Pattern suggestions?

[Hummingbird]

I would like some input if you don't mind -

I plan to make a quilt to take to the Paducah class for the Trunk show and then to be donated to the shelter.

I want to use one of El's patterns but not a hard one, lol. I have the Quilting Through the Seasons and the Still Stripping After 25 Years and the Underground Railroad books.

Of course I could order a new book but would prefer to order fabric instead, lol.

What is your favorite EASY quilt out of the books I have?

Thanks!

The Gadabout quilt from Still Stripping is alot easier than it looks, and the lap size I did didn't take very long at all. It can be very dynamic, or very subtle. One of these days, I'll make another one of them.

Nancy, Have you seen the winning hands quilt?? It's a quilt in a day by I forget.... It goes together quick.

Hi Nancy,
I have made a couple of "Fabric Gal" quilts from Still Stripping. It is quick and fun to make. Also, "Don't Fence Me In' is a quick and easy pattern that turns out pretty.

I'm sure glad you reminded me of this! I need to get busy on it too. In fact, I may use one of these patterns myself or a Quick Trip.

I'm going to do a Fabric Gal quilt for the shelter, I love that look. Just have to pull the fabric together - that's the hard part for me.

How about the Tossed 9-Patch?

I second the Tossed 9 it is fast, easy and looks great. I have now made 3 since July and all are lovely. One was an "I Spy" for my nephew's daughter and it looked fantastic.

Thanks gals! I'll go check them out in the book.

Thanks ladies! I went and looked through the books. I made my choice. I'm going to do "Don't Fence Me In" mainly because, to me, the name of this quilt seems so appropriate for the women in the shelter. I plan on making it in yellows and pinks.

I love that I can ask you all for input and through your help, a quilt is born! lol.

Thanks again!

I love using the Quilt Names as inspiration. Don't Fence Me In is a great choice for the project, the name that is, I will go look up the pattern.

I think you made the right choice, both with the name and the quilt. Can't wait to see a picture.
