Blogger' Quilt Festival Entry

This is the second time I have submitted an entry at the Blogger's Quilt festival over at Amy's Creative Side. If you are visiting this blog for the first time welcome. This year I am entering an improv quilt that was a recent finish. I just blogged about it in my previous post but here goes for those of you who haven't seen it.

The blocks were made as part of a workshop where we had to pick scraps from a brown bag and had to use every piece of fabric we pulled out. At the end of the exercise I was left with one big block which I cut the block into four blocks in a slightly staggered manner. The strip to the right balances out the quilt top.

The quilting is inspired by Jacquie Gering's recent quilt. I quilted it using a wavy stitch on my Bernina and a walking foot. I love the texture it produces.

This also happens to be my first signed quilt. I added the lettering in the binding itself. I also used lump less binding for this quilt which gives a nice finish to the quilt. I am definitely going to use this technique again.
