Blogger's Quilt Festival

I know you guys have seen this, but I wanted to share it again.  Why?  Because I wanted it to be a part of the Blogger's Quilt Festival!



This quilt is titled "The DOG" and I made for my dad for father's day.  I made it as a representation/interpretation of an old truck he has.  I learned a lot of cool things while making this quilt.  I learned how cool tulle looks when you use it to create a shadow.  I learned that solid fabrics would probably be the easiest way to do this layering sort of technique successfully.  I learned that I can quilt in little circle shapes.  I learned a lot! 

This is the third quilt I did using a photograph to create an image.  The first two were of my grandparents as children.  You can see them on these posts: Gramma's 79th Birthday & Papa's 80th Birthday.  Each time I've tried creating an image using this layering technique I've tried things a little differently.  Fusible web is the way to go; glue is okay, but gets a little messy.  Reverse applique doesn't work with 7 (or so) layers.

Enjoy the rest of the festival!
