One of my favorite things, and it falls on a friday (Yeah!) is the Bloggers' Quilt Festival. Talk about eye candy!! I have found some of my favorite blogs while viewing all who post on it. And she has wonderful giveaways! It's like attending a virtual quilt show. My coverlet is my entry for this year. This quilt started as a cotton curtain I bought at a yard sale - and it's the back of the quilt. I loved the design I didn't want to cut it up. So decided to make a medallion quilt for the front. And it just built from their. I have that one 18" dresden plate for the center and as I went along I decided what each row would be next. This turned out to be a quilt as you go with the curtain as the solid back and I added things to it by the sew and flip method. It's a summer cover for my bed so it has no batting. The nine patches were from a guild swap we did for a whole year. It makes a colorful spot in my bedroom.
