It’s International Quilt Market time, and that means Blogger’s Quilt Festival time too! Amy does a magnificent job putting on this great festival of quilts and their stories.
This time around I decided to enter a quilt I just finished today! This is my American Jane quilt made with Snippets and a Happy Camper binding. The pattern is Confetti Cake by Margot of The Pattern Basket. This first photo really captures the bright colors of the fabrics.
Confetti Cake is a large quilt, so the best place to get a full picture was outside.
And of course it has a scrappy back (like most of my quilts)!
I didn’t start looking for binding until after quilting–I was unable to find any Snippets around, but this great print from Happy Camper matched perfectly!
I started this quilt over a year ago and don’t know why it took me so long to get it finished (well, actually it was hidden for a while at the bottom of the “to be quilted” pile). It just goes to show that it’s never too late to finish up a work in progress!
Head on over to Amy’s and enjoy the rest of the quilt entries! Have a wonderful weekend!

What a perfect pattern for that fabric–love it! I have a huge collection of American Jane fabrics–I don't know why I haven't used any yet! I met Sandy this Summer at a quilt show and she said that was fine as long as I kept collecting the fabrics lolol!!!

Well, it's not like you've been sitting around, watching soap operas and eating chocolate for the last 12 months, you have accomplished quite a bit between the time you started and finished this beautiful quilt. I think the binding was a good choice, it looks great.
Congratulations!
this pattern reminds me of your Granny Squares project.

Denise in PA says
I love it, Sherri! I have to put that pattern on my list to make. It is just so colorful in those fabrics and I think the binding is perfect!
Prima Donna says
Love it! It has that "old-timey quilt" look that I love. Great job!
Sharon says
Your quilt is beautiful! Love the fabrics and scrappiness of the quilt…great job! Thanks for sharing
Vivian says
This looks likes Granny Squares in American Jane fabrics – and those two concepts together really rock! Love the look of this one a whole lot.
And finishing a quilt after letting it "simmer" for a while is always satisfying. As Emeril Lagasse would say, it gives it time for the "ingredients" to "get happy".
A Plain Path says
Gorgeous….well worth the wait to finish. Beautiful job!
Glenna @ Hollyhock Quilts says
