Here is my quilt for the Blogger's Quilt Festival. I call it Summer's Day. I made it for a family member, who had a baby last year. I had gotten a charm pack of Summer Fun for my 9 patch quilt along, and I decided to use it for this. The mom, at one time had been a professional water skier, so Summer Fun seemed like a good choice. I looked for charm pack patterns because I only had the one charm pack. I found the Pinwheel Baby Quilt and decided to make that, which I know this quilt does not look like. Some of the charm pack had white squares, and I did not think it would go well, against my busy white background. I did not want to buy more fabric, so I decided to change the design and added the sashing instead. I love the pop of white and red.
I did end up buying material for the back. I had gone away for a weekend with my husband and I find this cute fabric that I could not resist. It has sun, birds and watermelons on it, perfect for a Summer's Day. I had it quilted by my friend Tammy. I really enjoyed making this because I had made so many quilt with squares and rectangles and I had decided I really wanted to focus on some quilts with half square triangles. It is another quilt that I don't want to give away! Go check out the other amazing quilters at the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
