Blogger's Quilt Festival

If you regularly check in here, you have seen this quilt before, but it's my favorite so far and I wanted to have it done for the last Blogger's Quilt Festival, and I didn't. So, bear with yet another presentation of ye olde Partly Sunny Quilt!* If this is your first visit, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you like the quilt!


I made this for the wedding of one of my best friends last July. (Well, the wedding was in July...the quilt was finished in December. Oops. Explains a lot about the snow in the photos though, huh?)


I love this pattern (Chain Linked by Amy Smart) because it's very easy, yet has a great deal of visual impact. It's a fun way to showcase some favorite prints, and I could easily see myself using this pattern again.


Specs:
"Party Sunny" (pattern: Chain Linked by Amy Smart)
Finished size: 61.5" x 82.5"
Quilting: By me! I echoed the white "chains" 1/4" away from the edge.
First blogged here.

Check out the hundreds of other amazing quilts at the festival!

*So, the name is new! I'm trying to name my quilts more creatively than "gray and yellow quilt" or "hourglass quilt." The lame name syndrome needed to end!

    Great colour choices - and the snow showcases the quilt much better than grass and leaves would, so there's your "artist's reason" for intentionally delaying the gift-giving until December. :-)

    Beautiful!
