Spell it With Fabric: Fig Tree Style

Hildy | 18th Feb 14

I would love some kind of FigTree Sampler I think it’ll would be gorgous:-)

Lisa Rogers | 18th Feb 14

Your fabrics are so beautiful. When I look at them they remind me of a beautiful watercolor painting. I would love a pattern with different flowers like you would see In a watercolor painting. Your Cherry Pie and Pear quilt patterns are my favorite. Thank you for a chance to win.

Debbie Yarbrough | 18th Feb 14

I have precuts of your new line on the way and can’t wait until they arrive! I would love to see a pattern for Grandma’s garden or Hexie log cabin. Can’t get enough of your fabrics.

Janet | 18th Feb 14

Log Cabin with some appliqué is my favourite idea…

Julie A. | 18th Feb 14

Would love to see a sunflower block. Thanks

Heidee | 18th Feb 14

I love 8s too, so how about a Figure Eight quilt, without tricky curves, like your gorgeous Carousel? x

Sarah F | 18th Feb 14

How about a pattern based around a large central appliquéd medallion of a basket of fruits and flowers. If not, I’m loving the current trend for mini quilts and would love to see some of yours translated into “minis”

Heather | 18th Feb 14

I have discovered the fabulousness of the jelly roll! I would like to have a quilt pattern that uses a jelly roll to make something with small pieces. Also a cute bag made from a jelly roll would be wonderful!

Sandy N | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something done with hexies. I love every line you design and Mirabelle is just gorgeous!

Donna | 18th Feb 14

I am intrigued with the Mushroom and Gnome tin pictured. I was thinking this could become a lovely inspiration for applique. Just thinking!

Lisa Marie | 18th Feb 14

I like the look of tessellating blocks and would enjoy a pattern like that.

Sharon Bennett | 18th Feb 14

Meant to say “center medallion of some applique FLOWERS”… of course… you could put some applique in the borders too… 😉

Jennifer Anderson | 18th Feb 14

Oh my goodness. I love Tins, Postage Stamp styled patterns, the colors, the prints, I can’t believe I didn’t find you sooner! I’d like to make my husband a quilt with either the carpenter’s wheel/star or carpenter’s square. I’d love to see what you could design with one of these in mind. 🙂 I love your style!

Lori M | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a larger size block pattern with som sort of star–star inside a star, perhaps? Big, fast-to-finish blocks 20″ or so…..I LOVE your applique patterns as well!

Laura F. | 18th Feb 14

I would want to see you make a tree quilt. I just think the greens in your lines would be perfect and then it would give people to add fruit to their quilt like in your case a fig tree would be perfect for Market! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Lea Brummett | 18th Feb 14

How about somethng for the guys in our lives that put up with our quilting obsessions. It would be quite a challenge with so many florals, but doable!

Linda | 18th Feb 14

Love your new line! I would love to see some vintage patterns that resemble an old loved quilt.

Lynn M | 18th Feb 14

Fig Tree fabrics are so delicious and remind me of fall, my favorite time of year. How about a lovely fall leaves inspired quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.

Darlene | 18th Feb 14

The monkey wrench pattern always fascinates me. A different color for every block, of course.

LeAnne | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a wedding ring quilt!

Allison Evrard | 18th Feb 14

I love the colors you choose when you design your fabric lines! I think I’d like anything scrappy that mixes and matches your lines.

Karen Ann | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see the line in a Rollin Stones quilt or a Single Girl…..those are my favorites….today!

Brenda | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a seasonal quilt pattern that would depict the 4 seasons or could be swapped out each season.

DeborahGun | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something more complicated – a quilt with lots of detail and small blocks, with applique too. More like Jen Kingwell’s designs.

Shawn | 18th Feb 14

i would love to see a fabric line with aqua and red. I know you could interpret that into something beautiful.

martha mumaw | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a medallion quilt block center with applique.

Anita | 18th Feb 14

Oh, your quilts are gorgeous and I have made a quilt from your Butterscotch and Roses line…it’s with my MIL in Malawi, Africa, where she’s working with widows and orphans.

As a busy Mom, I am all about simple quilts…I don’t have time to spend creating intricate works of art, but rather enjoy a beautiful work of heart that I can complete quite readily. How about something with heart blocks? I know there are a few ideas floating around out there, but maybe you can put a spin on it? Thank you for a chance to win.

Jodi Connors | 18th Feb 14

I love the colors of Mirabelle and I think that a flower basket applique would be gorgeous and with the wide range of colors that you use, maybe even a season sampler applique would be wonderful, of course you need to break it up with some pieced blocks, like maybe dresden’s to show off the beautiful fabric, some flying geese for the border and I love the idea of some churn dash blocks to set off the different seasons…Ooooh I would have so much fun with this, there are not enough large quilts out there that depict the seasons, something you can leave up all year long. Anyway, thanks for the chance to express myself how I would use your fabrics, just need the help with the design. I love the soft tones of your fabric.

Blessings,
Jodi

peggy hendrick | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see more patterns for mini quilts. Not everyone has places or walls to hang quilts and I find that my wish list outpaces my time and budget for making lap quilts or even full size quilts…

Lisa | 18th Feb 14

I think you should design a geometric pattern that uses an applique of a leaf in each block. Love your fabrics.

Monica | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see more applique patterns. You’ve done such lovely ones in the past.

Deborah H. | 18th Feb 14

I’m always intrigued by patterns that offer a secondary design. Sometimes simple tweaks with color selection or block placement give a quilt a completely different look so if you have something up your sleeve like that I’d love to see it! Thanks for the chance to win.

Gilda | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see a traditional design like Log Cabin with a modern twist in your gorgeous fabric designs.

Helen | 18th Feb 14

My favorite recent patterns of yours are Canned Pears and Cherry Pie and Little Lollies. I think it would be fun to see what you could do with flowers. Maybe bring a fresh look at vintage patterns like Carolina Lily.

cindy oneal | 18th Feb 14

How about rounds of borders. I think they call it a round robin quilt. start with a center star. then a round of nine patches or half square triangles. then sawtooth or quarter squares. Each row different. Corner stars of different sizes to match the width of each row.I know…the ideas spill faster than they come off my finger tips. the center could be an applique maybe flowers that change sizes or your fruits, an apple in the corner, pears or cherries for the next round. The corner blocks help make it easier because in between the rows and the background can change size too to keep the math easy. So many possibilities and in several of your fabric lines a nice scrappy feel as it grows, great use of my continuing collection of fig tree fabrics. Please!

wendy | 18th Feb 14

I love your bunny and birdy quilts, so more applique and more bunnies! I bet I could pronounce your maiden name, i lived in Poland for 2 years and had to pronounce some very hard names and words!

