Today is the kick-off day for the Moda Size Matters Blog Hop and Giveaway! This has been a long time coming...and I'm excited to start the blog hop on day one, along with Edyta of Laundry Basket Quilts and Brigitte of Zen Chic!
Our latest collection for Fall 2013, Josephine, is coming soon! Filled with our deep reds and pinks, rich browns, and naturals, the Josephine Collection is inspired by Napoleon's first wife, Josephine de Beauharnais. The first Empress of France was a lover of all things botanical and kept a rose garden at Chateau de Malmaison that rivaled the best English gardens of the time. For our Josephine Collection, we included beautiful old florals as well as fantasy florals and small petite prints - perfect for mixing into a quilt!
Last Spring, Lissa Alexander, Moda's master marketing gal, asked each of the Moda designers to chose a block to create. At the Moda Schoolhouse, we each stood up and presented our block, along with a story of how the block fit into the chosen theme: Size Matters. I took the theme quite literally...I made my block bigger....
and better.....
When I stood up to present my block, I told everyone I really thought that the point of the project was to make our block bigger - and better! Little did I realize that everyone else had a block that was actually useable...6x6, 8x8 or even 12x12. Oh well, my block was designed to be turned into a portable picnic blanket - complete with tie - so you can wear it over your shoulder as you walk to your perfect spot to picnic! That's Molly's Stella up there sitting on the blanket...she's always ready to picnic!
We've also designed a beautiful, large Flying Geese inspired quilt with our new collection, Josephine. Designed by myself and JZ, sewn by the talented Penny Tucker, and quilted by Cheryl Yamamoto...this quilt, as well as all of our quilts, is truly a team effort. As many of you know, designing quilts has not come easy to me...but this quilt seemed to flow...I loved the combination of the classic style and the ability to show off the fabric at the same time.
Order the Josephine Quilt Pattern Here
Over the years six years of designing fabric for Moda, I have learned that size really does matter! Once I settle on a theme for a collection, I go digging in my fabric archives for inspiration. I look for a couple of large scale prints, a few mediums and a handful of small, or ditsy prints. Being fairly new to the quilt business, I have learned how important the variety of scale is. Too many large prints and there is not enough depth or diversity - too many small prints and the design of the quilt can begin to lose itself. I am so thankful for friends and teachers that have helped me learn this along the way....it's been an important tool for me while designing collections and the accompanying quilts.
Thanks to Moda, I have a handful of giveaways to accompany this blog hop, as well as some cute Josephine Hankies, so go ahead and leave me a comment about your favorite size quilt to sew...is it a lap quilt, a baby quilt or something larger? Sofia will choose the lucky winners within the week and we will send out some prizes! Thanks for playing along and hope to see some of you in Houston!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 703 Newer› Newest»I love the BIG BLOCK idea - many possibilities come to mind. My favorite size quilt (to make) is a throw/lap.
I enjoy making any size.I am happy as long as I am sewing!
I love doing lap size quilts with small pieces and prints!
I love tiny little quilts but don't have the eyes and patience for them anymore, so I try to collect them when I find them or even just old unfinished squares - those have a story to tell.
Your big block picnic quilt is so fun! I'm excited to make one:) I love your fabrics-they speak to my soul. Thanks for sharing with us.
Well, I love to make king size quilts, but I only finish baby size ones!!!
Thanks for the chance for the giveaway.
My favorite quilts are finished quilts Of any size. I have been making smaller snuggle quilts for my grandchildren. Very cute picnic quilt! Thank you for the treats. Janitor
I love to do miniatures.
I like lap quilts and wall hanging, thanks for the giveaway.

I simply love French General fabric! Currently, I'm sewing a Queen-size quilt for a retiring co-worker who saw Gerri Robinson's pattern "Pinwheel Panache" using the French General fabrics. I changed Gerri's pattern from 9" squares to 12" squares and I'm using the diamonds of the Lemoyne Star instead of the half square triangles (the set in seams are a bit of a challenge). I can hardly wait for her new book to come out!
My favorite size quilt is a lap quilt because they are easy enough to manage on my home machine so I don't have to send them out to my longarm quilter.
Love your big block! If I make one of these I might actually finish the quilt. My favorite size quilt to make is a lap size (I know my sewing limits)...but I love to wrap up in the biggest quilt I can find!
I prefer making wall hangings or lap quilts. I have enough bed size quilts and I like changing my wall hangings to fit the changing seasons. Thanks for the chance to win.
