Hello and Welcome to the Quilt Along!
All month you can follow Moda fabric designers and receive a pattern for a 9" quilt block which will eventually make up a beautiful friendship quilt! Today is our day, as well as Lynn from Kansas City Troubles and Kate Spain...be sure to pop over and see my friends too!
Once I start quilting, I will try to make the Moda Friendship Quilt...because I love the idea of having Sofia's friends sign the middle of the blocks and then using them to make up a keepsake quilt for her.

Lissa Alexander sent us all a selection of blocks to choose from and I chose one that reminded me of old French tiles...big surprise there!
In fact, lately I have been dreaming of France and planning our next Chateau Getaway....it's something I do when I am looking for an excuse not to work...wait it is work - right!? This summer, Amy Butler is joining us for two weeks at the chateau in the South of France, to inspire and teach us all about her sense of color! If you would like to come along Summer 2014, please let us know - our waiting list has already begun!
Enough about France...back to the Quilt Along!
Using our new collection, La Belle Fleur, Jody helped me sew up our friendship block and then went a little crazy sewing up a few other fun ideas.... This new group of fabric is filled with the faded reds and pinks that were so often used in 19th century French prints, along with the warm blues and soft teals.
Here's a fun project using up the scraps from your block...a Scrap Book that you can fill with all of your favorite bits and pieces from each collection. I'm big on scraps - in fact, I am thinking of making a fabric scrapbook for each collection I have designed for Moda....just to keep history of our 15 different collections! Sandy Gervais told me to start this years ago, and I failed to listen to her...so now I have to do some catch up work!
And this is our new quilt pattern, La Belle Fleur...using a Carpenter Wheel pattern...reinterpreted by French General, this pattern has two colorways - something for everyone!
We're giving away a bunch of precuts to some lucky winners, so please leave us a comment about your favorite fabric collection from French General over the past five years. Here's a list of the collections to jog your memory:
Rouenneries (and do you know how to pronounce it!?)
Rural Jardin
Lumiere de Noel
Petite Ecole
Maison de Garance
Pom Pom de Paris
Fa La La La
Panier de Fleurs
Rouenneries Deux
Petite Odile
Chateau Rouge

Josephine (coming Fall 2013)
Le Bouquet Francais (coming Spring 2014)
Thanks for playing along and be sure to join our networking site of creative friends at www.the-art-of-craft.com - we would love to see what you are up to!
You can also follow us on instagram at frenchgeneral...for a daily peek into what inspires us!

The Cutting Table
http://modafabrics.blogspot.com/
I made a twister quilt from rural jardin. It has a beautiful red border. A friend made made the same twister with a gray border. She gave hers to her church as a raffle quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your block, it is gorgeous! I have bits and pieces of most of your ranges stashed away, but my favorite is Pom Pom de Paris, it is just so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Rural Jardin & sewed so many things with it. I always get comments as it goes perfectly with natural linen. Kym (kym@websitewise.com.au)
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is still rouenneries the original. You can never repeat the feeling of a brand new, original never seen before fabric line and that's how I felt when rouenneries first came out. I made 2 wedding quilts that year with rouenneries.
ReplyDeleteMy all-time favorite is Rouenneries. I love every quilt I've ever seen made from that fabric! Your block is great!
ReplyDeleteI love Maison de Garance
ReplyDeleteRural Jardin was one of your first collection that I bought!
ReplyDeletehildy(at)ebertzeder(dot)de
My favourite is lumière de noel. Just made a jellyrollrace quilt out of my precious jellyroll and it looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love your block and I think a swatch book is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite line is Rouenneries!
My favorite line was Lumiere de Noel. I made a charm square tote bag for my girlfriend who loved the bag. It was a great Christmas present for her.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line was Lumiere de Noel. I made a charm square tote bag for my girlfriend who loved the bag. It was a great Christmas present for her.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Rouenneries. thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteI love Rouenneries and Maison de Garance, but then i love all things French - I am back learning French again; Merci pour la chance..
ReplyDeleteI love all the reds of Chateau Rouge, and even though I have blue days, I keep coming back to the reds.
