It’s time again for The Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy’s Creative Side. It’s such a fun thing to get to see what everyone’s been making this year!
My first entry is my By Your Side Quilt. It was my second pattern for Quilt Theory.

I designed this quilt to honor the friendships in our lives and all the ‘links’ that bind those friendships together. You can read more about the inspiration here.
I am absolutely in love with the fabrics in this quilt. I used RJR solids combined with five Cotton + Steel Basics, which are pretty much my favorite thing ever.

I had lots of fun quilting this one with some meandering lines that let the quilt design shine. I have a friend who lovingly calls this ‘drunk quilting’. Whatever you call it, I really dig the texture it creates!

This quilt has found a comfy home on the couch at my new house. I love that it has become a focal point in the room.
Thank you for stopping by! Tomorrow I will share one more quilt for the festival that is completely different than this one, but also holds a very special place in my heart.
Happy Sewing, ~L

I got most of those on the first try, but I did end up taking one apart and cutting a new piece to make it look more aligned. 🙂

This has such a fresh modern feel. I love the way you’ve overlapped the squares and your color choices to get the shadow/transparency effect.
