My wonderful blogger friend Nancy over at
Pug Mom Quilts! hosted two giveaways in February. I was the lucky recipient of a free pattern by
Quilt Lily owned by Karen Pratt. Karen has some awesome patterns! It was hard to choose just one. There are a come of wall hangings that are really cute, but in the end I'm a sucker for a star pattern. Plus, I haven't finished my wall hanging that I started last summer. One thing at a time...
Star Passion comes in three sizes: lap, twin and queen. After looking at the pattern it seems like the hardest part will be choosing a size and fabric. I was so excited to see pictures AND pressing instructions. Happy Dance!!! Pattern writers, I'll let you in on a secret, a picture is worth a thousand words. Seriously. But words are still needed. ;) It will be awhile before I am able to put this pattern on my cutting table but it should be a quick quilt to put together.
Speaking of quilts, I should have one of the t-shirt quilts from my
1QFAL done by the end of the weekend. So hopefully another post coming soon! I know, several posts in one week!
Note: This is all my own thoughts and words. I was not given endorsements by either of these wonderful ladies. I am just showing my appreciation for winning a giveaway.
Thanks for reading!

Hollie, That was so sweet of you to write a post about your new pattern. I am so glad that you are happy with your winnings and your choice. Karen is an Engineer by day and writes excellent instructions. Can't wait to see what you make!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! Star blocks are so fun and versatile, and I agree - picking out the fabric will be so much fun. I really appreciate when pattern writers give pressing instructions too. I hope you have fun making your new quilt!