ReplyDeleteRouenneries ... rwa-ne-ree? I'd like to know! :o)
I have hoarded/collected most of your fabric lines, but I think my all time favorite is the Pom Pom de Paris. Pink and yellow are two colors I'd normally not gravitate towards, but I love them in quilts--after the blues and reds, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
Definitely Rouenneries! The 1st look at those wonderful warm reds and I was in love. Pronunciation-- not hard -- fun for the mouth and sweet to the ear!
ReplyDeletewow this is really a beautiful block!! I love this fabrics. I would like to win some of the pom pom de paris.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite line would be Chateau Rouge. All of the reds are my favorite color. I collect many from your lines and they all blend beautifully. Thanks for the block, giveaway and free pattern
ReplyDeleteOh... so many to choose from... I think my favorite is Fa La La La La fabric line especially the grey tone fabric with the rich creamy flowers. Although I do love the Chateau Rouge Soleil. Thank you for the excitement of the Friendship quilt along... this brightens the wintry blues of February. We are getting snow as I type...!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Rural Jardin, I absolutely love the blues in it and how they combine with the reds. I have a beautiful quilt in my bedroom made out of it and I never get tired of looking at all the fabrics and enjoying their details.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the opportunity - I'd love to have more FG in my stash!
My favorite line is Maison de Garance. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love Maison de Garance. That collection really spoke to my heart.

ReplyDeleteAll your fabrics are fabulous and do love La Belle Fleur:)
Thank you:)
I love Pom Pom de Paris, so pretty. I can pronounce them all correctly too because I used to live in France many moons ago. Thanks for sharing the block and the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteks(dot)eyles(at)yahoo(dot)co(dot)uk
Rouenneries is still my favorite. In fact, I'm still hoarding my last few fat quarters - saving them for only the most special of projects. And, no, I have no idea how to pronounce it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite so far is Petite Ecole!
ReplyDeleteChateau Rouge is my favorite. Love the reds and neutrals. Thanks for sharing the patterns & the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric is Rural Jardin. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am partial to reds, so I love your Chateau Rouge. I can't wait to try it on your block. Thanks so much for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabric!
ReplyDeleteI have to go with La Belle Fleur as my absolute favorite but all of the collections are lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but Pom Pom de Paris is still my favorite.
ReplyDeletePetite ecole is still a fav. All lovely!
ReplyDeleteRural Jardin is my favorite because it was my introduction to French General and started the whole love affair1 Love the block and the fabrics--perfect harmony!
ReplyDeleteI just bought some Chateau Rouge mini charms and plan to use them with scraps from other collections to make a quilt. I love the antique reds and the way them mix with any other colors.
ReplyDeleteI love your block and have also loved all your fabric collections. I think Rouenneries is my favorite.
ReplyDeletePetite Ecole has been one of my favorite lines...everything from quilts to kindle covers!
ReplyDeleteI think Rouenneries will allways be my favortie collection. So beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding, I love them all. Good luck to everyone, too excited about this block!!
ReplyDeleteRural Jardin is my favorite
ReplyDeleteI can't pick just one, I love bits and pieces of each. The reds always catch my eye though. Thanks for the block and the chance at winning.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that I decided to the Moda Signature Quilt Along because I found your site. Love your things beautiful Marianne
ReplyDeleteMerci Beaucoup!! I would love to visit France and spend time with my French relatives there!! My favorite collection would be Rouenneries. Thanks!
ReplyDeletemicheletimms at gmail dot com
I worked at my LQS and yes I think I was the only one who knew how to pronounce Rouenneries. I love the new La Belle Fleur. The blue really makes it all pop.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Chateau Rouge, I made a wall quilt with it went we redid our living room. It was the prefect way to bring out the bits of red in the new room and the perfect focal point. ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteI made the most beautiful place mats out of a couple pieces of Petit Odile...so it's my current favorite. Thansk for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is rural jardin. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am REALLY liking this block - and the fabric arrangement you chose are wonderful! "IF" I had to choose a favortie, which is so hard to do, I'd have to say Lumiere de Noel
ReplyDeleteMy favourite would be Chateau Rouge. I really love working with reds.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to pick which line I like the best. I have loved them all. If I have to pick one, I would go with Rouenneries Deux.
