Moda Friendship Quilt Along
Monday, February 18, 2013Today begins the Moda Friendship Quilt Along! The designers have made blocks each using their fabric lines from Moda. We all have a pattern to share with our friends.....meaning you! Go to Moda's Cutting Table blog site and you can find the designer's link and date they are posting their patterns. (I'm sure this means free gifts too!)
Our pattern involves stars....of course. I love any pattern with a star. The block I made uses our newest fabric line "Field Notes".
The center block is saved for a signature if you should wish.
When you glance at the block the piecing might seem a bit hard but the instructions make this block very simple. I can envision a whole quilt of these sweet stars. It makes me think of spring. It's so dark here today I could use a bit of spring.
For the pattern click here.
Here's our basket quilt made from "Field Notes". The pattern, Dandelion Basket will be at your local quilt shop soon. It's also been made into a fabric kit by Moda so you can have one just like this! (Again available at your local quilt shop soon.)
I added this tiny ruffle to the quilt edge. Lots of work....but turns out so sweet.
The fabric on the back of the quilt is also from the Field Note fabric line. I love the scrapbook look of this print.
Look for a "Field Notes" fabric contest on this site later in the week. I'm working on the final details for cross stitch market in Nashville the first weekend in March. I'm tap dancing as fast as I can to get it all done.
Hugs to you all!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDownloaded your beautiful block. Anxious to find your field notes fabric and pattern. Love it when there is a pattern specific for the fabrics! Thank you so much! Chris beresford

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling line! Can't wait to see it all! Thank you for the block pattern. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the pattern, please ignore impatient, ungrateful people who can't wait one day to get a pattern. In the scheme of life, it is hardly worth all the criticism people dish out, but there are some who are just plain thankful.
ReplyDeleteI like quilts with stars too :0) The Dandelion Basket quilt is dreamy!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabric and love the stars! The ruffle on the quilt is a beautiful way to finish a quilt. Lisa in Texas
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the ruffle on your quilt! I've never thought of doing that! I would love to try that, I think it would be adorable on a table runner! Love the star block too! Can't wait to do these blocks! It's been a while since I've put together a quilt and I'm feeling that urge, the smell of fabric and sewing machine oil....ahh, nothing better :)
ReplyDeleteField Notes is beautiful and the ruffle on the quilt is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the block. I love stars. Have a wonderful winter day. Janita
ReplyDeleteI am just smitten with this new line. Field Notes is so beautiful, I love the birds! and the old time feel of the line.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern and your fabric choice is ooh-la-la!! I **HAVE** to have some of this fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Field Notes! Thanks for the sawtooth stars block - it's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteLove your Field Notes, and the pattern - I believe I'll follow along with this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful fabrics you design! I have many of them, some older lines, but they remain my favorites and Field Notes is no exception. I love the blues. Thank you for this pattern. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeleteI've taken note of Field Notes and love your block for the Friendship Quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely fabric, and the ruffle adds so much.
ReplyDeleteI love stars, and your block has really inspired me, thanks so much sharing x
ReplyDeleteWonderful fabrics! Hope you aren't too exhausted from tap dancing! Have a great market!
ReplyDeleteMy faves:Antique Fair and Field Notes. I love these fabrics! Absolutely stunning! Any chance any of you have any of the Antique Fair solids or checks hanging around still? It's getting really hard to find. But I am fussy about my shades of reds and burgundy and you guys nailed it! And Field Notes has just a very fine, refreshing, cold lemonade on a hot southern day kind of feel. I can't wait to make my first set of quilts, pillows, and table toppers with it.
ReplyDeleteLove the stars
ReplyDeleteShawn
I like the ruffles and stars!
ReplyDeleteNice stars! thanks. The ruffle does look wonderful on that quilt - but what a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteI am excited to see that new pattern too---and your new line. Until then, I am working on downsizing my 'collection'.I am going to try a ruffle this spring. Yours looks so sweet. Oh, and my star pattern downloaded just fine. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLove the stars. The ruffle adds a lot to the quilt.
ReplyDeletejust love the block--it's stellar! ...and the ruffle adds just the right sweet touch!
ReplyDeleteWell, over the top again with a ruffle! Your new fabric line and basket quilt is so sweet. Would love to see a pic of you and Edie tappiing. :) Thanks for the sweet star pattern. Luck to all.
ReplyDeleteAlma, I absolutely love Field Notes. What beautiful colors!!! I also like the ruffle. Thank you for the pattern. I'm anxious to make this block.
ReplyDeleteField Notes-what a gorgeous fabric collection!
ReplyDeleteIt's shouting Romance, Love, Elegance, Sophication, and what warm and luscious tones! This is what I am always looking for! Love to have a fat quarter collection!
Another beautiful line of fabrics. Can't wait to see it in person. Also wondered if you and Barb were ever interested in republishing the book Higdon Camp, 1924. I know a lot of people looking for it, especially the pattern for the Camp Reveille Quilt. Something to consider. :0)
ReplyDeleteare they just the one block or am i missed them
ReplyDeleteLove everything you do. I have for quite a number of years. The little ruffle is such a nice touch!
ReplyDeletePattern for the Camp Reveille quilt AND entire book Camp Higdon 1924..YESSSSSSS
ReplyDeleteLOVE the ruffle on the quilt must have taken a LOT of fabric and a long time to do. BUT what BEAUTIFUL results!!!
Please help!
ReplyDeleteI am attaching my first ruffle -- looks gorgeous -- what do I do with the corners when I put on the binding strip? I just "clipped" it at the corner. Now I don't know how to sew the binding strip to the quilt back at the corners -- not shown in Country Inn on page 110. I just love that quilt and like everyone else -- everything you and Barb do! Thanks so very much for your help!
Diane in Naperville, IL
Yes, Please republish the book Higdon Camp, 1924. I am one of those looking for the book or especially the pattern for the Camp Reveille Quilt.
ReplyDeleteJust love all the quilts and fabric combinations.
I'm looking for the book also, Have you found it? I would love to have a copy of the Camp Reville pattern.
