Its that time of year again - time for the Bloggers Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side. (See my other entry).It is fun to revisit quilts finished since the last festival and pick two favorites to share. (To my regular readers, you just saw some photos of this one! Thanks for patiently looking at them again.)
This quilt is called "Oh My Darling" - blocks created as part of Fat Quarter Shop's Clementine QAL. I went with an alternative setting and love the way it turned out.
Leftover blocks were placed on the back. I love the way it looked but this did make the quilting process a bit more challenging!
To quilt, I did straight line quilting with my walking foot on the diagonal, leaving three gaps (roughly 5'' wide) that I filled with one continuous feather. This is probably the third time I've quilted this way. I really like the way it looks and the whole process.
The quilt measures 68 x 68 ''.

See all the beautiful quilts and enter your own at Amy's Creative Side Bloggers Quilt Festival!
I'm also linking up at a new link-up Brag about Your Beauties.
Have a wonderful day! Patty
What a fun quilt, I love the way you set your blocks! I've had terrible issues with quilting when both the top and back are pieced, so don't use my extra blocks on the back anymore. Someday they're all going to end up in an extra-scrappy quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing this one again. You alternate layout is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of fun to get to see special quilts featured again in the festival, and getting to share 2 you made for your daughters feels perfect. I like the extra blocks on the back and I do imagine the quilt is getting a lot of use one way or the other. :)
ReplyDeletePerfect quilt for your college girls!
ReplyDeletepretty quilt and great photos! love that backing
ReplyDeleteSo lovely for your daughter! I love how you pieced the backing, also. I have started to pieced some of my backings and they really add a little something to your handmade quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a Darling quilt! I love the blocks, love the setting!!!!

It's lovely and will be well loved I'm sure. I like quilts be used & it's funny seeing 6ft+ young great nephew show that he still has his baby quilt(giggle). Take care.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I especially love the backing - very clever!
ReplyDeleteIt IS a great setting :) love it...
ReplyDeleteOMD is great! I like the modern setting. And thanks for the closeup of the quilting.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt....know that it is being used. quilting is great1
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Hopefully it's getting lots of cuddle time in it's new home.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt, both front and back!
ReplyDeleteLove the front and back. Couch, floor, it's all good.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things to like about this quilt, Patty -- the palette, the arrangement of blocks, the pieced backing. I'm a die-hard straight-line quilter, and the idea of breaking up the lines with some FMQ as you did is brilliant!
