A very happy birthday to the Quilting Gallery! And a warm welcome to all you party-goers who are celebrating with them by hopping along to some blogs. Thanks for hopping by mine!
"Quilting...for the Rest of Us" is my blog, my quilty podcast, and a community of like-minded--or somewhat obsessed, you be the judge--people of the Quilt Clan who like to think, talk, and dream about quilting. I'm glad you decided to stop by to join the QFTRU community, even if just for a couple of minutes.
One conversation we've been having lately in the QFTRU Facebook Page is: What quilt project would you absolutely love to be able to do right now, if you had everything else on your "need-to-get-done" list done? We got a lot of great responses! In fact, that's going to be my topic for this week's episode (www.quiltingfortherestofus.com or in iTunes). I've loved reading everyone's responses and I think they may inspire listeners to work on their own dream projects.
So I'm going to ask you the same thing.
Leave a comment here with your dream quilt project, and I'll draw a name randomly from the responses and send you ...
some fat quarters...
and a great book....
to help you get it done!
This giveaway, part of the Blog Hop Party, goes until December 17th. Make sure you head on back to the Blog Hop Party to get in on all the great give-aways. But I hope you'll come back to visit again soon!
My dream project is finishing a king size yo-yo quilt. When I see what other people have made I dream about having my own hand sewn yo-yo quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have been yearning to do "Sylvia's Bridal Sampler", from the book by Jennifer Chiaverini. I bought the book several months ago. Today I went and had it spiral bound! In January I hope to buy some fabrics and get started!It will be my 20 year project...
ReplyDeleteI already answered this in a previous post, but here it is again. A Christmas wall-hanging that has fabric envelopes on it to place Christmas cards inside. I have all the supplies, just need to finish many other projects first....but wish this one could be first.

I would finish up my star quilt from the Moda Bake Shop book. I started it in the summer, but got sidetacked with two quilt alongs and now Christmas presents. It is first on my list come January.
ReplyDeleteIf I had all others up to date I would take lots of time to work on Dear Jane. I tried out a few blocks a while back.
ReplyDeleteMy first pick would be a Double Wedding Ring similar to the one on the cover of Link to the '30's by Kay Connors and Karen Earlywine. I'd also like to do the Farmer's Wife quilt and Bonnie Hunter's new Orca Bay mystery.
ReplyDeleteMine is my Civil War quilt I am doing currently
ReplyDeleteI think I would tackle a Bargello quilt. I think! Boy I would really have to think about that. I haven't allowed myself to think about new projects because my studio is being overtaken by UFOs that need to be finished.
ReplyDeleteId love to get the time to get more than the 8 blocks of my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler done, im hoping its a 2012 half way goal
ReplyDeleteMy dream project is a Rainbow Dear Jane quilt, one day I will make one, it will be shipped off to Green Fairy Quilts for quilting and that's a promise =)
ReplyDeleteI have the fabric and design idea for a traditional dark blue and white queen size quilt but feel compelled to work on many other things first.
ReplyDeleteI've had a fabric art piece in my head for a couple of years but know it would consume my life for months so I haven't even begun to begin creating it yet! It would be an Advent banner all in deep blues and purples, with a pregnant Mary sitting on the ground hand-sewing something. I don't know if that qualifies as a "quilt" project...
ReplyDeleteI would be starting the Kaliedascope quilt that I've been wanting to make for awhile now!
ReplyDeleteMy dream is to do a king sized Hawaiian quilt. Or maybe a Dear Jane (a close 2nd!). But first I need to finish what is rolling around in my head! Happy Holidays to all!!
ReplyDeleteI am dying to finish a bunch of projects so I can make a quilt for my own bed.Probably a Carpenter's Wheel (Swoon).
ReplyDeleteMy top choice would be a bargello quilt made with a pattern that I've owned for probably four years now. It is called Links and I love the way the colors swirl on it. Oh, and this quilt would belong to me only!
ReplyDeleteMy dreamquilt project is a zigzag quilt. Thanks so much for the give away!
ReplyDeleteI wanna make a blue and yellow log cabin king size. Someday.
ReplyDeleteI want to make a quilt for my mothers bed in the rest home. I think a pinwheel would be a happy pattern that she would like, with nice wide borders. Thanks for doing the give away. And I love your podcasts...I listen at work! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteMy dream quilt project would be a wonderful Lone star quilt. Thank you. C
ReplyDeleteI would love to drop everything and focus on finishing my "Jewel in the Crown" BOM. This is going to be such a beautiful quilt when it's finished :)

ReplyDeleteDream quilt project................oh man.............getting better at FMQ. Does that count?

