I am just amazed at the fantastic idea of a Bloggers Quilt Festival, and thanks to Amy at Amy's Creative Side everyone can take part:)
I want to share my 'Hippy Quilt' which I made in 2009, as part of a Patchwork and Quilting course I was doing at the time.
I had thought of making a quilt from old denims, but thought it would be too heavy. So I decide to use really bright fabrics and appliqued on some denim symbols that I associate with the 1960s:)
There are a wide variety of fabrics in this quilt even some I hand dyed in class. So this quilt always brings back memories of the course and new people I met:)Thanks for taking a look!
That quilt is just beautiful! LOVE the colors and the denim symbols... gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, colorful quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful, I love the rainbow and all the different shades in it - Are your half circle borders only attached at the inside? It looks like they are blowing in the wind on the left hand side... pretty appropriate when you consider the hippy theme :)
ReplyDeleteLove the rainbow effect in your quilt and the curves to the log cabins.
ReplyDeleteYes Sara, the half circle borders are only attached on the straight side, blowing in the wind - love it!!:D
ReplyDeleteGreat Hippi Quilt! Very fun colors and contrast.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cheerful happy quilt! Love it - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual log cabin, love the strippy color placement and then the appliques. Very cheery.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
