Sweetheart Quilt {and giveaway}

Happy Valentine's Day!

It just so happens that I have a very sweet quilt to share with you today... my Sweetheart Quilt!



Quilt Details 
Pattern - Sweetheart - Found in the Spring 2013 Generation Q Magazine
Designed by me
Quilted by me
Started on 11/2/12
Finished on 11/6/12
Quilt measures - 40" x 46"


The Sweetheart Quilt pattern is in the Spring 2013 issue of Generation Q Magazine. It just started popping up in Quilt Shops a few days ago and will be on newsstands soon. The pattern uses my Hex N More Ruler & I also included templates in the magazine too.

I originally designed and made this quilt for Aliyah. It was supposed to be a present before her new baby brother arrived. You'll have to read the article in GenQ to find out how they ended up with the quilt!!

I couldn't resist photographing it with our Radio Flyer wagon. The wagon is forever a classic just like the book Oh, the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss!! I love that book and look forward to giving this quilt to Aliyah.

To make this quilt you need 9 fat quarters, background fabric & binding. I used the 9 fat quarters in this bundle and saved the panel for another project.

  1. My favorite is One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. I remember my Momma reading it to me when I was little. I passed that same book on to my kids, and now soon my first grand baby. This would be perfect to make for her.

  7. I love Go Dog Go! I love the line Do you like my hat? Just a funny book. Happy Valentines Day

    ReplyDelete
  8. I love The Cat in the Hat! I remember being able to compare the characters to my family. My little sister was damaging enough to be thing one and thing two, my older brother was the kids so easily convinced to wreak havoc, and I was like the fish, trying to no end to talk sense into them. Ha! Beautiful quilt. Email is: briw10@hotmail.com

  9. My favorite is a toss up between The Lorax and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Both were great books with a positive message.

    ReplyDelete
  10. My favorite has to be Horton Hears a Who, it is sort of sad... But as a kid, I loved the idea that there could be a whole world on a flower.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Wow, such a hard choice they're all awesome. I'd probably have to go with How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I top my tree with a Grinch and am actually in the process of collecting Grinch ornaments to make a Grinch tree.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Gorgeous quilt - would love to make one of these. My favourite Dr Seuss book is Oh, the places you'll go, just because I think it gives children the idea they can do anything if they try.

  14. The only Dr. Seuss book I have read for my kids is Hop on Pop, so I guess that will have to be my favorite.

    Another fun thing is that I used black-on-white Dr. Seuss fabric for Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt 'Easy Street' this winter.

    Happy Valentine's Day!

  16. My favorite is The Cat in the Hat because (many years ago) when I would read it to my son he would always ask me to read it again. That time with him snuggled on my lap was the best!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Oh the place you'll go is a great a favorite book. Love the whole bundle of goodies.

    ReplyDelete
  18. For today I will say The Foot Book. It was one of my daughter's favorites for some reason. We read it over and over and over... you get the picture ;) My choice tomorrow could be something different :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love The Sneeches and Other Stories. I can recite all 23 Daves would-be names.

    Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Valentine's Day!

    ReplyDelete
  20. My favorite book is the Oh The Thinks You Can Think. Persoanlly I think it encourges creativity and imagination. Don't know what the experts say but that is my opinion. And those are both big things in my world. I encourage mychildren to be unique and creative and to learn to express themselves for who they are not what the world around them wants them to be. conn_and_vans_mom(at)yahoo(dot)com

  21. I'm gonna have to go with Green Eggs and Ham, just because of the Sam I Am parts :-). Thanks for the give away!

Love all your work, Julie..this Valentine quilt is adorable..

    ReplyDelete
  25. Oh my! I absolutely love that quilt, it's precious! My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Horton Hears A Who, because it reminds children that they're important and can make a difference no matter how great or small.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Green Eggs and Ham - just has a nice ring to it when you read it! And what a nice surprise to wake up to on Valentine's - great quilt pattern! Happy Valentine's Day to you, and hope you're feeling better.

  27. My favorite Dr. Seuss book has always been The Grinch, because do the message and my favorite non-Christmas book would be One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish simply because of how it rolls off the tongue.

