Fall 2011 Blogger's Quilt Festival

 This year for the blogger's quilt festival I am happy to present one of my favorite quilts: Dance Steps.
 I really really love the movement in this quilt {hence the name}.  The color doesn't hurt either!  It kind of looks like falling leaves...or snowflakes...or rain.  You get my drift.  I am dying to make this different ways...switching the white and prints, using different colors.  It's charm pack friendly, so it is very easy.  I'd love to do this in solids one day.  Red and pink maybe.
 I wrote this up into a pattern for baby, lap, & twin sizes.
And the Fat Quarter Shop is carrying the pattern in PDF form.

    Very pretty.

    I'm thinking it might make an adorable mini as well.

    Lovely quilt! I am a big fan of orange, and it's not the most common color used in quilts, so it's a treat to see an orange quilt.

    I do not like orange--unless it's fruits or vegetables--probably because orange flowers make me sneeze my head off. But I do love your orange quilts--very refreshing, no sneezing!