ReplyDeleteI am rather new to this consequently, Petite Odile and Chateau Rouge are the first French General fabric collections I have seen. I used fabrics from the collections to make fabric pockets that I decorated with counted cross stitch design. The fabric designs go extremely with my cross stitch designs and the fabric feels so very luxurious.
ReplyDeleteI love all your fabrics but Fa La La La is my favorite! Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI think I would have to go with Chateau Rogue! It's all beautiful but I do love the reds in this collection!
ReplyDeleteI think rural jardin is my favorite but I pretty much love everything in the French general line! And I think your block is my favourite one so far :) thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove them all but I would pick Maison de Garance. THanks for the block and the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block! French General is a major favorite designer for me. Love you, and my fave is probably Rouenneries, so glad you came out with some of the oldies in addition to all the beautiful new ones. Excuse me while I go wipe the drool off my face:)
ReplyDeleteBelle Fleur is definitely my favorite, but I love them all.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.
My favorite collection is Pom Pom de Paris. I have a fat quarter bundle of it that I pet on a daily basis!
ReplyDeleteI love your fabrics. Rural Jardin is particularly beautiful, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love Pom Pom de Paris! But, they're all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour choice is the best for the Friendship quiltalong. Thank you for the patterns and the scrapbook idea. My favorite would be Fa La La La. I guess it just depends on your mood. Thank you for the chance to become a lucky winner of those precuts.

I am very fond of the Chateau Rouge collection because of the reds. I wasn't so much a red person (blue was my go to) until I saw these reds. Now I can't get enough reds like these! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy first love affair was Rural Jardin - moved on to Lumière de noel and lastly my love has been with Rouenneries. I love French General - the colors are always amazing. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity. Judy C in NC
ReplyDeleteThis quilt along if fun. I love your fabric lines. I use Rouenneries in my very first completed quilt top. I have used fabrics from some of your other lines for smaller projects, I am always drawn to it at my favorite shops.
ReplyDeletePanier de Fleurs - the colors go so well in my home. Rose W.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting block. Thank you. Last year I made a quilt using Maison de Garance and it's still on the back of my couch. Love it!
ReplyDeleteChateau Rogue of course!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteFrench General has some beautiful fabric! Thanks for sharing the block tutorial.
ReplyDeleteFrench general is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to making my friendship quilt....thanks for your block!
I would have to say - Rouenneries (I can pronounce it, spent a summer in Cahors decades ago!) - would be my favorite as it opened up your world to me...I can't get enough of it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the gray prints from Petite Ecole! Your new Carpenters Wheel pattern is amazing - that block has been on my Must-Make list for awhile, but I love you version! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWhy do you make this so hard- I love them all never had a favorite just have him all in stash. I guess if I have to I would say french general and rounaries. Thanks for the chance to win the pre-cuts looking forward to your new lines thanks again
ReplyDeleteMy favorites are the wovens from Rouenneries and the Petite Ecole line. Thanks for a lovely giveaway and thanks to Moda for the QAL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful block. Boy, choosing a favorite is nearly impossible - they are all so special. If I have to pick, I would say Rouenneries. I am coveting a charm pack of it!
ReplyDeleteRouenneries still has my heart.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure of the name if the line but I love a quilt I made with a fat eighth kit in a chevron--backed with Fig Tree Snuggle, it is great. I also am collecting (fabric and a block of time) to mak one with Rouenneries
ReplyDeleteI still think my favorite is the Rural Jardin but all your shades and colors are so beautiful. I love the scrap book idea, it would make a beautiful baby book too for a baby to look through at all those colors and prints.
ReplyDeleteI love French General fabric and have many of them, I think somewhere in the 40s, but Rural Jardin Remains my favorite. Thanks for the give away and the ideas.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite French General lines are Rouenneries and Maison de Garance.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Chateau Rouge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win. Love the sample book with fabric swatches.

