Blogger's Quilt Festival - Professionally Quilted

It's time for the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side.  This is a twice a year online quilt festival {a delicious feast-for-the-eyes}and coincides with the Spring and Fall Quilt Markets.  It is a great chance to see some amazing quilts all in one place.  So. Much. Inspiration.


I have only entered once before so I thought it was time to enter again!  Why not right?  I am entering my "King Kong Wonky" quilt.  This is a super-huge bed quilt that was started at a wonky log cabin class with Quilt Dad!   



Debbie Holland quilted my quilt for me.  There was just no way that I could fit this humongous quilt on Mr Toyota (my ancient sewing machine).  This is my first and only quilt quilted by someone else so I asked for a simple square grid design, on point.  I figured the wonky log cabins would still be the focus of the quilt.  The grid is about 3".

You can really see the grid on the back - before washing!

Here is an indoor picture showing a little more realistic purple colour!

    Beautiful! This may sound weird but it reminds me of that gorgeous soft-leaf lettuce with the purple ends... Great fabric choices - it feels very fresh but still warm!

    The colours in this quilt are so lovely. I am not a purple person and it makes me want a purple quilt. I love it.

    What a fun wonky log cabin quilt ... the diagonal grid quilting keeps it modern and fresh.