Renee | 18th Feb 14

Your fabrics are simply figilious! Many of your quilts are on my loooong project wish list. This spring I plan to make the pear quilt as I love pears!!! I am interested in learning how to appliqué the Fig Tree way so a quilt pattern with appliqué flowers or paisleys would be fabulous! Dziekuje!

Susan | 18th Feb 14

I love your new fabric line. As always, the colors are beautiful and distinctive. I would love a pattern that uses a lot of flying geese.

Ingrid Taylor | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see another design for a snuggly quilt for teenagers/young adults or a baby’s cot quilt/ receiving blanket. I discovered your designs through craftsy and I think you are a great teacher too.

Becky S | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a medallion quilt done in Fig Tree style or a sampler type of quilt- something like your Vintage Farmhouse BOM, but made with a mix of blocks from many of your past Fig Tree patterns. Thanks for the chance to win. I can’t wait to make something with the beautiful Mirabelle fabric.

Sue Schultz | 18th Feb 14

I love your colors. Would love to see another round table mat quilt option. Your Blossom and Jam pattern is beautiful but would like another round option.

Terri M | 18th Feb 14

I love your fabric so soft and nostalgic, what about card trick I come from a family of card players and I think that is a fun block.

Janice | 18th Feb 14

I love the churn dash block and want to make a quilt using it…just haven’t found the perfect pattern…maybe churn dash blocks with applique? Your fabrics are some of my favorites!! Thanks for the give-a-way 🙂

Pat D | 18th Feb 14

Just love the LOVE YOU MORE quilt. I would like to see some more simple quilts with large alphabet lettrs on it.

Diane H | 18th Feb 14

A ‘quilt as you go’pattern would be great. Thank you for a chance to win your lovely fabrics.

Christine | 18th Feb 14

Would love to see something fresh with the apple core block! Something for harvest/apple picking season!! Thank you!

Lisa | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a medallion style quilt with lots of different star blocks. It was hard to come up with something, since you have already created many quilts that I love.

Jennifer Fullerton | 18th Feb 14

I love block based patterns that create interesting secondary designs!

Nancy J | 18th Feb 14

I am loving Hexies right now and would love to see mini quilt and sewing projects using them. Grandmother’s Flower Garden would make a wonderful scrappy quilt using your fabric! Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.

Helen | 18th Feb 14

Something fresh withbflowers and figs maybe

Mary | 18th Feb 14

Your F post was lots of fun to read, and I love how you pieced the F.
As far as a suggestion, how about something with the raw edges like the bullseye but maybe done in flower shapes? But I really like your pieced designs and would love to see something with churn dashes or lots of flying geese.

Karen | 18th Feb 14

there are so many type of patterns that I like but I would love to see something with postage stamp and either embroidery or applique

Taryn Villarreal | 18th Feb 14

I really love the pictorial patterns, like your Painted Ladies, Spools and Stems patterns. I’d love more like those! Jelly roll patterns are my favorite.

Darlene | 18th Feb 14

I love your fabrics and the wonderful fresh look of any pattern you design with them. I’m Irish and I am longing for spring. My thoughts are trending towards an Irish Chain pattern with maybe a simple applique in the center of each block or a fussy cut would be nice too. I would also love to see this fabric used in a double wedding ring quilt. Thank you so much for your wonderful designs in fabric and patterns. Looking forward to seeing the new ideas.

Marsha Ennis | 18th Feb 14

Hi, my father had a passion for persimmons. When i look at your lines of fabric, i can see various shades of persimmons, each with the sweet green leaves. Of course, i realize that this is a very old fashion fruit, but maybe you will be inspired? Love every thing you design, i have some fabric, that i am hoarding, but who knows, maybe i’ll make persimmons? LOL. Marsha

Laura Taylor | 18th Feb 14

I fell in love with your quilt “Love You More” as, in our household, that is part of a saying that my husband and I have and will say to each other at odd times (but at least every day): one will start with “Love You”, the other will say “Love you more” and then comes “Love you Most”. Some people may think it’s silly, but it’s part of who we are and how we live. We’ve been married 21 years (almost-like in 2 days) and have never had a fight. It’s a second time around for both of us and I guess we learned a thing or two. So, I would love to see a “Love You Most” quilt. Not very imaginative, I suppose, but I would love it. I think other people would too. Thanks for the fun blog!

Tracy H | 18th Feb 14

I love your fabrics and once again love your new Mirabelle! I don’t know how you come up with all your fantastic ideas all the time but they are great! I’ll just leave those to your expertise cause you are so good at it!

Ann L | 18th Feb 14

I LOVE your colors and style. You and “Bonnie and Camille” are my favorite designers. I look forward to your new fabrics and patterns every market. The type of pattern I would like to see in a new pieced quilt pattern of yours is one where there is not a lot of matching of points to worry about. I am not very good at that and it can be frustrating. I like the way you used a circle to cover up the pinwheel center on one of your patterns (lifesavers?) since I have trouble matching centers. I’m sure you could think of many other ways to design a beautiful quilt without a lot of points to match. 🙂 I look forward to seeing all of your beautiful, creative ideas.

Camille Mendel | 18th Feb 14

I love fireflies too. When I lived in Michigan we would sit on our patio and watch the thunderstorms roll in in the late evening and then afterwards the fireflies would come out. It was a metaphor for life-the light that comes after the darkness and storms and that as we gather together the light grows. I would make a quilt that features light and dark, with some sort of wing pattern that symbolize the resiliency of the human spirit to come out after the storm…..Love, love, love your patterns and fabric. Thanks!

Nancy of IN | 18th Feb 14

How about a sampler in large blocks.
Thanks for sharing

Diane | 18th Feb 14

Love your fabric and designs. I would love to see a quilt pattern made up of appliqued squares in the form of a garden patch with bunnies in one, carrots in another, figs of course and any other fruits, flowers, or veggies. It could have a nice “picket fence” as the border. Oh yummy!

Marian | 18th Feb 14

I love the ease of piecing your Lollies. Can you adapt that design into another Fabulous quilt? Can’t wait for the next collection!

Grammy Sharon | 18th Feb 14

I like many styles of quilts but I always seem to be drawn to the Irish Chain. How about a FRESH new pattern using the Irish chain. It would be lovely with your fabrics (for which I love every collection you do).

Verna A. | 18th Feb 14

I’ve always wanted to make a sampler quilt and to embroider on a quilt–so maybe something combining the two. And maybe a little applique on the borders. Thanks for the chance to win.

Donna | 18th Feb 14

Your patterns and fabrics are fabulous! You’ve devised pineapple, cherry and pear patterns. Why not another fruit, a delicious peach which is in your colors. I’d buy it in a flash ’cause I live in the “peachy” state of South Carolina. And our peaches are the best.

