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

I wanted to make a Yoko Saito quilt for many years, was finally able at achieve that over our Covid lock-down. I absolutely love, love it. It’s hanging in my lounge where I get to admire it everyday 🥰
My favorite quilt is one I designed in a class taught by Kaffe Fassett. It was an interesting class in that we could take the fabrics we wanted to use but no sewing machines were allowed. We spent the entire class designing our quilt by putting pieces of fabric on a design surface (a flannel backed vinyl tablecloth). I used all Kaffe fabrics in 2 1/2” squares and made 24” Trip Around The World blocks. It is bright and beautiful and I love it!
My favorite quilt is for my granddaughter. At her baby shower, guests signed and drew pictures on muslin squares and then I put it together for her with a Winnie the Pooh theme. It still hangs in her teenager’s bedroom today and she knows how special it is.
Thanks for all the new inspiration you share on your shows.
My favorite quilt I’ve made is my first Splendid Sampler. That was the most detailed quilt I ever made! I never dreamed I’d be able to make those 6inch blocks! I loved the quilt along. It took me 4 years before I actually finished it to the final quilt. I had a cancer recurrence mid-quilt! Thanks so much for the splendid sampler! It was therapy for me!
My favorite quilt is a scrap flying geese pattern by Mary Fons. I really love it! I made a second one and plan on starting a third sometime in the future. It was so great to use so many different fabrics.
My favorite quilt that I have made was my millennium quilt made in 2000. I designed a quilt divided up into decades (1900 -1990). I raw edge appliqued pictures of items developed or historically happened in that decade. For example, I made a collage of yellow submarine, short skirts, Martin Luther King Jr, etc. for the 1960s. Love your log cabin quilt.
My favorite quilt is A Double Wedding Ring Quilt that I was so lucky to be gifted, it is so pretty and a treasure.
Thanks Pat for a chance to win one of your beautiful quilts.
Picking a favorite quilt is like picking a favorite child! However there are a couple of special quilts. One is my first Row by Row quilt of Home Sweet Home. It hangs in my family room every fall.
My favorite quilt is the one called Evening Stroll. Mama bear and baby bear taking a walk with the setting sun in the background.
My favorite completed quilt is the graduation family quotes to the graduate quilt. I start several months before gathering quotes from family members on 4 1/2 inch squares which then go into each block of the quilt. We have lost a few family members over the years which makes the quilts even more precious when we read their messages.
Hi Pat, My favorite quilt is one I made using Accuquilt dies. (Designed my Marjorie Busby.)
It has lots of turquoise in it.
My favorite quilt I made was for my daughter’s wedding shower present. It had 20 pairs of flip-flops with each a different fabric used. Each fabric had a different theme also (Texas A&M because her husband graduated from there, teacher theme as they are both teachers, etc) They live in Houston and go to Galveston quite a bit
My favorite quilt is the second quilt I completed. It’s a Christmas quilt with big prints on the fabric. I love it! Thanks for all you do!
My current favorite quilt is a fall flannel one. I just used a layer cake with 2 borders. Backed in flannel too. Can’t wait for it to get cool outside.
The quilt that is my most favorite, is one that I made for my parents 50th anniversary. I collected old fabric, buttons, lace, and all sorts of notions from both if my grandmother’s stash. The old ribbon and satin from my mothers wedding dress had turned off-white, kinda looks coffee stained. The main backing is muslin. I used iron-on and transferred black and white pics of my parents, which I ironed on. The quilt is very vintage and the pics made it very personal. I stitched buttons, ribbon, and lace from my grandmothers and great-grandmothers collections. I love this quilt because it celebrates my parents and has touches of their parents too!
My favorite quilt is a calendar quilt I made with 12 blocks representing all the months. I started it at a quilt retreat in the 1990s and as I continued working on it, I became obsessed with making each monthly block unique for my family. Eventually I made my Mom and each of my 4 sisters their own calendar quilt. It is a wonderful family memory and we all still use them.
My first full-sized quilt was made for my daughter more than 45 years ago. It was a blue and white log cabin; log cabins continue to be a favorite pattern.
My favorite quilt is a quilt made of log cabin blocks and Christmas trees in flannels. I live in a log home so it is very fitting.
Also a quilt that my grandsons share. Each time we get together they get to pick out a spot to sigh their name and date. We even do hand and foot prints on the quilt each year. I’m hoping as grown men it will be a traveling quilt between them to bring them together and remember the times together.
my favorite quilt so far is one that i made for my granddaughter. It has glow in the dark frogs.
My favorite quilt I have made was a baby quilt for my first nephew, it is my fav because my sweet nanny ( grandmother) helped me hand quilt it as she was teaching me!
