Bloggers Quilt Festival - Quilt Photo

It's that time of year again over at Amy's Creative Side.  It is time for Bloggers Quilt Festival.  This post is for Quilt Photographer.

I have chosen to enter my All Framed Up on the Jersey Shore quilt. (Original post here).  I loved this pattern and how it really lets the fabrics stand out.

I took these photos at a little beach down the road by my house called Butler Beach.  Seemed like the perfect place to show off this quilt that features batik fabrics made to be sold right here on the (real) Jersey Shore.

It is quilted by me on my home machine with wiggly lines and waves.  

And it backed by another batik print that has a sea grass feeling.  

This quilt was given to my Dad as his 69th birthday gift just a few weeks ago.  It was the first quilt of mine that he had seen and reacted to so it was perfect.  And now I can say each person in my immediate family has had a quilt made for them.
