Okay so Amy over at Park City Girl is having a Fall Quilt Festival, so I thought I would join in with my round 2 quilt from the awesome Old Red Barn Co. Quilt Along, we all decided to keep the fun going after round one and start round two with a zigzag quilt. I starting with several fabrics that I had laying around and order a couple online.
I decided to make it a little bigger than a baby quilt size for one of my best friends who is expecting her second little girl in 6 weeks. YAY! So now that the shower is over and she loves it, I can post it here.
I am really loving the zigzag quilt style, it is so fresh and modern with white stripes in between the patterned ones. I am going to have to make more of this style.
And since I wanted to do a simple back, I decided on mostly white with a small strip to anchor my handstitched trees. I love the look of this. I will be doing this a lot more on Quilts. I do believe that Round three of the Quilt Along is just wrapping up (wonky log cabin style) I wasn't able to join in, but I definitely have been visting frequently as there are loads of beautiful quilts being made. I am pretty sure Round four is looking to start soon too, so check it out and join the fun. I may be able to hop back in this round.
So check out the Fall Quilt Festival, it's amazing! Last I checked there where 400+ quilts linked to the Festival and growing everyday. it's a great way to connect with people and new blogger/crafters. I love this community!