Large blocks make me nervous - I love minatures and working with 1" pieces soothes my soul.
Hi:
My two most favorite sizes are baby and bed size. I love sleeping under a quilt and only bed size will do for me.
I love your block! And I love stars!
Thanks so much,
Mary

I love your block and new quilt. I am going to order the pattern in a minute. I like lap size and bed size.
My favorite size quilt to make varies from my collage greeting cards at 5" X 9" to table runners to display quilts at 45" square. These sizes are manageable for machine quilting and embellishing.
Judy Murrah
I love making large quilts. They are great in winter to keep me and my family warm and cosy.
Marian
I REALLY do love working on larger sized quilts. But time constraints leave me with little time for anything much bigger then throws!
Lap size or bigger for me. I don't make many wall hangings or smaller quilts, unless it's a baby quilt and then it's as a gift. Thanks!
My favorite size quilt these days is a good size for snuggling under and napping. They get used a lot.
I've been on a large quilt kick lately....need to take a break from that soon and make some smaller ones!
Baby quilts or lap size are my favorites. Just finished a king size one but it way a bit difficult to handle. Love your new pattern
I love the oversized block! I like to make big quilts because I want to be able to snuggle in them and not have my toes peek out of the end.
I love all quilt sizes. The big ones are so beautiful on the beds but it is also nice to make the smaller ones because you finish quicker. I love wall hangings, candlemats, baby size and king size. They are all great. Love your fabric collections, keep up the good work.
Now I want to try a Big block quilt. I have a four block quilt started, but not a one block quilt. My favorite quilts are baby quilts...because they're small. I seem to have problems finishing quilts. I can see the new quilt in my mind before the last five quilts are complete. I don't think I have ADHD, but can I use that as an excuse?
I'm making a few red/white quilts right now and your fabrics will make a perfect quilt to go along with them. Most of my quilts are queen size; but lately, large lap size quilts are being made (we are a tall family).
I'm finding I like littler and littler quilts - in a busy life, it's something accomplished. Thank you for the giveaway!
Of course size matters, the bigger the stash pile the better. I particularly like to make baby quilts as I know they will always be loved. My children are all teenagers now but still like to have their baby quilts at the end of their beds. Te quilts were made by a friend and each have their name embroidered on them. Thank you for a lovely giveaway too.

Yes, my favorite is lap size.
Wow! That is definitely a big block. My favourite size for a quilt is lap sized. It always looks great, and doesn't take too long to make up and quilt.
Really, I have to say, my favorite size quilt is usually the one I'm working on at the moment. Wall quilts seem to be the favorite currently, but I have a couple bed sized planned. Love the Josephine fabric line--so pretty
Any size means we are creating! They are all fun.
My favorite size is a nice big one large enough to wrap up in. But I mostly have finished smaller wall size ones myself. Love the idea of the picnic blanket, thanks for sharing the pattern.
I am a hand quilter; therefore, the smaller the quilt as in lap-size the faster I can finish and give as a gift. So lap-size quilts are my favorite size.
I used to love lap quilts...but as my sewing skills have improved (and I'm less nervous about quilting the larger quilts), my favorite size quilt to make has grown to double size!!!
caribousmom (at) gmail (dot) com
I prefer to make baby quilts because I can try new patterns quickly.
I love making and actually finishing up lap quilts. They are just more manageable! I'd love to finish a bed quilt someday!
Ilene
I really like small size quilts. One day I'd like to try a full size quilt.
I used to believe that only a full or larger could really be a quilt. Silly me, as I learned more and wanted to make more any size is my favorite now. I just want to quilt something. Thanks for the chance to win. OP
I like a large lap size quilt best. I find bigger ones too heavy, harder to use, and harder to store. Lap sized quilts are great snugglers.
Love love your designs! My favorite quilt is a queen size- so I can wrap those I love with love!
I like all sizes but the lap quilts are sure easier to quilt!
dianemrose@comcast.net
miniature, so tricky but satisfying!
I love to make bedquilts, so 60x80 inch or larger for my shop. And can hardly wait till the Josephine fabrics will come to the Netherlands :)
Your big block is really a big big block!
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Marina Fluit
It's all about the babies for my friends lately - and with three kids of my own, I find the child size projects are great at the moment - with some bigger projects going at the same time. Us quilters are never just sticking to one favorite, are we? :)
I guess I usually make them either throw sized or to fit the top of a full sized bed.
My favorite size to make is a throw or lap size quilt. I've become more realistic as a seasoned quilter, and I know I will finish a throw quilt !! Thanks for the pattern and giveaways !
