Bloggers Quilt Festival

This is the first time I've entered a quilt in the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I've chosen this wool felt quilt because it is very different from my usual quilts.

I started it about 10 years ago, after I'd seen a sample on display at The Quilters Barn, in the Victorian country town of Loch.  I made a couple of blocks, then got caught up with other things, so it was packed away in a cupboard and I forgot all about it.

I decided this had to be the year when I finished some of the multitude of UFO's I have stored all over the place in my little home.  So I looked in cupboards and under beds, I searched in drawers and on top of bookcases, I explored boxes and tins and even checked the shed.  It was amazing what I found, including this unfinished quilt.

So I finished it, I took it to Leanne Kaufman who quilted it beautifully and here it is.
I loved working with the wool felt so much I've decided to design a new quilt and offer it as a free BOM project on my blog next year.  The first block will be posted on my birthday, February 3rd, 2011.

Thank you so much to Amy at Amy's Creative Side for organising this fabulous event, I'm really looking forward to checking out every single quilt, which should keep me out of mischief for a very long time.