Pam Hunter | 18th Feb 14

I have been following your fabric line for many years. Every time I visit your blog, it is always so very comforting. The colors of your fabrics … warm and cozy. I would love to see something playful – along the lines of childhood days when there wasn’t a care in the world and all was well. My daughter and I would like to make children’s clothing for those who cannot really afford much. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents and creativity! Good luck to all!

Pam Hunter

Renee Byrd | 18th Feb 14

I have Hugs already ordered (during your awesome 12 days of Christmas!) and cannot wait for it to arrive…this new fabric line is so lovely! Next pattern? Well, I am not sure…I love blocks, stars, log cabins, applique, you name it…so, you can surprise me!

Cynthia H. | 18th Feb 14

I am really getting into embroidery and fabric/quilts. Something easy and elegant would work for a first one for me….I haven’t jumped in yet as I am cleaning up my unfinished projects before starting a whole new journey.

Emilee | 18th Feb 14

I am loving all the medallion quilts going around the internet these days…could always use the inspiration of another one!

Elizabeth | 18th Feb 14

Your fabrics are always Fresh and Fun to cut. I would like a pieced pattern with applique flowers on it, like the foxglove and freesia you mentioned.

Virlinda | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see a pattern with stars and plain white or off white blocks or space to show off beautiful quilting. Love to see the quilting.

Maureen | 18th Feb 14

I love scrappy quilts and would love to see a pattern that uses lots of scraps from previous Fig Tree lines.

Casey | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a Fig Tree version of an Apple Core quilt!

Ozark Cajun | 18th Feb 14

I am currently intrigued by diamond-shaped log cabin blocks. Patterns are far and few between, and I think this would be a great “new” idea for a Fig Tree pattern!

MaryD | 18th Feb 14

Would love to have fabric that is based on the Sound of Music favorite things song. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, Bright cooper kettles and warm woolen mittens, Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels, Doorbells and sleigh bells, wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings….etc.

Frances | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a snowman playing with a bunny because we have so much snow and the winter has been soooo… long I am sure they will be together for Easter. I think the transition from one season to another is interesting because we run them into each other. How about the Witch riding on the back of Santa’s sleigh ? or Santa ringing in the New Year’s with the New Year Baby ?

Kim Q | 18th Feb 14

A Churn Dash…skinny ones, chunky ones, all mixed up. What fun!

Sarah | 18th Feb 14

Your fabrics are gorgeous! I’d love to see a quilt with really large blocks. The look feels so modern to me.

Denise Cabral | 18th Feb 14

I definitely think you need to make a pattern of a Fig tree with some freckle faced kids frolicking by it!

Lorraine | 18th Feb 14

I wish there were more patterns using the hexagonal precuts!

Bethany M | 18th Feb 14

What a lovely post! I would love to see a paper pieced quilt pattern, I have been wanting to learn how to paper piece. You Love You More quilt is absolutely fabulous, I have to make that for my sister!!

Heartsdesire | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see an old fashioned Wedding Ring quilt. Your fabrics always remind me of something soft and vintage.

Paulette Doyle | 18th Feb 14

I am a fan of quilts that can be made small or big and the pattern accommodates this!! I also love baskets and sprays of berries…just saying’
Thanks for the sweet chance to win your give away!!
Paulette

Misty West | 18th Feb 14

I would love to make a quilt using your mason jars from you towels. I am obsessed with mason jars right now….especially the teal/turquoise ones, new and vintage!

Brenda | 18th Feb 14

I love your Fabric lines – every Fabulous one! I would love to see a mini quilt with stars as the main theme. I like intricate patterns, and if you layer on a little needle turn applique, so much the better!

Thanks for the Fantastic posts!

Monica P | 18th Feb 14

i would love a wedding ring quilt pattern, or variation of one. i always want to make one, but just cannot find a pattern to inspire me. the Mirabelle fabrics look perfect for the wedding ring pattern or variation and you are wonderfully talented at creating simple patterns of vintage designs!

Susan | 18th Feb 14

I love traditional patterns….and I am always partial to the churn dash block. I don’t have a clue why but whenever I see a quilt pattern with the churn dash, I want to make it. But all of your patterns are great! Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful Mirabelle!

Sherrill | 18th Feb 14

Since I have virtually no imagination whatsoever and YOU are the wonderful designer, I’ll let you come up with the design and just put me in for the wonderful giveaway! HA Thanks so much!

Brenda Hulsey | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see something in the line of summer play. Like kites, picnic or games.

barbara corbitt | 18th Feb 14

i have quilted for over forty years. all of my quilts are hand pieced, hand quilted, and donated. so i would love to see more big block quilt patterns so i could make more quilts faster. i know i know using a machine even for just the piecing would be quicker, but hand work is so relaxing to me and it gives me time to mediate and be thankful for everything in life. so glad you grew from figlets to a fig tree. any chance you figlets will follow in your footsteps? babscorbitt@gmail.com

Cindi P | 18th Feb 14

I believe your fabrics would make a beautiful double wedding ring or grandmother’s flower garden quilts. Thanks for the chance to win!

Sherryl | 18th Feb 14

Ooooh fun. A great blog hop AND a mystery giveaway! Awesome. Here’s my dilemma. My dear sister loves all things Day of the Dead, but she also loves all things girly. So what kind of quilt can I make her? Can YOU create a Day of the Dead pattern that’s girly? Go ahead – I dare you!

Joan | 18th Feb 14

I love your appliqué patterns. Just made the chicken tea towels for my sister, as she will be getting a coop and chickens this spring.

Linda King | 18th Feb 14

How about a folksy paper doll type boy and girl. You could add in a dollhouse, dog, cat and other things from our playing with doll house days!

Wendy | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a quilt pattern that uses supersized blocks (maybe a rolling stone block supersized?) But really, anything made out of your fabric is gorgeous!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

Lynne Sales | 18th Feb 14

I would love to use these fabrics to make a quilt to commemorate the friendship of a group of college friends. We are ten women who met in the late 70’s while attending a women’s college. Fast forward many years later and we gather together once a year, usually at someone’s home for a long weekend and laugh ( sometimes cry) and talk the entire time. With our children ( mostly) grown, we now have time to reconnect, and we always end up on a porch sharing life’s stories ( motto: what’s said on the porch, stays on the porch). So…..a quilt that evokes friendship ( friendship stars? ), porches , warmth and laughter!
Thanks for letting us offer inspirations for your creative genius. Can’t wait to see what you offer up next!
Lynne Sales

Jennifer Creech | 18th Feb 14

I think a Sampler quilt, maybe block of the month would be beautiful with your fabrics. Love the new Mirabelle line, Thanks for the chance to win.

Terry | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see a variety of mini Dresden Flower quilts.

Amy H | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a hexi quilt!

