I need to get some batting for it, hopefully today, and I think the quilting will really make this quilt. I am developing my personal philosophy of quilting -- Quilts do not to be a complicated pattern to be a beautiful and well loved quilt. I do love lots of complicated patterns, like this, but realize that I would rather be able to finish it than work on it for a year :)
What sort of quilts are your favorite? I have been exposed to so many beauties with our recent festival - truly awed by what some of you are able to accomplish . . . maybe when I don't have so many little people around :)
Ooh - and did you see the swap over here??? I've got enough on my plate for now but I know some of you are very interested in swapping :) Sign-ups are open until May 4th!
Have a great weekend -
Amy

this is adorable! i'd love to commit to the great swap but i think i'd falter...maybe next time!
Absolutely! Babies don't care if quilts are complicated, and they probably actually like the simple ones better.
Cute quilt! Love the fabrics.
Simple is so often beautiful. Love your simple quilt.
Wow! Amazing... I actually don't think it's that simple! I LOVE THIS though....Yeah the quilting will make this quilt. What does the back look like? I'm interested to see.... keep posting cause I LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!!!
Thanks again for the online quilt festival. I have seen so many gorgeous quilts and talented artists through this. I have had hits on my blog from all over the world, which thrilled me, especially as I am pretty new to blogging.
Today I received my prize from Fabric Supplies, a group of great fabrics. I went to their Etsy store and ordered some fabric, which also arrived today. So I can testify as to their service.
I am delighted!
I really like how this quilt turned out and the material is just way cool.
I LOVE Wonderland! Great fabrics, cool pattern.
i totally agree - simple but clever quilts with nice colors are what i gravitate toward these days!
Very cute Wonderland quilt, Amy! I love simple quilts too. I think that sometimes my favorites are just plain squares! But I also have a weak spot for log cabins, wonky and otherwise. I enjoy making them and looking at them.
Beautiful! I wish I could do that! Have you ever heard of the quilting museum in Paducha, KY? I got to go last year. Pretty cool place!
Lovely, lovely! I agree, sometimes a simple pattern can look just as incredible as a complicated one, especially with great fabrics. And, well, then you actually have a shot at finishing them in a reasonable amount of time. :-)
Amen to the simpler quilts. I, too, love elaborately made quilts but I don't have years and years... so I must get on with my projects.
Super cute Amy. I LOVE the MOMO fabric and we didn't get it at the shop, so I am on the lookout. I am a huge fan of the prints you have, a great combo. Have you ever thought of publishing some of your patterns?? You're on a roll:)
I'm with you - I think a lot of times, the simpler the better. With all of the gorgeous fabrics out there it's a shame to not showcase them in designs that hide their beauty. You know?
Such a sweet quilt! Love the fabric and the pattern. Thanks for the tip about the mini quilt swap. I'm not sure if I'll have time, but it's so tempting! I have wanted to do a mini quilt swap for many months now.
So cute! I love that collection!
I love this! The Wonderland fabric is some of my favorite.
very cute Amy! Those wonderland fabrics are seeeeewww cute!! I love that you designed it yourself too!
p.s. I just figured out how you did this and it's so amazing that the way you've arranged them could take a simple design and make it so it looks so complex and deep. VERY nice work Amy! I'm so impressed!
How bright and pretty!
Quilts don't have to be complicated to be beautiful. I think simple designs are great for the large pattern fabrics that are popular at the momment. I look forward to seeing it quilted.
I love the simple quilts. In the end, they never look simple and they allow to display beautiful quilts. Your quilt is beautiful.
I love this! so cute!
I'm finding that i gravitate to the more simple and modern quilts. I love ones that really let beautiful fabrics really be the focus.

I think besides your amazing talent to quilt is your ability to put fabrics together that end up looking beautiful!
My quilting philosophy? I've never thought about it. But I do emphasize personal creativity - whether that's in fabric choices in an existing pattern or coming up with something entirely on your own.
I have been thinking about a style - whether I have one or not? I fear that I do and I kind of wish I didn't. I don't want to be pigeonholed. Time to try something new!
It's stunningly beautiful! I love it!
So bright and cheery!
it is so so pretty! but then i am a sucker for wonderland
i really like your design
i checked out that swap too, but its just not a good time right now...i need some swapless time for me!!
Cute fabrics. I like the simplicity of the zig zag on this
