BLOGGERS QUILT FESTIVAL - SPRING 2011

hi friends,

I am really happy to participate to the Spring Bloggers Quilt Festival, organized by Amy's Creative Side!

I sewed this quilt about three years ago. It is a One Block Wonder. For a long time I admired them and always thought that they were very difficult to do.

Finally I ordered the book and discovered that they are not difficult at all! At that time a friend of mine had lost her husband and she was quite depressive, so I asked her if she wanted to join me and work together. Each of us did one One Block Wonder Quilt and since then we meet once a week to work together.

It was fun to work on this quilt. I loved to compose my own desing with the different hexagons. I handquilted it. It hangs on my bedroom and I like to look at it before I sleep.

Thank you for visiting my blog and happy quilting to all of you!

Hugs. Pink

ONE BLOCK WONDER

Hi everybody!

Today I would like to share my one block wonder quilt. They are very fun to make and you never know what is coming out. This special one is made out of 41/2" triangles, sewn toghether in hexagons. I used about 100 hexagons. I hand quilted it.

I used the fantastic book ONE BLOCK WONDERS - ONE FABRIC - ONE SHAPE - ONE-OF-A-KIND QUILTS by MAXINE ROSENTHAL.
