As I’ve been all over the internet checking out so many fantastic quilts as part of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival, I’m noticing things . . .
Grab yourself one of these . . .
and settle in for some fantastic viewing . . . (I’m not keen to grab photos off other peoples blogs, so just click on the links to see for yourself).
** Warning – viewing these blogs may inspire you to add new projects to your list of things to do! You may find yourself reaching for needle and thread as you read. Don’t say you weren’t warned! **
White backgounds are great – they seem to make for really fresh looking quilts.
Neutrals are everywhere too, and for good reason – they give a very elegant look to a quilt.
A few people seem to have a bit of circle thing going on, like I do.
Quilts with sentimental meaning are beautiful.

There are so, so many people just jumping in and taking on projects out of the comfort zones – and coming out the other end richer for it!
There are some fantastic quilt backs out there as quilters are endeavoring to use up there scraps and trim down their stashes.
Art quilts are beautiful.
Quilters all over the world put pieces of themselves into quilts for others – and it lifts the spirits of everyone . . . giver and receiver.

Oranges are definitely on my list of “I love these”. . .

Funky IS FUN!
There are quilts which you can’t help but admire – even when you know that you don’t have it in yourself to even think about attempting it.
There are all sorts of ways to include your family in your quilts!
You can be VERY creative with selveges.
Pinwheels always look great.
Hope you have as much fun checking out these blogs as I did!

Hi Sue, it looks like you had a good tour of the BQF. Yes they are lot of amazing quilts. I wish I have more time to tour, but it’s okay because they are going to be there forever we can always go back and see them. Thanks for sharing the links. I can see a modern quilt comes your way soon!
Hugs

I was a dark, brooding fellow when young. Played guitar in rock and roll bands. I got laid more by accident then I ever did on purpose, because of that. Didn’t care, either. Way too many too choose from to care. It is weird to me now.My oldest daughter went for the dark, brooding seusmo-tcait kid too. She eventually walked away from it, though.I don’t know what it is. One of the mysteries of life. I did take advantage of it back then, though. When I became a dad, it was a nightmare come back to haunt me.
