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 that I made was a Christmas quilt that I designed around multiple panels. They were Christmas postcards and Santa and Angels and Trees. I made many different stars to go around it. It was for one of my daughter’s and her husband.
My favorite quilt so far, is the one I just finished for my soon-to-be-born great granddaughter! The pattern is Oh, My Stars! I pieced the top with pastel colors and Winnie the Pooh characters. The back is a soft flannel and I decided to use a pink satin binding. Hope it’s her favorite!
I made my niece a quilt. She loves her kitty’s so I made a Kitty quilt. I used Kaffe Fassett fabric for it and it turned out so beautiful. He has some beautiful fabric.
My favorite quilt that I made was right after lockdown started in March 2020. I made my 30-year-old daughter a Wizard of Oz lap quilt from fabrics that I had acqured at sales, my Guild giveaways and Quilt Shows. Our daughter was Dorothy for Halloween when she was 3 years old & always loved that movie. I had enough fabric in my stash to make the whole quilt without buying anything! Thanks, Pat!
I love the quilt I made for my son using the Riley Blake National Park panel. So fun and just perfect for him!
Choosing a favorite quilt is like choosing a favorite child! Can’t be done. My very first was a log cabin. Quilting is such a satisfying journey, my favorite is usually the last one I have finished. Thank you, Pat, for all you have done for quilters. You are my favorite!♥️
My favorite quilt I made was my very first one it was an Ohio star quilt. It’s very well used, we all call it my sleepy quilt as we fall asleep under it in 5 minutes.
My favorite quilt is a 1 1/2” strip log cabin around a panel I made for my youngest son. He was 6 at the time, it is still his favourite. He is now 28!! Thankyou for all the inspiration and company!
My favorite quilt is the one I am giving my niece today before she leaves for college tomorrow…made of bright and bold pinks and reds from Kaffe Fassett! Congratulations on 100K subscribers!!
My favorite quilt I made so far, is the Spinning Triangles Quilt designed by Carrie Wikander. This is the first Modern Quilt I made. I used bright colors and learned to make it in a class…loads of fun!
My favorite quilt was one I made for my grandson after he had successful surgery for cancer when five months old. The pattern was “Fancy Forest” by Elizabeth Hartman. Now a healthy 9-year old, he still keeps the quilt on his bed.
My favorite quilt that I made (so far) is my wedding quilt that was done as my guest book at my wedding. I had white 5″ center squares that people could write/draw on with fabric markers and also used photos from the wedding as the center blocks of a log cabin done in the pale summer/Americana red, white and blue. I designed it to be a memory quilt of the event. LOVE IT!
My favorite Quilt that I made is “Strip Cocktail” made with 2.5″ batik strips that I cut myself. It is full of purples ,blues and turquoise.
The most favorite quilt I’ve ever finished was for my grandson his senior year. He played football and played the trombone in the band. I made him a quilt with a football jersey with his number on it (70). The quilt also had a pieced football, the word football, band and the school initials – TCHS. It was also done in the school colors. On the back I put music fabric which included the trombone. It took months to find the fabric and make a pattern. He LOVED it!!!!! And It made me so happy to make something that he loves and uses.
My favorite quilt so far is one I designed in HSTs which are half solid light blues, aquas,purples,and greens and half many different black on white prints. I did some fussy cutting with a black on white stripe in the sashing. It is hanging in my guest bedroom. Love your videos, Pat!
My favorite quilt was the first one i made when i was 13. My mother sobbed up for the class with me so she could help me keep up and she got hooked into quilting.
The quilt that is my favorite is one I made before I discovered you, Pat! It is a queen size mostly HSTs and is all scrappy. I had to cut 638 light 2 7/8″ squares and 638 2 7/8″ dark squares….before I knew that I could have cut them as 3″ squares. Sixteen HSTs are framed in black sashing. Borders of Thimbleberry fabric finish it off nicely. It has been on my bed for 6 years now. Love it!
My favorite quilt is one I made for a friend for him to give to his bride as a wedding gift. It was 104″ square (and prior to that I never made anything larger than 60″ square!). I was my original design, a medallion with a feathered star in the middle (I drafted my own to get the size I needed). There were 9 borders around it, some were simple, some complicated. I used a block I liked (arrowhead) and pulled design elements from it for border blocks in different rounds. The background fabric was some I had purchased in Germany when I was stationed there. I took it over to Jinny Beyer’s Studio and spent three hours with an associate picking out an additional 13 fabrics. I had it professionally quilted. It turned out beautifully. I was so proud of that quilt. And I swore then and there never to make another commissioned quilt.
