I love the Blogger's Quilt Festival that Amy @amyscreativeside hosts for us twice a year. It's a great time to find new blogging friends and to find inspiration in all the beautiful quilts being shown.
I am pleased to share with all of you my version of Sandy Klop's pattern Merry-Go-Round. I first saw this quilt at a dear friend's home hanging on her wall and it was love at first sight. She blessed me with the pattern and the ruler to make one for myself.
For my version, I used a mix of Vintage Modern and Bliss by Bonnie and Camille. The quilt finishes at 60 ½" x 61 ½". Though you have to be careful because you are working with bias edges, the quilt goes together surprisingly easily.
I echo quilted inside each hexagon 5 times.
Yes, it seemed to take forever, but I knew it wold be worth it in the end.
And it was worth it...
I like to make the back of my quilts pretty, too...
I hope you enjoyed your stay here at my little corner of the web. Until next time...
Happy Quilting!
