Thank you to the ingenious Amy of AmysCreativeSide for organizing the Blogger's Quilt Festival for those of us who cannot attend the Quilt Markets. A great place to view inspiration around the world right in our own home. Please be sure to check out the sponsors, rules, and entries.
This is my entry for the Scrappy Quilt. I used the Roman Square block - Kona black for half and mixed scraps the other half. The blocks were then set in a star pattern.
I quilted irregular lines with my home machne using using Connecting Threads Pro line for top thread in several colors: Plum, Lime, Robin Blue, and Grass Green. Plum thread was use consistantly for the bottom.
The backing is an RJR fabric called 'Witchy Poo' and an orphan block was used for the label. Binding is 'Basically Beautiful' by Maywood Studio - black with red and green small dot. Batting used was Hobb's Heirloom 80/20.