    ReplyDelete
  28. What a great giveaway!! I love your quilt. I have two favorite Dr. Seuss books. One is Oh, The Places You'll Go, because my daughter requested that me & her dad/my DH write in it for her college graduation. The second is Horton Hears a Who, because when I was in early elementary school, my parents signed me up for a French class. To get in, we had to remember to say, "Bonjour Mademoiselle Whatever Your Name Is". I could never remember that, so went into the room with all the Dr. Seuss books, and Horton was a favorite read.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Green Ham and Eggs Definetly. I have fun reading this to my Grandkids. We laugh and have fun together with this story. I love the quilt pattern.

  30. My favorite is One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, because my sisters used to read it to me when I was little. abengel(at)zoominternet(dot)net

  31. I hate to admit it, but I don't care for Dr. Seuss. I do, however, love this quilt kit giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I was a school librarian for seven years, so it is very hard to narrow down to one choice. If forced - I would say The Sneetches because it is a hilarious book, but gives such an important message about not judging by outside appearance. A very good book to use to fight the "us" and "them" mentality - but all wrapped up in fun! thanks for the amazing giveaway!! Hope you are on the mend!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Love your heart quilt! I appreciate heart quilts that aren't too heart-y. My favorite is The Cat in The Hat Comes Back. Mostly because I discovered this week that my not-quite-2-year-old can recite it in its entirety. "Cat! You get out! There is work to be done!"

    ReplyDelete
  34. One fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is my favorite because I read every day to my grandson! He loves pointing to the different sayings! Thanks for the great giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  35. My favorite it is Green Eggs & Ham. I have a video of my son trying to read it when he was 3, cutest thing ever. It seems to have been a favorite for all three of my kids too.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love If I Ran The Circus, the imagination that must have been behind the story, all the crazy whimsical characters! And I really love how it reads in verse!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Can't believe I have to choose. Ok my favourite would have to be the Lorax because who can resist a funny fluffy fellow that speaks for the trees. Beautiful quilt design.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I love The Lorax. I like the environmental message and it was one of the first books I remember going to the library and getting for me to read to myself. Love the quilt it is so bright and cheerful.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The most applicable to my life today is I Am Not Going To Get Up Today. I think it sums up a case of the Mondays well! The first one to pop into my head, though, was Yertle the Turtle. I always liked the message, even if I was guilty of disobeying it frequently.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Have to be Dr. Seuss' ABC Book. My daughter at age 2 could recite that book from memory and learned her ABC's on that book. She is now almost 21. It was by far her favorite which in turn has alot of memories for me. Beautiful quilt. Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  41. My favorite Dr Seuss book is "Go, Dog, Go!" because it was read to me as a child and I read it to my daughters and agin to their children. Now my grandchildren are reading it to me over and over. Hopefully, I'll get to repeat the process with my greats!

  45. I absolutely adore the Butter Battle book by Dr Suess! I love how it shows that tiny little differences separate us but if we just accept them instead of view them narrowly we can come together as one. manpha324 at gmail dot com

    ReplyDelete
  46. When I was little I loved The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham but now that I'm a mom and have read so many of his books over and over again it's hard to pick a favourite. One Fish, Two FIsh, Red Fish, Blue Fish is one that everyone in the family enjoys, so I'll go with it.

    We had a very worn copy when I was little, but I've never seen it anywhere else.

    Thanks for the chance to win.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Green Eggs and Ham. I used to run a home daycare, and I would make Green eggs and ham for the kids each year. I read the book to the kids and did a whole theme on this for them. The kids really got into the book. If I am the lucky winner I would prefer the pastel.

    ReplyDelete
  65. EEk!...I never was a fan of Dr. Seuss...(shudder, gasp) I know, I know...but I would love to get my hands on that bundle!!! Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  66. My favorite is "My Book about Me" - my parents gave it to me when I was about 7 and I filled in all the blanks (all in one day) and kept the book. I kept looking back at it over the years, and made sure to add it to my baby registry when my son was born. He now has his own copy he has started to fill in - and loves to read and compare to mine.

  71. What a clever quilt! My favorite Dr. Seuss book is The Sneetches because it teaches that being who you are is good enough, chasing the latest trend &trying to be like everyone else is pointless. Those sneetches learn that it's okay to be different & still get along. I think I also learned to be a careful consumer from that book.

