Bloggers’ Quilt Festival

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.

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.

  6. Your 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.
