I've managed to finish this quilt top!! Woo-Hoo!! The pattern from Piece O Cake called for binding after the applique blocks, but I felt it needed a little more. The blue border is made by
Blue Hill fabric, which by the way I love!! I'm thrilled there is another manufacturer whose fabric is wonderful to work with. This quilt is machine appliqued.
I first saw this quilt hanging at a quilt show and when I posted in on my blog mentioned how much I love it. Karen at
Log Cabin Quilter had started this quilt and offered to pass me the patterns. I think she is very close to finishing her top too. Thank you Karen for your generosity. It's my turn to pass them on. If you'd like to win these please leave a comment and I'll draw a name Saturday morning. There are 12 patterns and each one has the block for the main quilt and another project. Did I mention how much I love this quilt!!!??!!
See this little stack of three quilt tops? That is all that is in the "to quilt" pile!!!! I've really been trying to stay focused on finishes and no new starts. BUT, I do plan on joining in on
Bonnie's mystery quilt which will be posted later this week. I'm hoping to stash bust some oldies and some uglies. I've always admired her mystery quilts but have never did one of hers. I'm so excited!!
Be sure to comment for a chance to win the patterns!!
I can see why you love that quilt so much, it is wonderful! Hope I win.....

I would love to win the patterns. My son is a history buff. Just turned 18 and this quilt would be perfect for him. Something he would truly treasure forever. Chris loves Civil War history and anything about our country's history. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori, I love your quilt! I don't want the patterns, but just wanted to tell you that. :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely top! Please stop mentioning Bonnie's mystery as I just started another one and I don't have time for it but I am sooo tempted ;-)
ReplyDeleteAmazing work on your beautiful quilt! I hope to start Bonnie's mystery, too...I did it last year and its addicting and so much fun!

ReplyDeleteOH! I hope I win the patterns! I have some of the patterns but haven't been able to find them all. I pull them out of my pattern drawer often and fawn over them and put them back. I have started thinking I may just make what I have and make up blocks to fill in the empty spots.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteWell you have plenty of tops to complete. It is hard not to get involved in all of the new projects in blog land. Bonnie's Mystery quilt sounds like fun. I would love to make that quilt, it is nice of you to pass the patterns along. I have a bit of a stash of red, white and blue. I might have to stop over at your other blog now that we are getting closer to holiday time!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on your quilt! I'd love to be included in your give-away. I can't believe I missed this Piece 'O Cake pattern.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great pattern...I must have been focused on finishes when that one came out (that is my story and I'm sticking to it!)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do Bonnie's mystery this year too...so far I've started 3 and finished one - hoping to improve my "stats!"
The quilt is gorgeous! I'd love a chance to win the patterns. I'm also going to be making Bonnie's mystery quilt. Can't wait to get started on it...like I needed another project! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt and I would love to make one. I also promise to pass the pattern along after making the quilt. What a fun way to share quilting with others.

Wow that top looks beautiful!! I think the extra blue border is perfect.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I like it - as a Canadian I can't picture myself making it - so don't put my name in for the giveaway.
It will be fun to watch your progress with Bonnie's mystery quilt!
As have never made a quilt like this one (actually, haven't made that many altogether), it would be good to challenge myself using your tried and true patterns. That Insane quilt is Plenty wonderful! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Please enter me into your drawing.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful! I would love to win the pattern. I will be joining Bonnie's Mystery Quilt as well. Sounds like a good way to use up some stash and get a great quilt as a reward. Thanks for the offer.
ReplyDeleteOh, please, please, please enter me into the contest. I will gladly pass it on when I am finished. And I will finish this one. Just love it!
ReplyDeleteNeed to go find the fabric for Bonnie's quilt in a little bit. I need some more stash busted!
Oh I would love to make that quilt. I have already been looking at the patterns. I can see why you love that quilt. I loved it the first time I saw the patterns. Boy do I hope I win them.
ReplyDeleteOohh! I would love to win them! Count me in :o) Your quilt turned out lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I'd love to try to make it too! I'm thinking about Bonnie's next mystery too. :-) Have a happy day and thanks for the fun!
ReplyDeleteLori, I would so love to make this quilt. My husband and I are both veterans and I have not been able to find a pattern that I like in the Americana style. I love how you made yours and I thank you for the chance.

All it took was for me to see "Giveaway" on your thumbnail and I flew over here!! I LOVE the quilt, Lori. But then your work is always stunning. I love Blue Hill, too, and I see he took some designers with him when he left Windham! A little competition is always good for us consumers.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is so gorgeous! Love it. Have been looking at this pattern several times...
ReplyDeleteI woud love to make this quilt :o)
It is a lovely patriotic quilt. Thanks for the offer, I'd love to win!

ReplyDeleteLove what you did by adding borders. Hope I'm the lucky one!
ReplyDeleteOh it is beautiful! I love it. I have 3 or 4 of the patterns and had hoped one day to make a 4 block version - but as other things, it is still sitting there waiting!
ReplyDeleteHi Lori! I found your site from a link on Bonnie's site, and I am also planning to join in the fun of doing her mystery quilt for the first time. I love your "Land of the Free" quilt! And the border is perfect! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Please throw my name in the hat! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAfter such a stunning finish on the top, I think it's only fair you get to start a new one, especially good when it's a stash buster. What a lovely idea to pass the patterns on but don't put me in the draw, I'm have a huge list to work on.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilt, Lori! I am always inspired by you.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt. I love your blog and your work. I would love to win the pattern for this quilt. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern and actually used the ship in a quilt I made...a Baltimore Album style. Thanks for the chance to win all the blocks! I will pass them on to, I do win!! Sandy

ReplyDelete"How does she do this?" were my thoughts when I saw your latest quilt top. I LOVE all things Piece O Cake and would really like to make an applique quilt. This would be a great project. Love your little stack of quilts to be quilted stack too. Curious though, how many hours a week do you work on quilting projects?