My favorite quilt was the Elephants in the Stomping Ground pattern. It tuned out darling and was donated to Hospice to cheer a patient. I also made several table runners for friends who adore them. Congratulations on the 100K. I have watched for years and enjoy watching each day as I eat my lunch. Best wishes always.
My fav quilt is a Harry Potter Quilt, I finally finished, by “Seriously I think I need stitches”.
How do I choose one quilt out of all I have made. My O My Stars made with Lady bird fabrics is my most recent favorite. Love them all!
My favorite quilt that I made was for a baby shower for a soon to be little boy who parents are outdoorsy people. I made animal blocks, a frog, a turtle, a bear, a fox and a campsite image and combined it with “I Love to Camp” sayings. It was also the first completed quilt I free motioned a lot of new designs on my domestic machine. Your red quilt is stunning and beautiful!
My favorite quilt that I made is the one I gave to my husband as a wedding/ Christmas gift. We have been together 42 soon to be 43 years in a couple of months. The quilt was made by these fabric squares that the Post exchange sold at the time. I didn’t have a sewing machine so I made it by hand. That quilt is well travelled for it has moved with us at least 19 times.
My favorite quilt is Nine Patch Maze. Liked it so well that I made two in different colorways. My favorite quilt to make is Charms on Point from MSQC. So easy and beautiful in any fabric.
My favorite/ most special finished quilt is what I call my garden path lap quilt. The quilt is surrounded by green grassy border to represent a courtyard. Inside the border is brown pebble path. The pebbles were outlined with free motion quilting , it has a neat texture. Inside the pebble path are different colors of flowers. The floral backing is special to me as it was a piece of fabric that I received from my grandma. The quilt was custom free motion quilted by a local quilter.
My favorite finished quilt is Stitch Pink QAL from 2020. I have always been a basic geometric quilter doing only quilts with squares and rectangles. In 2017 my best friend and quilting buddy passed away from breast cancer and I was diagnosed in 2018. Fast forward to 2020 an acquaintance from a quilting guild goaded me into joining Stitch Pink. She felt I needed to challenge myself. She promised to join with me and help along the way. I had sticker shock at the cost of the kit but I bought it in memory of my friend and my uncertain future. I have never looked back and my new quilting buddy and I go on many quilting excursions together and she clearly challenges me to go for the projects outside my comfort zone. I have it hanging in my living room and smile everyday knowing my friend is watching over me and for sending someone to me to enjoy quilting again.
My favorite quilt is probably the first one I finished. It taught me both traditional piecing methods and I had to learn applique and foundation paper piecing. It was a valiant first attempt and is a great measuring stick to see how far I’ve come. It has a cabin in its center, was pieced to look on point, and I remember I had to adjust my half square triangle border to fit meaning I had to go back on each one I sewed and adjust the seam by about two strands so it came out to the right size. I haven’t learned as much from just one quilt ever. The pattern was Learn to Quilt A block of the month quilt designed to build basic quilt-making skills distributed by Quakertown Quilts, Inc. Kathy Hock and Vicki McGowen 1998. I still have the printed instructions. I also took a long arm class to learn that part. I had this “brilliant idea” to quilt freehand different size squares all over it. That part looks real bad but I still love it!
My favorite quilt… that’s a tough question! After much reflection, my favorite quilt is a diamond log cabin ( pattern by Quilt in a Day) made with Fig Tree honeybuns. While I love the fabrics and the pattern, it was the experience of making the quilt that speaks to my heart. A couple of years ago, during a brief break in the pandemic, I took a class taught by Eleanor Burns at her store in San Marcos, CA. It was a small group, and we all had so much fun! At the end of the class, Eleanor invited us to finish our quilts at her studio at her cabin home in Julian. To say that was my best day sewing would not be an exaggeration, and I’ve been blessed to have many wonderful days sewing! It was such a nice group, and we had lots of fun tossing scraps over our shoulders! The lovely Autumn day, log cabin mountain setting was perfect— complete with the sound of a braying donkey in the distance. Quilting with Eleanor, utterly delightful! Eleanor was a kind and gracious hostess to us all. (How many of us remember making that first log cabin quilt by ripping our strips?) The quilt I made that day is not perfect. I don’t think any of us do our best work in class. But I treasure the memory of making that quilt as my BEST day sewing ever!🙂
My Favorite quilt is my Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt En Provence. I decided to get into quilting and what better way to dive in but with a million piece quilt. lol It was a perfect color combo for my daughter which was who I wanted to make a quilt for first. She is my life. Born with a terminal illness and requires 24/7 care. I take care of her and quilt. Became a widow at 46, so Quilting has become my best friend. An expensive best friend though. Watching you on Youtube and seeing everyone’s beautiful quilts, I want to make them all. I love the log cabin pattern and those are so my colors. I will be happy but so jealous of the winner. They are going to one lucky quilter!!! Good Luck to us all!
