Neptune Quilt--Blogger's Quilt Festival

So, I decided to get with the program and enter my quilt into the Bloggers' Quilt Festival.  So many beautiful quilts have been featured so far!

Amy's Creative Side

I think this is my favorite quilt I have made so far.  I used a quilt pattern called "Jewel Box" and used 4 charm packs and some yardage.  Being from California, my heart is at the ocean.  The Neptune fabric line was the ideal choice for the fabrics in this quilt.  Everything about it, the fabric design, color pallate, pattern fit so well together.  At first, I made this quilt for myself.  I find that every time I gift a quilt, it is part of me that goes with it.  I especially feel that way about this quilt.  I ended up giving this to my mom for Christmas.  My mom is dear to my heart and we have spent many years apart.  I felt that this was a way for me to still be with her, even though we're 3000 miles away.
