Blogger's Quilt Festival - Spring 2013

It's springtime and that can only mean one thing.  It's time for the Blogger's Spring Quilt Festival.
It is organised by Amy from Amy's Creative Side and  I must pause here to thank Amy for all her hard work in organising the festival.


This year we are allowed to enter two quilts.
This is my first entry - my snow dyed butterfly quilt.

 I snow dyed all but the peachy fabric for this quilt myself.  It measures 42" x 47" and is my own design.

I free motion quilted this on my domestic - I have a Janome 1600.  This is the center section.

I machine appliqued the butterflies then worked a bit of trapunto to make them stand out. I quilted freehand feathers and pebbles behind them.

I then added two more layers to the butterflies....

and added a fuzzy center for the bodies.  I crocheted them with some funky fur yarn and sewed them down very securely.

I am entering this quilt into the Favourite Baby Quilt catergory,

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I'd be thrilled if you voted for my quilt.

Rhianon.
