Blogger's Quilt Festival is here!
Welcome to my blog and please make yourself at home and click around! It has been a busy spring for me: a few quilts here and there and excitement in starting up another chapter of the Modern Quilt Guild.
The quilt that I want to share this go-around is my Four Square Quilt. I just finished it a few weeks ago. I used all Simple Abundance fabric from Bonnie and Camille for Moda. I ended up using a charm pack, a few fat quarters and some yardage.
This quilt was fun for me because a branched out into straight line quilting and pieced it as I went without much of a plan. I really enjoy that process of just "playing around" and I am trying to do it more!
I am taking the leap into long arm quilting with a class on Monday so if you want to check back, I'll share my beginner's take on that. Welcome to everyone in town for quilt market!! We love Minneapolis and we hope you do too!
Thanks Amy for hosting this...such an exciting event!

I love the straight line quilting!
Your straight line quilting looks great! I wonder how that would be to do on a long arm? It's quite the project on a regular machine! Beautiful quilt!
STUNNING! It's beautiful!
love the stitching!

I really love the straight lines! I've been having fun trying that out lately and I'm a big fan of it! Beautiful quilt!
I love your quilt and straight line quilting. Oh the fabric, love everything Bonnie ans Camille, your quilt looks great in this line! I have some Simple Abundance I need to do something with soon.
Your project is beautiful, as always, Alyson!
Love those fabrics.
Love your quilt. It's a little bit like Bonnie Hunter's Bricks and Stones pattern, but not as small of pieces--so this would make a great stashbuster and it's simplicity really lets the fabrics sing. Thanks for sharing!
Very beautiful quilt work !
Nicely done. I like your creative way of hanging it for the photos. Did your kids have anything to say about you using the swing set for that unusual purpose?
Cute! Love the fabric and the quilting!
I like the layout and the simple quilting works well with it.
The turquoise is a great "pop" of colour in this simple but beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing it!
I love the little bits of blue that pop out. The quilting is wonderful!
you did an awesome job w/the straightline...I always tend to stipple, but love the look of straightline too!
Brilliant. Great design, yummy fabrics, lovely colors, delightful quilting.

That's a wonderful quilt! And the back is great, too!
I'll be checking back to hear about your longarm class. It's something I'd love to try someday.
I love the pinwheels on the back. Nice touch to a beautiful quilt.
Stunning quilt - I used to tell myself all the time that brown was my least favorite color, and now it's the color I go to most often in quilts. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great quilt!

Great quilt...I like how you quilted it!
I like your quilt. And I agree; this BQF is the best!
I think this quilt is fantastic. Love your fabrics and the design. In one photo the brown floral looks like a brown spot. Either way yellow/chocolate combo is yummy.

Really nice pattern/color scheme. And I agree, love the pinwheels on the back!
I love the colors/design of your quilt. Very nice!
