The Random picker decided my Logcabin quilt should live with Joann S who said
"My favorite quilt is the first quilt I ever made! My daughter wanted to learn to quilt and she convinced me to take a couple of classes at our fabric store – I was only mildly enthusiastic about quilting – even though I had been a sewer for years. I decided to check out additional classes for us at my local quilt shop and there on the wall was this wonderful quilt with birds on branches. When I asked about it – they told me they were having a retreat the following weekend to make this quilt! I signed up -( my daughter couldn’t attend for family reasons). I made that quilt, which I adore ( it hangs in my sewing room!). Since making that quilt, I am completely hooked on quilting! I had heard people talk about quilting as an addiction, but didn’t understand it until then. This was the quilt that got me to become a quilter!"
Congratulations Joann! I've emailed you

This was difficult question. So often it depends on a characteristic or the color palette, who I am making it for etc. I am choosing a dresden plate quilt because I found the large circles already made, the fabrics are likely from the 40’s. I appliquéd them to a background and added sashing. It makes me smile in its colors and in the fact that someone long before me started this project and I was able to complete it. So excited to watch your group grow! You are an inspiration. Now if I only had the time to create!
My favorite quilt was the blue and pink heart quilt that I made for my grand-daughter this year. It was also the very first quilt that I ever made. I quilted it on my home sewing machine. It is certainly not perfect but I love it just the same.
My favorite quilt is my first one. A log cabin wall hanging made with fall colors. I made it in class at the local quilt store. It reminds me of a place I loved living. I also have good memories of the people I met and how I fell in love with quilting
Tough choice for my favourite quilt finish. One of them is a bargello that suited the recipient to a T. Congratulations on reaching 100 K, Pat. I appreciate all your work, love watching you each morning and have learned a lot!
My favorite quilt is the Lexington Sampler I made. It was a NQC quilt along and the first large bed quilt I made (queen size). I hand quilted the entire quilt, learning a lot as I went along. It now is used on our bed at our cabin.
My favorite quilt was the Montana Quilt. It was my first mystery quilt with Landry Basket quilts. I found out I cannot do mystery quilts because I need to know what fabric to use where. But I made up the quilt during the finish it up at the end of the quilt a long. I enjoy the medallion type quilts and this is going to be my first quilt to be professionally long armed!
My favorite quilt is a patriotic star scrappy string quilt in red, white and blue. I like it better than any of the full or queen size quilts I have completed during my quilting journey.
My favorite quilt is a Dresden plate that I made 10plus years ago. I hand appliquéd the plates and hand quilted the quilt. I do love it. I am enamored with your old cabin. I love that large center square. I do enjoy seeing your videos I have been quilting a long time but as they say you are never too old to learn something
My favorite quilt is one designed by Liz Porter. It has pastel colors and the blocks are designed to look like there are circles. Don’t remember the name of it but I have it on my bed.
Oh Boy, a favorite…. How about the one I’m most proud of. It is a Mariner’s Compass I made at a quilt retreat in Jerome, Idaho at a Monastery. It was paper pieced and probably the most difficult quilt I have made.
I love most of the quilts I make, be it small, big or in between. I love giving them away and keeping some too.
My favorite quilt that I made is a barn quilt made from an Amish panel of several Amish scene blocks.
It has intertwining frames around each block and it has my favorite colors, red and white.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos. I love your channel.

My favorite quilt and sew along is “May Rainbows”. I was keeping for myself but my Grandaughter saw it and you can guess what happened. She uses it everywhere she goes
My favourite quilt I made was a mug quilt for my mom and Step dad for Christmas. It really tested my ability, patience and skill level. I cried a few times while making it. I think if I would have started with that quilt, that would have been the end of my journey quilting. The reason it’s my Favourite is it really showed me I can do it.
My favorite quilt I have made is a Christmas quilt called Four Square by Sherri and Chelsea.
My absolute favorite quilt I made was a QOVF mystery sew along that I awarded to my 84 year old dad on Memorial Day this year to recognize and thank him for his service. It was a simple pattern and not that spectacular and I even reversed some border fabrics (oops) but it meant so much to him and I cried as I presented it to him for n front of our family.
When I started quilting I made quilts for each of my nephews and nieces. I made one with apples for my niece who loved apples. As a little girl, every time she came to her grandma’s she would ask for an apple. I made this about 25 years ago and it is my favorite as it was perfect for my niece.
