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.

    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 :)

  5. 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. :)

  6. 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!!

  13. 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.
