Awesome news, Fat Quarter Shop is giving away a $25 Gift Certificate at each stop on the Blog Tour, so read the details at the end about entering today's giveaway.
I was really smitten by this Balkan Puzzle, but desperately need a few pillows in my son's room and decided the Chunky Chevron would be a little more masculine. So here it is in Riley Blake's Wheels line.
I forgot to take pictures in daylight, so here it is on his bed, as we are packing & I am scrambling to get this updated before I leave! Excuse the poor lighting.
I think a quilt made of these squares would be really fun! Big strips of fun fabric, skinny strips of your neutral. Very cool!
Now, on to the Giveaway: I will make this super easy, just leave a comment! If you quilt tell me what quilt you are dying to make next (what fabric or blocks, or whatever), if you don't quilt, tell me what you like to sew, and if you don't sew, tell me what you would do with a $25 gift certificate at Fat Quarter Shop! I'll leave this open through Sunday, March 4 and announce the winner on Monday.
Best of luck,
Courtney
Enjoying discovering new blogs. Hoping to catch up on Amy's Block of the Month once my Boho fabric arrives.
ReplyDeleteI have four quilts in progress, a log cabin, pinwheel, stack an whack, and now BOM of Amy's at Craftsy. So much fun and so little time to do it all.
ReplyDeleteMy next project will be a baby quilt using the new Woodland Tails line. The little deer are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI want to do a mariners compass "old style" from templates ( I know, shudder, tremble, hiss:-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating! I am doing the Amy BOM and decided to make a lap size quilt in Chunky Chevron-red,yellow and green. Right now I am reclaiming my sewing room, rediscovering my stash and finishing UFO's. Have finally used all my fruit and vrgie marketplace prints in mug rugs, table runners two lap quilts and hot pads.
ReplyDeleteI have three applique quilts in progress along with following Amy's BOM. One I'm ready to put together once I buy batting. I will be using for the first time a variegated thread for the quilting.
ReplyDeleteI'm pondering making a quilt for my son from Parson Gray's Curious Nature... :) Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make the Debonaire Quilt sold at FQS. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am working on Craftsy BOM. My very first and I am enjoying it immensely. I'm sure I would use the gift to get more wonderful fabrics, maybe from a new designer for me! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute pillow! I signed up for the BOM, but haven't started any of the blocks yet. I'd also love to make the Swoon quilt!
ReplyDeleteI have so many quilts on my must-do list. Right now, Elizabeth Hartman's "Sparkle Punch" quilt is at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently doing a bed-sized disappearing 9 patch quilt and am participating in the Block of the Month quilt. I'd love to do a whole quilt in the Chunky Chevron square if I had the extra fabric!
ReplyDeleteHELLO! I'M WORKING ON A BLUE+WHITE CRIB SIZE QUILT FOR CHARITY-SO FUN! THANKS TO YOU+FQS FOR SHARING!
ReplyDeleteI'm a brand new quilter with not much sewing experience. One of my goals for 2012 is to try quilting. I hope I enjoy it as much as other people seem to!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a baby quilt for our first granddaughter using Fly A Kite fabric in mostly greens/aquas (no pinks for the mom). I'm loving the Craftsy BOM w/Amy, so fun and it's my first BOM!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a baby quilt for a friend last week but I have another to do for a baby due in early summer; her older kids love to read so I think I'm going to do it in Little Golden Books fabric from Quilting Treasures. I love FQS and could EASILY spend $25 ;>) Thanks for chance to win! Rhonda (marshudson at comcast dot net)
ReplyDeleteI am working on Amy's BOM - but want to start an artsy landscape quilt sometime very soon!!
ReplyDeleteI am working on several things right now as most quilters do.I am dying to design my own wizard of oz quilt.I am enjoying the tour!
ReplyDeleteI have several project in the wings but have purchased Kate Spain's Terrain for a Swoon quilt. Thanks for participating in the tour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pillow. You did a great job on that. I have to patterns I'm hoping to get started, both from Amanda Murphy. One is the Bejeweled and the other is, I think, Portraits of My Garden.
ReplyDeleteMy next project is a bed-sized quilt for my daughter. She'll pick the pattern and color scheme. I might be able to convince her to help me piece it.
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow, it looks really bold! I'm actually wanting to make something with the chevron blocks from the craftsy class.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a scrappy chevron and cascade. I'm going to try a hidden nine square next and catch up on the Craftsy BOM.
ReplyDeleteGreat pillow! I'm just waiting to finish some other projects so I can get to Swooning! I've had a stack of fabric ready and waiting for me to get to it...
