«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 372 of 372Floating Triangles far and away! I have a love affair going with triangles. Thanks for celebrating your new book with a very generous giveaway.
It is so hard to pick just one! But, since I have to I would say that the Raspberry Dessert is at the top of my list. I can see it in so many colorways that will please even the pickiest person.
Thanks for such a wonderful book! I've got it on my holiday wish list but I may not be able to wait until then!
I love box of chocolates! The many colors look amazing together
I love the Four Patch Shift pattern from the cover! Love the colors and traditional feel!
Floating triangles is my favorite--would be fun in brights and black background --bucket list....
I love the Raspberry Dessert quilt and all the options you offer! Can't wait to try it!
I am totally smitten with Raspberry Dessert it is so visually striking! I am enjoying the blog tour so much and look forward to buying your book and hex'n more ruler!!
Dot Dot Dash is my favorite. Going to have to make this one soon.
I love the PATTERN of floating triangles--unusual and packs a punch. I also love the color schemes you did with te green coins and the raspberry one.
I love all of them, but if I pick a favorite, it would have to be Framed Coins. I love how it looks so simple, yet so stunning all at once. Congrats on your book, If I don't win any of the great giveaways, I'm definitely going to buy it! I've enjoyed reading all about it on all the blogs :)
My favourite quilt is Framed Coins, but Four Patch Shift is a close second. What's not to like about four patches?
Hi Julie! Congratulations on you new book, your new ruler Hex-a-Go-Go, and all of the hype in the quilting world over your quilts! :)
Oh wow, to pick a favorite...do I have to narrow it to just one? Okay, well if I must...Box of Chocolates! I like that this quilt uses an array of fabrics. To me, it could easily become a scrap buster quilt. It gives one the freedom to use really fun and colorful fabric, or to not do so but still end up with a simply fun quilt! Also, it looks like a very realistic quilt to: one, cut out (I am not a fan of the cutting out part); two: sew together. I'm a novice, so I have finished just a few quilts. I KNOW that I can actually do this one and not get frustrated, AND, it's still beautiful!!! Thanks!
I'm a big fan of bright scrap quilts, so box of chocolates is my favorite.
If had to pick just one, it would be Raspberry Desert. There are several color ways I want to make it in!
I love the softer colors of Dot Dot Dash. I look forward to looking through the entire book!

My favorite is Dot Dot Dash, although Box of Chocolate is a close second. I could see myself trying both patterns.
It has been fun to follow along on the blog hop! My favorite is Raspberry Dessert. There are lots of things you can do with this! I also like Box of Chocoalte. I am seeing a theme here!!! aghollandattriad.rr.com
i love box of chocolates! thanks for the chance!
I believe Raspberry Desert is my favorite.
I love the Four Patch Shift! awolk at rogers dot com
My favorite is Raspberry Dessert. I really like the pateerns with the Hex n more ruler too.
My favorite (I have the book!) is the floating triangles. I have some brown fabric and plan to make the triangles with pink fabric! thanks for the opportunity to win the beautiful fabrics!
my email is vickibrown at shaw dot ca

I like the Four Patch Shift.
thanks... nclement@ct.metrocast.net
so new to blogging, but so glad that I found yours! What a smartie pants you are! (PS...my daughter said that quilting was for "old people" Hah! Sent her your blog!) I am so excited about your ruler! Have a project all lined up and ready to go! Thanks!
Rasberry Dessert if my favorite quilt by far. Just love the illusion it plays on the eyes. You just can't take your eyes off of it.
I love the colours and design of "floating triangles" . But then, I'm a sucker for simple repeated blocks that make cool secondary patterns. Raspberry dessert (pie??? I'm having a brain fart) keeps catching my eye, but I think I'm less likely to make that one. Is the pattern similar to hidden wells?
Sarah
Definitely Raspberry Dessert in any colour way. I love the colour formations with the blocks on point
Of the ones I have seen, I love "Box of Chocolates!" Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the Four Patch Shift quilt in your book and plan on making it soon.
oops...guess I should remember the rules.... Box of Chocolates of course! (maybe Tom Hanks was trying to tell me something? ) Oh and did I tell you that I have been STRESSING over always having borders???? Not anymore!
Mmm, Raspberry Dessert! I can see it in plenty of other colourways too :-)
Love your Raspberry dessert, especially when I saw all the different color options you showed. It is so pretty no matter what colors it is made in!
Thanks for the great give away!

