Blogger's Quilt Festival Entry
Hi there! It's been a while since I posted (canning season!) but I wanted to get my entry in for the Quilt Festival hosted by Amy.
My aunt made this throw-sized (52x60) quilt almost four years ago as a wedding gift for me and my husband. She used "Through the Garden Gate" fabrics designed by Valori Wells, a fellow Oregonian!
I love flowers and gardening, and when we opened the package it was love at first sight! I love the bright vibrant colors, the pinwheels, the lush garden border, and the thought she put into our gift. It lives on our "Santa Chair", a burgundy velvet number that looks like a chair Santa would take a snooze in at the North Pole. :)
Thanks for hosting such a wonderful festival, Amy, and all the quilts I've seen so far are beautiful! :)