ReplyDeleteI have too many UFO's to start anything new at the moment. I'm currently focusing on 'Tis the Season by Natalie Bird.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea of making a pillow! I love it. I am working on my second quilt. I have the quilt top done and I just have to quilt it. That is the scary part for me. The next quilt will be for my daughter and will have machine embroidered flower blocks.
ReplyDeleteI'd really love to make a churndash quilt. It has become one of my new favorite blocks.
ReplyDeleteright now I want to finish up several quilts - Swoon, sparkle QAL and strippy quilt that's been waiting patiently.
ReplyDeleteI would love to start a disapearring 9 patch with Riley Blake's:Scoot
ReplyDeleteI am starting a baby quilt using reds and aqua. I have been collecting fabric in these colors and now have the perfect opportunity to use them. Haven't decided on a pattern yet.
ReplyDeleteI have this pattern in my head for an octagon quilt. It's simple, using HSTs. Or a log cabin arrangement using 3 values. I don't know which one to do yet. But while I wait for the opportunity to get the fabrics for it, I am working on the craftsy BOM!
ReplyDeleteI've just seen a disappearing nine patch for the first time this morning and now I want to make this as well as a chunky chevron quilt. I love that you thought the block repeated block in a larger quilt too!
ReplyDeleteI just purchased a pattern for my ereader. I'd love to figure it out and get one made this weekend. Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteCurrently, I have a quilt top in progress using orange fabrics and the snail's trail block. I'm enjoying the impact colour value has in this simple block and the secondary pattern that occurs when the blocks are placed next to one another.
ReplyDeleteI am working on Amy Gibson's Craftsy's block of the month, along with other quilts. The next big quilt I want to make is another Blooming Nine Patch. I think it is the prettiest quilt pattern around. Love it! Fun to make, to.
ReplyDeleteThank you for participating in the Blog of the Day. I enjoyed your blog and will continue to read about your comings and goings. Thanks for this giveaway, too!
I have several projects going at one time. I love to make pillow cases and baby items. I am getting more and more into quilting because my mother is a huge quilter and I have been accompanying her to her weekly quilting session. I like making bags too. So I guess I quilt and sew. The log cabin is my favorite block because of all the ways you can make a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI am working on the Craftsy BOM. I am doing this with my mother. It is a great way to spend time together. I have a quilt top out of denium I need to get the back on I hope I can find time this summer.
ReplyDeleteI am hankering to get started on a granny square quilt. I am going to make it in the same colors as our granmdmother's afghan, which was unusual I that the smashing was gold, not black.
ReplyDeleteI have some Lorax fabric that will be used in my next quilt which I hope to start in a week or so.
ReplyDeleteI want to make new pillows for my couch. I love the ones you made.
ReplyDeleteI found you through Fresh Lemons........and I love fat quarter shop, very cool fabric for modern quilters!!
ReplyDeleteI want to make a quilt of LARGE zig zags! One for my living room, and one for my best friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet a pillow! I just completed 2 quilts and now will work on a design out of 2.5 inch strips.
ReplyDeleteI am doing Amy's block of the month on Crafty and watched the March BOM last night. Tonight I am making the two blocks. The string block and the broken spider block. They are my favorites so far. Can't wait to finish them and post them. The fat quarters would be great for these blocks.
ReplyDeleteI just finished a lap quilt for my Aunt's 80th birthday - the pattern was a string quilt and it turned out beautifullly. She did not expect this gift and it tickled me pink when she called me long distance to say it arrived (one day before her special day!!)
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm looking forward to making a birthday quilt for my niece using some of the adorable Children At Play fabric. She loves anything girly and pink, so I know it will be a hit!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying hard to be good and finish a few quilts before starting on something new. Tomorrow will start handquilting feathers, a first for me. It will be a challenge. And, I may pull out a set of blocks and NOT follow directions so can finish it. Then, new projects here I come.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow turned out great for your son! The next quilt I'm planning is a log cabin made with Blueberry Crumb Cake fabric!
ReplyDeleteI've just started working on cutting out squares to make the Granny Squares Quilt from Blue Elephant Stitches. I love the quilt (and the California Girl fabric collection), so I'd love to win and put the money toward CG yardage when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteI am an avid quilter - when not being mom to 4 youngsters! - I need to make another baby quilt and will use the GC for that purpose. Thanks for the chance to win! Shelly
ReplyDeleteI love sewing in almost any form as well as other yarn crafts! I am currently hand quilting a tiedye butterfly quilt, piecing a lime square quilt, machine stitching a recycled jeans window quilt and gathering supplies to make more! I also am following this craftsy BOM for the first time and its great!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm more of a quilter, but I do dabble in sewing up other little projects and accessories. I really want to make Bow on Top by It's So Emma. It's just so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt out of French General fabrics. Okay, a quilt for every line they've done. Hmm... 200 quilts, right? So doable :) I'd also love to make a skirt out of the Half Moon Modern zig zag fabric.