I'm loving Rasberry Dessert. I can see it being great in several color combinations.

I just love Raspberry Dessert - everytime I see it, it just grabs my attention. It has to be one of my all time favourite patterns
I love "Box of Chocolates". I love solids and modern fabrics. You used all those modern fabrics, showcasing each center square. I love it because so many fabrics are so beautiful I don't want to cut them up in little pieces. Making your quilt I could use my favorites and still view the prints or do it in solids and it would still be awesome. That is why it is my favorite quilt but I see other pictures from the book that are beautiful! Need to win a copy, yes I do!
Love the crisp lines of Raspberry Dessert! It's a classic
I like the asymmetry and color choices of Floating Triangles.
I love floating triangles. I like the way the birght colors pop from the dark background and, well, float.
I love the black and white w green quilt Framed Quilts. I just did a black and white w hot pink quilt.
It is a toss up for me, my two favourites are Raspberry Dessert and Rows of Bricks, would love to be able to make both quilts.
I love Dots and Dashes - I love the colors you used and I love ways to use Jelly Rolls.
Such lovely patterns - it has been fun following the blog hop. I must Raspberry Dessert has had my eye since I first saw it. A very striking pattern and also pink is a way to my heart :)
I can't decide between your cover photo "Four Patch Shift" and "White Stars"...hard to choose since there are so many great quilts you've made!
I love your Raspberry Dessert Quilt!! Thanks!!
Jaytensen@gmail.com
I absolutely love Rows of Bricks. Just my style =)
Floating triangles! I think I want one with a dark blue background.
I am loving the Dot Dash Dot quilt. I have seen it on several blogs and I just love the simplicity of it and how it changes with the different fabrics used.
Box of Chocolates is my favorite! I love all the colors that it has in it!
cjpike at indiana dot com
I'm loving the Box of Chocolates quilt.
I quite like the "four patch shift," though it was hard to choose just one favorite.
I love Box of Chocolates! Love the lively combinations of colors and prints!
Raspberry dessert is my fav. I love it!!
Raspberry Dessert for sure!
Realy difficult choose...I love all your quilts. For now I will go with Dot Dot Dash. alizavdw@gmail.com
I really love the white stars. I think it has so many posibilities as far as colors that you could make a dozen and they would all look different :)
Radio Way! I love the color combination on your model in the book, but I will try to make one (or two) completely scrappy for my sons in college.
I love Box of Chocolates! Will be in my near future!!
I LOVE Raspberry Desserts! Such a visual feast. Pun originally not intended but now totally intended.
raspberry dessert!!
sammypoohperkins@gmail.com
I admire the Rasperry Dessert. The colors are so amazing pretty!
Box of chocolates - I love that I could cram in so many different pretty fabrics into the quilt
Love Stars & Stripes, great use for all my strings.
I like Four Patch Shift!
Thanks for the giveaway!
:-)
I love the Rasberry Dessert! Congrats on your new book :)
I think Boxed In is my favorite with Dot Dot Dash a close second.
Honestly I'm going to say out of the ones I've seen that Rasberry Dessert is my fav!!!! I LOVE the colors you chose with the design! AH-MAZING!!!!!
I like Box of Chocolates!
Raspberry Dessert in the ice color way is my current fav. Loving the book! Thank you for the chance to win such fun fabrics!
I have looked through my copy quite a few times, and keep coming back to Box of Chocolates, the design would suit so many fabric ranges.
Got my Hex N More ruler today and am loving it so far!
I like floating triangles. Lots of possibilities with different fabrics :)
Susanne
Box of Chocolate! I love lots of mixed colours and squares! So beautiful!
nerospost(at)gmail(dot)com
Raspberry dessert, then floating triangles.
Box of Chocolate is my favorite bc I love the vintage scrappy quilts and this is a modern twist on them.
Floating triangles is my favorite. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
My favorite pattern from the book is definitely Raspberry Dessert.
I love 'Raspberry Dessert' as I think it'll look great in so many different fabric combinations!
My favorite quilt is Raspberry Dessert. Blueberry Pie is a close second. This design would be great in so many color combinations. Thank you for the chance to win a great prize. Take care and God bless, Cory
I LOVE Raspberry Dessert.
My very fave is Floating Triangles. It would look soooooo awesome in either one of those giveaway prints, don't you think?
I love Raspberry Dessert, it's just beautiful!
Floating Triangles has little twists and turns and directionality to keep the eye moving.
Raspberry Dessert