MY very favorite quilt was called Hopscotch Nine-Patch,and was made for a for a raffle. It was a simple 4″scrapy nine-patch Irish chain top with a border of pieced children with arms outstretched to pieced hearts all the way around. It was so fun to make and a good money maker for the Blue Star Mom’s. Always wanted to make another but haven’t so far!
My favorite quilt is one called Shakespeare in the Park. Its snail trail and star blocks. Made in homespuns and plaid shirting fabrics and backed with flannel. My husbands favorite also. Took me 30 years to finish. Started in 1993 and put away till 2000, worked on it and put in time out then. Finished last year (Finally)
My favorite quilt I have made was for my mom. It was a bunny pattern by Debbie Mumm. It was my first quilt that I had made and I was surprised that I could even make a quilt.
My favorite quilt is a teal and apricot colored made from fat quarters. It was one of my first quilts and was donated to charity.
Thank you Pat for all you teach us!
My favorite quilt is the first paper peacing quilt . It’s off white pink green and black. Aways wanted to make a log cabin quilt Hope I can win your wonderful quilt. Love the reds.
My favorite was the Oh My Stars quilt. It was one of my first and found it easy to make. I gave it as a Christmas gift since I did it in Christmas fabrics.
Thanks so much for all you do and share

My favorite quilt I made was last year’s Summer Soirée. I so enjoy watching all of your videos and sew alongs. I want to do them all, so I work diligently on one, and work on another one in spare time. Thank you for all you show us in your videos, I have truly learned so much about choosing fabrics to go together.
My favorite quilt is made from an “Anne of Green Gables” layercake. The pattern is called “Magic Stars.” It’s currently at the foot of my bed and keeps me warm on chilly nights.
My hands down favorite quilt is one that gave me the most frustration. I used HSTs of particular color ways laid out in a barn raising setting, you know the big diamond extending from a center. It took so much time because I wanted to be exact in my color placement. Then I layered and was nearly done quilting when I looked at the back. Eyelashes every where with tucks in the backing fabric all over the place!! So I picked out a 60X60 quilt! Needless to say “quilt” and I spent lots of time together getting to know each other and expressing our emotions. I re-sandwiched the quilt more carefully and re-quilted my fav. It hangs beautifully on my ladder and is used often as a napping quilt and a winter time snuggle quilt. Yup, I have made many more in that setting with lessons learned about eye lashes and tucks in the backing.
My favorite quilt is a BOM done in neutrals–tans and creams–and finished using a setting from one of the quilt magazine I subscribed to. It’s absolutely beautiful and is currently hanging in the studio. The eye is kept in motion yet has some nicely done resting spots between the blocks.
Congrats, Pat on your 100K subscribers… you have an amazing group of followers! I still think my favorite quilt is one I did many years ago with a pattern called Summer in the Park…. I used a beautiful bright jelly roll and a white background…. Very fresh and full of lovely bright florals!
My favorite quilt I’ve made was a Precious Moments baby quilt I hand stitched for my daughter in 1994. I took 2 sheets, one white, one pale peach, and a prairie style fabric with a purple background and peach rosebuds allover. I cut out blocks from the white sheet and traced Precious Moments pictures from a color book onto them in pencil. Then, I embroidered each block. I just used a simple square block pattern interchanging them with the rosebud print. I hand sewed the blocks together, sandwiched the quilt with a big puffy polyester batting, and used the peach sheet as the backing and binding. I took embroidery thread and used a simple straight stitch to hand quilt the entire quilt, stitching around each scene of embroidery. I’ve made many intricate patterns since then with expensive fabrics on an expensive machine, but that little hand stitched baby quilt was sewn with so much love and has been loved by my daughter for so many years….it will always be my favorite project I’ve ever made.
My favorite quilt is always the one I’m working on! But I guess my all time favorite is the block Wednesday sewalong we did a couple of years ago “My Favorite Things” I did it in my favorite color, modified the dog to look like my Max and filled with all the things I cherish in my life!
My favorite quilt of all time is, as yet, incomplete, it needs binding but I have been sick and unable to sew on the binding.
My favorite completed quilt would have to be an Eleanor Burns sampler, the Pioneer Sampler. It took me 15 years to complete, I was still working when I started, somehow it got put away Neil I found it about 2 years ago. I can see the difference in the blocks completed years ago and those completed recently. It is a beautiful quilt! The colors and the contrast is perfect.