Susan Stanton | 18th Feb 14

Your new line, Mirabelle, is gorgeous. The colors are perfect. I can’t wait to get my hands on some of that. I’d like to see some mini quilt designs that are modern and fresh. Sometimes I just don’t want to make a large quilt, but would love to hang up a cute mini on the wall.

Jan | 18th Feb 14

I love all your fabrics and have several collections. The patterns of yours that I like best use lots of the prints and make simple quilts look more complex. My favorites are the Lollipops, Little Lollies, Blossom and Jam, Butterscotch Tarts.
I like how you take more complicated patterns and find a simple way to make them. Fast and beautiful results!

Nita | 18th Feb 14

I have 6 nephews aged 15 to 25. I would love to make them each a quilt, but am having a terrible time thinking of quilts to make for them, especially the teen boys. I would love your next pattern to be specially geared for the 15 -17 year old boy. Thanks!

Holly R. Moore | 18th Feb 14

Thanks for the chance to win. Love the new line. It looks like your last fig photo. :). Beautiful! I would love to see a frilly Christmas pattern with easy appliqué. Maybe a snowy homey cabin and a cute little snowman. The lyrics from I’ll be home for Christmas come to mind… “I’m dreaming tonight of a place I love, even more than I usually do…” Something sweet and vintage feeling to lend itself to your lovely fabrics.

Kathy | 18th Feb 14

I love all your fabrics. Mirabelle fits so well for Spring and Summer. How about a Drunkards Path Block?
I love your Spools pattern. It is so versatile, fun, fresh and fantastic.
Feeling lucky…
Thank you…

Mary Elizabeth VonDras | 18th Feb 14

I absolutely love your postcard applique series. It’s the graphic design coupled with whimsey, nostalgia that I find totally unique on the pattern market today. I’d love to see a similar series of small sized applique projects that present messages about “whole hearted living,” authenticity, eating clean and green, global peace & equality—the type of ideas/visuals that I’d like to hang up where my kids will see them, and reflect both on the value of taking the time to make things by hand, of how a thoughtful design can impart meaning on several levels, and on a belief that no matter what the world news brings, home is where we draw on hope, vision and support to make a civic difference. A highschool classmate, now scholar, just published a book with a catchy title that would be a fine starting point for design inspiration: “We are the ones we’ve been seeking!” (maybe too esoteric, but the underlying idea is “yes we can!”)

marcella | 18th Feb 14

I love how you make complex patterns so do-able. One pattern than has been on my to do list for years and years is the pickle dish. Think you can simplify that one? Maybe something inspired by that traditional pattern?

Tiffany | 18th Feb 14

Just out of curiosity, do you have any patterns with figs in them yet?

Sharon P. | 18th Feb 14

Would like to see things for the table. Love the clear colors in your fabric.
Sharon

Lee Ann L. | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something to do with families. Typical is trees; but, I am wanting something different.

Thank you for a chance to win!

Lisa LeBlanc | 18th Feb 14

This new line is so beautiful and soft. It definitely reminds me of spring and flowers. I would love to see this line sewn up in a pattern with baskets! 🙂
Thanks!
Lisa LeBlanc

Julie T | 18th Feb 14

I like being surprised by your quilt patterns. I own several and look forward to seeing what you have come up with!

I think a flower block would be awesome !!! I a looking forward to Mirabelle as well, it looks Fabulous !

Lana Drum | 18th Feb 14

I love your fabrics and the way they make you feel — happy! A block with a leaf shape. A block of a medium size and one that shows off your fabrics and is an easy quilt to make. Love your fabrics!!! Lana

Charlotte S | 18th Feb 14

I love traditional patterns. applique and wool. Combining those ideas with your beautiful fabrics would make for lovely quilts.

Charlotte S.

Christine Brown | 18th Feb 14

Some years ago I made a Christmas Quilt from one of your kits, it was all flying geese in your beautiful greens and reds. I don’t remember the name. I would love to have you do another Christmas Quilt like that one. Chrisitne

Mary Truax | 18th Feb 14

Miss Jean | 18th Feb 14

Linda | 18th Feb 14

Hi,I love “California Girl”! I’d like to see another collection with just a little sky blue in it! Thanks for sharing!

cobaltt16@yahoo.com

Tamie | 18th Feb 14

I lean towards modern design but love, love all the vintage patterns with small squares such as the one going around the internet right now called the Tone it Down Quilt. It was in American Patchwork and Quilting. I have loved seeing all the different versions.

Aimee Marshall | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something dandelion inspired. I love them and I think you could come up with something beautiful to do them justice!

Susan | 18th Feb 14

I love quilts with lots of negative space for quilting and curved seams!!!

Jeanne Shook | 18th Feb 14

LOG CABIN PATTERN IN LARGE SCALE WITH VINES AND FLOWERS AROUND THE EDGE TO ME SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL.

janita | 18th Feb 14

Such a mini craze for the “economy blocks” AKA Square in a square right now. I loved your red and white quilts, how about another 2 color combo pattern.
Thank you for all the FUN!
janita

thunder | 18th Feb 14

a sampler is always fun. thanks for the letter, and a chance at a win 🙂

Mary Wolter | 18th Feb 14

Something vintage and scrappy without a lot of HSTs!

Kathy | 18th Feb 14

I love your Mirabelle fabric! How about a spring flower quilt – with freesia, tulips (my favorite), daffodils..I would love to see some applique.

Vick | 18th Feb 14

I love spinning stars designs and think your fabric would be fun in a quilt of spinning stars……OR ….spools….I love spool quilts. Thanks for sharing!

KimR | 18th Feb 14

I love your vintage postage stamp patterns. I would love to see another one–maybe with cats???

Polly Hada | 18th Feb 14

Oh Joanne, I would love to see something with points! Bear Paw, Ohio Star etc. LOVE all your beautiful fabrics and quilts.

Laura K | 18th Feb 14

I love a good sampler quilt. I guess that is why I was so quick to sign up for the barn quilt! I just love the look of all the different block together in harmony. Thank you for all the beautiful work you do!

Katie Cohagen | 18th Feb 14

I just recently finished piecing a quilt top for my aunt and the blocks make up giant sunflowers with stems and leaves. A gorgeous large flower block with your lighter colored fabric would be absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!

Judith | 18th Feb 14

I would love some kind of fruit quilt. Wish you would design some more strawberry fabric for it!

Emily C | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something with horses. Mostly I see rabbits and cats and dogs.

kay | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a pattern for a slightly modernized Double Wedding Ring – something with a Fig Tree twist to it. I love how you update traditional patterns!

Barb | 18th Feb 14

Keep doing what you are doing. I am liking big simple shapes in all the colors. Scrappy! Your fabrics are like no others. The colors are just so cheerful! February 28th is my birthday so pick me!!

Ginger | 18th Feb 14

I love red and white quilts. Something with Stars.

