As soon as I thought about Bloggers Quilt Festival, I knew which quilt I wanted to display.
Even though some of you have seen it before, I love this quilt and want everyone to see it.
The first time I saw the Authentic line by Sweetwater, I just squealed! The colors and the prints and the words - they are perfect. I had it for quite a while before I found the perfect pattern to use - Merry Go Round by Sandy Klopp.
Here it is:
Thanks for stopping by and viewing my Authentic Merry Go Round.

Beautiful! I love this line of fabric. Great choice.
I loved this! It really caught my eye. It is such a beautiful quilt. If it is pieced the way I THINK it was pieced, it must have been a labor intensive project...lots of love it in for sure.
No wonder you wanted to show this off again, its fabulous Mary.
Yup, this is wonderful - I love Authentic and love hexagons, especially bog popping ones, this is really perfect
Oh, Mary, I love these fabrics, too--especially the graphic ones! The block pattern is just perfect for showing them off.
Warm regards,
Dana

I love it!
I love Authentic! Great choice of fabric and pattern.
I really like this quilt and want to make this pattern...it's on the list of things to make! Very nice!!
What a great pattern for the fabric. I love fabric with words. Authentic is a great fabric line and that's a great quilt!
Beautiful quilt - thanks for sharing!
This really is a cool quilt! I think your fabric choices work perfectly for this pattern. And that quilting just adds so much to the final piece. Beautiful!
Mary, I love your Authentic hexagon quilt! It is gorgeous! I am lucky to have seen it in person!
Very pretty
beautiful...and so much work!
Nice and I love the name taken from the fabric line. I bought some of that too. It's in my STASH with all the other lonely fabrics I haven't used.
All those hexagons sitting nicely next to one another. It is just gorgeous.
it's just stunning Mary...love the colours so much..

Lovely,lovely quilt! Good work Mary!
I like this quilt! I like the design and I like the fabrics. A different color combo that goes together well.
Beautiful! I loved that line of fabric as well. I am hoarding mine!
This fabric works so well with this design. it's a great quilt.
Mary, this quilt is fabulously gorgeous! I see why you chose it!
Such a wonderful quilt! Perfectly pieced.
What a wonderful quilt! Such a unique design. I haven't seen anything quite like it.
Now, THIS is fun!! Thanks for sharing.
Definitely squealable! I have not seen this line in person but the quilt is surely a terrific representation of it! Thanks for sharing your quilt's story :)
Very effective and pretty way to show off the fabric.
I've been pondering this pattern for a while, but got distracted by a different variation. After seeing yours, I can see that I'm not over the Merry Go Round variation....may need to add it to my "to do" list.
wow I really love everything about this quilt - the palette - the blocks - the use of value - just stunning!!
Mary - this quilt is just so wonderful!! I love that pattern - it's definitely on my to-do list. It looks SO wonderful in the Authentic!
Very impressive - I like that you made the effort to bind the hexagons instead of lopping them off straight. It was worth it!
This is so fun. Love the pattern. And from the small photo on the quilt festival I thought the fabric was Neptune at first. I love this line though and you used it wonderfully.
I've said it before; I heart this quilt. Authentic is my favorite line and I really enjoy looking at this particular quilt.
What a beautiful quilt.
I love this quilt. The colors are amazing and I really like the hexagons.
Thanks for sharing it.
That is such a stunning quilt!

I sooooo love this quilt Mary! It's a beauty!
This is just amazingly beautiful - I love this!
This is the most gorgeous quilt I have ever seen made with Authentic. I loved this fabric line when I first saw it. What you did with it is just magnificent!
i consider myself very priviledged to have seen this beauty in person! it makes me smile thinking about all our good retreat laughs, too. this quilt is amazing! and clearly a perfect choice to feature for the quilt festival. :)
Love, Love, Love!
love the fabric and love the pattern, very very cool Mary!
Yeah! I love this quilt Mary. It is a beauty! I love that I saw all it's fabric details and fun quilting.
p.s. congrats on the new additions to your family! What cute things you've been sewing for them!
I like the hexagon border! You have a lot of patience to finish the binding.

This is a fabulous quilt- I love the pattern and have often thought about making this quilt. It is a terrific pattern and would look great whatever combination one chose- Brights,soft, batiks, tone on tone- so many choices.
