my fave patterns are:
holiday lights
welcome home
deck the halls
ashley’s flower basket
jessica’s flower basket
i like applique and quilts with small repeats! how sad is that!!!
My top 5 are :
larisa keys – in a pickle -like the colours in this quilt and the design- love making flying geese very easy whiz up lots in a day
Ricky Timms – Mi Cabana – stunning colours and log cabin is one of my favourites
Sue Nickels – circle round the stars – I like piecing and applique together- as with my last 2 quilts
Joen Wolfrom – Trellis Garden -like the easy 2 block pattern- beautiful colour combination
Larisa Keys – charm play and nine patch charm walk – I love charm packs and am addicted to buying them- these 2 patterns are lovely to use up my packs
There are many beautiful patterns, but my favorites are: Holiday Lights, Starburst Compass, Charm Parade, and Arabian Nights. Each are different designs, but I found the designs striking. They would also work well with a variety of colors & prints. I’d actually love to blog about them too, as well as make quilts with these lovely designs!

I am an applique nut so my choices reflect that addiction
Rabbit Racks by Charlotte Warr Anderson
Ashleys Flower Basket by Sue Nicols
Poinsettia Christmas by Cindy Walters
I’m a star lover so my choices tend to reflect that. That said, here is my list
Larissa Key — In a Pickle is stunning. I’m in awe of it but it’s nothing I’d try — at least not in that size.
Alex Anderson’s Star Flowers is star simplicity and charm using the 30’s reproduction fabrics, which I enjoy working with.
Joen’s Dancing Under the Midnight Sun is stunning in blues and golds (and it is star-like). I also have 2 of yours not shown that are on my “someday” list: Pathway to the Stars and Pocetfull of Stars.
Mine would be Star Echoes, Star Flowers and Star Party. What I like best about these quilts is Stars!
Welcome Home – LOVE the name, love the colors, love that it just says Home is warm, inviting and someplace where everyone wants to be.
Kids Night In – The bright colors are so far out of my box, it just looks like fun!
Forever Friends – the pattern shows the blocks so in line with each other yet separate, a true friendship.
Cherry Delight – Haven’t done a Redwork, but it’s on my list.
Love them all!! But those are the ones that caught my eye this morning!! THanks for the giveaway!
Mi eleccion de favoritos: Cesta de flores de Ashley
teclas de Larisa
Luces de Navidad
Wolfrom Río
Deck the halls
I’ve picked out these three:
Forever friends: I like the consistant background and the look of elegance with the pattern and colors on this one.
Bee Charmer: So very cute, esp with the flowers in the corners.
Poinsettia Christmas: I decorate the kitchen with poinsettia themed things and this would be perfect to dress the table.
I like mixed techniques. Top 3 pattern are: In a Pickle, Wild Flowers and Arabiannigns
These are my 3 favourite patterns: Tropical Morning, Spring Fling, and Star Party.
I like these quilts because of their colors: Peaceful Quarters, On the Road Again, and Spring Fling.
My favorites were Memories of Monet – love the colors and the similarity to Storm at Sea which has such great movement. Also Ashley’s Flower Basket because I love applique and this is such a pretty design, and Peaceful Quarters – the colors are eye-catching.
Oh such pretty patterns!
My favorites have got to be Arabian Nights (by far my fav!), Fantasia, Ashley’s Flower Basket, and Memories of Monet.
I just love them all. Each of them caught my eye and wouldn’t let go!
When will the winnter be announced? Inquiring minds, you know. I didn’t get an e-mail so I guess the book isn’t mine. Maybe next time ….
