Just before Halloween I found a shoebox of scrap Christmas fabrics that my mother in law had given me more than 20 years ago. I've been carrying around that box for that long, through moves to 4 different states. This was it, I said. I cut them into 1 1/2 inch strips and made a spiderweb string quilt with them. I used a solid yellow for the background, which makes loves stars between the spiderwebs. All I have left to do is attach the piano key borders and get it quilted. Then I'm going to send it to my mother in law for Christmas!
I love this quilt. I saw the picture before the contest and just new that i'd be making it. I sure does have a spring-like feel to it. The addition of the flowers just 'made' the quilt.
Your quilt makes me yearn for Spring, so bright and happy. I just received a bundle of pink fat quarters so am going to make a table topper for Valentine's Day.
What a bright, fun quilt - love the color scheme. I'm starting a Smithsonian applique quilt kit that has hiding been in my stash. I came across it the other night looking for something to work on.

I am busy sorting and reorganizing my quilt fabric, etc. Seeing more of the modern quilting is getting me interested in starting a new section in my stash! Chance to win Fantastic!
I'm working on a quilt for my two Pomeranians. Girly material always catches my eye, but with a 19 year old son, I'm limited on the fabric I can use for him. With my two girl furbabies, I can use all the feminine fabric I can get my hands on.
Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome prize!
Your quilt is lovely and the colors are so cheerful! I'm currently working on a bed quilt for my niece who requested a tangerine/turquoise quilt to brighten her college dorm room.
After finishing my last quilt back in Sept and then Christmas sewing - I am yet to jump back into quilting. I am having trouble deciding whether or not to finish one of the many tops that I have on the go or start a Pezzy Jelly Roll quilt by Busy Thimbles!
Love the colours in your quilt. For the first time I am doing a mystery quilt featured in the Quiltmania magazine..because the designer is Di Ford..I am excited about it starting but also a little anxious as there is a lot of appliqué..but I thought I would challenge myself to work on something a little different for me this year..time will tell!
Love the colors on your "Window Box" quilt! I just finished the Veranda bag by Penny and am going to finish a table runner before starting on another quilt.

I just finished up making placemats and a table runner last night. It is always a puzzle after completing a project...buy new, use stash, or finish a UFO.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I like your quilt. I'm not a fan of greens/yellows, but I see this being made up in blue or purple/lavendar colorways.
I'm hand quilting the last border on an "Autumn Baskets" wall quilt. It will be part of my guild's auction in March. I really do like it so it will be hard to let it go!!
I love your quilt! It is so spring-y! My daughter's favorite color is lime green and I made her a green quilt, but with black instead of white. She loves it, but I'm sure she would love yours more. By the way, the quilting is fantastic!
Wow! Spring indoors - on a quilt, what a wonderful idea! Love the colors and fun flowers. I am currently finishing a prayer quilt for a friends Grandson and am starting to cut out my Celtic Solstice to follow along with Bonnie Hunters mystery quilt. As usual I am a bit slow but getting there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt.
Spectacular quilts!! Love them all,but City Lights touched my heart so much. The reason that it affected me is because my daughter,Nicole has Crohn's. Thank you!! Diane L at TieDi54@aol.com
I'm about to start a project for my mom, my sister, and me. I'll be taking Dad's neckties and making memorial wall hangings for all of us. I think I'll do at least one of them using EPP hexagons. It will be interesting and no doubt a little bittersweet. Thank you for the nice giveaway. :)
Finishing up a medallion quilt by Judy Newman of Australia. Looking for a new project, so would love some inspiration which I would get, if I won the magazine and fabric bundle. :)

Love your green and white block quilt! I'm working on a purple, white, peach shades quilt for donation to a college auction to raise funds for this college that I attended.
I usually have a couple projects going at the same time. I'm mostly working on a quilt for my grand daughter Katie, and the name of the pattern of the quilt I'm working on is named "Katie's Quilt". I saw a really cool youtube video today of a quilt I would love to make and it took all my will power not to start a new project today. Thanks for the chance to win and I enjoyed your lovely quilt and blog. Love the colors.
I love the floral quilting you chose for the quilt! It fits so well and looks so precise! I'm waiting for the sewing beast to return from the shop so I can finish my husband's quilt. Free-motion did the beast in 2/3 of the way finished. :-(
I am working on an applique wall hanging, actually I am working on two! One I am quilting and the other I am hand stitching the applique down... happy days!!

Just adding borders to a mystery quilt, making a small wall hanging and getting ready to start a baby quilt for my nephew's first child. And tomorrow is a quilt retreat so I hope to get it all done!
I am working on a memory quilt for young lady who lost her mother when she was nine. The front side of the quilt is a t-shirt quilt of her sports and activities from grade school through high school (She graduates this year.). The back has a garden of hearts made from her mother's clothing. It is a surprise for her graduation from her cousin and his wife who have raised her since her mother passed. You can't imagine how honored I am to be a part of this project for her.

