Blogger's Quilt Festival

Hey everybody!  I'm here today to tell you about my entry in the Mini Quilt Category in the Blogger's Quilt Festival at Amy's Creative Side.

I've decided to go with a small quilt that I recently finished.  It's my Mini Swoon designed by Camille Roskelley from Thimble Blossoms.

I love quilts that use text as a background fabric, but I haven't made many myself.

I thought this pattern with these bold fabrics could look nice with a text background, so I thought I'd give it a try.

The text fabric I used was from Mama Said Sew by Sweetwater and the other fabrics I used were Atomic by Michael Miller.

Part way throughout the process, I started wondering what I was thinking using the text as a background. I wasn't sure that there was enough contrast, but now I'm really pleased with the results!

The straight line quilting that I did was inspired by Debbie from A Quilter's Table.

For a few more pictures and details about this quilt you can read more about it in my recent post, Mini Swoon. 

I had a good time playing with this one and I'm happy to be entering it in The Blogger's Quilt Festival!

Thanks for stopping by!
