Blogger's Quilt Festival - spring 2015: Blue dream

Every spring and autumn there is a Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side. It's a fun festival where we can take part, or just get inspiration from other fantastic quilters. So take a cup of coffee, and sit down to look at all the wonderful quilts from around the world. And you can come back for the voting on your favorites in a couple of days.

I'd like to show you the quilt I made for a young man in my family. I always make a quilt for the young ones when they get 18. Just now I've made a total of 13 quilts to give away. This quilt is made with HST's, and I sew them on paper so that they all are the same size.

Originally this quilt was a challenge from Pat Sloan about a year ago. I need challenges like that to get started. You can read more about it on the blogpost I made when it was finished. I live by the sea, and was able to take some nice photoes of my quilt although it was blowing hard that day.
