This was a block of the month I did in 2010. The colors are so pretty and make me think of fall. It is always the quilt I choose for our bed at Thanksgiving time. I quilted it with a simple feather pantograph on my long arm machine.

This quilt was fun to make, working on the back porch during warm fall days. I was trying to improve my skills in several techniques at a time: hand embroidery (acorns and berries), applique, fusible bias (stems), stippling, joining curved lines, different color of binding, according to background.

I started doing machine applique and enjoyed it a lot. I found this pattern in Quilters World Oct. 2010 issue – designed by Carolyn Vagts, and loved it. (I made it a little smaller than the magazine, as our table is not very long.) It will be the center of our Thanksgiving table.

Thanksgiving Blessings Thanksgiving Blessings
By: Sandi Andersen,

This is one of twelve small quilts that I made in the year 2000…….one for each month. I thought of that old hymn “Count your blessings” when I wrote the poem for this quilt. Truly, even one blessing is better than none!

This is one of the first quilts I made. It is a Thimbleberries pattern/kit. I pieced the top and had the quilting done professionally and we used flannel for the backing, so very nice to cuddle with on a cold night. This one is usually out through Thanksgiving.

I inherited the center star block from a 95-year-old quilter who died with a lot of unfinished projects. I surrounded the star block with 2-1/2″ strips, which I sewed on using a quilt-as-you-go method. It took less than a day!

    Summer sunset. It reminds me of my kid’s school colors.

    I would use Canyon Blaze in a landscape quilt. The sunsets around here in winter predominately feature those colors.

    I think I like Sundance the best. What would I do with it? Fondle it! Later I might cut it up…

  15. Debbie St. Germain Avatar

    I have a pattern for a falling leaves runner and I would love to do one in hand dyed fabrics. I think the Navajo gradient would be perfect for it.

    They are all so beautiful, but if I had to choose it would probably be the Navaho and I would really hate to cut it up, so I don’t know what kind of project it would go into.

  17. kbo Avatar

    I chose the black gradient. I could use it in many art projects.

    It is so hard to pick one. I would get the most use out of Woodland though. I do a lot of applique and can just see the leaves.

    I can see the “Woodlands” fabric working beautifully in
    a” One Block Wonder” wall hanging.

  32. Regina DeMatteo Avatar

    My favorite is Abundance – Gradient and it is too beautiful to cut so I would probably just hold it, fondle it and love it. But it would make a great pillow.

    The Southwest gradient is the perfect background for a beach scene that I designed several years ago.

    Green is my favorite color so I’m loving Vicki’s Pine Forest gradient. I’d love to use it in a wall quilt as a green forest background.

    This is such a lovely assortmrnt of quilts to view. Happy Thanksgiving to all. I hope to push and have a star quilt top pieced together to enter on time… if I were to win I’d attempt to do one of the Ricky Timm (Colorado)quilt techniques I’ve been admiring in his book which I bought long ago….

    The gradients are all so pretty, it is hard to choose. I like under the Sea purple to aqua, since blues are my favorite colors. I have a table topper in mind.

    I would select Canyon Blaze and the Red Gradients if I win, because I’ve been working on an Autumn quilt, and those reds blending into purple and other shades of autumn would be just ideal to burnish off my Maple leaves.

    Sundance gives me a happy feeling. I would use it in my rainbow quilt that I am planning. All the colors are beautiful!

    I love the Autumn stash!

  57. Carol Avatar

    I really like the Autumn Stash. I can see placemats or a table runner. Of the gradients, I think Pendleton grabs my attention the most. All the fabrics are beautiful!

  58. Sally Manke Avatar

    I like Leafy Greens and Grape Jelly. They would be great for an art quilt of Venita, Italy that’s on my idea list.

  59. Susan Avatar

    They’re all beautiful! I’d probably go towards blue and do a oceanscape wall hanging. Thanks for the chance to win.

    I’d love the purple or blue/greens from above but her gradient I choose from her site would be Morning Glory or Emerald City. I think it’d be great in a Trip Around World or Seminole style patchwork. Yum,Yum.

    Pendleton – Gradient is beautiful. It reminds me of my favorite fall colors. I have a fall colors quilt begging to be. I have been collecting fabric and waiting for the pattern that says Me pick Me I’m perfect. The guild challenge is “In the Forest” and it could work for that as well.

    Love all the colors but the Black Gradient is so beautiful. I would have to put it on the design wall to look at it for quite a while before cutting.

  69. Maria Call Avatar

    Red Dawn is my favorite, and I’d use it in a two-fabric bargello quilt OR in a landscape quilt that shows an Arizona sunrise.

    My favorite is “Reunion” — and I think I’d have to make that my focus fabric for a high school reunion signature quilt I’m making for next year. They’re all lovely, though, so it was a hard pick!
