The Blogger's Quilt Festival is kicking off today at
Amy's Creative Side. This is my 3rd time participating, and it's always so much fun to see so many wonderful quilts in one place. I chose one of my recent finishes - It's my Diamond Chains Quilt from a
Quilt Along that we just barely completed 2 weeks ago. (The weather is still rainy and dreary, so I'm afraid I only have indoor pictures for you).

Here's an up close look at the Swan Star (prior to piecing the front together):
And.....I got goodies from Melinda this week for participating in the Quilt Along. Who doesn't love getting fabric in the mail?!....I mean, seriously - I confess though that the adorable little bag it came in was my favorite part. Thanks, Melinda!!

Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! I love purple! Love the cute bag too, and who doesn't love fabric?!?
ReplyDeleteLovely purple shades in your quilt and that centre is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! This is gorgeous. I love (LOVE!) purple. And even though I can barely call myself a quilter, I adore star blocks. This is really wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by to say "hi."
Lovely! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting star and a lovely border. Your quilt looks great.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt. That center star is impressive! Thanks for sharing and have a great day
ReplyDeleteThis takes me back! Such an uncommon star! I used one in the center of my first baby's quilt, 15 yrs ago! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteNice job on your star shaped quilt along. You did very well to get it finished. I like the extra pieced you did for the back too.
ReplyDeleteLove the swan star block. Great job on a really pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove that swan star, beautiful quilt - I like how it moves. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty. Great color choices and piecing.
ReplyDeleteStupenda!
ReplyDeleteCiao
I like the feeling of motion in that star. I might have to try it some time down the road.
ReplyDeleteI love the swan star block - I have to admit I haven't ever attempted anything like that. The quilt turned out just beautifully :) I was happy to see your recommendations in the most recent posts about Halloween and fall books. I read every nightto my 4-year old grand-daughter, so I'm always looking for recommendations.
ReplyDeleteJust love your quilt ! Great Job !
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I love, love pieced backings! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteQuilting is very nice work:)
ReplyDeleteGreat job - can't go wrong with purple! I love quilt alongs they certainly make the time go by fast and keep you motivated when it comes to the "un fun" part of quilting (i.e. cutting/binding) =)
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
It's a great purple story. Love the swans!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I like the final border, it's a wonderful frame for the center block.
ReplyDeleteI like your quilt, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting quilt. I don't think I have ever seen this block before! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the swan star block! I've pinned it to my quilt blocks board in pinterest, along with your blue/yellow/green block!
ReplyDeleteYou seem like you have so much fun with your family! Congrats! And I see you are a Red Sox fan! Go Sox!
Thanks for your kind words on my kimono quilt!
Your quilt is really cool! That swan star is wonderful! Thanks for sharing