    ReplyDelete

  74. The Lorax - Dr. Suess was way ahead of his time with that one, I think. :)

    ReplyDelete
  75. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Oh the Places You'll Go. This is the book that my daughter's 5th grade teacher read to her class when they had their promotion ceremony. I have always remembered the time she took to read it and the encouragement she gave the kids as they move up to middle school because middle school is a bit scary these days.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  134. I love Dr. Seuss books so picking a favorite is difficult. Probably The Grinch though because it shows that kindness and faith can help one overcome evil.

  135. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. As a child I was an extremly picky eater and this book still reminds me that even if the new food doesn't look great it can still taste wonderful!!

  137. It's hard to choose, but I feel like The Lorax has such a great message that stands the test of time. And teaching kids about caring for the environment is so important. Thanks!

  139. What a wonderful giveaway!
    It's hard to pick just one favorite Dr. Seuss book but Wacky Wednesday would have to be near the top. Mainly because my kids used to literally lol when we read this book when they were toddlers and they loved to point out all of the "wacky" stuff. :)

  148. I like The Foot Book. I love all the different feet in it, with fuzzy fur feet being my favorite. :)
    And it is not too long. Some of his books are TOO long.
    When I was a kid, my sister's dance teacher had them do a dance to that book. She was "here come clown feet". My mom spray painted a pair of her old sneakers green for my sister to wear and clomp around in.
    Good times. :)

  151. Green Eggs and Ham, because it is the one I am most familiar with. My girls were not big Dr. Seuss fans....
    Your quilt is so cute, and I may have a new grandbaby soon.... so it would be perfect!
    Thanks for the chance.

  152. My favorite is Bartholemew and the Oobleck. I remember reading it a bunch as a child and I always thought it was so fun. I also like it because it isn't one of the most well known Dr. Suess books.

  153. I love all of Dr. Seuss, but Green Eggs and Ham and How the Grinch Stole Christmas are my most favorites!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  155. My favorite is "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?"
    My mom used to read it to me all the time when I was little. Now I've got twin one year olds and this book is the one that holds their attention the longest. They love hearing all the different sounds.

  166. Lovely blog! Just found it today in my hunt for good quilting blogs.

    My favourite Dr. Seuss book will always be The Sneetches & Other Stories. The moral of The Sneetches is very important for children to learn - we are all equal. In the same book is The Zax which is a great humorous, cautionary tale about being too stubborn. In What Was I Scared Of we're all reminded that what looks different isn't necessarily bad or scary. These stories have the playful language and whimsical illustrations that make us all love Dr. Seuss and messages that never go out of style. My mom read them to me countless times over the years and I, of course, read them to my kids. :)

  169. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Go, Dogs, Go because it is all about the dog party. One of my three girls had it memorized and almost convinced us she could read at a very young age.

  178. My favorite Dr. Seuss book is the Lorax. I live in BC, Canada and forestry/logging is a HUGE industry here. To me, it hit close to home that we have to respect the land and what it can give us. Look after the land and it will look after us.

  181. Hi Julie,

    My favorite Dr. Seuss book is Green Eggs and Ham. That was my precious son Ethan's favorite book, and between my husband and I, we must have read it over 100 times. Ethan passed away two years ago, and so, when I think of that book, it brings a smile to my face. :)

    Thank you for this giveaway! I love the quilt! (and the ruler too)

  187. I love The Sneeches. As an adult it is because it teaches children that you don't always have to try to be like everyone else. As a kid...just loved hearing the phrase "Star bellied Sneetches had bellies with stars. Plain bellied Sneetches had none upon thars."

  188. My favorite is Green Eggs and Ham. I had it as a recording when I was a child and I loved the rythm of it!

  190. I probably read Green Eggs and Ham to my son a million times. Now he's reading it to his son. Love the pattern - like all your others!

    ReplyDelete
  191. One of my favourites is 'If I Ran the Zoo'. I can't imagine the number of times I've read Dr. Seuss books since I had five boys who always loved to be read to. This book was one that they enjoyed when they were 'too old' for the younger Seuss favourites like 'Cat in the Hat' and 'Green Eggs and Ham'.

    ReplyDelete
  192. My favorite Seuss book is Oh The Places We Will Go! I gave this book to my son on his high school graduation day. I always taught him to be positive and keep pushing forward no matter what. I am happy to say he still has his copy of this book and now reads it to his students to encourage them. What a blast it would be to win this fabric and make him a quilt for his classroom!
