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

My favorite quilt is a Christmas Tree skirt that was very early in my quilting journey. I still have it and enjoy it just as much as ever.
My most favorite quilt I have made is the Bonnie Hunter Straits of Mackinac. I made it with loads of turquoise and blues and a tiny bit of purples on a white background. It was a lot of work and a LOT of pieces.. a real challenge. Luckily I made mine along with a group of special ladies that I sewed with. They helped keep me on track. The quilt was made with my daughter and future son-in-law as a wedding gift. Their wedding was in Costa Rico on the beach with the beautiful ocean as a backdrop. Coincidentally on the same day on the same beach after their service baby sea turtles were released back into the ocean. It was a magical day and every time I see the quilt at their home I am reminded that the hard work and dates with “Jack” were worth it.
My favorite quilt that I have completed is my Lazy Day quilt. Pattern is by Gina Martin and I actually picked the pattern based on the backing lol Riley Blake did a fabric line based on Mother Goose Nursery rhymes and I loved the main print in orange so much I made a whole quilt to show it off.
My favorite quilt I made was a half square triangle in yellows and soft pinks and blues, looked like a 40’s quilt. I made it for my Mother in law when she went into a nursing home with Alzheimer’s and needed something worm when she was in her chair. That quilt survived about 7 years of nursing home care. My father in law gave it back to me when he moved. It’s a little faded but still together it reminds me of the Christmas’s when we could bring her home and all seven of her kids and spouses and all seventeen grandchildren would all be together she would try to talk but it was so hard and she would end up laughing and we all joined her, special times. It holds a lot of memories like that but looking at that quilt brings those special times back.
It really isn’t a beautiful quilt, yellow was a color I avoided, but she loved it and enjoyed it.
My favorite quilt I made was for my sister in-laws recovery from cancer. It was a 12 in block quilt with sashing, which included square in a square and 4 patches on the corners. I did sashing with a 2” inch block in between. No pattern name. Lol. I also appliquéd a heart in the center of the block. By far the most favorite quilt I made. Congratulations on 100k
My favorite quilt was a Superman quilt I made for my son in black and white and grey retro Superman fabrics. He has been a Superman fan since he was little and he is now 43 years old
My favorite quilt was a Sunbonnet Sue quilt which I made for my granddaughter when she was a toddler. Each block had Sunbonnet Sue doing a different activity. I used fabric left over from dresses I has smocked for my granddaughter.
My favorite quilt is the first I’d ever done, and was a little over 20 yrs ago. Was a red, white, and blue flying geese pattern for my firstborn. He is now 23 and I have just resumed quilting now that the nest is empty!
What an honor it would be to own one of your quilts! You are so generous.
I have a piece of Christmas fabric I have to find the perfect project before I cut it!✂️
One of my favorite finishes is a quilt made (with no pattern) that included a background of all HSTs that formed a landscape; blues for the sky, working down the quilt to mountains and a “desert” foreground. A silhouette of a young girl on a galloping horse is appliqued over a the landscape, riding across the desert. This was made for a friend of my granddaughter, whom shared her horse with my granddaughter.
I loved making the Childhood Games. Thank you Pat for all your hard work that makes all of us so happy.
Congratulations on 100,000! My favorite quilt is the quilt I made last year to celebrate my husbands parents 70th, yes 70th wedding anniversary. I had 42 pictures of their 3 children, spouses, 7 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren put onto fabric and sewed frames around each photo. They generally don’t get excited with craft gifts but the absolutely love this quilt. They show it to everyone who visits. Made me happy to see how much they loved it.
I made one called “pink lemonade” a pink and yellow quilt for one of my granddaughters when she was 3 we backed in pink flannel. she took it to college with her last year lol
I made a quilt for my adult godson’s 50th birthday. I used his university tshirts. He was blown away.
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers. What an amazing accomplishment.
My favorite quilt I’ve made is “Stained Glass Star” by Jinny Beyer.
While visiting my brother in Reston one fall, went to her shop and fell in love with this quilt. Have it made and is hanging in the Quilting/Sewing/Knitting room. Thanks for all you do for us.
My favorite quilt is the quilt I completed in the Hometown sew along. I started quilting again 18 months ago after a ten year break. I find quilting relaxing and thoroughly enjoy watching you and never miss an episode. Congratulations on reaching 100K followers ❤️
I love your quilt alongs. My first quilt museum was in Virginia and you were featured and it was so exciting since you were the person I was doing my first quilt along. Thank you for what you do!!
My favorite quilt is the first quilt I made 15 years ago. I didn’t really have any idea what I was doing. I saw a quilt in a magazine, and I thought I could probably do it. It came out pretty wonky, nothing is squared, I tried to do hand quilting on it, the stitching is very uneven! I have learned so much watching your videos and I joined a quilt guild. My sewing has improved tremendously, still room for improvement, but I still love my first quilt.
My favorite quilt that I made is My Grandmother’s Flower garden in 1930’s repro fabric. I designed a special border to go around it and I love it sew!
The first quilt I ever made is my favorite! It’s Fig Tree fabric in yellow/soft aqua, blue and coral, a simple block of daisy print framed with coordinating stripes, end to end quilting on my embroidery machine in a daisy pattern. I have kept it tucked away for nearly 10 years. My husband found it in the closet recently and covered me with it after a surgery, I was immediately cheered up!! 🙂
My favorite finished quilt was the 2021 BOM by Sherri McConnell. Of course, the 2 quilts I designed and made for for my last 2 grandchildren run a very close 2nd. I so enjoy your videos. You always give such helpful tips! Like several days ago, you demonstrated taking the bottom off the Aurifil thread to get the beginning of the thread. How have I missed that all these years? I always have a terrible time finding the beginning of the thread. THANK YOU!!!!