I love any scrappy quilt!
My favorite quilt was my very first. It was made over 30 years ago (when I was 24)with a beginner quilting class. It was a sampler quilt and it was pieced and quilted all by hand. It was definitely a labor of love. Congratulations on 100K!!! Thank you for all of your videos. ❤️
My favorite quilt I made w
as the rail fence pattern. I made it for a niece’s first baby. It was a kit from my local quilt shop, made of soft flannel in colors of tiny pink flowers, cream background, and celery green borders. She cried when she opened it and so did I. That set me on my journey of quilt making.
It’s so hard to pick a favorite, but a teal and cream 2” sq with wool batting is currently on my lap
My favorite all time quilt is my Bonnie Hunter pattern of Midnight Flight that I gave to my son and daughter in love for their wedding. I collected batiks in blues for quite some time. It has recycled shirts all the way to batiks and it has a flow to it. I was blessed to meet Bonnie at her class in AZ. One 12 inch block has 88 pieces in it.
My favorite quilt is a log cabin quilt, the first one I made. It is made up in blue/purple pansies and yellow and white.
My heart log cabin quilt. My second favorite is a baby quilt I made for a friend.
My favorite quilt that I have made would be a scrappy I Spy quilt. It’s so colorful and I dashed it with white polka dots on black background, resembling ticker tape. I enjoy your daily shows and try to do as many sew alongs as I can- the Halloween mystery was fun and I’m finally doing the Evergreen mystery. Looking forward to the Autumn mystery- fall is my favorite time of year! Thanks for sharing your humor and expertise with us.
My favorite quilt is the first one I made with the FQS beginner series. It started me on this quilting journey.
I love the same block quilt we done in the month of March, mine was finished and I used minky for the backing it went to a young girl just graduating high school. It was done in pinks.
My favorite quilt is a pattern by Jacqueline de Jonge I did with her quilt a long on the Craftsy site. It is a patriotic red white and blue batiks, custom quilted by my local quilt shop! I love it! So satisfying for all the work that went into it!
My favorite quilt I made for my great niece, Mara Jane. It is called Stomping Ground by Wendy Sheppard. It was so much fun to make and it turned out so cute I almost didn’t give it to her!!
I think I’d have to say my favorite finished quilt is my 5-yard quilt using large and small florals from my stash. I used a variety of greens and yellows, but the one constant was the bees on blue background that my quilt bee used for our matching vests back in the ’90’s. It makes me smile whenever I look at it, and reminds me of the many friends (military, church and quilting) who grow in my garden.
Hi Pat
My favorite sew-along with you quilt has to be the Secret Lives of Color. I just love color and it was fascinating to learn where they all came from.
Congrats on your 100,000 Subscribers!!!!! Have you received your plaque from YouTube yet?
My favorite quilt that I made was a simple jelly roll quilt that I made for my niece’s college graduation using green fabric that I got from our local quilt guild rummage sale from an avid quilter that was de-stashing. My plan for the fabric was a BOM that I never got started and when my niece’s favorite color was green and she was finishing her master degree that was my cue to use that fabric. I used the 2 1/2 die from Accuquilt to but it up and found some filler fabric they worked so well with it.
My favorite quilt was one I made for my year-old granddaughter that had fussy-cut forest animals in the center of each block surrounded by shades of pink and gray. I also made a coordinating “mattress”, quilt and pillow for her doll bed in the same fabrics.
My current favorite quilt is the Scrappy Celebration quilt I made during a recent sewalong with American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. I love the scrappy feel of it yet it has cohesion. I’m currently obsessed with scrappy quilts.
My very favorite quilt that I have finished, and is on my bed, is my very first one that I made for myself thirty years ago using Robyn Pandolph fabrics in cream, pale yellow, rosy pink and green. I’m so proud of it and I’ll never tire of it. I use it year round!
My favorite quilt is Honor by Villa Rosa Designs. I saw it made up on a quilt shop hop many years ago. It was done in flannel with a lovely winter scene. It is so cozy and warm and just the thing for New England winters. Thank you, Pat, for all you do! It is much appreciated.
My favourite quilt was made for a friend’s new baby. Using oranges and greens, with a striped binding. The mum to be absolutely loved it as it echoed Clarice Cliffe’s pottery!
