Blogger's Quilt Festival


Welcome to everyone stopping by from Amy's Bloggers Quilt Festival!  For regular readers, this quilt is very familar!  I recently finished this quilt, with the help of many wonderful blocks donated from around the world, to be auctioned off at a fundraiser.

My oldest and best friend was the organizer of the Vive Le Rouge fundraiser and I wanted to do what I could to help her meet her goals.  Well I am so happy to say they did!  Even with terrible weather, the event made their goal.  And the quilt above brought in $500!! 

I received blocks from 8 states and 3 different countries to help pull this quilt together in time.

The quilt is 68 x 90 inches...so a rather good size for a twin bed, or snuggling on the couch. 

Don't forget to click the button below to visit all the quilts entered into the festival!  It is a lot of fun!
And a whole lot of inspiration!!

  3. This came out so beautifully, Jenny, and I'm so happy to hear it brought $500 at auction!

    I don't know if I'll have a quilt in the festival (if so, it'll be later, cuz I'd have to finish something), but at least I can say I had small part in one of the blocks in yours! :)
