My favorite quilt.
Amy over at Park City Girl is having an online quilt festival. What a fun idea, right? Thought I would join in!
I am going to go ahead and stretch the boundaries and say that my favorite quilt that I’ve ever made is in my future! It’s the next quilt. And then the one after that! I hope to always grow and change and push myself as a quilter, so my favorite quilt is still in my brain!
To me, it will be the perfect combination of these two quilts:
I’m in love with the wonkiness of the top blocks, but the colors of the bottom quilt.
Could it be that this is the beginning of my all time favorite quilt??
Even if this is the start of it, I hope that once it’s done, the next one I dream up becomes my new favorite quilt. That way I’ll always love the quilts I’m working on!
Hope that you all have wonderful weekends! It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I have some sewing in the plans! What else would a girl want to do on her birthday?!?

I hope you have more than just sewing planned for your birthday! A dinner out on the town perhaps? Happy early birthday!
Happy Birthday, Alissa!
Love the quilt…and the wall art.
Happy Birthday!
My favorite is the top one! I think- they are both pretty and I like the solids in the new one.
I also love your wall art and pretty dark brown walls. I used to work second shift and I painted my bedroom walls dark brown. I slept so well in that room.
oh i love this quilt.
what a wonderful way to look at it. Happy, happy birthday!!!!
Beautiful! I really love the brown room with the branch on the wall too
Happy Birthday!!! Get some sewing time in for me too while your at it! Have a great one -Allison

I’m happy everyone likes the room Alissa’s beautiful quilt lives in! As her twin sister I’m lucky to enjoy her wonderful talents firsthand.
I got the wall decal on Etsy here:

I’ve admired both of these quilts before. Both of them demonstrate colour mastery.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
Really love your work.
Happy birthday!!!!

Happy Birthday! Hope you have a fantastic day. I love both the quilts above (specially the top one), and looks like the new one is going to be a stunner as well.
The two quilts you featured for us are lovely. I am with you in that my favorite quilt is usually the one I’m working on right now, or the one I’m dreaming about making. Always so many project sin the works!

Both quilts are beautiful! And I love your sentiment that the next quilt is the favorite. That’s awesome. Thanks so much for sharing and happy birthday!
Definitely agree that my favourite quilt is the one knocking around in my head waiting to take form.
I knew for some reason you were going to have that quilt as your favorite! Have a wonderful birthday!
Love these quilts. I should make me one they look very fresh, mod and easy.
i LOVE your answer to this question.
hope you have a FANTASTIC birthday! (would you send me your address? i’d like to send you a little gift.)
Great use of fussy cutting. Love those mermaids!
I always love looking at your blog and your quilts. These two are great and favorites as well.
Ilove the color choices and the great simplicity of line. If I were out taking pictures it would definitely be a choice. Line and color make me stop to enjoy.
there is something about this pattern that I love! I have seen it scattered all over the world on quilt blogs. It looks old fashion but yet modern if you know what I mean.