I just purchased some beautiful French General for a purse believe it or not. My favorite color is red and I love your lines. Always gorgeous! Don't have a specific size. Size doesn't matter to me in this instance.
I like to make lap quilts. Although I do make the odd large one and lots of little wall hanging quilts.
My fav. size to make is Queen-size, for my bed and for the beds of those that I love. (Friends usually just get lap size...)
I don't even have to think about it - my favorite size is lap top.
I really enjoy making lap quilts! Thank you for the chance !
I just did the big star quilt. I liked the big blocks. I just put it in the quilt frames last week. Love the picnic blanket. Looks so easy.
I think I like making a lap quilt the best. It is something that I can quilt myself and is a nice size for a gift. Thanks for the great hop!
My favorite quilt size to USE is a lap quilt. So that's what I make, usually. But my favorite quilt size to MAKE is a baby/crib quilt-- they are quick and so satisfying to make :) Your designs are beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win!

I like lap quilts best. There are so many patterns out there that I want to try.
I really like to make lap-sized quilts to snuggle with or hang on a wall. Thanks.
Love the big block and the dog sitting on it!
My current project is a large bed quilt for my granddaughter; but for myself I love small quilts for table toppers, runners, wall hangings and throws to snuggle under. UMMMM...guess you could say I love em all. LOL
I like to make lap quilts. they are not so big that they are hard to handle.
I love your picnic blanket. I usually make lap quilt size.
Oh, I'm laughing so hard at the size of that block, but really it would make an awesome table cover or a nice place to sit down and have a peanutbutter sandwich and enjoy the outdoors!! I just picked up some precuts of Josephine, and haven't decided what will come out of it, but love the prints!
I like making lapsized quilts the best!
I like to make bed sized quilts for their usefulness, but sometimes I like something smaller so it will be easier to quilt. Size does matter when you are stuff it into a home sewing machine!
I love making lap quilts. One, they are quickly made and the thought of a loved one curling up with the quilt puts a smile on my face. It's my virtual hug.
Being fairly new to quilting, I have only made two pillows, a cradle quilt and a 5'x 5' lap quilt. I really enjoyed making them all! Each size a new adventure! ~*
I love working on all size quilts. Right now I am working on a lap quilt, inspired by my trip to the State Fair. Love the moda hops! Thanks for a chance to win some fun STUFF!
Hi, I didn't really mean to remain anonymous, but my google account wasn't cooperating.
Barb H.
My favorite size quilt to make is a lap quilt. They go together fast and I can quilt it without a problem on my DSM.
Thanks for the star pattern. Bigger can be better.
I love lap quilts! Anything smaller than a twin or bigger than a baby, lol. I just read Jospehine's biography when I was sick recently. It was a great read. She had a very interesting life before meeting Napolean.
I love to make bed sized quilts.
Love the big block! My favorite size is a lap quilt.
Jan St.
I love the big block,
Surely does seem like King is my favorite size quilt to make. Lately, it's been the bigger the better. Absolutely LOVE your BIG block! ☺ Thanks a bunch for the chance to win your awesome giveaway!
Quilt size all depends on the moment. I have 2 baby quilts to finish up, a wall hanging for the winter season, and a wonderful fall lap quilt. As you can tell I love them all. No favorites for me. Love your picnic blanket quilt.
As much as I love a beautiful large quilt, the size I generally make is lap-size, much more achievable to acutally finish! So good to see your lovely big block/quilt, it is stunning in it's simplicity. Loving the new fabric line too...
This is a hard one. I can handle machine quilting runners and wallhangings myself, so then I feel I did the whole thing. But we have lots of lap quilts. My kids would like them all to be twin size because they are tall and can totally wrap themselves in them when watching TV.
Hmmm... I like to make lap quilts, but I'm always amazed by king-sized quilts. The detail and the hard work that goes into them is truly inspiring. Someday I'll make one for myself, too!
I love your big block! I also had fun reading the blogs on the hop. Thanks for the chance to win!
Donna
I love lap quilts. Great BIG block. lia.vandenbrand@live.nl
I enjoy making quilts of all size but tend to make more baby size quilts as I make a lot to donate to various charities.
I like to make lap quilts because it doesn't take as long. That way I can make more.
Linda J.
Love your BIG block. I like to make lap quilts because everyone uses them more often.
Love your BIG block. I like to make lap quilts because everyone uses them more often.