My favorite finished quilt was a quilt I made for my daughter’s bestie for her new baby! I was so excited to have something to give to her that was handmade and with lots of love.
My favorite quilt, is the first one I ever finished. It was a challenge with 5 other friends. We all used the same fabric, but chose our own patterns and kept the pattern a secret until we were finished. That’s s was some 40 years ago. This was in the day when quilts were either tied or hand quilted. I was a mom of 3 and working, so my mom came over many days to help me hand quilt it, so I would have it done in the time allotted.
It’s well used now, but I love it.
My favorite quilt is from a Piecemaker’s Calendar. It was offered as a block of the month from a now closed store. It was given to my mom!
My favorite quilt I’ve made so far is a flannel of grays, reds, and charcoal, to look like a plaid.
good morning Pat,
I love your channel. My favorite that I have made was a churn dash quilt that I made for our king size bed in fall colors. Lots of fun.
I am new to quilting and have been following Pat Sloan for over a year. I participated in the Wednesday quilt alongside and my favorite quilt is Home Town Charms. I made it with recycled fabrics that I purchased on vacation in Bellingham, Washington at a non-profit textile store. I just love to learn new techniques and expand my quilting skills! I am hooked on quilting and benefit from all the information Pat shares on the Sloan Zone, especially about auditioning fabrics!
my favourite quilt was a guild row by row I finished up for my son. It was based on “life in the North” and featured Northern Lights, raven’s eating garbage, bears and fish.
My favorite quilt is a sampler made with civil war reproduction fabrics. It was fun collecting the fabrics and deciding on the quilt block patterns that were appropriate for that time period. It was also my first entrance for a quilt show. No ribbon for me but I was thrilled with the positive comments from the judge.
My favorite quilt was a lap quilt for my Mom. It was purples and white floral prints with three inch squares. It’s been fold at the foot of her bed since I gave it to her. 😃
My favorite quilt I have made is my Glitter quilt. A Jen Kingwell
Design which I hand pieced & hand quilted with big stitch Aurifil
Floss. I changed up the layout of the original design.
I had a great time choosing the fabrics.
My favorite quilt is my first one! A sampler that I made with help from my aunt.
Hallo,
I’d love to have the logcabin quilt. It’s my favorit color too.
My own favorit quilt is a simple square by square (3″) with each diagonal a dicferent color, changing gradually from browns to liģhts to blues, greens, pinks and going back and forth between them. It’s a twin size, hand pieced and hand quilted with a simple diagonal grid. IT lives with my eldest son now.
LG Leonie
My favorite quilt is a nine block quilt from Summer Soiree. It hangs permanently in my living room!
My favorite quilt was my first quilt. It was red, white and blue Quilt of Valor.
My favorite is probably the last one I made, and I called it “Slow Poke”. It was a turtle quilt made for my first grandchild, and the quilting was also turtles, which his parents didn’t notice until later! Thanks, Pat, for the chance to win and for your videos! I LOVE THEM and learning from you!
Hello my friend, My favorite finished quilt was made in 2006 from a free pattern published in the Kansas City Star newspaper. I shared the pattern with my sister, by mail and she made the quilt with me. I was a new quilter, but the sampler was simple and the articles that accompanied it were amazing. It was titled, Borderland in butternut and blue. The theme was regarding Missouri and Kansas roles in the civil war. Colors were butternut yellow and dark union blue. I had it hand quilted by my Methodist women’s quilting group. We would quilt around a frame every Wednesday. Thank you Pat for all that you do for the quilt community.
My favorite finished quilt is one I made in a monthly class. Called sashiko sampler, it was designed by Sylvia Pippen. It is truly beautiful with lots of lovely batiks, sashiko blocks, and applique of tropical flowers. It is truly magnificent!
I loved making the Elephant Stomp blocks so much that I made 2 tops! I finished one for my granddaughter and donated the other top to my local Quilters Unlimited chapter’s auction. Thanks for all your inspiration…
My favourite quilt is the one I gave my mom. It was all hand appliqued flowers, took me over a year to find the correct fabrics and I was so afraid to mess it up I got a longarmer friend to quilt it. Mom loved it, knowing I dislike hand applique!
My favorite quilt I’ve made was the 1st one I made, a Sunbonnet Sue for a birthday gift for a 3 year old. I had never made a quilt before so lots of mistakes, but it was fun playing with accessorizing the little “dolls”. It started me on my quilt making journey & she still loves that quilt 25 years later.
