Raven's Camera Quilt - A Blogger's Quilt Festival Entry

It's the Blogger's Quilt Festival week! Each quilter can enter two quilts in the festival and it's so fun browsing through all the entries. There are so many talented quilters. I wanted to be a part of all the excitement.

My favorite finish so far this year is Raven's Camera Quilt. Raven is a professional photographer and my niece. Her mom commissioned this quilt to give her for her birthday.

You can see more pictures and read all about the creation of this quilt here.

Please visit the Blogger's Quilt Festival and be inspired by all the wonderful entries. Amy does a fantastic job every year hosting this event.

Blogger's Quilt Festival - An Art Quilt

It is that exciting time of year when the Blogger's Quilt Festival occurs. This will be my first year entering. It will be fun to be a part of the festivities. I decided to enter this tiny quilt in the Art category. It started as an experiment for my October bee blocks but I loved it so much that I turned it into a small quilt of it's own. It is only 12 1/2 inches square finished. I love that there are so many things to see in it, which is why I decided it was a better fit in the art quilt category.

It was originally supposed to look like a flower. Now when I look at it I see a sunrise/sunset over water. My son says it looks like a staircase that descends into a pit of fire. One blog reader said it looks like you are looking down into a valley at the setting sun in the darkening sky. Another said it looked like a tunnel with light at the end. It is so cool that it looks like so many different things. What do you see?

This is where I originally wrote about the creation of this block turned quilt.

Blogger's Quilt Festival - A Mini Quilt

It is that exciting time of year when the Blogger's Quilt Festival occurs. This will be my first year entering. It will be fun to be a part of the festivities. I decided to enter my Shadow Block Mini Quilt in the Mini category. It is just small enough to qualify since the maximum perimeter is 80 inches. This quilt is 17 1/2 inches by 20 inches, so it is 75 inches around.

I've written about this quilt twice before, here when I first finished it, and here when I wrote a tutorial for it. There are lots more pictures in those posts.
