New quilt finish: Woodland Trails...

I created this fun quilt within the last few months. I don't normally go with these colors, but they really called to me. I think it was mostly the owls and hopping foxes. I mean, come on! I love this line a lot!  It is Les Amis by Patty Sloniger for Michael Miller. LOVE LOVE LOVE! There is the same line in a gray and aqua colorway. You will die! (or already have) 


I have a mix of applique. I just did fusible. Way to much turning under for me. I liked how the white squares made a trail, and the peach squares made a trail. That is how I came up with the name Woodland Trails...


I tried to machine free motion quilt it to make the peach trails stand out more, didn't really work, but I am still very happy with this quilt...


We don't have it in the shop just yet, but have it ready. Email me if you are interested in ordering this pattern.
Hope you like my entry into the Bloggers Quilt Festival from Amy's Creative Side. This is so much fun to see all the great quilts! It is so much fun to see all the creative people!


I am also entering this into the quilt-photographer category of the festival..

    Oh my word, this is beautiful! I love how the white squares pop against the other fabric. And bless you for doing all that appliqué--I tried it once but it was just so much work!

    Great colours. It can be hard to find those light peach shades but perhaps we will see more of them.

    And congratulations on sticking with the applique!