Rural Jardin and La Petite Ecole...truthfully, anything French General. I have made at least 2 quilts and numerous pillows from FG and love each one. Lisa in Texas
ReplyDeleteI'm new to Quilting and need look no further than La Belle Fleur. The reds and greens in your new pattern are wonderful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the block, I love the half circle concept. My favorite line is FA LA LA La
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed all of the different fabric lines that you have designed! Some of my past favourites have been Lumiere de Noel & Maison de Garance along with Rouenneries Deux. I love how all the different lines have that sense of French whimsy - such lovely fabric and "sew" many projects that I must make or complete!! :)
ReplyDeleteChateau Rouge for sure! I am redecorating my kitchen and trying to figure out how to get a quilt in there somehow!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the pattern. I love all your lines but I did like Fa la la.
ReplyDeleteI liked seeing the whole list of your fabric lines...I have made quilts from 5 of the lines thus far, and I just bought La Belle Fleur for my next quilt. If I could only quilt faster, I could have used them all, because I do love them all. I would be thrilled with some more La Belle Fleur, so I could make some accessories to go with this current quilt. Thanks for your inspiration. soardkg@fuse.net
ReplyDeleteI like pom pom de paris!
ReplyDeletemissysaprons@gmail.com
Your fabric line is one of my favorites. It is hard to pick just one. :( They are all so elegant. But in a warm way. So if I had to pick one- Chateau Rouge.
ReplyDeleteLove the La Belle Fleur line! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI've always love Rural Jardin--I have a bundle that I just can;t take apart because it's so pretty! Thanks for the gorgeous block!
ReplyDeleteI've made several quilts for granddaughters using Chateau Rouge. I love every collection and it would be impossible to chose just one.
ReplyDeleteFa La La La is my most favorite fabric line of yours; however it wasn't an easy choice because I adore al of your fabric lines. Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWhile all your fabrics are great, I love rouennieries.
ReplyDeleteMy favorie collection is whichever one I'm using at the moment, but my favorite color in the whole world is French General "Red". Everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about when I use that term.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a wonderful block!
my absolute favourite of all your lines was Rural Jardin. unfortunately, it came out just as I learnt to sew so I pretty much missed it! I did manage to get my hands on Petite Ecole and I love that line too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Rural Jardin, maybe :) So many great ones to choose from it's a tough decision. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics, and my favorite is Fa la la la. I made a wonderful quilt for a friend out of this line. Thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteChateau Rouge for me. Ah, to be back in France. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration over the years!
ReplyDeleteYou are TOO funni! Just choose one?! Very hard to do but if I must I'll say: Petite Odile, followed by a close 2nd of: Chateau Rouge -- I love all your fabrics patterns notions!! Thanks for the nice give-a-way and super block! Ani in NC
ReplyDeleteOf course they are all fabulous, but the first quilt I ever made was with Rouenneries, so it will always be my favourite one.
ReplyDeleteVery hard to choose because they are all so beautiful! Rural Jardin maybe. Love all those reds and all the French General that has been designed. Great Job with a lovely line of fabric. Would be so nice to win some of that fabric line.
ReplyDeleteI like the new La Belle Fleur. The Rural Jardin was great too. Trina
ReplyDeleteI love them all! I own them all--can we say I'm just a bit obsessive about French General? But my very favorite is Maison de Garance for its rich warmth. Second favorite Lumiere de Noel--clean and beautiful! Dying for a sneak peek at the two new lines!
ReplyDeleteI loved Rouenneries because of it's newness. Totally new idea for quilting fabric and I was excited! Maison de Garance was one of my favorites too though. Beautiful warm colors and great prints. Love them!
ReplyDeleteAll your lines are inspiring!
Rural Jardin has been my favorite...the colors and designs in that line are lovely and calming.
ReplyDeleteNo question, Rouenneries was my favorite. No, maybe Rural Jardin... I just know I love all your collections!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block - it does look like a tile. My favorite collection is Rouenneries Deux.
ReplyDeleteLove your fabrics! And would love to win some Pom Pom de Paris! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI went ga-ga over Rouenneries when I first saw it, but then I fell in love everytime a new line came out!! I love the reds!!! Keep up the good work. I can hardly wait to see the new lines. Thanks for the unique block!
