The
Blogger’s Quilt Festival is back! I love this festival, because it provides an opportunity to learn about new bloggers AND get inspired by tons of quilty eye-candy! Win-win!
This year, I am entering my quilt,
Neon Nova, into the
Modern Category.
Neon Nova is the quilt I created for my son’s new room when we moved into our new house last year.
The design of the quilt is based on a quilt I had seen on the
Urban Outfitters website a few years ago. There is really no record of it online except for
this Pin. I played with the proportions and changed some of the colors, but overall, that photo was the inspiration that I worked from. The finished quilt measures approximately 63×90 (a generous size for a twin). The entire quilt is straight line quilted with 3/4″ apart lines.
The quilt-front is is made using solid Kona cottons — celestial, ash, white, indigo, and (of course) highlight. The back is a mix of the fabrics used on the front with mostly Carkai in Navy by Carolyn Friedlander.
I just love the way that it turned out! My son adores the quilt, too, and he especially loves when it gets love from the online community! He thinks his quilt is famous!
Thanks so much for stopping by! And for other recent projects, you can check out my
Finished Quilts,
Other Projects and
Tutorials!
Enjoy the Festival!

Wow! Love the way that looks. The colors are terrific. Neat backing, too. I can see why your son loves it.
Your sons quilt *is* famous, and I am hoping that he gets to see some fun comments from those getting to admire it for the first time through the festival. I love the way the highlight glows in your design.
This is a really stunning effective quilt. I love the colour choices and the back and the photos… the list goes on. Beautiful!
What a great quilt!
I can see why your son loves it; it’s beautiful. Love the colors!
I remember this and I love it! It’s really a great piece. It looks like it was fun to make and for me, that’s pretty important.
This is a beautiful quilt. I love the quilting on it too!
I love it. Your quilt really stood out when I looked at the thumbnails. I love how you’ve used the solids. You’ll be getting my vote.
Oh yes, this is a winner! Love the black/blue/highlight combo – it makes such an impact!
Beautiful and striking quilt! I really like the backing design, too … 🙂 Pat
I love the crisp look of this quilt–both sides!! The setting couldn’t be more striking to show it off. I can see why your son is so proud. Well done!
Great colors and great pattern! Love both sides! Gorgeous!
I’m not surprised your son loves it. It’s stunning.
Love the quilt; great work!
it is very striking, love those blues and how wonderful that your son thinks a quilt you made is famous, you can’t get any better than having our own children admire us. Great Job!!
