Blogger's Quilt Festival

I'm getting in early this year! I think that last year I didn't sign up until the last day or so. I have been thinking about which quilt to enter and it hit be like a ton of bricks... Or like a house being dropped!

This is my One Block Wonder titled On the Way to Oz. I used a Wizard of Oz fabric for the blocks and part of the back.



I added a strip of the main fabric to the backing to show what the original fabric looks like.



I made this quilt a couple of years ago when I took a OBW class. I wanted my quilt to be bright and colorful and I didn't want to follow convention and pick an Oriental quilt like the shop was recommending to the other class participants. I finished it in enough time to hang in a quilt show in 2009.

I picked it for the Quilt Festival because I think that after the rainy, wet and dreary weather that we have had in Cincinnati the last few weeks, it is just the kind of quilt to lift my spirits and brighten my day.

Here are some of my favorite parts of the quilt.



This is an area where feet converged together.



In this final picture, you can just see the Emerald City in the corners opposite the apples.



I hope you enjoyed my quilt! You can see the other quilts by clicking on the badge below. :)
