Bloggers Quilt Festival - Home Machine Quilted

Welcome, if your stopping by for the first time from the Bloggers Quilt Festival. 

This quilt is making its first debut on my blog. 

The fabric is a variety of 30s prints from a few years ago. 

Here is the timeline breakdown;

I purchased, and cut the fabric into 6" squares back in 2009.

I sewed the squares into hourglass blocks the Spring of 2012.

I sewed the rows and columns, basted, quilted and binded this Spring 2013. 

What a WIP! 

The block is your basic hourglass block.
Im entering this quilt under the "Home Machine Quilted Quilts" category.
I quilted this on my Juki TL98 Q

I think the quilting brings the quilt to life, and matches the fabric.

 (does that make sense?) 

I love how the curves make the hourlgass block pop. 

I love how simple and easy this quilting pattern is. 

I also love the overall delicate flower pattern that appears on the back. 

Here's a upclose picture of the quilting

I continued the pattern onto the white sashing and border. 

Here's a picture of the overall flower pattern that is easier to see on the back of the quilt. 

Simply beautiful. 

Here are some more up close pictures of the quilting.

I was inspired by 'RedPepperQuilt; hourglass quilt'

(soo wish I had hers. Its perfect in everyway!)

and my quilting inspiration came from 'thegirlwhoquilts' ; tutorial here.

I fell in love with her "orange peel" quilting look, and had to try it. (so glad I did!)
