Blogger's Quilt Festival

This mini quilt is one that I had no special thoughts or feelings about when I started. I was just playing around with some paper piecing and tried this "lattice" type square with some Amy Butler Lotus scraps I had on hand. I didn't even really like the fabrics all together that much when I started out. In the end, this is hanging in my living room and is probably one of my most complimented pieces of work. I thought it would be a good entry for Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival!

I love how the quilting came out - concentric squares, done with my walking foot. Some squares aren't perfect, but in the end, I like it that way.

It's funny how you can start off with low expectations and end up very pleasantly surprised - I guess the opposite has been true before too!

    I understand. I have low expectations for my project ALL THE TIME. But, when the project is done, I can see the overall wonderfulness and not focus ont he flaws.

    Your quilt is lovely. I am inspired to make a lattice quilt.

    Too true. In my experience, the quilting takes the quilt to another level...and always a better one!
    Well done - a nice job

    What's the over all size and how tight was your quilting? It is amazing! I am not a machine quilter, but with this example, I could be convinced to try it!
    Beautiful!
