Although I'd really really love to be going to Quilt Market in Houston, or even the Festival that follows, sadly I'm here, but lucky for us all Amy has organised her Bloggers Quilt Festival for those of us not going...
So it would be rude not to, right? So to those of you visiting for the Festival, welcome, and enjoy!
It was a difficult choice, so I've gone with my second favourite quilt I made this year is Arcadia Hexagon Park...
This quilt was Designed by Lynne Goldsworthy, of Lillys Quilts for Moda Bakeshop, and when I saw it there I was immediately drawn to it, not just because it was designed by a friend ...
I confess, I'm not a love of grandmothers garden, but this, well this was different, yeah right!
Clear instructions, and Lynne's voice telling me how to do this as I sewed through it ...
What I learned, well, that would be to concentrate, I mis-cut three of my layer cake squares, and had to do a little fudging to make it fit! Oops!
I love the Arcadia line by Sanea, and when it came to quilting this one, it turned into a very organic process which I thoroughly enjoyed ...
I love how the Superior Lava threads glows with the sun shining through ...
this picture just sums up how magical this quilt is for me. I hope you like it too!
Please head on over and visit all the other peeps entering the Bloggers Quilt Festival, you are in for a wonderful feast of loveliness :)
Happy Quilting!

Such a beautiful quilt! The quilting looks amazing! I have an unfinished Arcadia quilt and seeing yours is just the motivation I need to get working on it again.

Beautiful quilt! Love big hexagons so much. I can see that might be something i'd do...those tiny ones are beautiful but don't think i'd ever do it. Thanks for sharing and have a great day
Lovely quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Trudi,
This quilt is DIVINE! I have loved that tutorial by Lynne and then to combine it with Arcadia - one of my favorite fabric collections?? Holy smokes, I LOVE IT!
Also congrats on your bricks quilt being a 'banner' quilt over at Sew We Quilt. I love it out of Hoot! (You have fabulous fabric taste.) Thank you so much for the shout out too. It was so fun to see your version!
