While going through my huge list of blogs that I have yet to catch up on, I was reminded by multiple posts that the Blogger's Quilt Festival is coming to an end, and if I'm going to join in the fun it had better be now!

This quilt is titled "Heather Ross, Squared" and is one of the very first quilts that I made, once again using solely fabric from Heather Ross' first fabric line "Lightening Bugs and Other Mysteries". I think this might be my favorite fabric line of all time, and I really wanted to show off the amazing prints.

If I remember correctly, this pattern is called "Four Square", and is made up of 8", 4", and 2" squares, separated by 1" sashing. I used up a ton of my HR stash by doing some major fussy cutting for the 2" squares, but I completely love how it turned out. I ended up quilting it in an all over, loop-di-loop pattern - my first time doing free-motion quilting!

I even entered this quilt in my first (and so far, only) quilt show! I didn't win any prizes, but it was a lot of fun and a great feeling to see it hanging up there with the quilts of all those other talented ladies, and I got some great feedback from the judges.
