Hi & Welcome to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! Everyone is welcome to view and admire the quilts, and we’d love to have you share your quilts too! No matter how long you’ve been quilting or blogging, you are welcome to share your quilts. This can be a great time to ask questions of the more experienced quilters even. Whatever you do, don’t let the beauty of what someone else has created, keep you from sharing your own project – you never know who you will inspire!
The Blogger’s Quilt Festival started because I wanted a place for bloggers to share their work, and be inspired by others all in one place! Having prizes and meeting fellow bloggers with similar interests made it even better. Over the 8 years that we’ve been sharing quilts this way the Festival has grown and evolved to what it is today, and my goal is to continue as long as you all keep participating! I love seeing all the quilts in one place and adding new to me blogs to my “must follow” list or pinterest boards of inspiration. With the changes that I’ve made this year, my hope is that you all will continue to enjoy the Festival here or on Instagram in the spring, and with my time freed up a little, I’ll be able to enjoy it along with you!
I have to thank the sponsors for their amazing prizes, and overall support of the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! I couldn’t do it without them! I hope that you all take the time to shop our “vendor mall” ;) and pick up fabric or patterns for your next project. All the images in this post, and in the sidebar, link you to their spaces online – be sure to check them out!

Thanks for hosting this festival again, Amy! I love it, and I will especially enjoy looking at and oohing and aahing over everyone’s quilts because I’m laid up at the moment with a broken shoulder and can’t sew myself. This will be a fun way to pass the time while I recover.

Hi Amy, I managed to sort out the problem with my entry, and my blog post is up, complete with links back to you. Again, thank you for hosting this and giving everyone the opportunity to see great work they otherwise wouldn’t be able to access.
Thanks for the event!
I always look forward to this…love seeing all the beautiful quilts. Thanks
Thank you Amy for organising another quilt festival – very much appreciated.
Amy thanks so much for hosting. As I was looking at quilts entered, I was worried about how I was going to keep track of those I have already looked at as new ones are added. You have me covered. I love that once I’ve looked at a quilt, a green check marked appears in the corner. Yeah!!!! Thanks again for hosting, I can’t wait to see all the quilts and find some blogs that are new to me to follow.
I would participate but I don’t understand about all the linking that is required. Why does this have to be so hard?
Thanks, Amy! Lots of fun! I have entered.
Thanks for hosting again, Amy! I’m looking forward to reading about all the great quilts :)
Another great festival Amy! Thanks!

I entered a large quilt in this festival. This is the first time I’ve participated. Is this the correct place to comment to be considered for prizes? I was unsure what you meant by main page.
I just entered my second quilt in the modern category. Thanks.
Amy, thank you for organizing and hosting this quilt festival. I know it must be a LOT of work but it’s such a great idea and such fun to find new blogs and see all the quilts. Thanks!

Help! I entered an appliqué quiet in the link up. According to the linkup, the link is made but I cannot find my quilt in the list for appliqué quilts. I’d love to try again, but the link up won’t let me. Any ideas….other than writing a whole new post?
Hi Velda! I need a link to look for – I can help!

Thank you for the opportunity to see so many beautiful works in one place and for sharing my favorites too, Amy!
What a brilliant idea, Amy. I must admit I am new to the party, but I promise I will be a regular now. This is like going to a Quilt Show completely free of charge, and from the comfort of your home. I am looking forward to be awed and inspired. And I am going to enter (soon, I know) as soon as I figure out which two quilts and the appropriate categories. Thank you so much for hosting.
Preeti.

This is sew fun Amy! Thank you for organizing the festival!
Thanks for the festival- so much eye candy and inspiration.
Writing up my post today for the eighth year in a row! So fun;)
It usually takes me a couple of months to get through all of the entries – a few here and there with a cup of coffee makes a really nice break :-) My 7 year old daughter just finished her first quilt and she was soo tickled when I told her we could enter it in the BQF! Thanks so much for hosting year after year.
Thanks for hosting, Amy! I just linked up in the Original Designs category.
Thanks again for having that quilt show this year.
Amy,
This great event has to take so much planning & coordinating you must have energy to spare. So many creations to learn from & savour plus so many talented quilters & new ideas. Thank You ever so much for this & I am so glad that the show is repeating again this year.
I love that you are still hosting such a successful blogger’s quilt fest! The evolution over the years keeps me coming back for more and more inspiration. Oh how the categories have grown! Thank you!