I really like the Josephine line You are one of the designers I look at to see what you are up to. Thank you!
The pattern is very nice and the fabrics and quilts give inspiration. Would love to win a give away, and maybe I will start anorther double bed sized quilt...
Love to make 32-36 inch table topper quilts a lot. Love Josephine fabric and pattern - really like flying geese. Thanks for sharing your star pattern and sponsoring the wonderful giveaways.
90-100" square for me but occasionally I will make smaller for a baby or child....
Because I work full time...lap quilts are perfect for me. I have made one king size...and it was out of your fabric...my boss and his wife celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year and your beautiful Rouenneries Deux was a perfect match for their bedroom. Two jelly rolls later...I had a stunning rail fence quilt that I was so proud of. Thank you for sharing with us and for a chance to win. See you in Houston.
I love lap quilts snuggling under them at night!!
Loved your picnic sized block! I'm a new quilter, drawn to simpler geometric blocks, so it's perfect for me. And the Josephine fabrics are gorgeous!
Rightnow my favorite size is a large enough quilt for two people to cuddle under on those really cold nights!
Love the big block! My favorite size quilt is a twin size, only because it's a bed quilt, a throw, a picnic quilt, can go into the car, wrap you up to take the dog out, make you feel better if you are feeling poorly!
Lately I want to make lap quilt or slightly larger, but for some reason they then to spread out to an oversized queen!!
Your block will make a wonderful picnic blanket!!
One large block = instant quilt! Works for me!! Love it!!!
My favorite quilts are baby quilts and lap quilts....I actually finish those!!
I love the picnic blanket. My favorite size quilt is queen. I like to make utility quilts that my family will use day in and day out.
My favorite size is the throw quilt, because people seem to enjoy wrapping up in it while sitting on the couch.
I like to make all different sizes of quilts, keeps life interesting! Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
I seem to be drawn to lap sized quilts because they are quickly completed and allow me to get on to my next project ... so many quilts to make, so little time. LOVE all of your fabric lines ... add to my stash each time you release one! Keep up the great design work ;-) Linda
I love all size quilts ... but probably baby sized best. I think that may be since I can finish them fairly quickly and can quilt them on my domestic sewing machine.
I am a mini fan myself but I love your work. Thank you
I don't think I have a favorite because I like to make teeny, tiny minis, table toppers, wall hangings, and lap size quilts. I never seem to make very large quilts though.
Thanks for sharing - enjoyed your post.
Charlotte S.
My favorite size t omake is King!
I love making lap or twin-sized quilts most. I like that they're not so big that they're awkward to wrangle!
I love to make kid size quilts - 45 x 54. They are the perfect size to donate to charitable organizations.
My favorite is making baby quilts for family and friends. It's such a joy thinking about the new babies. They are also much easier to quilt on my machine.
I love making quilts that are largen enough for picnics and to wrap up in and read! Fabulous large block! Merci!
I love wall hangings. But I also love to make a lap quilt so I can be cozy. Love Josephine!
I like to make lap quilts. I feel like it is a good size for a quilt to get a lot of use.
Lap and wall quilts are the size that I really enjoy making. They're small enough to finish quickly but large enough to try different techniques. Your idea of the large block quilt is super!! I'm definitely going to try that one! Thanks so much for inspiring me! Happy Quilting.
Being a newbie quilter, right now I prefer a lap size quilt. Its nice to finish a project and have it to admire. Maybe I'll use some of my French General fabrics on the big block. What a cool idea!
I don't mind making large quilts, but baby quilts are so fun and quick.
I love the picnic quilt. SIZE DOES MATTER. I usually make large quilts.
Thank-you for the contest.
Baby quilts and lap quilts are my favorites. You have fun while you're making them and it doesn't take forever, then you can start another one!
Oh boy, blog hoppin! My favorite size is a crib size. Looking forward to all the reads.
I like to make lap size because it is easier for me to quilt.
Your "big is better quilt block" gave me a chuckle. Thanks for sharing. Of course I would love to win one of your prizes. I love making lap size quilts the best, the size is easy to handle and quilt on my machine.
My favorite size quilt to work on is a lap quilt or a wall hanging size. I love the bigger bed quilts but they take so much longer to make and I want to see my finished quilt sooner!
This is a great giveaway and I love the picnic quilt. Great idea!
Lap quilts and wall quilts are my favorite. They are fast and fun tomake.
what fun! lately I have been making small quilts for my wire table top hanger. thanks for the giveaway
I love lap sized. A decently quick finish, yet lots of options for sizing and arrangement!
