Regatta Quilt and a Giveaway!



Can I just say I LOVE this quilt!  Great idea, Roseanne, to host the Regatta Sew Along!  I decided to do some custom quilting on this one. I do love row quilting. There is something therapeutic about the repetitive motion. You can find the free pattern at Block M Quilts.



 I found this fabric at Joann's a while back and the colors were perfect! I was even able to get the pieces to line up so you can't really tell where the seam is.  Love that!


Giveaway Time!

 If you are searching for your next project, how about my new pattern?  Strip piecing makes this quilt quick and easy. Plus it's fat quarter and yardage friendly. The pattern comes in 5 sizes.  And the best part is I’m giving away my Double Up pattern to one lucky reader. The cover quilt is a twin size.
Here's a two color version in a lap size:


Myra at Busy Hand Quilts has made a baby version in this cute fabric and added a border:




Give away will close Thursday, Feb 15. Winner will be chosen randomly from confirmed entries through the rafflecopter form.  Winner will be announced on my blog next friday! And if you want the pattern and you don't win you can find it here.

  4. SHANNON!
    They turned out so great!! Don't you just love how you quilted them?! I'll bet they feel oh so good. You are making me want to make another so that I can quilt one like this and the other with little ~~~~~ waves. I love your pattern, too. I think I might NEED your new pattern regardless of whether I win or not. Is it in your Etsy shop? I don't see a link, but I'll check around. I'm SURE I can find it. I love your two versions - I can't decide which one I like most. I'm not a purple fan, but it sure is nice. ~smile~ Roseanne

  8. Wow! You have a bundle of and blessings with 8 children! Way to go Mom! I have 2 sons and they are my heart! I find myself being more of a modern quilt maker because I seem to make up my own rules as I go along.

  19. This is Danice from Homespun Hannah's Blog. Regatta is beautiful. Superb quilting. I love both traditional and modern quilting, and probably sew a close to equal number of each style.

  23. I love how you quilted the regatta quilt. Quilting in rows is one of my favorite things. I have no idea if I am modern or traditional. I just know I like making quilts.