Joanne Moore | 18th Feb 14

I love figs…how about some beautiful fig appliqué? If you have already designed some I will have to search your patterns!

Four dogs and one quilter | 18th Feb 14

Would love to see a Double Wedding Ring. Would look lovely in your Mirabelle fabric.

Beth Strand | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see more of the little stamp patterns. I just love the antique look and spirit of your pieces…in a word, fabulous!

becky moyer | 18th Feb 14

I think it would be Fantastic to see a double wedding ring done in Fig Tree fabrics!!

Kristen | 18th Feb 14

I love any patterns with houses and pinwheels!

Kristin S. | 18th Feb 14

Hello from Minnesota! (Loved you post.) I’m a big fan of house quilts and my favorite traditional block is the little red schoolhouse. I’d love to see a house or houses pattern by you.

Geni Pickens | 18th Feb 14

How about a Lone Star with a modern twist, I think it would be beautiful done in the Mirabelle line

Trena | 18th Feb 14

I think something with FLOWERS but not to over the top 😀

Maryellen | 18th Feb 14

I love the variety of your patterns already. Maybe a new basket design, or something with two fun blocks that create a new design?

bonnie | 18th Feb 14

I love stars, but would love help with a wedding ring quilt

Laura Turnmire | 18th Feb 14

I would LOVE to see a 5 pointed crown quilt. Whether it’s a bunch of blocks to make a large crown or various crown squares.

Mary | 18th Feb 14

Something with dresdens of different sizes!

Clara | 18th Feb 14

I know about the Cherry quilt but has there been a Fig design. Perhaps a sampler quilt with blocks for California fruit and vegetables? Love all Fig Tree fabrics and designs. Current favorite–Avalon with the blooms that look like the one for Sweet Peas.

Thanks for a chance to win some fabric.

Rhianne | 18th Feb 14

I am just now falling in love with hexes and would love to see them used in a new inventive way. Thanks!

Donna levesque | 18th Feb 14

Houses or baskets…

Kalynn | 18th Feb 14

I have been experimenting with different sized blocks in 1 top. Did that make sense? Love your “F”abric! I also have a maiden name that no one pronounced correctly to my “F” married name, only mine is FAIL and my day job I am the librarian and computer lab manager at school – So Mrs. Fail it is.

Debbie P | 18th Feb 14

I truly enjoy your comments on your blog! Thanks for the nice photos and good read! Love your designs! perhaps a future one could combine patchwork and applique – perhaps something combined with your pretty ‘Basket of Blooms’ to welcome our warmer seasons 🙂

Chiska | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see a variation on Jacob’s Ladder.

Martha | 18th Feb 14

I love appliqué maybe a child’s drawing

D | 18th Feb 14

I think Mirabelle would make a beautiful granny squared quilt.

Kathie | 18th Feb 14

How about a quilt with fruit? Your fabrics’ colors would look great!

Debra Kay Neiman | 18th Feb 14

I just love the little postage stamp patterns…Would like to see more of this…maybe a fabric line with a panel of postage stamps. My name is Debra and my letter is D. This stands for getting my UFOs DONE this year. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com

Deb | 18th Feb 14

One of my goals is to make an irish chain quilt so this fabric might work itself into one of those!!

Katherine Schaffer | 18th Feb 14

would love to see Fig Tree BOM — maybe a Fig of the Month”
theme for a year? Since you’d love to be a farm girl, how about a different Fruit or veggie every month? Or maybe let folks create a Veggie OR a fruit block quilt— bet you could run with this!

Wanda | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a lovely Fig inspired sampler quilt. I love your fabric lines!

Betsy | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see some marine life appliqué patterns

Beth | 18th Feb 14

It would be fantastic and a little funny if you fantasized about a botanical quilt that had a few fantastic figs in it. I can’t do this any more but your photos of the figs are beautiful so it’s a thought.

Joanna | 18th Feb 14

You’ve probably already done a fig quilt, but that’s what I thought of first. They really are cute shapes. I can see a circle of figs for a cross shape. I love your color sense.

Sarah | 18th Feb 14

I love your Mirabelle line – the color combinations are soft and amazing. What I’d love to see you do in a quilt is to use all printed fabrics from your line and no solids. I know that the solids make the design stand out, but some lines have such lovely prints that I hate to have any spaces taken up with a solid.

Claudia | 18th Feb 14

I love collecting your postage stamps. I’d like to see another stamp with your trademark fig.

Dortha | 18th Feb 14

I love traditional patterns. How about a pickle dish. I think they are so pretty.

Peta P | 18th Feb 14

Loving the love you more pattern. What a great idea.

CJ Reed | 18th Feb 14

Oh my — what do I wish to see in quilting. How about a Nutcracker for Christmas ! Hope I win you beautiful fabrics !

Debbie | 18th Feb 14

I like Snowball and Wedding Ring quilts, although I know Wedding Ring quilt patterns are rather difficult to make. Your pretty fabrics would be Pretty in any pattern!

yvonne | 18th Feb 14

I’m doing sampler through Fat Quarter shop, Designers Mystery I,ve already done your block and just love it!
Something in stars or flowers I would love. Thank you for all your beautiful fabrics and designs.

Mary Ann | 18th Feb 14

Loving the new quilts……I am so bad at thinking up a design for a quilt that the only idea I have is to keep it simple. I am finding I don’t like a lot of tiny pieces to put together. Make something with Layer Cakes…….I love all the Moda pre-cuts…..

Amy DeCesare | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a whole-cloth quilting pattern for a baby quilt, with a pieced backing. {I know, I know, just flip over a regular quilt…but I think the larger prints in your lines should have top billing!}

Laura B | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see anything that uses the orange peel type of shape.

Paula K. | 18th Feb 14

Love, love all your fabrics and patterns! I would like to see another “stamp” pattern – perhaps using a kitty of some sort. We cat-lovers are so easy to please, just put a cat on it. We’ll adore it!

Kim M | 18th Feb 14

I’ve been wanting to do something with Dresdens and I need some Spring in the air after this dreary winter.

How about a quilt that uses various Dresdens to make flowers / a garden?

Mercedes | 18th Feb 14

I would like you design some fabric in red and blue odd flowers, adding greys and golden yellows, a range of colours of Civil War , but in an Victorian Style.

Debbie H | 18th Feb 14

Something with hexies. I’m obsessed with them. A pretty modern quilt or a sweet baby quilt. Or a tote bag or pillowcase.

angie | 18th Feb 14

Would love to make an ABC sampler quilt with the giveaway! Thanks for the inspiration…

Traci Lunsford | 18th Feb 14

I actually asked my husband what he thought because I have a hard time finding “masculine” patterns for the men in my family. He likes quilts with medallions in the middle, so maybe something like that?

