It that time of year again when Amy from Amy's Creative Side organised the Bloggers Quilt Festival
I've decided my first entry is my Floating Hearts Baby Quilt.
This is my own design and I kept it simple with large areas for quilting. I used Bondaweb to applique the hearts and I free motion quilted it on my domestic machine. The feathers are all freehand, unmarked.
I used one layer of a thick 6oz polyester wadding/batting and this really made the hearts stand out once I'd 'flattened' the background with some stippling.
I decided to round off the corners and finished it with some pink binding.
I am, entering this quilt into the Small Quilts category.
I'd like to finish this post by thanking Amy for organising the festival and to all the sponsors generously providing all the prizes. Voting begins on 24th May.
Let the fun begin!!

Having just attended a class last week on Trapunto quilting last week, yours could be a stellar example of what to do and what works. Wonderful!
Gorgeous quilt and fabulous quilting!!
still as beautiful as the first time I saw it!
Wow! Amazing quilting! Thanks for entering it.
Stunning quilting added to such a sweet design. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your quilt's story.
This is exquisite..the quilting is amazing! :) I am a hand-quilter but sometimes I see machine quilting that is so much like the old antique quilts with every inch covered in stitches that it amazes me, and yours most certainly does! Plus the design is just as pretty and sweet as can be! :)
You always leave me speechless with your quilting....
I have always enjoyed your quilting and this little beauty is no exception. Your talents are truly showcased in this sweet quilt! :)

A very, very beautiful and special quilt! Your stitching is masterful and really elevates the quilt to heirloom.

Adorable quilt with beautiful quilting and trapunto!
love the pop out hearts and the rounded corners! Beautiful!
Such a beautiful quilt! And your quilting is simply stunning!
Amazing! Stunning quilting. I will vote for you. Very inspirational.
such a wonderful quilt! I actually thought it was trapunto until I read you'd just used a very puffy wadding.
Such wonderful quilting. I'm so impressed you quilted with polyester batting on a home machine. I always use cotton because polyester moves too much for me. Beautiful results! Congratulations.
