Blogger’s Quilt Festival II
Today is the start of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. Amy of Park City Girl started it last spring to coincide with the Chicago Quilt Market and Festival event. This one coincides with the Houston Quilt Market and Festival.
Blogger’s participating are sharing the story of one of their favorite quilts. Last time I shared this one. Here’s the one I’d like to show you this time.
It’s a mini quilt that I made using one of the foundation paper piecing blocks that Carol Doak designs especially for the members of her yahoogroup, the CarolDoakQuiltingGroup. The quilt is 12 x 12 and it’s my own design. A couple of years ago, Carol was writing an article for Quilter’s Newsletter and mentioned that the magazine was looking for photos of quilts made using her block designs. Carol collected and sent to QNM the photos that some of us sent her and they chose mine as one of the quilts for the article. The quilt is called “Compass Celebration” and the article is in the September/October 2008 issue of Quilter’s Newsletter.
Thanks for coming and enjoy!

The little quilt is lovely, and the design so strong and graphic. I can't even imagine how small the pieces are.
ReplyDeletewonderful piecing, you must be very patient!
ReplyDeleteI love how it looks 3-D - it's gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see a quilt that makes a bold statement. Until you said it was 12x12, I assumed it was a large quilt, so it is really amazing with those tiny pieces!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, those pieces must be small! I like the contrast of the colors.
ReplyDeleteHappy quilting, Rhondi
What a great quilt - such tiny pieces!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I was able to meet Carol Doak this past year and took one of her workshops...she's a great teacher!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt and congrats on being published, a little belatedly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strong graphic statement! Even more powerful when you realize that the entire quilt is only 12x12! Fantastic job. Cheers!
