It’s time once again for…the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! I’m really happy to have something to show. My quilt guild buddies know I struggle with time to sew these days. In fact, it’s been months since I’ve had a completed project to show at a meeting. So, I took advantage of being home one weekend (miserable with allergies) and focused all my energy on this quilt.
I bought the fabric with a completely different quilt in mind that just didn’t feel “right” once I got home. My good friend, Amanda at The Cozy Pumpkin, had this link on Facebook and the idea went from there.
I drafted a mock up of how I wanted the quilt, color coded my fabrics and started sewing.
When going through my blog reader a couple days later, I saw this post on V & Co. Apparently, great minds think alike.
I simply cut 5.5″ x 5.5″ squares and randomly placed a star in white. For my star, I used the February Block-of-the-Month pattern on the OKC Modern Quilt Guild site. I made my points even, rather than wonky and quilted it with a random meandering pattern to enhance that crinkly look I love so much.

I love how this quilt turned out and the new mommy did too! Congratulations Kristi!
That's the best result of allergies I've ever seen. 🙂 It's lovely, Leslie! Hope you're feeling better.
Love the colors in your quilt.

I’ve had the V & Co quilt saved on Pinterest for a while and just stumbled across yours…I think it’s a message from the universe!! I love the bright colors you used 😀
Do you sell your quilts
Not anymore. I went back to work and just don’t have the time.
