Modern designs for CLASSIC QUILTS

GIVEAWAY IS OVER, THANKS!

Today, I have the privilege to share with you a new quilt book by Andie and Kelly called "Modern designs for CLASSIC QUILTS"!


Love...love....love...this book!  Everything about it, from content....to photography....to techniques....to picture tutorials...and of course the fantastic quilts and quilt patterns!!


I've known Andie through blogging before her book writing journey.  Her blog was one of the first I followed and I liked it because she is a very real in her writing.   Well.... apparently Andie likes my longarm quilting skills and asked if I would quilt a couple of quilts for a "project" she was working on....a project that had to do with a future book!  No pressure for me, none what so ever!  Ha!  ;o)

This spider web quilt is called "Effie's Web".



..and it's a beauty!  I loved quilting it up!

This New York Beauty quilt is called "Midtown Girl".



I really love how this one turned out!

These are only a couple of many awesome quilts in Andie and Kelly's book and to celebrate with them I'm having a book GIVEAWAY!!


Anyone is welcome to enter the giveaway and staying on the theme of Classic Quilts....Answer this question for the Giveaway:  What "Curved" classic quilt or block would you like to see done Modern and easier the Quick Curve Ruler way?

Have fun and good luck!  

The Giveaway will end tomorrow night.

  5. How about a drunkards path! Love the traditional patterns so I'm sure you can do something wonderful with them.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I love the classic curved "Winding Ways" block. It usually involves templates so if there was a way to make it with your ruler I would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Can we try Dresden Plate? I love how you think outside the box.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Fabulous quilting on those quilts.
    Double wedding ring - it's time to make one!

  9. drunkard's path needs a modern update!

    ReplyDelete
  10. oh... that's interesting question ... ) How about the Drunkard's Path?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I agree - Drunkard's Path. I've never made one, but would like to try an easier method than cutting with templates by hand.

    The book looks great - thanks for the giveaway chance!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I've would like to see an oak leaf and reel made with you templates--old-fashioned pattern that could be very interesting with modern fabrics and techniques. Thanks for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  13. You are amazing... and I love what you're doing with the DWR!!! That would be my choice for a classic curve :-)

    ReplyDelete

  19. How about the Double Wedding Ring? I love this quilt. I have made a couple, but would be interested in seei.g the ruler results>

    ReplyDelete
  20. I think the centre block of an Irish Chain could nicely be done with the curved ruler.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I don't really know a block that hasn't been suggested as I don't really do much with curves. I sure would like to have this book though.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm ready to do a Dresden plate, but I'm scared of the curves!

    ReplyDelete
  23. hmm.. maybe the apple core quilt? Love the quilts you showed. Amazing quilting as always!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I love the pickle dish block. Thanks for participating in the tour.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love making the Winding Ways block. Would be interesting to see what you'd come up with that block design updated with your ruler. :)

    I LOVE how you quilted that New York Beauty quilt!

    ReplyDelete
  28. All suggested sound great! The book looks great too

    ReplyDelete
  29. Double Wedding Ring is my first choice, but I know you already have that one in the works. Second choice is a pieced Orange Peel block. I love this block but I will never make an entire quilt with it since the traditional method requires applique.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I was thinking Pickledish too. How about a Lemoyne star?

    ReplyDelete
  31. How about Chinese Lanterns? I just bought your ruler and 2 patterns at a craft fair yesterday and am looking forward to learning a new technique!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Ohhhhhhh The Double Wedding Ring ~~ !!....that would be great.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I was thinking pickle dish, too! Thanks for the chance....this book looks great! And I LOVE the two quilts you showed! Awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Winding Ways, always been a fave of mine...

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am waiting for the double wedding ring pattern. So exciting!

    ReplyDelete
  43. My daughter is working on a double wedding ring quilt now and hand-quilting it. So I'd pick to do that one with a modern twist.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Storm at Sea is on my to do list and I think the curved nature of the quilt pattern might lend nicely to the QCR.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Pi kledish? Drunkard's path? I know others have already suggested these, bit they are what I'd like to see too! Thanks for the chance to win this wishlist book!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I'd like to see a curve around a log cabin block. A circular home of the future?!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Drunkards Path would be the one I'd like to see made modern.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Love your quilting! I've been dying to try a Pickledish quilt but oh, the terror of those pieces :-) Maybe you can make it modern and simpler - am I asking too much?

    ReplyDelete
  49. The quilts you did were absolutely gorgeous! Maybe a modern take on the hourglass quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Love Midtown Girl. Very, very nice! How about updating the Orange Peel block?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Wow. You're quilting is amazing on that quilt. And the quilts shown in your post are beautiful.

    I don't know if it's possible but, I'd love to see a Dresden done.

    ReplyDelete
  52. what a great looking book! and as usual, your quilting is phenomenal. hmm, maybe we could figure out a more friendly version of the "eyelash" quilt pattern

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'd have to say the double wedding ring quilt. Your quilting is just beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  54. A quilt that I'd love to make one day is the Double Wedding Ring. I'm a new follower and saw that you've been working on a faster and easier pattern. Can't wait! So many great suggestions posted .

    Thank you, Kelly, Andie and F&W Media for an awesome giveaway and a chance to win.

  55. Yikes! That question is a toughie cuz I haven't been quilting all that long. Any curvey quilt would be great for me. The only curvey quilts I can think of right now are Drunkard's Path and New York Beauty...

