Blogger's Quilt Festival

I was so excited to see that it's time for another Blogger's Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side! Last time I was literally the last one to enter (procrastinate much?) but this time there are still a few hours left to enter! haha

I finished this quilt just in time for my friend's wedding in October. One of my favorite parts of quilting is putting together a palette of prints. For this quilt I just wanted to use a pattern that would really feature the fabrics in a simple and classic way.

My friend's house is filled with a lot of earth tones and is very cozy. This is not my normal color scheme but I LOVE how it came out. What I did not love so much? Machine piecing hexagons! It was sooo time consuming, but so worth it in the end.

I also tried pebble quilting for the first time on a large quilt which was also very time consuming, but definitely the right choice for this quilt. This was a labor of love and I hope they love it forever!

Thanks for looking!

    I love the hexies - they really do show off the fabric well. Nice job on the pebbles too!

    Wow - great job! Your friend loves it I am sure. I think these were the fabrics you had brought to the retreat? You bought the backing at Marden's?

    Very beautiful though the color scheme is not my normal, either. There is a way to make hexagons with strips - each "hexagon" is actually two pieces of fabric. I have the pattern in a magazine.
