    This book looks great. The quilt that really grabbed me was the one draped over a chair with an orange pillow on top of it. These patterns look like they have lots of possibilities. Thanks for the chance to win!

    I really am looking forward to this book. I really enjoyed the one on the bed with the three pillows, one of them being purple... not sure if you know which one i am talking about, but it was really pretty and simple looking.

    I don't know the name of the pattern, but it looked like a trellis with a pale aqua background and entertwined floral priny and a black which gave me the impression of a garden trellis.

The quilt that I like (from your Amazon link) didn't have a name on the photo - it has aqua background with vertical columns of boxes sashed in brown with brown connectors. The boxes have colorful strips in them. It is hanging from a tree with a house in the background of the photo.

    Hi V. I really like the quilt with the crosses and the featured red flowers. Were they poppies? Thanks for showing us the book and the chance to win it. Liz

    Love your quilt - the black and white border is fantastic. Just bought a selection of black and white fat quaters for my sister for her birthday - will have to send her a link to your quilt for inspiration.
    My favourite is the blue and cream diamonds with the plate of watermelon slices in the picture - it is a fairly simple design but the fabric choice makes it stunning.
