As I mentioned in my post yesterday, I’m so excited for the 2015 Blogger’s Quilt Festival hosted by Amy’s Creative Side. This is a fun, low stress event that encourages us to take a look back at all our favorite quilts made by our favorite bloggers this past year. Voting for your favorites begins on May 22nd.
For my second entry, I’ll be entering my Laundry Day Mini Quilt. This quilt is my favorite thing I’ve ever made! It combines all of my favorite things: gorgeous fabrics in Cotton + Steel beachy tones, loose, whimsical quilting, and hand embroidery.
I am so excited about this little wall hanging because it has freed me up to go a whole new direction in my quilting. I have lots of ideas about the next several quilts I’d like to make that use similar methods of construction and design. And that’s a thrilling feeling… to have ideas tickling my brain all hours of the day and night.
I hope to release a pattern for this mini quilt sometime soon. It’s a fun recipe that encourages creativity and imagination.
Here’s the background I started with. I love to practice quilting designs on neutral fabric, and then figure out what I can make with them.

Swirly wind
And here are the little paper dresses I make with my 7 year old daughter (she’s an origami pro) that inspired this whole quilt design!
Now, I’m heading over to Amy’s Creative Side before bedtime (or before one of my kids wakes up) to check out all the entries.

That is the cutest quilt. I love how the swirls are like the wind blowing and making the dresses dance on,the line.
Dear Stephanie,
That looks really great and I love the mix of the different techniques. Good luck for this entry.
Greetings, Rike
Wow, I really like the 3D dresses. This quilt is so darling and would make me smile whenever I walked into my laundry room! Looking forward to the pattern.
I love this sweet mini, Stephanie, and the fact that the dresses are origami inspired and folded by your daughter is just awesome!
I love this little quilt. It is so carefree and the quilting makes feel like I’m floating. Wow!!
Such a cute mini quilt! I love the idea of folding the fabric like that!

Glad to see this one in the festival! It’s such a cute quilt, I love all the details!
What a cute mini, I love the design! I’ve never been very good at origami, that is so neat that your daughter is such a whiz at it. The quilting on the base piece is gorgeous!
