And I have no clue which quilt I want to enter. I was already thinking about the Fall Quilt Festival after the Spring Festival finished up. (And can I say I'm still in shock for having been a finalist with my Summer Sampler quilt!)
When I finished designing, making and writing the pattern for Drunk Zebra, I thought for sure that would be my entry, they do have a 2-tones quilt category after all.
But then I made Katy's Hopscotch Quilt, and had so much fun making it a very unique and special quilt, esp with the hand quilted doodles.
Of course nothing quite compares to the gigantor Seeing Squares quilt. By it's sheer size it is asking for attention. (Though to be honest this is my least favorite.)
And who doesn't love the last quilt they made best of all (ok, so I love it for many more reasons that that, it's just so me, even though it wasn't for me). Hexies for Nora...it's just too pretty!
What do you, my wonderful readers, think? If you saw a little thumbnail of these quilts, which would inspire you to open the blog link and nominate it for the festival?

um... does "all of them" count as an answer???
ReplyDeletereally though, they would all inspire me.
I don't know what the categories are, but I guess see what fits best.
If it was me, I'd probably list the Drunk Zebra, and partner it with a sale. :)
Drunk Zebra! Without a doubt! I feel so strongly that I clicked over from google reader to leave my first ever comment on your blog. Not only is it striking (and beautifully photographed), it has a level of uniqueness that none of the others match.
ReplyDeleteNow I just need to get over my fear of machine quilting, so I make one of my pieced tops into my first finish. Then, I will enter too! :)
I vote hexies or zebra. I lean towards zebra as the hexies in vintage modern, while gorgeous, is slightly more "predictable." I think the black and white is very modern and less expected.
ReplyDelete-Amanda-
I too vote for Drunk Zebra. My second choice is Seeing Squares.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Katies Hopscotch, although they are all great. I even love the Seeing Squares quilt. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI say Drunk Zebras I think its going to be something the judges haven't seen before and the block work is unique and stellar. You would be a shoe in to win. Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hopscotch Quilt but the hexie quilt made me 'ooh' out loud. I must say though that I prefer some of your other pictures of the hexie quilt that you have shown, particularly the one of it lying on the bed. If it has to be 'hung up' likle in the above pictures than I say hopscoth. Not really sure now if this is a helpful comment or not! Good luck.

So hard to choose!
ReplyDeleteDrunken Zebra??
I vote hopscotch! You know how to find me :)
ReplyDeleteI love them all. But I'm inclined to agree with Tracey, drunk zebra and have a sale at the same time. I looove the hopscotch but I know the details are hard to capture. The other two are also beautiful. Any would be a great entry. :)
ReplyDeleteI choose either drunk zebra or hexies. But they would all be great!
ReplyDeletei like hexies for nora my self
ReplyDeleteSo hard to choose! I love them all but the massive one is my fave...I think. The one with the squares, on my phone so I can't go back and heck the name, lol, I love the browns and blues.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Hopscotch, but Drunk Zebra is pretty awesome, too. :) I love them all!
ReplyDeleteTotally Drunken Zebra! Not that they're not all great, but I love the zebra and the boldness of the black and white! It is totally "click-worthy"!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, especially your giant baby! But I think Drunk Zebras is the most visually intriguing! A thumbnail of that will get the most attention!
ReplyDeleteAlthough they are all gorgeous (duh!) I have to say the hopscotch quilt would make me click on it because it is cute and very colorful. I'm attracted to the photo because it catches your eye.
ReplyDeleteWildbluestarz@aol.com
Hopscotch quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat big one above Hexis for Nora is a fav. Can't see a name for it thought
ReplyDeleteDrunk Zebra!
ReplyDeletewigglypup2(at)yahoo(dot)com
I have to say that Drunk Zebra would be the one that caught my eye first, despite how much I love your large quilt (which is a LOT). The Drunk Zebra feels so new and fresh and it really peaked my curiosity when I saw it in my blog reading list. And the photo of it is just perfect, so cool and modern feeling! =)
ReplyDeleteI vote for Seeing Squares quilt :) it's soooo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Tatyana
I like the Hexies!

