Blogger's Quilt Festival

So I finally decided to participate in Amy's Blogger's Quilt Festival! I've never done this before because I always feel like I have to wait for just the right quilt to enter. Well, ya know what?? I love my Pinwheel Sampler Quilt. So that's what I chose to enter!

I participated in Rachel of p.s. i quilt's Pinwheel Sampler Quilt Along. I thoroughly enjoyed making this. I loved the fabrics and looked forward to what combination I'd use for each block. This measures 58"x69" and is made with Kate Spain's "Verna". The solids are a white and a beige IKEA sheet. This quilt lives on my sofa and I use it just about every day when I'm watching TV. 
Enjoy browsing all those beautiful quilts out there! What inspiration!!
