Quilt Festival - Spring 2009

I was excited when I found this post about an online quilt festival. What a fun idea! The difficult thing was choosing my favorite quilt. The sad part was realizing how much I have made, but never took any pictures of. Ugh! Lesson learned!

Well, here is my favorite quilt that I do have a picture of. I made it for my brother-in-law one year. I LOVE the fabric because it is all done in faux suede, and as a result it is super soft! I tied it because I wasn't sure about quilting that type of fabric, and I just love the balance of the weight, combined with the softness.

For this quilt, my husband chose both the pattern and fabrics, which was super-cool!

Don't forget to check out the Quilt Festival!

Wow what a neat quilt. It looks so soft. I also read your info about denim quilts. I've got a couple of boys around here, and jeans can certainly be recycled into a quilt. Thanks for the details on how to cut them.