I love the vintage pic of Hexies for Nora but I agree Drunk Zebra has the wow factor!
ReplyDeleteI definitely LOVE the third quilt, the biggest one, you didn't write down it's name so I looked for it and it seems to be:
ReplyDeleteThe Largest Quilt She's Ever Made 8/7/12
but I have to say that your works are ALL perfect and very very beautiful!
I would grab "drunk zebra"...its so striking!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Drunk Zebra
ReplyDeleteOh boy - I see what it's a tough choice! I'm indecisive by nature as well so I can identify. :) I'd have to choose Seeing Squares. Just how huge and intricate it looks would definitely make me take a second look!
ReplyDeleteDrunk Zebra gets my vote for its originality.
ReplyDeleteIt is really close for me between Drunk Zebra and Seeing Squares. Both are wonderful, but the variety and color in Seeing Squares might prompt mor "close-up" views, but Drunk Zebra packs the biggest punch. Absolutely wonderful work!!
ReplyDeleteAny of them, but I was especially captured by the Drunk Zebra. STUNNING.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a hard decision, I can't decide between Drunk Zebra and Hexies for Nora because I really like Hexies! Either one--you can't go wrong!
ReplyDeleteWhile I just love hexies, I can't get over how striking the Drunk Zebra is.
ReplyDeleteI keep scrolling back through the page to get another look at that one.
Drunk Zebra is ever so graphic and therefore I catching. That one has to win my vote!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I really like Seeing Squares, but Drunk Zebra looks very impressive :)
ReplyDeleteI would vote for Seeing Squares or Drunk Zebra, but they are all great. Seeing Squares because it is large but not overpowering (we have I King bed & a Queen in the guest room) and Drunk Zebra because it seems to be an illusion and makes my eyes unfocus.
ReplyDeleteI love the Drunk Zebra and the hopscotch quilts but can't vote for two. Mmmmmm...Drunk Zebra gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful quilts. But if I saw a thumbnail of one I would open the hopscotch one first. Thnaks for sharing and for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHELLO! I'd select "Katy's Hopscotch Quilt" - love it and want to make one similar! Thanks for a sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
My vote is for drunk zebra cuz I absolutely LOVE that quilt! Thanks for the chance to win the pattern!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Seeing Squares is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow - it HAS to be the black and white one. Pop - and pow wow! New to your blog and love what I see so far (new follower).
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Drunk Zebra! It is so striking in black and white. It's gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely think Drunk Zebra. It is very different, very striking, and the name is just too fun! Thanks for the chance to win it!
ReplyDeleteellen(at)myerly(dot)net
I vote for the Drunk Zebra! for sure :)
ReplyDeleteDrunk Zebra makes my eyes spin, which is certainly an attention grabbing thing. So I would nominate it! Love the enormous squares one too though.
ReplyDeleteVery difficult to choose just one. But if you're strictly looking for something that would inspire others, I'd have to say Drunk Zebra (love the name too!)
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilts! I vote for Drunk Zebra as it is the most eye catching. I wouldn't mind winning a pattern of it, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe Hopscotch quilt is original and eye-catching...Love it! Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI vote Hexies!!! Yay for Hexies!!! Man I love me some Hexies!!!
ReplyDeleteI like Drunk Zebra. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThey are all awesome. I like Hexies for Nora best. Drunk Zebra is a bit much for me. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love the Hopscotch quilt. It reminds me of my childhood, where we actually had to play OUTSIDE and entertain ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThanks,

ReplyDeleteDrunk Zebra gets my vote! funnymesjc at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteok, from one indecisive quilter to another...all of them. i had the same problem!! but i know which one i'm going to enter, and saving the other one for the spring...unless i finish another quilt by then! and, well, i guess if i had to pick one more favourite than the others...Drunk Zebra would be it
ReplyDeleteI love them all. I think I would vote for seeing squares.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Drunk Zebra quilt - LOVE IT!!! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteHands down. Drunk Zebra. That quilt is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThey're all beautiful, but the one that really grabbed my attention is Katy's Hopscotch Quilt-- SO cute!! Thank you for the chance to win! :-)
ReplyDeleteI likes the Hexies... :)
ReplyDeleteI like them all. But I think the "Seeing Squares" would be the one that would get me.
