Once again it is time for the spring Blogger's Quilt Festival, the wonderful online quilt show organized by Amy at Amy's Creative Side.
I haven't finished many quilts since last fall's festival, but I do have one that I am especially proud of. This is my Blazing Hidden Nine-Patch.
The top for this quilt was made for my quilt guild's nine-patch challenge. It wasn't until last year that I was able to get it quilted. I have always thought it looks like the glow of a fire showing through a dark screen, so it was quilted with a flame pattern.
This is my favorite type of quilt to make--a very simple pattern made special by the choice of fabrics. It is one of my all-time favorite quilts, and I hope you like it too. I have entered it in the wall quilt category. You can see all the entries in this category here. Voting for your favorites begins May 24th. For more info about the festival and to see all the categories/entries go here.
