bloggers' quilt festival

I'm sure you've heard about the virtual quilt festival that Park City Girl organized. It's really REALLY hard to pick one favorite, but this one is consistently in my top ten -- I love the way the colors blend and glow in this wall hanging.

Be sure to scroll on over and check out the rest of the "show"!

The colors are amazing! It makes me think of soft and worn Mediterranean tiles. Don't you just love batiks?! Enjoy the warm weekend.
