Blogger’s Quilt Festival
I’m excited to welcome you back to the Blogger’s Quilt Festival! Gathering and sharing our work, even from afar, is exciting and inspiring. And I always love seeing new friendships formed through the Festival.
If you haven’t participated in the Blogger’s Quilt Festival in the past – Join in! There’s absolutely no restrictions on how long you’ve been sewing or the type of quilt that you like to make – most of all please share what you love. 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!
This fall the Blogger’s Quilt Festival is reminiscent of the first couple of years, back to basics yet wiht a few upgrades. ALL the quilts will be in one spot, in this post. Once you visit a quilt there is a check mark that appears on the photo, to help you keep track of where you’ve been. The linky software I use keeps track of your IP address, so if you switch devices you won’t have the same check marks.
Before we start admiring all the beautiful quilts, 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 logo images in this post, and in the sidebar, are links to take you to their spaces online – be sure to check them out!
Prizes:
will be awarded to participants in the Festival, via a random number generator. Since we aren’t voting anyone that enters a quilt can win!

Amy
I am so looking forward to the festival, Amy. Thank you for arranging this feast of beauty and inspiration.
Thanks for hosting and running the festival. I love looking at all the lovely quilts.
So excited to participate this year! Thanks so much for hosting the festival Amy!
Thanks for hosting this wonderful event… I so enjoy seeing all the lovely quilts! So much inspiration!
I love the return to the simpler format! Feel better and thanks so much for putting this together each year!
Thank you, Amy, once more for providing an opportunity for us, who are outside the USA.
It’s nice to see others’ quilts and to have you, American quilters, see my humble quilts.
I really like this more simplified version of the festival, I found it a bit overwhelming previously, thank you Amy!
Love that it isn’t broken down this year. Will be much easier to see everyone’s quilts.
Thanks for simplifying. The previous format was frustrating and took forever. I think this will be much smoother. And it has to be a lot less work for you.
Simplification looks good! I always look forward to seeing all the wonderful projects and being inspired. Thanks for hosting.
I hope I was able to submit my quilt. Thank you for the quilt festival, I can’t wait for all of the inspiration.
Thanks for hosting the Quit Fest on the Blog again this year. My favorite time of the Blogging Year. Feel better, enjoy your Blog Hopping.
Amy, thanks for hosting again this year. I like the simplification changes you’ve made. I am entering two of my recent finishes and look forward to visiting other blogs!
Does it have to be a recent quilt?
It does not need to be recent, but it does need a new post. Thank you!
Amy, added my quilt photo to Flickr and tried to link to You to Blogger’s Quilt Festival :: Fall 2017 Edition<unsure if it made it? Thanks for checking.
Thanks for hosting this Festival, Amy. Such eye-candy! :)
It’s so fun to see so many amazing quilts all in one place. Those of us who don’t attend Quilt Shows and Markets really appreciate this linkup.
Yay! I look forward to this each year. On the other hand, I spend SO MUCH TIME pouring over all these posts. I’ll get nothing done for the next week. It’s your fault! :-D
Thanks for hosting this wonderful festival again. I really like the simple format.
How many quilts/posts can we enter? Thanks for hosting this fun event.
Each quilter can enter up to two completed quilts, each in there own blog post.
Thanks!
I always look forward to this! Thanks for hosting, can’t wait to see all the lovely quilts!
Love Blogger’s Quilt Festival!! Can’t wait to check them all out
Thanks so much for hosting the quilt festival again. What fun!
Thank you for taking the time to have the quilt festival. I love looking at everyone’s quilts!
Thanks so much for hosting this festival once again! I do like the simplified format, taking things back to basics is often the best plan. I’ve always enjoyed visiting the quilters who share here and have made some new blogging friends and found inspiration through this Festival, so thank you again!
Thanks
Thank you for hosting this fun and inspiring event!!
Thanks for having this festival again, Amy. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of the quilty beauty. As a result of one of your previous festivals, I started following the blogs of other quilters who have now become friends. So enriching to quilting life!
Just added my quilt to the list! Thanks for hosting such a fun event Amy!
Thanks for hosting Amy! I look forwarded to the Bloggers Quilt Festival and enjoy discovering new quilters and of course all the quilts.
Thank you for hosting such a fun event! It really helps to ease the FOMO (fear of missing out!) some of us who couldn’t get to any of the ‘live’ fall quilt shows are experiencing! I’m looking forward to visiting all the beautiful quilts, with close up views and no tired feet! Thanks for hosting the generous giveaway, too!
Looks to be some amazing quilts! Thank you so much for hosting.
Thanks for hosting Amy!
Always enjoy visiting the links so see so many amazing quilts – thanks for hosting Amy!
Thank you Amy for organising the festival again. Love the idea of doing it the old way. That’s fun. Thanks also to all your sponsors. Great to have their backing.
I am looking forward to seeing all the wonderful quilts. Cheers.
Thank you Amy for organising the festival. It is always lovely to share with others. Thank you to all the generous sponsors as well! I have tried to add my link, but may have been unsuccessful. Let me know if I need to try again. Many thanks!
First time participating here. I’m enjoying visiting all of the terrific bloggers!
Thanks for hosting again, Amy! I like the simpler format and the random drawing instead of voting. I’m not seeing check marks for the blogs I have visited though.
Thank you for hosting, Amy! It’s always so fun to meet new quilty friends and see what I’ve been missing in the blogosphere!
thanks for a no voting contest – the asking people to vote for your quilt always put me off – I do not like to do that and I thought the contest became more of a popularity contest then a contest of the quality of the quilt
An amazing online quilt show! Thank you!!
Hi Amy,
Thank you so much for hosting this fun festival! I am having an issue sharing my link – it says there isn’t a linkback but I actually have two in my post. ~smile~ Roseanne
Amy, Thank you for hosting this great Blogger Quilt Festival. I just entered my first quilt. A-Mazed
Thank you for hosting. I am looking forward to visiting all the entries.
Thanks for doing this Amy!!! So much quilt inspiration in one place! Love it!!!
Thank you for hosting again this year, and for offering wonderful prizes! I have to say, I like the new setup – no categories, random winners, and pages of quilts to enjoy!
I just added my second quilt to the festival “Octagon Gems.” This is such a great idea!
Thank you for hosting this great Festival. This is my first time taking part, and it is a joy. I just love looking at everyone’s quilts!
I just entered a second quilt. Thanks again for hosting. This is a great Festival!
I found you via Martingale’s FB post about the Festival. This is so cool! I’ve entered 2 quilts and now am off to browse through all the others.
Amy, I really love that you have taken the festival back to its roots! Thanks for putting this all together. So fun to see what everyone is working on!
Thanks so much for hosting this event. I know it is a LOT of work. I look forward to it every year.
I’m so excited to finally be a participant in the Bloggers Quilt Festival this time. I appreciate the time and talent you put in to host this event and bringing together these wonderful sponsors and giveaways. If there’s anything that’s as good as making a quilt, it’s a blog hop where I can find new blogs to follow and inspiration.
Wow, there are some very inspiring quilts and stories here. Thanks for hosting, it’s my first time joining in.
Hi, Amy! Thanks for the Festival again this year. I decided to enter two quilts, Squares and H2H Quilt, both finished last spring/early summer. I’ve already been looking at so many beautiful quilts! Thanks to the sponsors you acquired for this year. They are all so generous! And so are you to spend so much time on this
So lovely to see all the quilts again this year – and appreciate the simple format! Thanks again for hosting, Amy.