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think a Pineapple Block would be SO fun!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Bear's Paw. I thing that would look fantastic with the Quick Curve Ruler

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think either the Cathedral Windows, Eyelash block or Pineapple Block would be great to try using your ruler. Thanks for the chance of the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I think Pam's idea of a Spiderweb would be perfect. I also wonder if you could do something New York Beauty-ish?

    I LOVE all of the details in how you quilted the Midtown Girl quilt. Just perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  60. The curved design I want to try is Winding Ways--not sure when I will be ready to try that one. Your quilting on the book projects is beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  61. A modern Dresden would be fun. Thanks for the sweet giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I've been wanting to do an Orange Peel quilt for some time now. The quilting for the book is fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I think storm at sea has a lot of possibilities with the ruler. Not stictly a curved block, but was that look. Also winding ways!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Drunkard's Path was my very first quilt back in 1976. Who knew curves weren't for beginners! I would love to make it over with a simpler method than tracing around cardboard 1,000 times!

    ReplyDelete
  65. What about the winding way quilt pattern?

    ReplyDelete
  66. I would like to see a Dresden block done up in this easier manner!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I've been loving the star quilts I've seen, especially the wonky ones. How about some curved up stars? Thanks for the chance to win the book!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I think double wedding ring would be so neat! What incredible quilting you did on these quilts. Just absolutely amazing! Congratulations, Jenny!

    ReplyDelete
  69. What a great idea, Jenny! Thanks for the chance. How about an orange peel block, or drunkard's path, maybe double wedding ring. Can you see my problem? I'm going to behave and go with wedding ring, but trust me, it's NOT an easy choice!

  70. I'm with the others that would LOVE to see a DWR pattern using your Curve tool! I've had fabric to make my daughter and SIL one for their wedding for 4 years now. Maybe I could actually get one done by their 5th anniversary!

    ReplyDelete
  71. The Monkey Wrench would look marvelous curved!

    ReplyDelete
  72. I would love to see a modern basket block that's really different. I am making a quilt for a friend and have chosen to use traditional and contrast with modern blocks but would love more ideas. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great book.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Ah, you know that I've already suggested Storm at Sea - but how about a twist on a NYB segment?

    ReplyDelete
  74. The NYB is so great, I love it.
    I would like to see the double wedding ring as a pattern and the traditional block I love most is 54-40 or fight, how about that on in a curved way?

  75. I've been playing with my ruler for a while now, and had just worked out the Double Wedding Ring block with it, before you posted that you were doing it.

    I think instructions would be very popular for this block.

    ReplyDelete
  76. Thanks for the giveaway!
    I am thinking Double Wedding Ring!

    ReplyDelete
  77. How about "Rob Peter to Pay Paul"? I think that would be interesting. :)

    ReplyDelete
  78. Would love to see Drunkards Path also! Book looks wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Double Wedding Ring or Durnkerds path

    ReplyDelete

  83. I would love to see the friendship star or just a sampler of all different kinds of stars done with the QCR. Thanks for all you share and design. Also thank you for the chance to win a copy of the book.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Thank you for the opportunity to win the book described above. I'd be thrilled with any of the previously mentioned classic quilt patterns. On my 'to-do' list is a DWR quilt so I'm most intrigued with your efforts in that direction. Love your blog!

    ReplyDelete
  85. I would love to see Wedding ring or Dresdan Plate.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I'd love to see the Double Wedding Ring. I'm so intrigued by the pattern, but I can't muster the courage to start a DWR quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Jenny, your quilting on that New York Beauty is out of this world! I'm not entering the giveaway--I already have the book. I just wanted you to know that I think your quilting is amazing. Great work!

    ReplyDelete
  88. You got me looking in the book by Maggie Malone, "5500 Quilt Block Designs" with your question. Block no. 3498 Ferris Wheel, Block no. 3535 Grist Mill and block 3550 Carolina Favorite and 3599 Pointed Ovals are just a few I'd love to try. I wonder too, if there's a way to interpret Snails Trail with your ruler.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Lovely quilts as always. I don't know a ton of traditional stars. There is a set for each state and it would be interesting to see if those could be curved-up.

    ReplyDelete
  99. Fabulous quilting, fabulous quilts! I'd like to see a curved pattern of the square within a square block. Thanks for the chance. It looks like a marvelous book.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Looks like a great book! Does the design I sent you count? No idea what it was called, but loved it!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  105. Me gusta improvisar las curvas .Una plantilla con distintos ángulos de ondulación?
    Increíble regalo.Cariños.

    ReplyDelete
  106. The quilting on the spider web quilt and the New York beauty was wonderful, love them!

    ReplyDelete
  107. These quilts are stunning! Thanks for the opportunity to win this book.

    I'm very new to quilting, but I think I have to echo those who have piped up in favor of the wedding ring quilt. Even before I was interested in quilting, I've wanted to make one (and I love the new "single girl" version as well).

    ReplyDelete
  108. I want to do so many curved quilt blocks - double wedding ring, drunkard's path, dresden plate, and pickle dish! They're all gorgeous, but tough to execute.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Sorry I missed out. I would love this book. Guess I'll have to go buy it. haha! I LOVE the quilting you did. No surprise they loved your quilting enough to have you quilt for them!

    ReplyDelete
  110. Easy peasy......PICKLEDISH!!! I'd love to see what you would come up with using the QCR. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book.