ReplyDeleteI love your new line La Belle Fleur. But they are all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteI had to go and look since I have not seen your fabric and ooooooohh what beautiful fabrics, I love the rural jardin. Will you sell it again? I want I want I want.... wonderful... me being a newbie I get all execited when I see something new....
ReplyDeleteThey're all lovely - rural jardin or rouenneries catch my eye. And the fabric swatch book is a great idea! Merci.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Petite Ecole. So charming!
ReplyDeleteI have bits and pieces of all or most of your lines, but I think Maison de Garance is my favorite. SOOOOOOOO pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the block!
I love Rural Jardin, but I also like Rouenneries.
ReplyDeleteBecause I love Christmas I always loved the Lumiere de Noel
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your sense of style. Makes me long for a trip to France ... SIGH... someday :)
Wow--great block! I love the Petite Odile collection!
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is my favorite. Your block is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is my favorite. Your friendship block is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is my favorite. Your friendship block is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is my favorite. Your friendship block is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteNow that is a challenge. I love all thing French General. I have had Lumiere de Noel, Petit Odile. I have to say however Pom Pom de Paris must be a favorite because I am currently hoarding several different precuts. I cannot bring myself to use them. I just enjoy admiring them from afar.
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is my favorite. Your friendship block is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Rouenneries! I've made a wallhanging, placemats, and a quilt with that line. Love the tile-inspired block you've posted. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Chateau Rouge. Thanks! Lana
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Maison de Garance. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric line has been the Petite Odile...I LOVED working with those hues of the gray, blue and red.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Chateau Rouge! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that Rouenneries Deux is my favorite collection since it was the first one I "discovered" and I used it to make a quilted bag to carry to my quilting classes.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but if I have to choose a favorite, it would be La Belle Fleur!! Thank you for the block!
ReplyDeleteEllen
You are a gem to include the instructions for making the fabric swatch book! I saw this on the you tube video. Thank you! I have a collection of rural jardin still sitting pretty on a shelf. Have not been able to slice into it yet. All in time!
ReplyDeleteoohhh favorites...I have sooo many :) LOVE your fabrics !!! la belle fleur is my current favorite cause I'm working with it at the moment but I am also a huge fan of chateau rouge and Petite Odile and I cannot even wait for Josephine :)
ReplyDeletePom Pom de Paris is my favorite. I love the pink and yellow prints together. Don't get me wrong though I love all the reds too but am partial to the pink and yellow. So cheerful.
ReplyDeleteAll of your collections are beautiful. My favorite would be Maison de Garance.
ReplyDeleteI do not think I have bought French General before but my best friend has a stack for a quilt. I love this new one, I will be looking for it!
ReplyDeleteI really like Chateau Rouge but I must say I have a lot of FG fabrics beyond that line. I just love it in general! Thank you for the chance to win. Love your patterns too.
ReplyDeleteMary
Panier de Fleurs is my favorite, but love them all!!
ReplyDeleteI love Pom Pom de Paris. I am loving this quilt along and seeing everyone's blocks.
ReplyDeleteI have loved all your fabrics starting with Rouenneries.
ReplyDeleteSo I confess that I was introduced to your designs only recently with Rouenneries. It has the perfect shades of red. Since I didn't know the other line, I googled. Perhaps not wise, because blue being my favorite color I loved Rual Jardin and now it is not readily available. Perhaps not such a bad thing since I already have more fabric and projects than I can get to in a year. =)
ReplyDeleteMy favourite was the Rural Jardin collection. The lovely blues remind me of summer days in France.
ReplyDeleteThe original Rouenneries is still my favorite. And yes, I can pronounce it. Spelling it is another story! LOL
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I think my favorite has to be La Belle Fleur. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletecaribousmom (at) gmail (dot) com
My favorite was Chateau Rouge! Thank you so much for the chance at the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line was the first, Rounnieres (pronounced ruin air ?)I just love it and have bits of it in many projects as well as a quilt made from it. Love, love, love your sense of color.