My favorite quilt is made from Grateful Dead t-shirts. I couldn’t part with them but outgrew wearing them so I made a t-shirt quilt. I had no knowlede of what I was doing but it came out fantastic.
My favorite quilt I made is one I made with an Elk wildlife panel and put 20” log cabin blocks around it in browns and greens. It was king size and so pretty!
I made the Elizabeth Hartman Fancy Forrest friends quilt for my twin grandsons. It hangs in their room and I love how it turned out.
My favorite quilt that I have made was the Heartfelt Charity quilt from last year.
My favorite quilt was the wild rose quilt I coordinated with our quilt guild, and we were making a raffle quilt to celebrate our anniversary. I had the members of the guild make a wild rose appliqued block, then I put them all together and did the quilting on it. I even did free motion quilting around the wild roses on my longarm quilting machine, and also in the center of each block I hand embroidered french knots so the quilt actually resembled a real live wild rose. It is the official flower for our province of Alberta, up here in Canada. I don’t know who actually won the quilt when it was raffled off, but I hope and pray that the person who won it is enjoying its beauty. I put my whole heart and soul into that quilt, and have such fond memories of how our quilt guild members cooperated in the making of this beautiful quilt.
My favorite quilt is a grandmother’s flower garden quilt that my great grandmother made for my mother when she was born. I treasure it.
My favorite quilt is my current finish, blue birds with tulips at the bottom. I combined two of your patterns to have fun. Thanks so much for your videos, you keep me inspired every day.
Back in 2015 I made my first log cabin quilt. I even quilted it by hand. I loved making this quilt.
I guess my favorite quilt is the first one I completed. It’s an old Debbie Mumm pattern that I used old blue jeans, (because I didn’t know what I was doing), back in 1996. Yes, I still have it.
My favorite quilt is a king size quilt made with batik fabrics I found in Alaska. It has all the wildlife we saw on that trip and more. Great memories.
Thanks Pat for all your hard work .
My favorite quilt was a donation to The Linus Connection in Central Texas(not Project Linus). I machine embroidered some dolphins using about 30 different threads through the quilt. I framed each block with 4 different teal/blue batiks in blocks that were rectangles, not square. It was very hard to give up.
The last quilt I made was for my friends daughter (who has autism) and it was for her birthday. Her favourite colour is blue (and so is mine). I cut lots of strips in blues and other dark colours, sewing corner to corner on foundation fabric. It turned out so good and really made her happy. It’s my Birthday 18th August – guess what would make me happy 🙂
I made my Great Niece a Sunbonnet Sue, made in 30’s reproduction fabric. It was a lot of work, but it’s beautiful.
My favorite quilt I have made is the one that I believe is called Good Night Irene. I did it as a scrappy mystery for a class. I used random scraps just because I wanted to see how it would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised with the result! I quilted the background areas with a leaf vine by myself and it worked as well.
My favorite quilt is a lap quilt I made with fabrics in prints and colors that reminded me of a peaceful road trip that my husband and I took through CA, OR, WA, and NV. The focus fabric was from Corey Yoder’s “Springbrook” line. Every time I look at the quilt I remember that happy trip.
My favorite quilt is one that I made after my mom passed away. She was not a quilter but I found some blocks that she did with butterflies. She painted them like embroidery. They were green which is not a favorite color for me but she liked green. I found some fabric in my stash and put the blocks together. It is a little piece of my mom still with me. She always admired the other quilts that I had done.
My favorite quilt that I made was a Bear Paw quikt done in fall colors. I made it for my husband over 20 years ago and he still to this day uses it.
My favorite quilt I’ve made is called Sapphire. It’s a paper pieced quilt I made in memory of my mother and her September birthday.
My favorite quilt is the Shadow Box quilt I made from Batiks.
My best quilt ever??? The one we just made, Christmas mystery!! First one that I followed on YouTube and it worked out!!! 😂
Love your style and videos!! Thank you
My favorite quilt is one of my first quilts, which was a mystery quilt. It tells the story of a girl travels by wagon train after her marriage to her new home. The colors include gold, cranberry, blue, and green. I learned many of my quilting skills from piecing to applique while making this quilt.
My favorite quote is my first one I made it was done in Pinkston blue log cabin. The layout was called pussy in the meadow. After 20 years of washing, it is the softest cold Leon it’s the one we pull out as our sick quilt. Not feeling well the quilt helps you feel more loved
My favorite quilt is one I made for my parent’s 50th anniversary. Because home copying of photos was not yet developed, I had a blueprint company copy 180 photos of their lives. I then made them into a quilt which they treasured for years. I now have it & my children & grandchildren enjoy reviewing their historical background thru these pictures. It was fun to make & especially fun to give.
By far my most favorite quilt still remains the very first one I made. It is a trip around the world in greens, golds, and browns. It appears to look great on any king size bed I put it on even though I specifically made it for my bed 🙂 I felt so proud when I accomplished my very first quilt and have continued to make many more quilts since then!
Seldom do I make quilts from kits (I think I’ve used two in 35 years). But my favorite is from a Cherrywood kit called Cherryroll Vine. I loved the colors and the piecing was simple. And I did a bang up job of quilting it if I do say so myself. 🙂
My favorite quilt that I’ve made thus far is the Village. I fussy cut images to put in the doors. I even found a John Wayne image for one of the blocks. My granddaughter loves it and I loved making it for her.
My favorite quilt is a king size split 9 patch that I made for my husband for our bed. It’s totally scrappy and I love it!
I made my husband a Five and Dime Quilt that was red and black with Buffalo themed fabrics.
My favorite quilt that I have made is a scrap 16 patch on point that has a white on white background. It’s queen size. I use it on my spare room bed. Everyone that has seen it seems to like it.
