As my submission, I've chosen the O'Cherries quilt I made earlier this year. The pattern came from Moda Bake Shop, but I made a few adjustments. I started off with a honey bun of beautiful Oh Cherry Oh fabric:
And turned those strips into Irish Chain squares:
Which then became a quilt top:
Then the hard part...to pick a quilting pattern. I chose feather wreaths for the white block centres:
Along with some straight-line quilting on the diagonal and feather garlands for the borders:
It wasn't nearly as difficult as I expected and soon I had a finished quilt:
I try to use up my scraps in the backs of my quilts. I love a good scrappy, pieced backing!
I made O'Cherries to match the Postage Stamp quilt that was made with an Oh Cherry Oh jelly roll. I also made a pillow with the scraps from that quilt. They all decorate my cute little guest room under the eaves.
Thanks for visiting!
I hope you go over to Amy's Creative Side to see some more quilts in the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.
