Finally I have the time and energy to share a quilt and participate in the Bloggers’ Quilt Festival.
This is my “Robin Quilt” and was made many years ago as part of an on-line round robin. Here is a picture of most of the quilt. It hangs on the wall in my entryway and has a piece of furniture in front of it but I think you get the idea.
I hand appliqued the center “Robin” block and then sent it literally around the world. Here’s a better picture of the center.
A close-up of the first border added.
The second border (done by my sister Melinda).
The third border that was done by the organizer of the round robin.
The forth border was added by a women in Israel.
And the final border was completed back in Florida.
I’m sure by now you’ve noticed the fabulous quilting, it was done by Melinda, a fabulous customer long-arm quilter who just happens to be my very favorite sister. This is no doubt one of my very favorite quilts even though I only made 1/5 of it.
A big thank you to Amy or organizing this.
To see the rest of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival, go to Amy’s blog here.
Enjoy,

ReplyDeleteS-T-U-N-N-I-N-G! quilt, Robin. It's beautiful quilts like yours that make me want to participate in a Round Robin, but the last two I was in were disasters.... I love how you and Melinda finished it! Breathtaking!!

What a wonderful quilt. I enjoyed the close ups as well....
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is precious. Caught my eye because....I'm a Robin. I love the story of how each part was created by others. I was particularly interested in the part made by woman in Israel.
