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.

    Your Regatta quilt is so lovely and calm, great color choices. Don't you love it when you have the perfect backing in your stash. The quilting is lovely and perfect. You are becoming quite a pattern writer!

    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

    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.

    Love the variety of look this pattern achieves. Looks like it would be a great "go to" quilt especially for the charity quilts I make.

    I can not believe how different your pattern looks by just changing the fabric. Fantastic

    Love the color palette of your Regatta quilt and the quilting. Double Up looks so different in the solids.

    Amazing how designers keep coming up with new ideas! Regatta is wonderful. Double Up is amazing - amazing how 3 quilts from the same pattern can look so different!

    I'm more a traditional quilter, but there are some aspects of modern quilting that I like.

    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.

    I am more traditional, but have joined a group from my guild who are trying some more modern looks.

    I love using modern fabrics with traditional quilt blocks in a modern layout. Hows that?

    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.

    Lovely pattern - I'm six of one and half a dozen of the other when it comes to Modern or Traditional! :)
