I hope everyone enjoyed the slideshow from my quilt group's current exhibit. For those of us who live far away from the big shows, the Bloggers' Quilt Festival organized by Park City Girl is a great alternative! I participated in the first one last April, but soon after, I finished this quilt, which might be my favorite quilt that I've made to date! It's made with Finnish Marimekko fabrics and white Kona cotton. Here's the original post. Don't forget to visit all the other bloggers participating in this great event and enjoy!

I always love quilts with lots of white and I’m a huge lover of Marimekko fabrics, so this quilt speaks to me! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt and the way that the white areas in the fabrics work.
ReplyDeleteClean, bold, and graphic. It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics in this one! What I'd do to get my hands on those fabrics!! (didn't have enough sense when I was traveling for Metso years ago and visited Scandanavia often)
