BLOGGER'S QUILT FESTIVAL
Ahhh ... spring is in the air, sunshine, birdsong, and flower's blooming. And let's not forget about the now biannual Blogger's Quilt Festival hosted by Amy of Amy's Creative Side.
I participated in this last fall, and really enjoyed seeing all the quilts that fellow bloggers had either made or loved. So I knew I really wanted to join the fun again. Here is my entry - a sweet little circle quilt that I made this past winter for a fellow Air Force wife's new baby boy.

I am in love with this quilt. Good thing the baby shower is on Sunday.
Or I might make up an excuse to keep it.
It wanted to be hand quilted.
Which took forever with all the holiday hubbub going on.
All worth it. A friend is due in a few weeks.
Her husband should be home from the desert just in time to help welcome their little Jakob into the world.
And this cuddly little quilt will be waiting too.

That little quilt was a lot of fun to make. It ended up being very soft and cuddly, and very early - as her little one stayed in an extra week before making his appearance.
Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to settle in for a few hours and check out all the other great quilts.

Very cute. Love your quilting too.
Love. It. I understand about quilts wanting to be hand quilted, that has happened to me before. Are the circles reverse appliqued? or how did you make them?
great job....the quilt is simple, modern, and perfect for a little one....and the hand quilting looks great too!
What a great quilt for a little boy! And I must confess to a soft spot for circles.

IT's gorgeous, congratulations! I have a little boy and I love seeing boy quilts- there's not so many about, but they seem to have such a lot of variety and colour. And to have the quilt finished before the baby is actually born seems pretty amazing to me too!

I love this quilt. I'm a sucker for circles and bright colors. And the hand quilting really finishes it off nicely. What a lucky baby boy!
Simply marvelous! It reminds me of happy hot air balloons! And I love your hand quilting!

In Japanese fabrics you will often find circles such as yours... it was very reminiscent and fun!
