::Bloggers’ Quilt Festival 2011::

May 16, 2011 By Katie

Yeah, it’s that time of year again.  I enjoy looking through all the quilt inspiration that the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival offers.

My quilt idea all started with this fabric.

First, the idea became a pillow when the Hope Valley line came out.  I used Joelle Hoverson’s technique for her Little Bits quilt.  I designed it by stacking the blocks and liked the effect so much that I started a quilt.  It got pushed aside with the book quilts taking front stage.

My favorite quilts of the year are in the book, or not yet finished, but Split Decision is up there.

As I spread it out fresh from the dryer, I was in love.  It went straight to the shop for a class sample, but I’ll look forward to the day when I can lounge under it.

Especially because of its buttery flannel back.

I framed it out with the pink for binding.

I think the loops make it fun.

I’m hoping next year with the book likely being on the shelves to have a real reason to go to market.

    is there any chance you can sell the pattern to those of us not in the seattle area that would like to make this quilt?
    thank you.

      Joelle Hoverson’s book Last Minute Patchwork and gifts has the basic technique under the Little Bits Quilt. Just keep making and stacking the bits. I don’t feel it’s far enough from the original design for me to sell it. Let me know if you have further questions though.

    Great quilt and love the pillow. Fun quilting. I’m in central WA but have kiddos on the west side. Modern quilting seems perfect for Seattle! I like both modern and traditional…love all fiber arts actually. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
