Today is my stop on Emily's Pixel Play Blog Tour! Emily is the genius behind Carolina Patchworks. Also today happens to be her stop on my blog tour! :-)
Pixelate your patchwork...one strip at a time
Piece together fabric strips in a whole new way. Pixelated imagery is part of our pop culture-now quilters can bring it to their family with these cheerful quilt designs using their favorite solid colors. Use this unique style of strip piecing to make pictures of friendly fish, dastardly pirates, and beautiful butterflies much more fun!
• Kids of all ages (and grown-ups too) will love these quilts for the crib, the bed, or just for snuggling
• Easy to strip and sew with handy cutting guides and Kona color charts
• Designs include a fish bowl, flower gardens, a treasure map, and even an aerial view of the town center
The Quilts in the book are SO much fun. I'm excited to get started on one very soon! Emily asked me to channel my inner child and decide what quilt I would have wanted as a child. It wasn't hard since I am still a kid at heart!!
I love this Ambrosia Quilt!
I also have my eye on Deception Cove
You may be wondering why I have my eye on two "boy" quilts?... My Brother & Sister-in-law are expecting a third child very soon!! Elijah and Aliyah are going to have a little brother.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 260 of 260Can't go wrong with Deception Cove!
Awww, a nephew!! How exciting for your family :-)
I think Pixelville is perfect for a boy!
I vote for Deception Cove - ARR-right?
I love Deception Cove. Thanks for the giveaway.
Pixelville would be so much fun to play on. This is a very cute book. I am going to recommend it for the shop I work at.

Hello, I think Deception Cove is really cool, but I think a boy will have more fun playing and driving his cars on Pixelville. Besides, what mom wouldn't want her little one occupied a little bit longer so she can get dinner on the table.
I would do Deception Cove...if I thought I could! Lolnbut they areboth really great!
I pick Pixelville. I can just imagine all the neat green fabrics to use in it.
Pixelville! Thanks
I'm thinking...... Deception Cove!
both are awesome but as I dearly want to make pixelville for my new grand, I'd recommend that one! How cool is that!!
I'd go for Pixelville for sure!
If you are making the quilt for a child that still loves to play, I would definitely make Pixelville. My kids would have loved that quilt to play on with their cars, both my son and daughter!
I just love the uniqueness of these quilts!
Pixelville! I could see a little boy laying outside playing with on it.
I say Pixelville.
What a cool book! I love quilts like this and would love to win the book and try the patterns!
Since my grandson is all in to cars and trucks, I say make Pixelville!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Julie congratulations! A new nephew how great is that!
I love both of the quilts but I think a little one would love to drive his cars on the city streets of Pixelville!!
Pixelville...I've got my eye on that one too!
Tough choice! Pixelville is my favorite, but a new baby on the way would be the sweet quilt! Thank you for sharing...Judith, Tesxas
Congratulations to your brother and sister-in-law, and to you of course!!
You would most certainly choose one with Elijah and Aliyah in mind and then, I think, you would go for Pixelville.
Gotta vote for Pixelville. Looks like hours of fun to play on it.
Looking forward to meeting you in Narberth tomorrow.
I like Pixelville! I have a little boy that would absolutely adore that quilt! Thanks for the chance to enter!
I'd love to see your rendition of deception cove! Thanks for the chance to win some of these fun goodies!
I vote for Pixelville, because I think you can get more play mileage from that one.
I LOVE Pixelville. So wonderfully boy! And, congratulations on becoming an aunt three times over. :)
Definitely Pixelville. You get twice the bang for your buck - a quilt for warmth and a town complete with roads for car and truck play on a rainy day!
I think a combination of both would be very cute and kids could play on the streets with cars and on the water with toy shis. They are both so cute if my son was small I would have to make one for him.
kathy
Oh my they are both adorable I do love Pixelville the best and I think I would have fun playing with my grandchild on it with little cars too.
Thanks so much for the chance to win
what great prizes :0)
Happy Sewing
Tough choice! But I'd go Deception Cove - I think it would be a lot more fun to watch the pattern come together.
I love pixelville! thanks for the chance
Pixelville gets my vote... I love quilts kids can play with
Julie, I'm voting for Pixelville. What little boy wouldn't just love it??
I like them both but I think you should go with Deception Cove. Thanks for the giveaway!
Deception Cove for sure! how cute is that quilt?! arrrrrr! :)
How about Deception Cove? But I'm sure whichever quilt you make will be beautiful!

I vote pixelville. Classic boy. And I'm feeling over-saturated by pirates lately.
LOVE deception cove!! thanks for the chance to win! What a different way to think about quilting....has me thinking now....maybe a pixelized Harry Potter quilt? could be cool....
Pixelville! It looks like a lot of fun.
Both are awesome choices! I would say Deception Cove for now, and then Pixelville for when baby is older. :)
Pixelville...without a doubt. It is too cute!
Ooh tough decision! But I think I'd go with Pixelville as it'd be such a great play mat. Or if you really can't decide - perhaps both and one could be a big-sibling gift;)
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this idea! I think you should do the Deception Cove since you have a new baby boy in the future from your sister!

Both look great, but I think your kids would have more fun with pixelville, or maybe try doing your own neighborhood, what fun would that be!!!!!!
Deception Cove for sure!
I vote for deception cove. A giant treasure map is always cool. It would be fun to take on a picnic and use it to find hurried treasure.
Love deception cove!
Love your blog!
I'd love to win!
Pixelville is awesome-a little boys dream!
Deception Cove! Love that pattern!
Pixelville! Super cute!
I wish I had these when my boys were little. now I need to start for my grandkids.especially the Pirate Cove.
I named the quilt wrong, just reminded me of Pirates. instead of Deception Cove,so sorry.
Aarrghhg Pirates rule! Deception Cove, shiver me timber!
That's the one u should make!
congrats to your brother and his fam.
Hedy
I think that Pixelville would entertain them for hours. My vote is there. I would love to win one also.
Pixelville is the one. If I do not win a book. I am going to buy the book so I can make Pixieville. I have had 4 boys that have been born in the family this summer. This quilt will be perfect for them. Thank you for the giveaway
Don't know where my comment from yesterday went. I voted for Pixelville since it looks like hours of fun could be had on it.
So nice meeting you at Cloth and Bobbin today. I loved picking out the fabrics for your Wonton pattern and am looking forward to starting it soon. Hope your trip home goes smoothly.
Pixelville! What a fun quilt for boys!
I love Pixelville. So darn cute.
Deception Cove! What little boy wouldn't love pirates and the dread pirate Roberts!
