Online Quilt Festival

I had a blast during last year's Quilt Festival hosted by the lovely Amy.

So I'm entering again this year.

I wanted to show a quilt I completed in 2008.
It was my first quilt using lots of scraps from my stash.


I think that's what is so wonderful about patchwork.
You make do with what you have.


This is the pieced back.


And now with my lovely assistant, Ella


Hope you like it. We do!!!

Enjoy visiting all the other quilts in the festival.

Andi :-)

PS Have you enetered my giveaway yet?

    First of all, I featured you on my blog yesterday...hope you don't mind me getting the word out on your blog and giveaway! It's too amazing not to share...and so are your quilts! Even the ones you design and decide to change! This festival's quilt is very feminine and lovely. The embellishment is awfully cute too!