Your fabrics again are so lovely!
My favorite size quilt to have is full but my favorite to sew is lap size - I like quick finishes :)
Love the big block! It will be great for those times I need a quick baby quilt, and baby quilts are my favorite size to make. Thanks!
I love all the sizes. Big quilts to put on a bed, smaller for naps and to welcome a baby.
My favorite size to make is a lap quilt or a baby quilt. I have previous made several larger quilts, queens and twins, and they are still just flimsys. Thanks for the chance to win!
I LOVE your picnic roll up. Is that going to be a new pattern???
Because of my fibromyalgia, I am finding it easier to quilt lap size,. Thanks for the chance
I make mostly lap or twin size quilts. I have a queen size quilt ready to quilt - all pinned up and everything. Just can't bring myself to put it under the machine as I know it'll take a lot of my sewing time. I enjoy the piecing over the quilting. Maybe I should find a long-arm quilter.
mostly I've made baby quilts, I also have some lap quilts under my belt. Now I'm venturing into queen size quilts. Wish me luck. Thanks for all the fun and the giveaway gift.
I like modest sized wallhangings because they are easier to quilt and I have a long balcony rail to hang them on.
Ha ha loved your giant block! I like making a variety of quilt sizes....Depending on my mood. Baby sand throw size charity quilts are fun because I can get them finished fast. Wall hanging if I want immediate gratification, and bed sized quilts because I enjoy the process of quilting from start to finish!
I love your fabric line, thanks for sharing your block. I enjoy making bigger quilts, my first was a quilt top made with a French General jelly roll.
I like the doll size quilts or a little bit larger size quilt that can be used for hanging on an old cupboard door. Thank you for a chance to win! ~Christine
I can only deal with the smaller sizes. Bed quilts are for another. But Josephine has my heart--my mother's name.
My favorite size quilt is a baby quilt. They go together quickly, and it is easy for me to finish them myself using my home sewing machine.
Your big block is amazing... had to laugh as I read what you wrote. I love to make baby quilts for my grandchildren and for friends' babies.
Your Josephine fabric sounds so lovely. I'm looking forward to seeing it in my local quilt shop.
Lap quilts are my favorite size, but only because my free time is so limited. I have a tiny house and not a lot of room for large quilts. But someday...big quilts!
I love lap quilts. They are so easy to drag around for use.
A definite stash buster lock!
Beautiful fabrics! I like your picnic quilt--very useful--size does matter!
My favorite quilt currently is lap size. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite is a lap quilt right now. :) Thanks for a chance to win! :)
My favorite size quilt is a baby or lap size. Much better chance that I will finish it than a larger size.
I like smaller projects, you can finish quicker and move onto the next.
Debra
I like to sew medium size quilts- like about 78 x 80. They are a good size to curl up in, along with a good book, and not have your feet be cold!
So far, lap quilts are my favorite, but I really want to get into making miniatures.
I love making all sizes. A lap or a wallhanging is faster but I love making king size quilts for my bed! Love French General and Josephine looks beautiful!
My favourite are lap quilts for something quick and queen size quilts when I have more time.
Terrific giveaway, thanks for the chance to win!!
I like making lap quilts best
I guess my favorite size is a lap quilt. Because I can make them faster I love to think about people snuggling under them.
Of course wallhangings, lap size quilts and baby quilts are quicker to finish, but quicker isn't always better. Love your "big" block!
Size does matter and more and more I am making wall or lap size quilts in order to get more done.
I love to make lap quilts. They go together quickly. This way I am always ready for my next project.
I enjoy making large lap quilts -- long enough to tuck under your feet and still go up to your chin -- snuggle-worthy! :-)
Your fabrics are beautiful no matter what size blocks you make.
Most of the quilts I have made have been either lap or baby sized. I don't have a very long attention span so I need to strike while the iron is hot and get something finished NOW. Plus I have a very basic sewing machine and machine quilting is too hard on anything larger than the smaller quilts. :)
Lap quilt for sure.....love the picnic quilt....
I make lots of lap size wall hangings ...traditional is my chosen style. But we just found out we are having our first grandbby in March and I can feel lots of baby quilts on the way
My favorite quilt lately has actually been receiving blankets, I have made 4 in the last 2 months, too many babies, hahaha! I really love the idea of a one block picnic blanket, I think it's inspired. Thank you for sharing and for being such a fantastic designer, I love what you've come out with!

My favorite size quilt is a crib quilt. I have made 7 for my very special grandchildren!!! Love your fabrics!
