Yay the Blogger quilt festival is back!! Go over and check it out! Here is my entry.
This is a quilt that I finished in January. I am really happy with this baby. I get warm fuzzy feeling when I look at it. Adding lots of white to my quilts has been a new trend for me, and I really think it is what makes me LOVE this quilt.
I used this filmstrip tutorial by crazymomquilts. It was a fun simple project. I had these fabrics from a splurge several months before. I believe they are Windham Fabrics, American Retro c. 1945. I quilted It 1/4 inch on each side of each seam, with my walking foot of course, which honestly is my favorite way to quilt.
I named this one, 40's Fruity Filmstrip. It lives in our living room :)
Lovely quilt! What type of white fabric do you use on your quilt? Love the backing. Thanks for sharing your quilt!