I really like Rows of Bricks, and I think it would look neat in the yellows, blacks, and grays of Urbanista.
Dot Dot Dash is my favorite that I have seen so far. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
I'm in love with this book!! Its on my list to get!!! :)
My two favorites from it (because I really couldn't pick one) are the Box of Chocolates and the Four Patch Shift. I really love quilts with squares on them, but still have a unique design and thought, and these two don't disappoint!! :)
mrsrachelsbooth(at)gmail(dot)com
I love,love, love box of chocolates, it would be a great stash buster
I like Raspberry Dessert. When I first saw it I knew it could be really fun in a variety of colors, and your post the other day with color variations cinched it for me!
I like the offset triangles. looks so difficult and quirky!
I've been inclined to look more closely at Raspberry Dessert - it looks like it would be great fun to make!
My favorite would have to be Raspberry Dessert. It really jumped out at me and looks great in all of the different colors.
I like the mixed box of chocolates. I am usually a nuts and chews type of gal but I have some FQ to use up. Mix in a few solids it would be the perfect pattern.
Thanks!
I know you've heard it before but, I really do love all the quilts in this book Julie.
But, since you forced me too choose one; my favorite is still the cover quilt, the Four Patch Shift. I love how I can see a few different quilt patterns combined into this one quilt. You have done an amazing job combining them all and creating your own quilt design from those. Just beautiful.
Thank you for the great giveaway Julie and Fat Quarter Shop!
I love the rasberry dessert quilt.
Your book is really great! I love Framed Coins, there are so many possible colour-combinations.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite is the Raspberry Dessert (especially with the different color combinations you recently featured).
I have to say Raspberry Dessert is my favorite. The colors are so great together. I have a bedroom it would be perfect in.
Thanks so much for doing the give-away. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!
I love your quilt Box of Chocolates! The colors are so cheerful...this would make a cute loving gift at Valentines...I should get busy so I can 'treat' all of my loved ones.

Floating Triangles Is my favorite quilt. The colors and movements are Great
Do I have to pick just one favorite??? So far I'd have to say Box of Chocolates--love both the name and the opportunity to use lots of different fabrics in such an interesting way!
"box of chocolates" for sure (at least it's my favorite today!) thanks for the chance to win :)
Raspberry Dessert is fantastic! I keep thinking about all the different color-ways possible!
I love the Box of Chocolates pattern, it looks like a great way to use slightly large scraps in a composed way.
I love the box of chocolates!
Floating Triangles for sure!
I really like all of them but if I had to pick one it would be Raspberry Dessert. Love the colors on this one.
The framed coins IS my favorite! Jam a sucker for coin strips and use them quite often on the backs of QUILTS! it is a great way to use up scraps,,too!
Raspberry Dessert is my favorite, but I like them all and really would love having this book.
Thanks for the opportunity
hard to pick a favorite - they all look so fun to make! I'd say Raspberry Dessert is my favorite though.
I love the Raspberry Desert, it reminds me of a quilt my grandma gave me before she passed away, simple beautiful! eatkin85@yahoo.com
I love all the colors in Box of Chocolates.
Floating Triangles is my current favourite, perhaps because I have a stack of hst's just waiting to be made up into something.
Love Box of Chocolates the colorful squares drew me to them.
I could see myself making quite a few of the quilts in your book but I would have to say my absolute favorite is Raspberry Dessert with White Star being a close second. Thanks for the chance to win!

