Have you heard about the Quilt Festival? Amy at Park City Girl has set it up~ and she has loads of links to quilting bloggers~ and lots of wonderful quilts to see! Grab your mug/cup/can and head over for the show! :-)As for me~ I had such a time deciding what to enter! I chose 'Autumn Waves'. It is a recent finish and a favor
ite because my girlfriend who lives about 1800 miles away and I made this quilt together despite being so far apart. We chose the theme of ' autumn' and each of us made 44 pairs of blocks using our stashes and maybe a few additions. ;-) Then we swapped our duplicate blocks. I really enjoyed putting this quilt together because my blog readers chimed in when I showed different layouts, and different fabrics for the 
borders, so it was like quilters all over the world helped me to make my quilt! I met so many of y'all through the making of this quilt! It was fun! :-)) ...and I ended up with a great quilt full of memories. :-) Thanks everyone! :-)Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

How nice to make a quilt with a friend from far away, and to get advice from cyber quilting friends from all over. The resulting quilt is so pretty.

Beautiful quilt! I love the colors. I'm trying to work my way through the quilt festival. So many lovely quilts to look at!
a very gool quilt, and it's so great that you and your girlfriend created quilts the same, despite the challenge of distance
I love your process with your friend! And two great fall quilts are the result! (Did your friend lay hers out differently?)
I love it that you were able to do this with a "far-away friend". I love the warm colours.
Congrats on your win!
Beautiful! Great use of color.
I love this pattern! You did a great job with color!
I love the idea of working with someone remote on a quilt. What a way to bring you close. Question is, who gets to keep it? ;)
Lovely!
What a really fun idea and way to share. Your quilt is beautiful.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing
It's a lovely quilt. I like the idea that you can quilt with a friend even though she is far a way. It's fun to work on things together by mailing parts back and forth! Thanks for telling about your quilt.
Beautiful quilt with such a great story to go with! I love how small the world is through blogland :)
