I'm baking at the Moda Bake Shop today...

...if you are visiting here for the first time and have come from the Moda Bake Shop, welcome to my blog.  If you are a regular follower...welcome and thank you for visiting again.  
It is always fun when you are playing with fabric...and precuts are definitely fun to play with.  In May 2012 I was participating in a quilt-a-long using half square triangles made with 5" charm squares...I had all the hst's made, even had them all trimmed, laid them out on the floor, fully intending to follow along with the quilt-a-long group.  I struggled with this quilt and just wasn't happy with the fabric choices for this quilt-a-long, I picked up the blocks and put them in a pizza box...another UFO was born...out of sight, out of mind.  I abandoned the quilt-a-long June 2012...:o(
This past summer I decided I had to start finishing some of my ufo's, my stack of pizza boxes was getting too tall...out of control.  I had finished a few ufo's and then decided it was time to work on the Fairy Tale Friend hst's...I took all the hst blocks, laid them out on the floor and moved them around many, many times and finally decided on a totally different arrangement from the quilt-a-long.  I like the fabrics with this arrangement so much better.  I had to make a few more hst's from the quilt-a-long requirements...no problem, I still had some charms to work with.  
I bought some of the red pinwheel fabric from Moda's mama said SEW by Sweetwater.  I thought the fabric was perfect...I struggled with the back too and changed my mind and ended with this...
The quilt measures approximately 52" x 52". I used 2 charm packs of Moda's Fairy Tale Friends designed by Sandy Klop for American Jane and 2 charm packs of porcelain #9900-182.  The back is a Bella solid...called Bettys Teal #9900-126, I added some of the the extra charms and a remnant of Moda's Pezzy by Sandy Klop.  It all matched perfect and I love how it all came together...another ufo finished!!

If you would like to make this quilt...Crazyquiltgirl Fabric Shop has the Fairy Tale Friends charm packs and the Honeysweet charm packs that I used on the quilt featured on the Moda Bake Shop.  Corinna also has the Buttermilk Basin Halloween pattern in stock.  It was one of my Wicked Blog Hop projects and that was fun to make too.


Now...if you checked out my quilt on the Moda Bake Shop and stayed with me here you deserve a chance at a giveaway!

2 charm packs of Fairy Tale Friends
3/4 yard of Bella Red or Bella Bettys Teal
...you choose the inner border and binding color

Here's the rules...it's simple...no hoops to jump, I promise.

  • one comment please, duplicates will be deleted before I use Random.org to pick the winner

Good luck everyone

  6. Hi Pauline, I found you through the Moda Bake shop, I love the quilt you designed in both colour ways, thanks so much for sharing, I will pop in again to visit.... of course I will be sewing up to the bitter end, my husband has banned me from making Christmas gifts because he knows I will still be putting in some last minute stitches late Christmas Eve.... I don't listen to him though....;)

  7. Lovely quilt. Wonderful pattern, does it work up pretty quick with precuts?
    I don't usually do hand made Christmas gifts; I don't have time to make *everyone* something, & if people get left out, there are hurt feelings. So, I'll just be going at my usual pace & not stressing over having a hand made holiday

    ReplyDelete
  8. Love it. You always do a great job and have great ideas. Keep up the good work and getting those UFO's done. Think, one less box that will need to find a home when you move back to Canada ;)

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have several quilts to finish before Christmas - all for family. I probably won't finish, but I'll try. I need some relatively small and fairly easy quilts to make - this one fits the bill.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Your quilt is beautiful! I need to make one of these, just can't decide on what fabric I would use. Congrats on being on being on the Moda Bake Shop.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  28. I love you honeysweet version, I am glad you did not give up on the design. Yes, I will be sewing right up to Christmas.