Thanks for the opportunity. I am participant as well so you might visit my blog too if you like! Kind greetings from the Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteMy dream project is recreating a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt just like the one my great grandmother did. I see you like hexies too. Thanks for a great giveaway. The pattern book looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe project I would start right now would be a wedding quilt for my daughter and fiance. The wedding is in the summer of 2013, but I want to make the perfect quilt so presume it will take me a long time! The most time will be spent deciding what quilt to make! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteMy dream project would be to finish all my already starteds! Quilter's ADD has me in various stages of no less than 20 quilts (including a 25 block Baltimore that I just need to add flowers to the border's vines and leaves to be done). Quilty distractions abound!

ReplyDeleteI just started cutting fabric for a queen size double wedding ring quilt. I hope to have it done by June... June 2012. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the time, and the funds to purchase the fabric to make a quilt for our bed, with my husband out of work I can manage little bits here and there but a full quilt is a major expense!
ReplyDeletemy dream project is a Joseph's Coat quilt...but I don't think I have the patience or talent to get it done!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to get my queen sized scrap quilt quilted on a long arm without paying....that would be my dream
ReplyDeleteGreat question! My dream quilt would be to make a Farmers Wife quilt. I was so tempted to join in on the quilt along but had so much already on my plate that I passed.

ReplyDeleteMy dream project is a quilt for my queen-sized bed. Every other block is plain for white work or other embroidery -- oh, I do love hand embroidery! -- and the pieced/appliqued blocks would all be different designs just for fun. This has been a dream since before I was married (um, 8.5 years ago) and I needed only a full-sized quilt. Kinda ambitious, which is why it has never come close to becoming reality. :)
ReplyDeletemy dream quilt would be cathedral windows....Merry Christmas and thank you
ReplyDeleteI would do an applique quilt of my own design. I have a few half-formed ideas about it whirling around in my head so it is just as well that I have too much to do before I can get there.
ReplyDeleteIf I had the chance, I would love to do an art quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy dream quilt at the moment is a king sized BOM I started a couple years ago - just needs 1 more border row - and will go great in our newly re-decorated bedroom - so bring it on 2012! Thanks for a great giveaway.

ReplyDeleteMy dream quilt project would be a double wedding ring all done creams and whites or very pale prints. I just love the wedding ring quilts, but am not experienced enough yet to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteMy dream project is to make a quilt to enter in a National show. Even if I don't win a prize it would be so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh I have a ton of dream projects. I guess my biggest one would be a double wedding ring quilt with modern fabrics. I even have most of the fabrics for it, but I have a ton of Christmas projects to finish first :)
ReplyDeleteIf I could just sit and sew and had no other commitments calling my name, I'd LOVE to work on my Henrietta Squirrel applique quilt! It has the cutest little squirrel and bird appliques on a pieced background-- and I'm using corduroy fabric for the applique-- a first for me, and it's turning out so cute! Thank you for the chance to win your wonderful prize! :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I need to complete a large nature-theme piece by late spring (not started yet although I bought some fabric). And the project after that will likely be 5 bridesmaid dresses by late August! Maybe not a dream project but I bet I'll be dreaming about all that fabric!
ReplyDeleteHands down, it would be a Baltimore Album quilt for our bed. They are the most beautiful quilts ever and so much work. What a gorgeous heirloom! Maybe this will be the year.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful giveaway! :0)
If I had everything done (what a dream that would be!) I would be working on a "tag team" gift set - my sister is expecting her first grandchild any day now, and I have the fabric to make her a Red Riding Hood (because of the grandma! HA!) tote bag set, plus I want to make a quilt for the new baby, for when he/she visits Grammie Sherry :)

If all of my projects were finished I'd try my idea for a modified wedding ring quilt. People tell me it won't work, but I want to try it. It probably won't be exactly right, but it seems like it should work. It's on my bucket list of quilts for 2012. Thanks for asking. Quilted blessings, Nita
