Blogger's Quilt Festival Spring 2013

Front of Quilt
I really would love to go to Quilt Market this Spring!  I am always grateful to those who post pictures of this event!  Well, to help those of us who don't have the opportunity to go, Amy @ Amy's Creative Side started the Blogger's Quilt Festival!  It is full of fun and inspiration.  This year I'm entering my 'Sweetest Thing' quilt.    I used Moda's fabic Marmalade by Bonnie and Camille.  The cream is Bella solid cream by Fig Tree.  There is just something so darling about little Dresdens.

For Family and Friends you can vote Here in Baby Quilts!  I'm number 28!  Voting is from May 24th-30th.  If you're reading this before the May 24th, you still have time to enter your quilt too!  There are several different categories!  Check it out!

    Oooh... it's so lovely! Just wonderful fabric and the design is complex enough to hold your attention and just wonderfully balanced. All that time and work - great job! Very pretty quilt. I love it!