Dora Dis | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see some mini style quilts, , for example Blossoms from the book With fabric and Thread. Also more postagestyle quilts.But I love everything Fig tree anyway !

Kim C | 18th Feb 14

I love all of your creativity! I have a thing for sheep and would love to see you do a lovely pattern with sheep!!!! Thanks for all you do!

Elin | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a basket quilt, I’ve been waiting for the right basket quilt pattern to come along and collect ideas on Pinterest but I still haven’t found the right pattern that appeals to me, most of the basket blocks out here are set on point but how about a basket blocks that are not set on point? I also love everything with snowmen and it must be a challenge to use Fig Tree fabrics for winter themed quilts and projects …would love to see what you can come up with, maybe something with winter birds and tree blocks. the new trend seems to be all about modern, simple and quick but I always fall for patterns that combine pieced blocks and applique.

Allison C | 18th Feb 14

I think an abacus quilt would be really cool.

Cecilia | 18th Feb 14

I enjoyed reading your favorite F things. Mirabelle is gorgeous! I would love to see it in an old fashioned star log cabin design. Thanks for the fun hop.

Carol Y | 18th Feb 14

A pieced block of the month-style quilt would be fun.

Patty D | 18th Feb 14

Love your fabric – any quilt pattern would be great!

Marlene | 18th Feb 14

I love the scrappy look – anything scrappy is good for me. As for a pattern…I love the old tried and true blocks done in new ways. I’m not sure how designers go about doing that, which is why I could never be a designer, but I love seeing them. blessings, marlene

pam j. | 18th Feb 14

Fantastic color combinations. A kaleidoscope pattern quilt would be beautiful.

Melanie C | 18th Feb 14

A jelly roll pattern would be great! I keep collecting them, but don’t seem to use them 🙂

Jo | 18th Feb 14

I would enjoy seeing a easy Cathedral Window quilt with a dark background to show off the fabrics

Ella | 18th Feb 14

A tree sampler, with lots of botanical goodies.

Catherine | 18th Feb 14

The word that comes to my mind that begins with ‘F’ is FABULOUS, which is how I feel about Fig Tree! Your fabric collections are always gorgeous, as are your quilt designs! I would love to see a fun star block in a future quilt. Thank you for creating such beautiful quilts for all of us to enjoy.

Lyn | 18th Feb 14

How about a fig table runner…appliqued blocks, pieced border….one block a freshly picked fig, one a fig branch budding out at the tip, with a leaf or two, another a fig sliced open…

jmniffer | 18th Feb 14

I love how your new fabrics make me think of Spring…it has been a LONG winter here in Minnesota. I love patterns using 1.5 or 2 inch squares…whether a multitude of similar blocks Granny Squares for example, or a theme like flowers in a garden or a group of hanging ornaments. Thanks for sharing and for the chance at your giveaway.

stacey larson | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see something with dogs/puppies. I usually see cats and kittens but something with an umbrella and dog/puppy would be really cute.

Raquel Goyen | 18th Feb 14

I know you have the adorable birds on stamps, but I would LOVE to see a line with birds or a quilt pattern. Birds are cheery and timeless. LOVE Mirabelle!

Kristin | 18th Feb 14

What about an applique project of vintage crate labels using your lovely fabric? You are so creative it would be an amazing project!

Liza Schultz | 18th Feb 14

I love your sense of color. Each new line is prettier than the last. I think it would be fun to have something with lemon and blue berry colors in a celestial theme.

Jackie | 18th Feb 14

Fabulous new line, congrats to you! Love love love it!
I would like to see granny squares, i think would be wonderful!

Robin W | 18th Feb 14

Let’s see – a pattern that utilizes precuts, and one without HSTs! Haha I just finished a quilt with LOTS of triangles and I’m ready for fast and easy. Thanks for the giveaway.

diana | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see larger block(20- 24″) It could be a mini quilt to hang on a wall or put a few together and you have a quilt. Thanks for your great fabric and for the giveaway.

Ruth | 18th Feb 14

I would love a baby quilt pattern with both appliqué and piecing. Using your fabrics it would be so cheerful.

Myra | 18th Feb 14

I love the pinwheel block and think your fabric would make a wonderful playful pinwheel quilt.

Carmen Henley | 18th Feb 14

I love the name of your new line of fabric. I think a Star Flower quilt would be beautiful in those gorgeous fabrics!

Kathy Hines | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a fresh idea using larger size hexagons to showcase each individual fabric because each color and pattern of your fabrics are so pretty by themselves, a way to enjoy working with all of them in your fabric line would be great fun!

Sherie | 18th Feb 14

I love all of the Fig Tree fabrics! I would like to see Irish chain, Jacob’s ladder, Broken dishes, Log Cabin, Court House steps. Vintage patterns.

wendy | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see an old favourite “trip around the world” or something using HST’s. Thanks for such beautiful fabrics.

Karen | 18th Feb 14

I really like your Birdsong pattern, the style of it and would love to see a companion. Just can’t think of something right at the moment. :). I also think a sampler type of quilt incorporating your different blocks would be lovely. I am working on a pattern right now and using Patisserie called Mocha Swirls by Kim Brackett in her book Scrapbasket surprise and am really loving how it’s turning out.

MaryBeth | 18th Feb 14

Your fabrics have such a lovely warmth to them. Thanks for the giveaway. I’d love to see something using big hexagons in a new way.

Melanie D. | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see some sort of large zigzag pattern with some neat applique! I can just see it now! These fabrics would also make a fabulous spring/summer bag! Thank you for the giveaway and the inspiration!

Martha C. | 18th Feb 14

Your beautiful Mirabelle Line would be great in a garden/fruit related motif. After the terrible, gray winter most of us has had, what a beautiful quilt it will make. Love your cherries and pear quilt – something that continues those or similar themes. Thanks!

Janan | 18th Feb 14

Wow, I love all your letter F thoughts. You did it of course, my favorite is Fabric! I think you should design a large 4 block applique quilt. . . .maybe some sort of large flower pattern. . . . and of course design it with our F word,
“Favorite” color, orange fabric!
Maybe 4 big blocks of daisies
Maybe 4 big blocks of sunflowers
Maybe 4 big blocks of baskets with flowers

Lynn Wilson | 18th Feb 14

Right now, I would love to see a cog and wheel quilt in one of your lines of fabric! Please, please, please.

Joanne J | 18th Feb 14

I love the Mirabelle fabric, I think it would be beautiful in a quilt of peony blocks.

Penny R | 18th Feb 14

What about a quilt pattern with rain drops (almost fig shapes)

Diana Wylie | 18th Feb 14

I think a sampler quilt with a bunch of the blocks from your other quilts would be fab. Thanks for the chance to win

Leah Nebergall | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see more quilts using BIG blocks. Thanks for the chance to win some of your beautiful fabrics!

