Window Boxes

This winner of this giveaway, according to the random number generator, is PK Sews!  Congratulations!

Window Boxes is a fun, modern design that I pieced this summer for Quilters Newsletter Best Modern Quilts Issue.  I'm so excited to be able to share it with you here today as part of the last day their blog tour, for which they have generously sponsored a giveaway of both a magazine and a Jolie fat quarter bundle by Anna Griffin!



Some of the larger wonky windows sport just a bit of appliqué!


Window Boxes is sewn in a combination of my "Bella" and "Bonjour, Mon Ami" lines for Blend Fabrics.  I used Aurifil thread for the piecing and appliqué and Warm and White batting.  My good friend Cherry Guidry of Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio, quilted the fun floral pattern.




"Jolie" fat quarter bundle by Anna Griffin

To enter the giveaway of a copy of the magazine and the Jolie fat quarter bundle simply leave a comment telling me about a quilting project you are currently enjoying or are excited about starting.  Deadline is tonight (Friday the 17th of January) at midnight.  One entry per person please.

And be sure to stop by Quilters Newsletter and another designer on the tour, Janet Jo Smith (a little bird told me it was her birthday today so be sure to wish her "happy birthday"), for more chances to win prizes!


Happy quilting and have a great weekend!
Amanda

  43. 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!

  156. 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.

  168. 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!!!
