NJ gift.

My original post about the finished quilt is here.  



It was actually pretty windy when I was
trying to get pictures that day




My sister sent me this picture after I gave it to her.  I didn't realize exactly how big I made it.  (She had only been there a week when she sent me the pic and I just had to share it... love how it matches the room!).  I am so glad she loves it.

    Your sister is so fortunate to have you for a sister. This quilt is really pretty and looks great on her bed. And the back looks amazing, too.
