It's Bloggers' Quilt Festival time again! Unfortunately I don't have a new finish this time around, but I can show you one of my favorite quilts from the last six months.
My Warm Cool HST quilt. I love it, my daughters love it and often request it when they're sitting on the couch, and hopefully you love it too. : )
It's scrappy and colorful and snuggly and a great size for a couch quilt. Many of my all-time favorite prints are in there—some of which I have used up and can't buy anymore.
There are like a gazillion HSTs in this quilt (actually 266 of them). I got really sick of squaring them up, but somehow that didn't translate into me being sick of this quilt.
I like how the back turned out as well. This quilt makes me happy no matter which side is facing up!And a few more reasons to love this quilt: It was my first attempt at spray basting (which I now love), and only my second attempt at FMQ stippling (which I also now love). So in many ways, I feel like this quilt was where I turned a corner and became a "real" quilter.
Thanks for checking out my BQF quilt! Enjoy the festival!Size: 54" x 74"
Design: Warm/Cool Quilt-Along by Jeni at In Color Order (thank you, Jeni!)
Fabric: 219 colorful prints/scraps
Binding: Mini Muu dot by Lecien

Quilting: FMQ stippling

I love the back as much as the front. I know what you mean abut HST...they are a pain to square up but give such a beautiful result and so many options that they are worth it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove this and did when I first saw it - I really want to make one but it is that 'squaring up' that stops me...
ReplyDeleteTerrific quilt! I just love how the bright colors and slightly off center setting really perked up this traditional design.