My favorite quilt was a t-shirt quilt for my son-in-law. It was with baseball shirts from when he was in school. When I gave it too him it was like he was transported back in time. He could remember every shirt and the games it represented. He was so excited about it that he had his mother and brother come see it. He was so happy tgat he couldn’t stop smiling. For me that was such a reward that it made all the time totally worth it. Nothing is better than the smiles on his face. It just warms the heart. It would be awesome to spread his joy around the world.
My Favorite quilt I made was the 2nd quilt I made in 1997. I was making it for my son. Since then I have had to repair it, but I seen it the other day when I went to my son’s house. He wasn’t feeling well from working out in the heat. He was sitting on the couch covered with that quilt, and my heart overwhelmed with joy seeing it. It was all hand made, and hand quilted because I didn’t own a sewing machine at that time, but had a desire to quilt it was 2 big log cabin blocks that looked like a door with borders.
My favourite quilt was my first Pat Sloan Wednesday blocks in Summer Camp. I used mainly stash in browns, soft greens and golds with a pop of red in the heart. My quilting friend Elise and I did it at the same time and that made it super fun. I took a year with it as a UFO until I long armed it. But now it is done.
My favorite quilt I made was a block of the month by Shabby Fabrics Berries and Blossoms. I called for reds and beige. I found a second pattern called Berries and blossoms II. Also made it with left over fabrics and others.
My favorite quilt was my very first quilt. A friend was going to teach me back in the 90s and said to wash and iron my fabric. So I washed and ironed and put them fabrics on coat hangers – I mean, why go to all that trouble and have it get wrinkled. She laughed and laughed at me!! The problem with the quilt I chose a Noah’s arch pattern with individual blocks – whew! The flying geese were about 1 1/2 inches – 30 of them! With her help – I completed it! Even though it was a very difficult top to make, I did complete it and was hooked. Fun memories! CONGRATS, Pat, on 100,000 subscribers. Always enjoy watching – many times, more than once! xoxo
Too Many quilts to think back on but one of my many favorites has been the recent “comfort” quilt I organized with friends to give to a young boy who had been in the hospital with a rare condition that took several months to even figure out what was wrong! We made him a pinwheel quilt that had dogs or blue colors in them and then I arranged in a color tone light to dark arrangement with a multi-dog print background, may friends and I had never met him but I met his aunt through a Volunteer Zoom group we belong too, and that’s all it took for this collaboration to begin. He LOVED the quilt and it has become one of his favorite things for when he receives treatments for this condition he is challenged with! Attached a lovely embroidered label for him to remember that he is loved! His adoptive mom (his grandmother) was just so touched by such an effort for him.
My favorite quilt is My Happy Place by Lori Holt. It hangs in my sewing room. I have a terminally ill daughter, and this is my stress release place. The quilt makes me smile, and lightens the darkness a bit.
My favorite is a quilt for my first grandchild- it’s the alphabet made in blocks
I have two favourites that I struggle to pick between. One is a log cabin Christmas tree wall hanging and the other is a pattern called jagged x that I made during COVID times. I have a very warm and peaceful feeling when I look at or use both these quilts. I love the fabric choices I made and the memories of making them bring me joy. Fall of 2019 is when I discovered you and I am so grateful as you too have brought me great joy and I have leveled up my quilting thanks to you.
My favourite quilt was made in 2016 with a layer cake of your Sunday drive with other fabric from my stash. I used 1/2 triangles and made the Around the World pattern. I FMQd a leaf and flower design. I just came out so gorgeous and I displayed in my sewing until last year when I gave it to a friend’s Son for his wedding present. I know he and his wife love it and it sits at the end of their bed. Getting the thank you note telling me that filled my heart with happiness.
Congratulations on the 100,000 viewers. You have been waiting for that special day. I love all my quilts, but one that comes to mind is Wendy Sheppard’s elephant pattern and quilt along with you. I made a baby quilt with your fabric and it was so cute. It went to a special friend’s first born son. Thank you for all you do for us. You are so sincere and giving.
Oh gosh, every quilt becomes a favorite of mine, but if I had to choose just one it would be my “Beary Cherry” Quilt. In my hometown we have a annual festival every summer called Cherry Carnival which is hosted by the Volunteer Fire Department. The town I live is is called Bear River…. so I wanted to make a quilt for my love of my hometown, and my love of this festival. I combined Elizabeth Hartmans Bjorn Bear, with Lori Holts FarmGirl Vintage Cherry, and the classic Bear Paw Block to make the most epic (to me) pattern mashup of all time. <3