ReplyDeletei like Seeing Square best! such a great design and it's huge!! awesome. Drunken Zebra is fun too though...so i can see why it's tricky to choose. :)
ReplyDeleteKaty's Hopscotch Quilt is the one I would pick, so cheerful and something I would love to create if I was as talented as you!
ReplyDeleteOoh, such wonderful choices. I love Seeing Squares. Gorgeous work! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletethanks for the chance! I love the Hopscotch quilt
ReplyDeleteSeeing squares is my favorite...maybe just because I wish I were brave enough to tackle it! LOL
ReplyDeletebarzi10091 at aol dot com
I really like the drunk Zebra one. Much more eye catching than some of the others. They are too soft in colour.
ReplyDeleteEither the Zebra or Hopscotch. Sort of a toss up. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteKaty's Hopscotch quilt is the one I'd pick as a thumbnail. It totally draws me in and it's super bright and cheerful. becky_soup61(at)comcast(dot)net
ReplyDeleteOh I'd totally say Drunk Zebra, that's just an amazing pattern and it looks great in that picture. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTotally the Drunk Zebra. I love black & white, and that quilt makes me want to know more! Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThey are all GORGEOUS, but I think the Drunk Zebra would be my choice. It is so striking and different than a lot of others that will be entered, so that will make it stand out even more! Good luck and thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteAmanda
My vote: Hopscotch (it is adorable) love the setting for the picture. The others are all amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteI vote Hexies for Nora
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but the Drunk Zebra just jumps out at me. I love the black & white! Good Luck! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for the Hexies quilt, I love the colors and the pattern
ReplyDeleteThey are all so gorgeous, but with 5 kiddos in my house, the hopscotch quilt immediately caught my attention! Love all the fun color and know it's something my little would love playing with! :) Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but Drunk Zebras is a winner to me :)
ReplyDelete~welchrobin@Hotmail.com
i vote for the drunk zebra because it is sooo visual and different! i love the black and white combo. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI pick your Seeing Squares quilt for the randomness and colors and the size of the quilt. Whoa! But they are all beautiful. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI vote for your hexie quilt. Because of the Farr's backdrop I'm guessing you might live in the Ogden area?
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely want to see more of Katy's Hopscotch. A very close second would be Hexies for Nora.
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to choose because they're all amazing but I vote for drunk zebra just because I think it's so eye-catching and different. Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Drunk Zebra! Even the name is a winner!
ReplyDeleteDrunk Zebra. Hands down. It's definitely an attention grabber, plus the name.
ReplyDeleteI vote Katy's Hopscotch (but Drunk Zebra is a very incredibly close second...)
ReplyDeleteI vote for Seeing Squares - the way you arranged that is just amazing. But Drunk Zebra is also incredible.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Seeing Squares as the first choice and Drunk Zebra second...a unique black and white design I would say even though it makes my head spin after looking at it for a while... fresh and modern concept!
ReplyDeletenice! would love to win. Drunk Zebra would get my vote.
ReplyDeleteSeeing squares is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Squares definitely my first choice.
ReplyDeleteI love Drunk Zebras, but I think that Katie's Hopscotch is the most memorable - I'd go with it.
ReplyDeletedi4soccer at juno dot com
I think that Seeing Squares is my choice, although they all are great!
ReplyDeletetba247 at hotmail dot com
I'd go with the Drunk Zebra quilt. It is an attention-grabber, in a really good way.
ReplyDeleteThese are all fantastic, but Drunk Zebra is my favorite.