ReplyDeleteChateau Rouge!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Chateau Rouge. Some of its fabrics were very useful to me in reproducing a vintage British quilt. I was very happy to find them! Keep putting out your designs!
ReplyDeleteI love Chateau Rouge. I have a quilt kit that uses that line and it is beautiful! It will look even better when I sew it together too!
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I can pick just one. I have bought at least a little of all your collections. Actually, I have bought A LOT of most of your collections. Love the new La Belle Fleur.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Rural Jardin. I made several projects with it and I am hoading some for the future and combining it with other collections.
ReplyDeleteI love them all but would have to say Rouennieres is my favorite. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePom Pom de Paris! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Chateau Rouge - I have some yardage in my stash that I love. I must admit that I have liked them all, but the Chateau Rouge camehome with me.
ReplyDeleteLove your block and swatch book, thank you so much! It's difficult to pick a favorite collection as they are all wonderful but Chateau Rouge is at the top of my list! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteI love Le Petite Ecole the best mostly because of the letters and vintage feel. Thanks for the chance! And thanks for the swatch book and block pattern too!
ReplyDeleteI have loved your fabrics since the first line came out. Of course La Belle is my fave right now, but Pom Pom de Paris has a special place with all it's romance and toile! Love your block and thanks so much for your offer.
ReplyDeleteThis block will be my first time doing semi circle, wish me luck! and I really loved working with Rouenneries.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose a "favorite" --- all of them have their own personality, but similar characteristics. I guess, my favorite, if I have to decide, is La Belle Fleur. Thank you for the chance.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful but if I have to choose one it would be La Belle Fleur. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite is Pom Pom De Paris because of the yellow. and also, the font on the packaging for Moda is adorable. I'm a sucker for a great font.
ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur, I just love all of them, though...it's so hard to choose! pbstrand@msn.com
ReplyDeleteI have a quilt Kit that is using Rural Jardin that i have to do.I just have a hard time to cut into these beautiful fabrics. I also have a few pieces of Rouenneries that I love.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite French General Collection is always the latest one.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose ONE but I will go with Chateau Rouge. :)
ReplyDeleteHard to to pick a favorite--I love the all--but La Belle Fleur is one that draws me.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to pick just one, I've purchased several from your list, but Pom Pom de Paris was slight different from your usual choices, so I think I'll go with that one!
ReplyDeleteI just love everything French General :) I am a bit of a hoarder of your fabric and recently bought another bundle of chateau rouge because I knew I was going to use up my bundle for my project! My goal is to have my bedroom done up in everything French General :)
ReplyDeleteOh, what not to love about all your fabric! I purchased 'yardage' of Rouenneries and made the quilt from your pattern and added various items as a memento quilt. And fortunately I am still sewing with my stack of it. I also love Petite Ecole. Very hard not to like it all. And I love your block for this Quilt Along.
ReplyDeleteAll are beautiful but if I have to choose one it would be La Belle Fleur. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with the fabric and your block! Another project on my "to-do list!"
ReplyDeleteWow all my wonderful colors! I go with Pom Pom de Paris.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole French General line. Thanks for being a part of the Friendship Block Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'll always love "Rural Jardin"!
ReplyDeleteLike all your collections so much!
Thanks for sharing!

I especially love your Rural Jardin fabric line though all your fabric lines are very elegant and classy.
ReplyDeleteI love each one as it is released! I think Rural Jardin was the first one that caught my eye.
ReplyDeleteI have several favorites! I really like LaBelle Fleur, Chateau Rouge, and Lumiere de Noel. Don't have any right now but they are on my wish list. Thank you!

ReplyDeleteLa Belle Fleur is just lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is still Rouenneries, and no, I cannot pronounce it correctly. Your block is lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Rouenneries and Rouenneries Deux, and I now also love La Belle Fleur. In fact, I just purchased some a few days ago. Beautiful! Thanks for your lovely designs!
ReplyDeleteThere isn't one, I don't like, it is really a beautiful line.

I love your Pom Pom De Paris collection! The pinks are so beautiful! I have it in a few charm packs but I'm saving them for a special quilt :)
