I'm joining the Quilt Festival Fall 2010 over at Amy's Creative Side.I'm entering the quilt I finished last spring, for my niece Aria. It's one of my favorite quilts because it's really my first real quilt I had made. I did a lot of hand stitching on it, so it took a lot of work and I loved how it turned out. I experimented with doing hand stitching, machine stitching, and machine stitching on the binding, which I found to be quite a bit easier. On this quilt I used Moda's Layer Cake fabric Sultry by Basic Grey and I love the colors.
I hand stitched every other square with four hearts.
I hope you win!!!!