Amanda, the quilt is gorgeous! Your fabrics are so pretty and soft. I am working on a "Postcards from Hawaii" quilt. It is a fun quilt to work on in January in Boston.
What a beautiful quilt! I love the colors; they make me "think Sprig" in the midst of a snowy Winter.
I'm excited to be working on a quilt for my son and his future wife. The pattern is "Three in a Box" which reminds me of a modern wedding ring quilt and I'm using yellow, gray, and white fabrics.
Beautiful quilt!! I am taking a class at my Joanns store for a 9 patch with scalloped boarders. I am eager to learn this next step in my quilting. Thank you for sharing your quilt.
Love, love, love your Window Boxes quilt. After seeing all the modern quilts on the blog tour I'm planning on making one very soon to get out of my comfort zone. Currently I've ventured into EPP, I'm almost finished with a babydoll hexie quilt for my granddaughter.
I love the beautiful pastels in your quilt. It is one of the prettiest quilts I have seen. I am working on a red and white Christmas quilt which I couldn't quite finish this year but should be more than ready for next!
I love your quilt with the appliquéd flowers, and the color is beautiful!! I typically do traditional appliqué but am really getting inspired with the new modern quilts and what we can do with these gorgeous colors!!
Love the quilt and the quilting. I am not starting a new project at the moment but instead finishing up several based on craftsy classes I have enrolled in. I am trying to learn to free motion quilt on my domestic machine and I am LOVNNG it!
I am just learning to quilt. I happened to pick up a copy of Better Homes and Gardens Quilts and More and saw your Holiday Sampler. It is so beautiful! I sew clothing and decided why not try!? So I bought all the Holiday Boutique fabric I could find and it's a good thing I couldn't find it all because after browsing quilt blogs and reading quilting magazines, I realized I would have ruined your beautiful fabric. I am currently taking several Craftsy classes and can't wait to start on my first quilt!!!
I'm working on several projects at once (sound familiar?). I hope to finish a simple 4-patch scrap quilt which was a challenge from a quilt group to which I belong. k.castanette@hotmail.com

LOVE the idea of mixing a fussy cut applique with traditional/modern patchwork.
I am busy sorting and reorganizing my quilt fabric, etc. Seeing more of the modern quilting is getting me interested in starting a new section in my stash! Chance to win Fantastic!
Love these quilts! Will look for the mag and book at my local quilt shop. jonnienottingham@aol.com
What a darling quilt! I love the applique! Thanks for a chance to win!!
I just finished making a lap quilt using your Bella line. It is a lovely combination of colors. Thanks for the chance to win!
Right now I'm hand piecing a Jinny Beyer pattern -- 4 blocks to go! I love your Window Boxes.
I'm working on a quilt for my two Pomeranians. Girly material always catches my eye, but with a 19 year old son, I'm limited on the fabric I can use for him. With my two girl furbabies, I can use all the feminine fabric I can get my hands on.
Thank you for the chance to win such an awesome prize!
Your quilt is lovely and the colors are so cheerful! I'm currently working on a bed quilt for my niece who requested a tangerine/turquoise quilt to brighten her college dorm room.
love the flower boxes quilt
After finishing my last quilt back in Sept and then Christmas sewing - I am yet to jump back into quilting. I am having trouble deciding whether or not to finish one of the many tops that I have on the go or start a Pezzy Jelly Roll quilt by Busy Thimbles!
I'm just about to start a quilt for a coffee table that I'm really looking forward to.
Love the colours in your quilt. For the first time I am doing a mystery quilt featured in the Quiltmania magazine..because the designer is Di Ford..I am excited about it starting but also a little anxious as there is a lot of appliqué..but I thought I would challenge myself to work on something a little different for me this year..time will tell!
Love the colors on your "Window Box" quilt! I just finished the Veranda bag by Penny and am going to finish a table runner before starting on another quilt.

I just finished up making placemats and a table runner last night. It is always a puzzle after completing a project...buy new, use stash, or finish a UFO.

I love your quilt! It is so spring-y! My daughter's favorite color is lime green and I made her a green quilt, but with black instead of white. She loves it, but I'm sure she would love yours more. By the way, the quilting is fantastic!
Wow! Spring indoors - on a quilt, what a wonderful idea! Love the colors and fun flowers.

Thanks for the chance to win and I enjoyed your lovely quilt and blog. Love the colors.
I love the floral quilting you chose for the quilt! It fits so well and looks so precise! I'm waiting for the sewing beast to return from the shop so I can finish my husband's quilt. Free-motion did the beast in 2/3 of the way finished. :-(

I am working on a memory quilt for young lady who lost her mother when she was nine. The front side of the quilt is a t-shirt quilt of her sports and activities from grade school through high school (She graduates this year.). The back has a garden of hearts made from her mother's clothing. It is a surprise for her graduation from her cousin and his wife who have raised her since her mother passed. You can't imagine how honored I am to be a part of this project for her.

Window Boxes is such a fantastic, fun quilt - love the soft colours! I'm excited to finish up the binding on a Jelly Roll Race that I made for my Mom and to also finish the piecing on a quilt I designed for my daughter. After that, I plan to start the cutting and piecing for my son's bed quilt. I love having so many projects to look forward to!

I am just learning to quilt. I happened to pick up a copy of Better Homes and Gardens Quilts and More and saw your Holiday Sampler. It is so beautiful! I sew clothing and decided why not try!? So I bought all the Holiday Boutique fabric I could find and it's a good thing I couldn't find it all because after browsing quilt blogs and reading quilting magazines, I realized I would have ruined your beautiful fabric. I am currently taking several Craftsy classes and can't wait to start on my first quilt!!!
I'm working on several projects at once (sound familiar?). I hope to finish a simple 4-patch scrap quilt which was a challenge from a quilt group to which I belong.