I like all sizes, from table mats, wall hangings and throws. I have made several twins and one king size.
Lately I buy lots of kits which are usually on the larger size. I love your fabrics and have two of your kits waiting patiently to be started. Thanks for the pattern and the chance to win the give away.
love your bigger and better quilt! Most of my quilts have been crib size, which I love. I am working on handquilting a lap size quilt next.
(majesticjenkinsATgmailDOTcom)
I tend to like making quilts on the smaller size. Enjoyed hearing the back story on your new collection. I do like your block in the large size.
I like twin size, it's a good snuggler size for when lying about on the sofa reading a book. Love your block, boy it indeed is BIG! LOL!
I love your big block. And especially how you turned it into a picnic blanket. So clever. I am still fairly new to quilting so I love making baby quilts. Especially since we see to be having a rash of new great nephews and nieces lately. So fun.
My favorite size quilt to make is usually around 80 X 93 or so.
Am fairly new to quilting, so my favorite size ('cause is largest size so far) is Throw Size! lol Have made several baby Size tho too.
I love your big block! What a fun interpretation of the theme!
My favorite size? I don't have one but I almost always make bed quilts and most are queen or larger. My bed is a king and I always use it to layout quilts (no design wall room here I have design bed). So, I tend to fill the spaces with more blocks! Thank you for the chance to win!
Loving red and especially reds with a vintage French flare I am hooked on French General designs and always look forward to the next collection. My philosophy has always been "some is good, more is better",laughter..family..friends..
so I tend to make larger usable quilts that can be grown into or cuddled under.
My favorites to make are baby quilts. Love the mental image of a baby snuggled in a cozy quilt. Love your blog!
I think my favorite size is a lap. Big enough to play with, small enough to get done in a reasonable amount of time.
I love your block! It's wonderful.
I love a lap size. The kids can drag it to wherever they're going...games, sleepovers...the living room couch and always have a warm hug wherever they go! Thanks for sharing! Love the block!
What a fun quilt! My favorite size has to be the lap quilt, thanks for a fun giveaway!
Most of my quilts are lap size, but I am currently working on a queen size quilt for my husband. I love the French General fabrics.
Usually tend to sew lap to twin size
quilts to go on my boys beds, and the
back of the sofa. Thanks for the
opportunity to win.
I love to make all size of quilts as long as I am sewing something then I am in my happy place! I to have made a HUGE block then quilted it up for a baby! the recipients just loved it so That made my day.
My favorite size to make is wallhanging or smaller. I am very successful in making small items, but a big one is very daunting for me. Interesting comments on large and small prints in putting together a collection. Thanks for sharing!
I have made all sizes, but I think wall hanging is my favorite. I love the BIG block idea. One block and done!! I love the colors, no quilt is complete without Red..... A yoyo....and possibly ric rac..........thanks for the opportunity to win a gift and the free block!!!!
Love, love, love French General
I have to say, I would probably have come to the meeting with a really big block, too, since it doesn't seem it was made completely clear. =) As for favorite size, I don't think I have one. If I'm making a bed quilt I usually make double or queen because that's what most people have. I make a lot of lap throws, and a number of baby quilts, but it's all in how much fabric I have and what the need is. Thanks for the chance to win something. It's always fun!

All of my Quilts seem to end up approx. twin size, not always planned that way thou.
I am so unimaginative that I never change the size of a quilt from what the designer planned. One good thing about that is that you have many different size quilts...if only I would finish one completely!
I like the huge pattern of your churn dash.
I prefer a lap quilt because I can more easily complete it and get a better sense of accomplishment about my projects.
I like making lap quilts, don't really know why... Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite quilt size is lap size. Love your new collection, especially the brown floral :) thanks for the giveaway too!
I love the flying geese pattern - that's a great way to show off a focus fabric that you love!
My favorite size quilt would be a lap quilt or bigger, because I want them to be used. I should do smaller sizes so that I would finish more!
Bed size! They are most useful tome and I amall about useful.
Beautiful and wonderful big block quilt!
Thank you for the large block. I am going to try it your way. After all a blog hop is a learning experience.
I love the literal take on the block and the idea of such a great quilt made from it. I think I will use the pattern for baby quilts I do for our charity bee. Thanks for the chance.
My favorite size is a large lap size. Even in SC we cuddle under quilts in the winter!
My favorite size of quilt is a lap size. I want my quilts to be used and loved by the people they belong too. Maybe not abused.
