I'm so excited to be participating in the Blogger's Quilt Festival, hosted by Amy's Creative Side. The Blogger's Quilt Festival is an on-line tour of quilters in action. It is open to everyone with a blog and a love of quilting. If you'd like to participate, you can find more information here.
And now, without further ado, my Festival Quilt. Click on the image for a closer look.
Last summer my daughter, who was seven at the time, asked me to make a High School Musical quilt for her. I had her draw up a design of the quilt she wanted and we worked together to pick fabrics and put the quilt together. This is my first time participating in the Blogger's Quilt Festival so I wasn't sure how much to include in my post. I'm going for less is more so I've included links to all of the pictures at the bottom of this post and you can also check out my original post. I'll leave you with my LadyBug and her finished quilt. She picked the checkered fabric for the pillowcase because she said that it would 'coordinate' with the checkerboard in the quilt. Quilter in training? Judge for yourself. She's already picking up the lingo.

How cool is that? Not only a lovely quilt, but the experience of working on with your daughter makes it extra special. And she's right, the checkerboard fabric in her pillowcase coordinates perfectly with her quilt. Awesome work!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's so much fun to make something special for them. It's completely worth the time spent! What a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great time capsule quilt. I hope it has a label with all that information on it.
