Amy is hosting an online Quilt Festival over at her blog, and a few hundred folks have already joined in.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to play. I’ve blogged nearly every quilt I’ve ever made, which has all been over the course of the last year or so. Plus, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But I think I’m going to go with the one I made for the unnamed-at-the-time Marcella, my friend Mallory’s baby girl.
I was really happy with the way this one turned out. I loved the zig-zag, I loved the colors. And I am so happy I started over and made this one instead of the original. The first attempt was a total failure. It sort of worked in theory, but ended up being ugly as sin. Not to mention totally against my personal taste, which was only just developing (still is, but there was a steep jump last spring in finding out what I like and don’t like). I’m glad I trusted my gut and made this one, instead.
I loved it so much, I barely wanted to let it go. But I am so happy it is being used and loved by a sweet little baby girl (and I still get to see it, from time to time).
