Pineapple! Love the brights!
Definitely the Patriot puzzle quilt, but using every scrap color under the sun!!!
Oh I really like the Patriotic Puzzle Quilt .. lots of scraps can go into that one. It would be so fun to sew and look at after. My hubby is a vet so I would have to give it to him when I’m done.
Patriotic Puzzle Quilt for sure!! To begin with it is gorgeous but I make purses for friends and save all the scraps with bags tagged by year I used the fabric. This would be an awesome one for sure as the big request for 2011 was reds, whites and blues. Totally love it!!!
I love the blue and white flower quilt.
DEFINITELY THE ‘PATRIOT PUZZLE’!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
Homeland Skies would definitely be a pick of mine to make, and I also really love the Saddle Tramp Scrappy Rustic Star!
Looks like a great must have magazine issue. I would like to make the Patriotic Puzzle quilt. I love the colors used in that one.
Patriotic puzzle quilt….my favorite kind of quilting and scrap quilting, too.
I love the Patriotic Puzzle quilt. I could use up so many different colored scraps!
I’d like to do the Pineapple Tidbits. I have way too many scraps & this quilt just might put a small dent in them!
I’d love to try the modern quilt in batiks. I’d tend to do quilts that have sharp contrasts and I believe this design would encourage me to work on more subtle combinations. But they’re all gorgeous!
Timless blue and white. I would also use english paper pieced flowers in it because I have made so many of them I need to get them on quilts quickly! Love your magazine! Thanks so much.
The beautiful blue and white quilt…I think one like that would look great on my bed.
Patriotic puzzle intrigues me! That will be first on my list.
I would love to try the patriotic puzzle quilt. I love the stars!
I want to make the snuggly baby blanket. It is adorable!!!
I love the Homeland Skies Patriotic puzzle quilt! That would definitely be the first on my list to make!
I have searched and searched for a quilt design for my collection of printed feedsacks from the 40′s-50′s. The blue and white quilt pattern really caught my attention. I think the colors could be adapted for the prints that I have. I would love to make a throw from these feedsacks that my grandchildren would have in the future. I fondly remember my mother making my school dresses from them in the early 50′s when we lived in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. As a teacher, I cherished reading Dolly Parton’s book, Coat of Many Colors, to my students and telling them how my mother made a lot of my clothes from these feedsacks. Thank you for sharing this design.
Most definately the blue and white applique.
Serect passage would be the best with batiks, thanks
I really like the Pineapple Tidbits pattern.
I love the Scrapbag Bounty quilt!
without a doubt, patriotic puzzle! Love all quilts with our country’s theme.
I like the blue and white quilt pattern–but it needs to be red and white!!!
The flannel quilt for baby would be adorable and cozy warm for my soon to be born grand niece or nephew. Love it!
A beautiful issue!
I am with the majority and would love to do the Patriotic Puzzle,
The Homeland Skies is my personal favorite ! I so want to learn and master making those stars , love the way they look no matter what fabric/ season you make it for
Timeless Blue and white has my interest. Thanks for a chance to win the magazine. I love looking at all the talent.
The blue & white have my eye today. Thanks for this opportunity.
I would love to make the Patriotic Puzzle Quilt . I love the design and those colors.

loved the snuggly flannel baby quilt
I love the Secret Passage: Easy Modern Batik Wall Quilt Pattern and have a stash of batiks just waiting to be used.
I would have a problem choosing between the Homeland Skies and the Saddle Tramp. My husband just gave me my Christmas present-a new sewing machine-, the first time I have had one I could actually quilt on!! Now I just need some patterns and some good ideas. Thank you.
I have to say the patriotic puzzle quilt is my favorite, love those stars!
I would love to make the patriotic puzzle quilt. It looks like a lot of fun to make.
I would love to make the patriotic puzzle quilt. My family adopted a soldier, then serving in Iraq, about 5 yrs ago. She’s now on her 2nd deployment in Afghanistan. This would be a perfect gift for her.
I definitely would start with the patriotic homelands stars.
I would definitely make The House that Kaffe Built quilt. I have always loved those houses and have wanted to make one of those quilts for a long time.
I would think my first quilt I would make out of this would be the pineapple one… I have been looking for a quilt to practice foundation piecing!
I would make the modern one with the batiks.
Love the Big Boy Rooster and Hen quilt. Live in the city and can only have the quilted kind of rooster and chickens.
Iwould LOVE to make Pineapple Tidbits! It looks so cheery!