Terri U | 18th Feb 14

I am not much for creating new things but I think that your patterns and fabrics are great. I am a great follower and have made several of your patterns.

Karen Shackleford | 18th Feb 14

How about more fruit. Love the cherries and pear quilts. And baskets are always wonderful, but I know you’ve done a few of those already. But can you have enough basket quilts?? Thank for all your gorgeous fabrics and designs.

Nancy Stone | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a fruit basket quilt pattern

April Carter | 18th Feb 14

I’d like to see a Fig Tree Baltimore Album quilt. I think that would be fantastic. It would make a great block of the month program!

Samantha Scherer | 18th Feb 14

Love your fabrics and the colors. I choose to always work with bright FUN colors. For a new pattern – what about something with owls? They are my favorite! 🙂 Thanks!

Lou | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see a seasonal sampler–maybe 4 large squares, one for each season? Or 4 rows of blocks depicting a season in each row. Love the new Mirabelle collection and can’t wait to see more.

Trisch | 18th Feb 14

I think a 12 inch whirligig block with sashing around each block and posts between the sashing. I love pinwheel type blocks. Thanks for the chance to win!!

Joy | 18th Feb 14

I like modern twists on traditional blocks. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Nicole | 18th Feb 14

The Mirabelle collection is beautiful. I’d love to see a simple, small applique. Quilt.

Terri Staats | 18th Feb 14

I’d love to see your spin on the Lemoyne Star. Have always loved that star and you always put such a classy spin on traditional blocks.

jenni | 18th Feb 14

You have done so many lovely things, it’s hard to suggest something. I need some projects to help me destash all those tiny scraps! I am so excited about Mirabelle!

Cindy Dahlgren | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a FOUNDATION pieced quilt of a garden with FLOWERS and FOX and FAIRIES.It would be perfect in FREASH, clear colors. Despite all the F’s, I think this would be really fun and different from what everyone else does.

Angelia L. | 18th Feb 14

Fabulous!! I love the soft warm colors of your fabric collections. I also love your Postcard and Postage Stamp patterns and would love to see a BOM and/or kits. Thank you for sharing!

Diane | 18th Feb 14

I would love to see some applique patterns using your beautiful fabric.

Bev johnson | 18th Feb 14

Super scrappy quilt using many of your lines! Love your stuff. I am doing my farmers wife quilt with your fabrics.
Bev in Oregon

Audie | 18th Feb 14

The Wedding Ring is my favorite pattern. Maybe some embroidery to the designs and I never get tired of the lettering on quilts.

Linda (Petey) | 18th Feb 14

My favorites include stars and interwoven appearing designs similar to cardtricks. You are very inspiring, thank you.

tabitha | 18th Feb 14

I will be interested in anything you create!

Kristin | 18th Feb 14

I would like to see a single block quilt with the blocks larger sized. Perhaps, a vintage block blown up and repeated!

Ann Courtney | 18th Feb 14

There is something I love about the simplicity of the Churn Dash block. I would like to see a traditional churn dash quilt made from modern fabrics!

Chris | 18th Feb 14

You are so creative how could I offer any ideas? One thing I do a lot of lately is strip quilts and charm and layer cake quilts. They are just so easy to have all the matching fabrics in one set, buy a solid or two and away you go. So I guess any extra patterns with these are always welcome. I love all your patterns and my neighbor has a fig tree that she shares with me. Sooooo good.

Joanna | 18th Feb 14

You are so lucky with the fig tree. We have a tiny one in a barrel but its not very big. I think maybe we will get a larger one this spring!

Joanna

Joanna | 19th Feb 14

The Churn Dash is one of all time favorite blocks!

Jen B | 19th Feb 14

I’d like to see some quilt patterns made with fat eighth bundles – I can find the bundles, but not patterns for what to do with them.

Jan | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a sampler quilt. Your fabrics are so amazing. Looking forward to following your blog.

Rhonda aka Quilter in The Gap | 19th Feb 14

I love patterns that mix piecing and appliqué. You are ever so talented and your fabric is so gorgeous it would seem this would be a way to highlight your artistic ability and your fabric!

Pam M | 19th Feb 14

You left out Fun, Fabulous, and Flirty – which could all be used to describe your wonderful Fabrics. I fell in love with the first photo of the figs on your blog. Would love to see a fabric line featuring the colours in this photograph. That would be Fantastic!

Kellie from Indiana | 19th Feb 14

This fabric could bring me out of my comfort zone with an applique pattern.

Sandy E. | 19th Feb 14

I am in the middle of a wedding ring quilt with fig tree fabrics. They both are classics!
New York beauty blocks are on my “to do” list.

willa | 19th Feb 14

Fickle too. Finding it forever freaky to find a favorite.

At the moment I am thinking of strip quilts so that is what I would like to see.

Sue | 19th Feb 14

I am into small quilts these days, because I tend to finish them, instead of just start them. What about a bunch of seasonal small quilts?

Christine Ousley | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a modern strip quilt with all of those beautiful fabrics in it. It would make a perfect baby quilt.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Rachel Sanford | 19th Feb 14

I’m still really wanting to make Carousel. I love that pattern!

Stacy G | 19th Feb 14

Maybe a quilt with Hexi’s! I love your new line! Cant wait to purchase some fabric!!

Joni | 19th Feb 14

I love your patterns! I am always intrigued by taking a classic pattern like jack’s chain with a modern twist.

Susie | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a Vintage Stamp applique design with a cat… maybe on a quilt or pile of fabric or by a sewing machine…

Love Fig Tree Fabrics!!!

Susie

Kim Dow | 19th Feb 14

I’d love to see something with a fall vibe and Mirabelle would be perfect for that. Love the brown! Then I could get started early and have my quilt finished by fall!

Andrea Hawkin | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a Fig Tree pattern using English paper piecing. It would be inspired by divine talent. 🙂

Laura | 19th Feb 14

Love the blog- but how could I not when I LOVE Fig Tree fabric. They letters are so much fun.

JEAN HANSEN | 19th Feb 14

love your fabric!! I ATTENDED YOUR SEMINAR IN LOGAN, UT AND IT WAS FUN TO GET TO KNOW YOU. YOUR NEW COLLECTION LOOKS GREAT, CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT IN PERSON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPITATION.

Frankie | 19th Feb 14

Also meant to add I am currently starting a Log Cabin quilt that is new to me. I dearly love the design and depth of this quilt with it’s blended colors shading out. Wish me luck and would appreciate any advise. Currently only 4 blocks to show and my husband asked when it might be finished. 2015 maybe.

