Bloggers Quilt Festival Fall 2018

Hello and Welcome!

I am happy to be participating in Amy's Creative Side Bloggers Quilt Festival.   Click here to see all the entries and enter a quilt.

Snow Flower and The Secret Fan
This was my first One Block Wonder quilt.  I will definitely make another one because it was so much fun!

Close up of the machine quilting.  I used gold silk #100 thread.
 My sweet chocolate lab, coco, modeling with it.
 I used my fan stencil to quilt fans on the black borders.
 Here it is hanging in the Brownstone Quilt Show Fall 2017.
I am currently working on a mini version using the leftovers.
These little blocks will finish at 2 1/2" across.  Good Girl Coco.
Thank you for visiting my Blog today to see my entry.  Have fun visiting the other bloggers at Amy's Creative Side.

Barb, what a quilter you are! Love your pup; I have a black lab, Murphy, who loves being underfoot in my sewing room.

Good job. I love the fabric.

OBW's are so much fun...a built in mystery! Yours came out great and I love the quilting you chose to do, it shows it off beautifully. And of course, Coco....the perfect model!

CecileD said...

Coco wants to make a OBW too ! Congratulations for your quilt !
I'm curious about the fabric before you have cut in it ! Did you take a picture of the entire piece of fabric please ?
Thank you :)

Sandra said...

This is a wonderful quilt. Love how it was pieced together and then the design you used on the border was a great added touch!

Janet O. said...

It is a beauty, Barb! You combined just the right elements in your fabrics, border, and quilting patterns.
Can't wait to see that mini completed!
Coco's modeling job appears to have exhausted her. :)

Ruth said...

Love it! And of course I love the border quilting. Maybe you should make a vest for Coco with your mini blocks! It would really show off beautifully on her and I'm sure she would love it!!

Wendy Caton Reed said...

Love this quilt and especially the lovely model on top of it! I linked up too. I love seeing all the blogs in one place so I can just click away and see all sorts of fun new quilts. Happy cooler temps!

Wow -- this is gorgeous! What an amazing job of piecing and putting it all together!! :)

I love one-block wonders, and yours is one of my favorites! Simply gorgeous!

Nana said...

This is a beautiful quilt.....inspires me to want to try hexies of some style.

Pamela said...

That's a lovely quilt, I've never made a One Block Wonder. Great job!

Cathy said...

I've never made a One Block Wonder but am always inspired when I see one. I really like the color scheme and the way you arranged the blocks. What a beauty!

I like your little one too but don't think I could even see pieces that small! Looks like fun, though. I like little blocks but I also like big quilts.

Barbara said...

I love this quilt, Barb! So glad I got to see it in person at the Brownstone show :) Coco looks perfectly comfortable right where she is. So cute.

Kyle said...

I love seeing this quilt. And the little one is super cute, so tiny! And, of course, Coco makes the perfect model.

I love this quilt--it's beautiful! I hope to someday make a OBW, just need to find the right fabric!

Such a beautiful quilt and the fan quilting on the borders is just perfect!

Your quilt is lovely! Your layout of the blocks really adds to the overall effect—wonderful movement.
