It's that time of year again for another Blogger's Quilt Festival. I'm so glad that other bloggers post info before hand, so I remember this time to prep a post!
Here's my entry for this festival:
Spinning Sunflowers
Size: 68" x 82"
Finished Date: Started in Aug 2008, finished Feb 2009
Pattern/Design: Tradewinds by Cozy Quilt Designs, modified
Fabric: 1 Bali Pop - Butterscotch, 9 extra 2.5" strips from my stash to finish the bottom rows of pinwheels. Background, border, and backing are all Hoffman batiks.
Quilted By: Penny Bacastow, Charles Town, WV
The Quilt Story:
I started this quilt to create a sample for Patches Quilting in 2008. I love Bali Pops and after this quilt, I have ended up with 4 more quilts made with them (and I have 2 more in the works). The original design was free with a purchase of Bali Pops and I modified it to have the bottom row be complete pinwheels. I have also taught this class recently as a Friday Pizza Party at Gina's Bernina Sewing Center. We use this quilt often and it's currently on our couch.