  29. Always sew right up to Christmas. Love both versions!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Saw your recipe on Moda Bake Shop and came over here to check it out too - lovely! One question: why do quilters get so many good gift ideas in the month before Christmas?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great quilt! I'm still sewing...pouches, gift bags, and quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I love the colors in your Moda a Bake Shop quilt! Rcoyle at olemiss dot edu

  33. Your quilt is lovely and the tutorial is great. I like the Fairy Tale Friends version best because the brighter colors appeal to me. Sewing for Christmas? Yes, of course. I start early and go to the last minute anyway! There are always so many gifts I want to make. Thanks for sharing.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Your quilts and tutorial are amazing. Such a lot of work and the result is beautiful. You should be very proud. Wonderful give also. Creative Stitching Bliss...

    ReplyDelete
  35. Love the quilt you posted on the Moda Bake Shop. American Jane fabric is always so wonderful. I'm glad I found your blog. As for Christmas, I have many things yet to create, but I have a new granddaughter who is to arrive 5 days before Christmas. So her special quilt will come first. I did get the kids stockings done already.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Love the patterns, and the honeysweet fabric is gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Thanks for a chance at wonderful give away. I found your blog from Moda BakeShop and love the pattern. Thanks for sharing!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Unfortunately I haven't started my Christmas sewing yet. I promised myself that I would start tomorrow. Of course, I have said that for the last month.

    ReplyDelete
  39. This is a really gorgeous quilt! When I first opened the Moda Bake Shop page, I thought it was a Fig Tree quilt because it looked like the type of pattern they produce, on top of using fabric from Joanna Figueroa. Perfect match of fabric and pattern, anyway.

  40. Your quilt is just gorgeous Pauline! I really love those fabrics a lot. I've always loved American Jane fabric collections. I can't recall any of hers that I didn't love. I would be thrilled to win your giveaway. Thank you so much.

I am a new quilter and have not tried hst's yet, but after the 3 (5?) little projects, I have a couple of quilts in mind that do use them. Thank you for the chance to win. I also love your idea of pizza boxes for your works in progress. Awesome! I bet they would fit in my wire cube shelves too!

  73. Hi Pauline. I have been away on babysitting duties. What a lovely surprise to come back and see you featured at Moda Bake Shop.
    Congratulations!!! Your quilt looks wonderful and you have written a great pattern. I really like the end result with your layout. I love working with HSTs so this one suits me perfectly.
    I wish you luck with the rest of the projects in those pizza boxes.

    ReplyDelete
  74. What a pretty quilt and the pinwheels are just perfect in this quilt. As always, love the bears. Thank you for all you do to inspire us to keep on sewing and quilting. Love your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I checked out your quilt on MBS. I love it! I followed the link to your blog! It a nice one I will continue to visit! Thanks for the inspiration!

    ReplyDelete
  76. I just want to tell you how much I like this quilt. I save most all the MBS patterns and some I print when I am serious to make it. I have printed your pattern and I have put this quilt in my Favorites to remind myself to make this as soon as we are settled. We are moving and it has been hard. The older I get the harder it is and we know for sure we will be moving next year at this time because the house we rented (I have 20 chickens and no one will rent to us because) is on a hill with lots of stairs. I will probably rehome the girls. I have decided I want a nicer place to be settled where I can sew. But, I will make this quilt next year. I have these charm packs and many more. I want to say thank you to you! I love this pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I love every kind of pinwheel possible and your''s is no exception. This will definitely be on my 2014 to do list. I really enjoyed visiting your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Love the pinwheels and especially the narrow sashing/border with the little cornerstones! (And the photographs are always so inviting!)

    ReplyDelete
  79. I'm THRILLED with your MBS pattern, altho I think I'll do this one on your blog ... this solved my "what's a quick baby quilt that I can do with a layer cake" ... this was PERFECT!

    And I'd love to win the giveaway ... thanks for the opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Lovw both quilts. They look easy and fun. The best Christmas treat would be to win!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I've also been working on finishing up some UFOs, but I keep on seeing new patterns I want to try. I have fabrics picked out already for your other MBS pattern (Cobblestone path), and now you have me thinking about trying out this pattern (I've never done triangles before!). Keep up the good work! You're getting so much accomplished!!

    ReplyDelete