Yea! 100K! So excited for you! I’ve been following you for 10 years. It’s been such a blessing to learn so much since 2013! I love your log cabin quilt and would enjoy having this book.
My favorite finished quilt is the Lori Holt Prim quilt I did. It was my first full sized applique quilt. My maternal grandmother, who taught me to sew, made hundreds of applique quilts. It makes me feel so connected to her.
I’m on vacation with my grands. I cannot show my favorite piece of fabric. However, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone else’s!
My favorite quilt I made and gave to my Granddaughter for her high school graduation is called Conservatory. She picked out the colors and material and she took it to college with her this week. So proud of her
My favorite quilt is my Diamond quilt
My sister and I made one the same time together
I named mined ❤️ girls best friend
Yes Pat I am jumping in on the block Wednesday
😜
My favorite quilt is one that I did with Log Cabin Blocks and Sashiko Blocks. It makes a distinctive wall Hanging
My favorite quilt that I made was for my daughter. It is a log cabin in blue and creams. I made it 25 years ago. I had to replace the cream sashing on it because I used muslin and it was not the greatest quality. She still has it and uses it.
I made a Roses and Irish chain quilt that won 3 place at our quilt guild show. I bought the roses panel at a shop in Louisane name Quilt Bayou. It took my 2 years to match the gold and pink fabric. It was stripped piece to make the chair which I will never tackle again. Lesson learned, keep it simple with nine patches.
My favorite quilt is a very humble patchwork of 2″ blocks made from my stash. There’s no rhyme or reason to the squares – just leftovers of other projects. I kept it for myself, and while it may not be the most impressive looking, it’s filled with memories for me.
Right now my favorite quilt is one done in fall colors with a black background. The colors just pop on the dark background. Love it!
Yay! 100,000 subscripers…. my favorite quilt is a Carl Hentsch pattern called Enchanted, and I used the Tula Pink De La Luna fabric. I love anything Halloween and it fits into fall decorations just perfectly. Thanks!

My favorite quilt is a Christmas Quilt that combines fresh greens with red fabrics including polka dots. Log cabins blocks alternate with Ohio stars. It was only the second bed quilt I made. It welcomes family when they come to stay for the holidays.
My favorite quilt that I made was a flannel nine patch for my husband. I entered it into the country fair – was one of my first quilts and it won the Mountain Mist Best of Show. It was such an honor as a new quilter.
My favorite, and very first quilt, is the one that I found on Pinterest to make for my great niece. Pink Square Dance. I had never made a quilt before, but had sewn since I was 10 years old. I thought it would be simple — wrong! I cut out twice as many squares as necessary, never squared any blocks, and just cut the border as I went along. Sandwiching took forever, with many pierced fingertips. But I finished it in time for her to receive it for Christmas. It was a bit wonky, but full of love.
My favorite quilt is a Birds In the Air quilt that I make with 30’s reproduced fabrics!
The Red Zinger is my recent favorite quilt. I never paid attention to selvages before this quilt and really got an education on designers and manufacturers. I also went through my entire stash to find enough edges which led to better organization of my fabric.
Just completed a Mini- Plaidish in rainbow.
Most difficult quilt I have done and the largest.
My favorite so far!
My favorite quilt was made for my first niece. I was new to quilting and checkerboarded eyelet squares with a white square with machine appliquéd gingham red hearts. Then made little white ribbon bows and stitched those on the intersections. Adding wide eyelet ruffle. It was my first quilt project and I enjoyed the process and outcome. I have seen it throughout the years. I made it 42 years ago. It has been well loved.
My favorite quilt so far: Be my neighbor. I made this one for my son for Christmas last year who is a Disney fan and podcaster of Disney postcards. I fussy cut Disney characters for each block/window. When I had it quilted (at the spa), I had mouse ears all around.
My favorite quilt is one called Hot Flashes that I made with a guild in Okinawa about 12 years ago. Each block had a fun name – Night Sweats, Irritability, Seeing Red, Mood Swings, Bloating, etc. Mine was made in batiks and given to my mom.
My favorite quilt that I made was for my Granddaughter. She was 5 yrs old and loves big cats, she actually wanted a lion but at the time lions were rather ferocious looking, I didn’t want to give her nightmares. Or very juvenile, I wanted something she could grow with. I chose a tiger panel that had about 6 smaller blocks. I used an older panel pattern featuring a peacock. It was challenging for me because the sizes were not identical to the pattern. I had to layout the project on my kitchen island and make templates to get everything together. It turned out amazing. I sure kept up with tracking while it was in the mail!
