I have a wee teeny tiny little collection of holiday fabrics (insert eyes looking to the heavens…) So I got out the crate.. tub... um.. I mean little box of them … and used a piece of my Santa fabric for the window! I'm going to start looking for darling prints to add in!

We are on Block #4.. below is the download & link to my project page with ALL the blocks

TRUE CONFESSION.. this is 'Try #2' as 'Try #1'  didn't quite make it.. want to see?

When I made this block I didn't think about how using a different fabric at the bottom would create an entirely new look. It makes the house short. I put it on my design wall for awhile and it bugged me.

So I had a date with Jack, Jack the Ripper, and fixed it up! Don't you think it's better on the one above it?

  1. I love making big quilts, just love laying under them in every room in the house. My favorite color is blue…. Crossing my fingers for this lovely giveaway!

  2. I love making all sizes of quilts as I tend to get an idea midway of working on a quilt and tend to hop about making quilts. My grandson just made his first quilt so I am doing small ones at this time. Love the blues!

  3. I do mostly table runners and toppers. I like to find a quilt block that I like and work it in once or several times in a runner or toppers. Charity quilts if I do one.

  4. I finished the Winter Solstice Challenge. I’m working on the Grandma’s Kitchen challenge. Later, I want to make the House blocks also. You are awesome. Thank you for keeping quilting and life fun.

  5. I make whatever looks fun. Lap quilts, bed quilts, small projects, big projects. I always tend to modify it though. LOL

  6. I try to stick to lap quilts but it seems like I do a lot of King sized lately. Right now I have a King sized Lockwood Bargello on my design wall that needs putting together.

  7. I make all sizes. I want to make more small projects so I can practice quilting on my machine.

  8. Recently I seem to be doing lots of baby quilts in between larger bed and lap quilts. Oh those babies keep coming!

  9. I love give-aways and would love to receive a give-away. I have decided that bigger isn’t always better and having been doing more small projects lately!

  10. It has to be a toss up on completed quilts between bed size and baby quilts. If I am looking at just quilt tops then it would have to be the larger bed sized.

  11. I mainly make twin size quilts. But love all kinds of projects. Anything that makes me think and visualize how the fabric would look together.

  12. I love making them all, especially baby quilts … love gifting them. Especially love the fabric you chose here. Good luck to everyone!!

  13. I make small projects and lap quilts but I haven’t made any bed quilts yet. Beautiful fabric and pattern.

  14. My preferred size is the lap quilt! They are easier to gift and use! I have decided to make a king size quilt for my bed, that will be my first large quilt to make! I also make small things like wall hangings. So I guess I like it all LOL!

  15. Enjoy your blog. I was making bed quilts but I was starting new projects w/o finishing the prior one. I think I need to finish some UFOs.
    Your give-away looks great. One of my daughters likes blue.

  16. I love to make lap, baby and smuggler throws for the couch. Each time I choose a.New.pattern or add.a.New.type of design element to expand my skill set. Right now it is plenty of babybbquilts for all the friends who are expecting grand children. It is so sad none of them quilt.and don’t want to learn so I spread the joy.

  17. Oh my goodness yes I love your patterns have for some time now! I love quilting its so soothing to the soul! I make baby quilts up to king size quilts they are a big passion in my life.
    Thank you for everything.

  18. LOVE the giveaway. Blue is my fave color! I make small to throw size quilts mostly. I have seasonal table runners & placemats & wall hangings. I guess that’s my “speciality” ! 😉 Thanks for having this awesome giveaway! Would ❤️ to win! 😉😊

  19. I do a healthy mix of all 3! I’m a well rounded individual! Maybe just a little too well rounded but that’s another story!

  20. I have only finished my second quilt ever but both have been queen size quilts. I have the next one started and I am really enjoying grandma’s quilt along.

  21. I tend to gravitate to throw size or smaller patterns. Though in the past year I’ve made 2 king size quilts for my sons.

  22. I LOVE your houses! I am planning to make a house quilt eventually! I am getting ready to board Amtrak on Monday in Jackson, Mississippi with quilt bag in hand to go to a National Narrow Gauge Convention in Denver! Quilting all day! FUN! Did I say that I hand quilt? It’s my fun thing to do! Since I am a quilter who lives in a Depot, I AM deepotquilter@gmail.com. Would LOVE to win your Contest! But I enter stuff and never win BUT color me HAPPY ’cause I AM! deepotquilter@gmail.com

  23. i just started quilting in late January of this year and have fallen in love with all the possibilities quilting can bring! My favorites have been my lap quilts just because no one likes cold toes… 🙂

  24. I started out with mini all by hand than went on to lap quilts still all by hand and now I am working on a special king size bed quilt and am going to try and learn machine quilting. My grandmothers voice is still in my head that it is not a quilt if done by machine, I think if she had not passed she might have changed her mind with all the beautiful quilts and all the fun tools. I like to hand quilt though it is relaxing but King would take me too long.

  25. I love all of your projects, however I find if they are not lap size,I generally add more to it,to make them at least full bed quilt size, but Lapquilts are great…. however whenI want to gift someone, I generally find they want to use it on their bed, soI amforatleasta fullsize…I have several quilt tops made, waiting to decide on outer orders to make them a tad bigger, but also waithing on more to do at one time on my long arm. I do make lap, and baby quilts…and wall hangings too! Again, thank you for the opportunity for this chance to win something great!

  26. I mostly do lap size quilts. I am new at quilting and don’t want to work on a larger piece on a regular sewing machine. Also made a few baby quilts.

  27. I make some small quilts and wall hangings but definitely make more bed size quilts than anything. I going to make a miniature soon to enter in a contest for my quilt guild and I’m looking forward to that.
