Bloggers Quilt Festival

This is my first time entering a quilt into the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I haven't finished many quilts this year but thought I would enter my most recent finish - my granny quilt. I finished it last night!  I even managed to get some photos of it this morning as the sun shone for the first time in weeks.





Here are some of my favourite blocks.

Measurements: 44 x 60
Fabric: Scraps from stash

This quilt has taken some time to finish but I love it and am so pleased it is now done!

Happy weekend

Caroline

    Hi Caroline! Your beautiful colours took my attention in the festival ... and I was curious to see from where 'in cold' you quilt! Jeeee - I was so happy to see that you are in Finland! Your quilt is so beautiful and I love the fabrics you have used! From your name I'm wondering if you are Finnish? I'm a Finnish woman living in Greece and I send you lots of sunny wishes! x Teje

    Great Granny Square quilt! Mine are cut, but I haven't done anything with them. Hopefully this winter. You've inspired me to pull them out soon.
