| Welcome visitors from the Bloggers Quilt Festival Fall 2012 Thank you, Amy for hosting. This quilt I recently finished is my entry. It was a big project for me. The pattern is called "The Joy of Life" by Rosalie Quinlan. I changed the colors a bit...added in some blue to blend better with my living room colors. The finished size is 60 X 60. |
 |
| I decided to do all the applique with a blanket stitch, except for the stems which are bias tubes, so they were blind stitched down. I would classify this as an Appliqued Quilt. This was machine quilted by Roberta Peterson. |
 |
| This was the first time I had used such a large variety of background fabrics. I do think it adds a lot of interest and movement to it. |
 |
| I was determined to make the entire quilt from fabric I already had on hand and nearly accomplished that. Really, I probably only bought a yard or so to complete it. I do love to have applique when I'm watching TV in the evenings with my husband. Well, thanks for stopping by and please visit again soon.....Derrith |

Love that pattern...geesh, i do not need another project but this is so tempting. I have a hand knotted rug i designed in college that's quite similar. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
