So Amy's awesome idea is for quilters to share one of our favorite quilts, give the story behind it then link back to her blog. In this way, everyone can view quilts from all over the world from the comfort of their own homes and to read the stories behind them. I'm game!!
So, my favorite quilt... that's a hard thing to choose! I guess it would have to be my poppy quilt that is on my blog title banner.
I don't consider myself an art quilter by any means, but I did really love making that. It is not from a bought pattern per se. I saw an awesome poppy quilt online and I used that as my inspiration and drew the flowers and leaves free-hand on the paper side of fusible web and used only stash fabrics and scraps from other quilts to complete the project.
I had a blast thread painting on it. It is my dear husband's favorite, too. It hangs on the wall in our family room.
Make sure you click on the Bloggers Quilt Festival icon/link on my sidebar and go look at some other quilter's favorite quilts, too! Please DO leave me a comment and tell me your story of your favorite quilt!