I just found this festival a few weeks ago and am super excited to participate and see what everyone else shares!
This is wonderful! I love seeing what other bloggers are doing and this is a great place for everyone to do a little “sew and tell!”
This is such a fab thing to do, thank you! Have listed my two quilts in the linky :-) xx Loving visiting all these wonderful quilts!
This is so much fun Amy!! Thank you for putting it all together:). I hope I win a prize, but even if I don’t, I already feel like I have won because I have met you and so many others who share my love of quilting!
I love the Blogger’s Quilt Festival. What a great way to showcase so many people’s wonderful talents.
Thank you, Amy, for doing this for all of us! I just linked up my first entry, I think! I don’t see it there yet, but hoping it shows up soon. My first time using this Linkup, so I’m hoping I did it correctly. Thanks again and please do enter me into the giveaways. If this one worked, I have another to post as well.
Thanks Amy for a great show! I enjoy it so much every single year.:)

Thank you, Amy, for continuing the Festival! It’s so much fun to see all the quilts and hear stories (that’s what it’s all about, right?).
I just finished my second quilt blog post. The quilt is called “Nestled Beneath the Pines.” I am having so much fun visiting all the blogs of these very talented quilters. Thanks again, Amy, for doing this fantastic festival!!

Yayyy!!!!! I’m so glad to see the bloggers quilt festival return to its roots! Thanks for hosting this, Amy!
Love this idea! First time joining in on this but I’m excited to be linked up to so many other quilters.
Oh dear, I just got through one of those back-to-school colds too! Hope you’re feeling better by now!
Thanks for hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival again. I like this format with all the quilts together as it seems friendlier and easier to enjoy them all. But still a lot of work for you. Your efforts are appreciated.
Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into this Quilt Blogger’s Festival. I enjoy viewing the quilts. It provides great inspiration. I think the one-page format is easier this year, also.
Thank you Amy for this fantastic event! I’m so happy that I was able to join last minute. I have joined so many years that would have been sad to miss this. Greetings from Finland! x Teje
Thank you Amy for hosting the Festival. I appreciate being able to join and to enjoy all of the posts!!

It makes me wants to get my sew jo back so I can finish up some amazing quilts I have started!!!! Love your festival every year tho! Can’t wait for the next one, hopefully I’ll be able to join it!
I may have posted already Amy, but I just wanted to say thanks for not having a voting this year. I am only half way through looking at all the beautiful quilts and would never be able to pick out my top 3 or 5 or 10 quilts. There are so many and they are all so different and so beautiful. Thanks again for putting this all together.
It has been such a pleasure to look through all the beautiful work! I just added a second quilt to the fun. Thanks for organizing such a lovely event, and thank you to the sponsors for making the event extra fun!
Ok – this is so much fun I entered another quilt. It’s the black & white Tumbling Blocks one. It’s been wonderful seeing all the quilts. They are all so beautiful. Thank you again for hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival.
Yay! I’m so excited!
Thank you so much to take the time to put this show on. I love seeing everyone quilt :)

Thank you Amy for continuing to provide a format to discover new bloggers and be inspired by their quilts and the stories behind them. I alway enjoy writing a special post and linking up.
Thank you Amy for hosting the Bloggers Quilt Festival. I like the simple format this year; I am in the middle of packing to move and I am pressed for time; the new format makes it easier for me to check out the quilts when I am taking quick break from packing.
What fun! Looks like I’m too late to enter; maybe next year. :o)
Fabulous quilts, as always!
