Festival of Scrappiness

Just a quick blog tonight.  I know that I am cutting it close, but I wanted to make sure that I had an entry into the Festival of Scrappiness at Stitched In Color.   My favorite quilts are scrap quilts and I love to see what everyone else has created from scraps.


I knew when the festival was announced, that I wanted to enter my Georgia Quilt's Tulip.  I had thought about entering the Mod Mood quilt, but its very dark tonight and I cant seem to get a good photo.  So, I present my string tulip quilt.  This was my first attempt at hand applique and the quilt is hand quilted.  It is so bright and cheery that every time I see it, I can't believe that I made something so bright.

  3. That is a beautiful quilt! It's great that the reds are different behind the tulips. It gives it that much more dimension and interest. Beautiful hand quilting too!
