Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2017

This year's Blogger's Quilt Festival by Amy is here, with so much fun. This is a festival where we can link up our favorite quilts and get so many new ideas from looking at what other quilters linked up. And there are prizes to win. So if you have a nice quilt to link up, you have to do it this week. Or you can just sit down and enjoy all those beautiful quilts by clicking the link.

My first entry is a quilt I made for my son some years ago. And it is still one of my favorite quilts, with the dramatic black and red colors. I borrowed the quilt and took it out for a photoshoot today. And luckily the weather was perfect for that.

Pattern: HSTs in 2 different sizes
Fabrics: Different black and red cotton fabrics
Finished quilt: 64"x82"
Quilted by: me

Blogger's Quilt Festival - spring 2015: Butterflies

My second entry for the Blogger's Quilt Festival from Amy is this butterfly quilt. It was made before I had a blog, so I don't think you've seen it before. I took part in an exhibition in France, and the fabrics in the middle were given. Those colours were not "mine", so I had to find some other fabrics and some butteflies to brighten up this little quilt.

Please visit the festival to look at all the fantastic quilts. You'll find inspiration and joy for the next days and weeks.

Pattern: Log cabin, my own way
Fabrics: Japanese fabrics and cotton
Finished quilt: 19" x 16"
Quilted by: me
Category: mini

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.

Pattern: HST's, inspired by Pat Sloan
Fabrics: All my blue scraps and two different whitecottons
Finished quilt: 62" x 82"
Quilted by: Sølvis Quiltestudio
Category: Large quilts

Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2014

I had to join in at Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival this autumn too. This is so fun, and gives me lots of inspiration.

The quilt I'd like to show you was a challenge at Allison Lane Quilts more than a year ago. We used all our rainbow colour scraps. I quilted it myself on my little sewing mashine, and was happy with the result. Enjoy all the pretty quilts linked in this festival, and please come back after 1st November to vote on your favorites.

Pattern: Traditional log cabin
Fabrics: Scraps
Finished quilt: 40"x56"

Blogger's Quilt Festival -Spring 2014

I take part in Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival, and I like to show you this wall hanging I made for my secret partner in a swap last year. The design is my own, and I actually saw the design in a dream one night. The size is 11" x 11 1/2". I love to use selvedges, and I also like to put in other small details to experience when you study it closer. Hope you enjoy it.

Here are some close-ups of the details. If you like to see more, just go to the original blog post.

Blogger's Quilt Festival 2 - Fall 2013

This is my second entry for Blogger's Quilt Festival by Amy. That's an exhibition you take right to your sofa, just for free. So sit down and enjoy.

This quilt I made some months ago as a challenge from Jennifer at Ellison Lane. You may see the original post here. As I have many scraps in bright colours, and love log cabin, I loved to make this quilt. But my scrap bin was the same after this quilt. Think I have to do a really big one to empty it.

Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2013

Twice a year Amy is hosting a blogger's quilt festival on her blog. I've seen many beautiful quilts there the last festivals. This year I'm participating there myself for the first time. And I tell you, this is exciting. Visit Amy yourself, and get tons of inspiration from quilters all over the world.

This quilt is my all time favorite, and I'd like to share it with you all. I was inspired by a quilt I saw in an exhibition some years ago. I've done hexagons for many years, but this was different, with both hexies and half hexies. And the half hexies are puzzeled in a way that it seems like triangles. You have to study it yourself to understand. So here it is.

Details:
Finished quilt measures: 59"x 81"
Special techniques: English Paper Piecing, hexagons and half hexagons
Quilting: Hand quilted my me
Category: Favorite hand quilted quilt

 Thanks again to Amy for this festival.  And thanks for visiting my blog.
