Blogger's Quilt Festival entry

This is my entry for Amy's online quilt festival (have you looked over there? Over 500 entries!!) This is a mini quilt I made for my daughter Emily, but not just any little quilt. I blogged earlier this year about Emily's first quilt. She made it out of construction paper at school for my 37th birthday in January. I was so touched that she thought of me with every piece she cut and pieced, just like making a real quilt out of fabric right? After I posted about Emily's quilt (and the story about me giving my mom my first quilt and my mom making her mom her first quilt) a blogging friend left me a comment, suggested I make Emily a mini quilt like the one she made me. BRILLIANT! Here is Emily holding the mini I made for her, she just loves it!

Here is Emily holding the quilt she made me, I JUST LOVE IT, and her too of course! :)

I tried to stay as close as I could to the colors she used, those triangles were a bit tricky! Thanks Christina for the idea!
