Bloggers Quilt Festival

Hello folks, it is time for the fun quilt festival!!!! I want to thank Amy from http://amyscreativeside.com/
For hosting the festival again, and spreading the word for all of us.  This year I am entering 2 large quilts as we can do just that.  This one is my very favorite quilt that I have ever made to this date.


This is called"Remembrance Poppy", which I made for a friend's daughter.
It is made from cotton fabrics and measures 90x100 inches.
I added the extra outside border because the pattern wasn't quite big enough.
This outside border was cut from my ribbon die for the Go Baby from Accuquilt.
I hand quilted this myself as this is what I do with the majority of my time.
You can see the colors , but the gray/green color in the ribbon border and the leaves has a sheen to it, which I just love.

I am entering this quilt in the large quilt category.



These are just a few pictures to show you the hand quilting.


The back of the quilt, which is actually a dark green....poor lighting.