Raspberry Dessert is so pretty! I love the look, and colors.
I love framed Coins! It looks great with the blacks,whites and green! It looks simple enough for a beginner, but it is so awesome looking! I love your book! Can't wait till our local quilt shop gets it in!
I like the "Raspberry Dessert" quilt best, I think!
I really like White Stars. Thanks for a chance to win the book.
Box of chocolates is my favorite, versatile and would be great with so many different fabrics!
Raspberry dessert has been my favorite quilt of yours since you first posted it a long time ago - long before your book! I love the solid colors!
I love the raspberry dessert quilt. I really enjoy the play of color and the repeated design.
I just love Raspberry Dessert (although I always want to call it Raspberry Beret!).
It is a hard choice but for me it is Floating Triangles. i love the simplicity and want to make a quilt with a black background.

I liked White Stars right away. I like stars and love the colors that you used in that quilt! jrfisher14(at)gmail(dot)com
I really like the "Box of Chocolates" quilt!

I stumbled onto your site when I was looking for some help with binding. I love your tutorials, and I love what I've seen of your new book so far! I can't wait to get a closer look! So far, I think "Raspberry Dessert" is my favorite.
The raspberry dessert is stunning, but I really like the floating triangles for a quilt with no borders best
I love the framed coins quilt. I love anything with black and white plus one color.
Chicnfngas@yahoo.com
I love all the quilts I've seen so far, but my favorite is Raspberry Dessert! :) I love how the colors go so well together & the pattern is so visually appealing! :)
Raspberry Dessert is utterly amazing ! You couldn't have picked more perfect colors for it ! Can't wait to get my hands on a Hex n More ruler...
Difficult to choose just one favorite quilt... However, I'll go with Box of Chocolates because the variety of beautiful fabrics makes me feel, well, like I've received a box of chocolates.
Sara
LOVE the Raspberry Twist - it looks like more of a vintage pattern, but with modern fabrics it would look stunning!
ourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
WOuld have to be Raspberry Dessert! Love the pattern and LOVE the colors! thanks for the give away!
My favorite is Box of Chocolates. I love those bright fabrics you used, it's so happy and fun! I just love the squares within squares.
Floating triangles is one of my favorites. thanks for a chance to win.
I love the raspberry dessert quilt, but am most likely to make the dot dot dash quilt. Congrats on the book! Thanks for the giveaway.

I love Raspberry Dessert. The colours are gorgeous!
I love most of the ones I've seen but I keep going back to box of chocolates. Maybe it's the name. I don't know. Also, I've loved reading the questions you had for everyone so far. I'm surprised that so many use straight binding. Ever since I used your binding tutorials, I have used bias binding and love it. It is SO much easier to miter corners with it (also I've fallen in love with rounded corners). But someday I'm sure I'll only have strips or something and will be forced to go back to SOG.
I really like Box of Chocolates, can't wait to get a copy of your book.
I really like Box of Chocolates, can't wait to get a copy of your book.
Box of chocolates definitely. Love all the colours, and love your book.
Deborah
I love floating triangles! Thanks for the chance to win!
I really like the floating triangles. The lines make my eyes move around the quilt very fast. It's also a little masculine. This is a quilt that I'd make for my husband. jamie@mybabyjames.com
I like 'Floating Triangles' - I have some Kaffe Fassett 5" squares and some Kona Grey just waiting.......
Love to win!
I really like Four Patch Shift. The colors are wonderful.
I like Floating Triangles I love the way this triangels seen on the black farbric.
Have a nice day
my fav is Raspberry Dessert - actually I like your Granny Smith Apple version of this best.
Thanks!
Julie,
I love stars and strips, floating triangles, white stars and boxed in. Great book!

Have a great day.

I love Box of Chocolates!!
I like Floating Triangles. It looks like a fairly simple design but makes a statement with the brown!
cardenfran@gmail.com
I like Box of Chocolates. Such a happy mix of colors and shapes.
Oh my gosh - that Floating Triangles is GORGEOUS!!!!! Thank you for the opportunity!!!
I love "Framed Coins" and the colors you used are striking. I would love to make it in Greys and Yellows!
It's a great book overall, but my favorite is Raspberry Dessert. It looks so complex, but broken down into its component pieces, it's really simple.
