Welcome to my entry of Bloggers Quilt Festival 2009.
Thanks to Park City Girl for getting us all organized again!
This quilt was a lot of firsts for me.
This definitely wasn't my first quilt, but it is from the beginning of my quilting obsession.
I actually followed a pattern! You just don't know how hard that is for me. I don't do it often.
This is one of the largest quilts I had ever done.
I had never used triangles like these before. I changed my mind on the fabric and layout sooo many times, it's ridiculous. But once it finally all came together, I think it turned out great.
I made this quilt for Gracie for Christmas in 2007. That was right before I got my longarm quilting machine. I got this back from having it quilted on the 23rd of December. I was very worried I wouldn't have it in time for Christmas. I wasn't able to get binding on it until after Christmas. Gracie didn't seem to mind.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteThose inset stars are really beautiful. They add just the right touch.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow, absolutely beautiful. Love your color combinations. Stunning indeed.
ReplyDeletethat's lovely! I love the colour combinations and the pattern. :) And boy - do I hear you on the "hard time following a pattern". I don't think I've done it yet! :)
ReplyDeleteVery Lovely!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME!! I really love the colors. Once again you leave me in awe of your talent!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous quilt! I love how the stripes create patterns of their own! Thanks for sharing :o)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I love how you fussy cut the stripes.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and how you used the tonality to accent pattern. Great quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and I love the story that goes with it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very striking quilt!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely!
ReplyDeleteAllison, this is wonderful, love the color (deep purple) and the design. It looks like it is well loved. Thanks for sharing this wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks great. My next quilt is going to be a triangle quilt now that I have seen yours. It was further down 'the list' but has now moved up to the top.
ReplyDeleteIt's a stunning quilt. Your fabric choices are great!
ReplyDeleteGreat colours! That is a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty colors and great looking quilt...
ReplyDeleteI like all the triangles in this one! I don't think I've seen one quite like it before! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the brown with all the other colors, especially the striped one. Awesome quilt!

Wow, I love the triangles! I hate patterns too, but I might have to try this one! Your colors and fabrics are great, you have a very lucky daughter!
ReplyDeleteWhat a striking confident quilt. I really like the colour combinations and the way the triangles have been used.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt, and I also liked listening to Pres. Uchtdorf's words about creativity! Heavenly Father must really love diversity, variety, and color, don't you think? :D

The quilt turned out beautifully. I love the final layout you chose. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is a knock out.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try triangles like this. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteA triangle quilt is on my list of things to do...Your quilt is inspiring me to do this sooner than later...
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Why have I never thought of using triangles? I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the stripes go in all different directions. Lovely quilt!
ReplyDeletethis is really lovely and my daughters favorite color combo! great job
ReplyDeleteOne of the best parts of the quilt show is being inspired by other quilter's work. I love your hexagon quilt and it looks like your daughter Grace does too. The colors in your quilt are a bit like neapolitan ice cream - brown for chocolate, vanilla - white and pink for strawberry ice cream. Its hard to pick which flavor is your favorite among the three but together they make something scrumptious - just like your beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

this is just great. I love it. I love the big graphic fabrics you used.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out beautiful! I love the triangles.
ReplyDeletestunning! I love the deep, saturated colors you used!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is striking. I like it a lot!
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful quilt, allie!!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are just fabulous - even though it was touch and go, your timing was better than mine!!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors in this quilt. Very rich.
ReplyDeleteOoooooo. Ahhhhhhhhh. I LOVE that quilt -- the pattern, the fabrics, the layout -- everything. I've got to go find it on flickr to mark it as a fave! Good work!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my circle Arcadia quilt. Yours is so neat with all the triangles. I have only done a few triangles in a pinwheel style, not sure if I could attempt something that difficult. But you did a great job, awesome quilt. I was looking at some of your posts and how awesome that you have a long-arm quilter. Like you have a big time one. I would love one, but for now I just sew with my small machine, best I can. That would also be why I have a queen sized quilt not quilted yet, because I can not attempt it. Ok, sorry for rambling but love your stuff in Etsy also, good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like your quilt.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color and contrast, and the photo of your daughter enjoying it reminds me of when I surprised my daughter with one on a Christmas day long ago.
Thanks for sharing and for stirring an old memory.
beautiful!! and i cannot believe you have your own longarm machine!
ReplyDeleteI love the drama of the triangles & I'm sure your daughter does too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow I love the color choices in your quilt. Very stunning.