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I would immediately start a scrappy triangle quilt, but I have three UFOs to finish first :-( Why is starting so much more exciting than finishing?? Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cushion, I need to practice more and these blocks are perfect with Amy's great tutorials.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing Amy's block of the month blocks and they are so fun! I am also just getting started on a Lorax quilt - so cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being part of the BOM tour. Right now I am working a growth chart for my grandsons.
ReplyDeleteLet's see...Just joined BOM at Shabby Fabric : Merry, Merry Snowmen, finishing up queen size quit that I'm quilting by machine ( my very first quit) in the process of sewing together a lap quit called Gumdrops using fabric line: Ruby by Bonnie & Camille and LOVING it!
ReplyDeletePlus taking the free class at Craftsy, too bad I still have to work 30 hrs. a week cause I could use that time to create more.
To the question what would I do if I won this fabric, teaching my 13 yr. old granddaughter how to sew and she could use it for her first quilt.
Thank you for the chance to win...Tee
Thanks so much for sharing! I love learning the new ways to do things and the BOTM is great for that. I'm having lots of fun too!
ReplyDeleteI love Rileys Pillow.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am quilting a baby blanket for one of my nephews first baby with HST. And my son and I sew and sell civil war shirts, trousers, frock coats and shell jackets. I am putting braid on a shell jacket right now.
If I won this fabric I would probably make a quilt for one of my great neices or nephews
Very nice pillow and it is nice to see something for the men. Most of what I see are usually pretty girly. I will be working on some spring wall hangings for my kids houses next.
ReplyDeleteI am working on a quilt with Amy Butler fat quarters! The top is done and now its just needs to be quilted.
ReplyDeleteOK Courtney, here goes
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney
I'm not a blogger, so my comments won't register on your webpage. Isn't there some other way that us non-bloggers can contribute except by email? I'm a retired teacher who likes to do many crafty things, including sewing and quilting. I'm following Craftsy's BOM using a variety of batiks. I have so many ideas, as I'm sure many people do, and now I'm working on some pajama bags for my niece's two little ones, age 2 and 4. They like monkeys so they're in the shape of a monkey. I don't have any grandchildren yet, so I have to divert my creative juices to my sister's grandchildren. I like your Spoonflower fabrics. Spoonflower is such a great website with so many creative people contributing. I wish I had the knowledge to do that!

I love how your chunky chevron turned out! Right now I'm just trying to catch up with all of the blocks for the Craftsy BOM class before I start on any new quilts. In the meantime, I'm going to cut out a couple of skirts this weekend to stitch up for spring! Thanks for participating in the blog tour :)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of quilts on my to-do list. I'd love to make a quilt with some of the beautiful bright fabrics that are out now. I'm also taking several BOM programs, two quilting ones, an applique and an embroidery BOM. What's one more project? hehe.
ReplyDeleteThank you and FQS for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

I had kind of drifted away from quilting to make lots of purses and other short-term projects. Now I'm anxious to use one of the patterns I've accumulated over the past few years. I think I'll make a Jelly Girl quilt next, from Fig Tree Quilts. Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your pillow! That is the block I am dying to try! What quilt do I want to do next? More like, what quilt DON'T I want to try! I think I am going to work on a quilt kit that DH gave me for Christmas. It is a wall hanging that will be perfect in my craft room.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a scrappy quilt with Christmas fabrics. Love Christmas fabric. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy next quilt will be Impromptu by Rachel Griffith. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt that has applique or paper piecing on it. I love to learn new techniques!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to start Starry-Eyed with the Sweetwater Christmas fabrics. It was a Moda Bakeshop pattern, but of course, have several things going right now that need to be finished first! Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI really want to make a zigzag quilt. I haven't figured out the fabrics yet, but that chunky chevron block is calling me. I never would have thought to make a chunky zigzag but I love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing Amy's BOM as well. I agree, the video format is great. I've sewn all my life but have only recently started quilting, so the tutorials help me understand quilt construction. Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I'm doing Amy's BOM, another BOM from Sentimental Stitches, a paper-piecing quilt wall hanging, a trash to treasure scrap quilt- I love having different projects so I never get bored! I'm getting EQ7 for my birthday this week and can't wait to experiment with that!
ReplyDeleteI love the pillow you made. I recently made a quilt block for a pillow too, just haven't finished it yet. I'm a newbie to quilting so I haven't completed any quilts yet. But I'm in the process of making shirts for my boys. :)