Judy Matlock | 19th Feb 14

Your fabrics are SO, SO GORGEOUS!!! I’m feeling spring time as I view them. I live in GA and many here have fig trees and gift their figs to us. My husband is not so brave to eat them, but I have become a fig lover, and that too gives me more reason to love your fabrics. IDEA: I love the fruits created in fabric and placed in a fruit bowl — I also love strip quilting. What about making figs and other fruits of narrow strips of your coordinated fabrics and resting the collection in an awesome fruit bowl? jam

pltasker@med.umich.edu | 19th Feb 14

I would just love to win anything from Fig Tree Quilts that you are so generously wanting to give away. Your fabric is just so fresh, crisp and pretty! They make my mouth water…..Thank You for the opportunity !
Pam T.

Ellen Sickler | 19th Feb 14

I gotta say, I’m a star girl…I like all the straight lines and angles. I’m working on a quilt now that is a star within a star and when I look at it, everything is right with the world! Thanks for the chance to win!

Wenda | 19th Feb 14

I love all your fabrics and would love to see a giant medallion made from your fabrics or a sampler quilt.

Gale | 19th Feb 14

I really enjoyed your line of patterns based on the Vintage Postcards – The colors in your fabric lines remind me of the couple of quilts I have from my Grandmother that are possibly from the 1940’s. So a pattern related to that time period would be fabulous.

Billie Ratliff | 19th Feb 14

I love the new line, but I always love your designs and color ways. I ask for your fabric everywhere I go when in a new city visiting fabric shops. I would like to see a quilt design using blanket stich applique of any of your fruit designs or chickens/animals. I think your fabric would look so beautiful with a curved border finish or parie points. Another idea is Grandma’s Garden but larger hexie’s instead of tendious 1′ or 1 1/2′ hexies. I know anything you design I like and want. I always look forward to your new ideas. I love your figlet term.
Thank you

Jeanne Antha | 19th Feb 14

Your new fabric line is so beautiful, I always love the colorways you use. Basket quilt patterns are my favorite, so that’s what I’d like to see more of.

Pat | 19th Feb 14

Love the new line! I would like to see something pieced with applique added. Something feminine. Your fabric screams feminine to me. Thanks for your patterns and your lovely fabric! Oh, for anyone who hasn’t seen it, your Craftsy class is awesome!

Florence Yovino | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see this group in a sampler quilt with the Fig Tree edge. Perfect for the winter doldrums!

Diane W | 19th Feb 14

I hope to see more fruit/veggie block quilts. I love the pear quilt, bought the pattern and just need to go get fabric.. I hope to get the cherry pattern someday. Keep using the absolutely beautiful colors and prints. They are to die for. Or eat.

LindaSonia | 19th Feb 14

I too like Fans or Dresden plates would float my boat. The fabrics are gorgeous (no surprise)!!

p.s. I’ve never had a fig in my whole life! but I sure am curious now… 🙂

Linda Fleming | 19th Feb 14

How about using one of my favorite blocks – either 3-D Bowties or Bear Paws.
I wish these fun, fantastic blocks began with “F”.
I also like the idea of a Sampler Quilt.

bee | 19th Feb 14

maybe some paper pieced type designs?

Mary Clendenin | 19th Feb 14

I would love to be entered into this current giveaway..to have some FigTree fabric would be lovely! Not to mention I’m Italian and LOVE figs!! 🙂

Nicki G | 19th Feb 14

I love your colors. They are especially nice as we look forward to SPRING here in the midwest. They make me want to sew something to help spring come faster!

Judy L | 19th Feb 14

Love your greens and blues and the way they go with the reds and peaches-you cannot go wrong with Moda fabrics…

Michelle Ruedy | 19th Feb 14

Love this new fabric line!!!

Marcia R. | 19th Feb 14

Love this “f”antastically clever blog post! OF COURSE FABRIC!!! Speaking of which, I would love to win the Mirabelle. OOH and you could maybe think about a medallion quilt pattern?

Capi | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a quilt with an alphabet around the border and something fun in the center. Thinking this would be a good way to make a neat child’s quilt.

I love your fabrics and patterns, by the way.

Karen Sheridan | 19th Feb 14

Would love to see your beautiful fabrics that are fresh and sunny with a twist in a vintage pattern… or anything that includes stars!

Kathy P. | 19th Feb 14

I would love a Lone Star or Pickledish pattern to make with your fabrics.

Mary Harrison | 19th Feb 14

I love the new Mirabelle line & would like to see a pattern using the layer cake.

Yvonne | 19th Feb 14

I personally can’t wait to get started on my pears quilt. Just waiting for my kit to arrive from you. Maybe a tumbler scrappy quilt from Mirabel, that would be really pretty! Yvonne

Joyce Fahlman | 19th Feb 14

Joanna, I would love to see your take on the Periwinkle Quilt — without templates!!!

Kathy Moskovitz | 19th Feb 14

I’m always happy to get inspired by your quilts! I guess right now I’d like to see anything ‘spring’ or ‘bunnies,’ and your Fabulous Fabrics are my Favorites!

Debbie | 19th Feb 14

Thanks for your letter F and your beautiful fabrics! You are an inspiration!
Fondly,
Debbie

liz F | 19th Feb 14

I’m kind of loving the large blocks recently – so maybe something with that?

Jessica White | 19th Feb 14

I’ve really been into sampler quilts this year….lots of variety without any commitment 🙂

So excited for this line!

Clare | 19th Feb 14

Hi! I would love to see something with a Drunkard’s Path design. I’ve seen photos online of some really gorgeous variations of this pattern. I am brand spanking new to quilting and was lucky enough to find Moda fabrics, and specifically Fig Tree and Company during internet searches for quilting fabric. I am so inspired by the beauty of your fabrics (I found Buttercup fabric online and am loving my simple, but lovely first project as it develops.) Cannot wait to get my hands on some Mirabelle fat quarters to make something extra special. That Hugs and Carousel quilt is something to aim for! Bring on March and thank you, Joanna for you wonderful textiles!

Luba | 19th Feb 14

I would like a sampler quilt with your lovely Fig Tree fabrics or the scrappy alphabet quilt you will be adding your beautiful F to please. Thank You.

April | 19th Feb 14

Love your color schemes! And, would love to win some Mirabelle, too! ;0)
I like little projects–like your Hexies and Pinecones. How about some pot holders or oven mits for beginners like me? Thanks so much for your inspiration!

Robin T | 19th Feb 14

One of my favorite quilt blocks is the Churn Dash. I would love to see a quilt using the Churn Dash and maybe some appliqué in colors of apricot and robin egg blue. I love your ‘love you more’ quilt.

I would love to see ANY kind of pattern that uses multiple pre-cuts. I have so, so, so many charm packs, layer cakes and jelly rolls that I can’t find enough ideas to use them BUT I love them so can’t stop buying them!! Living in Northern Michigan under 150+ inches of snow I love to look at your beautiful prints and assortments … it makes me feel like Spring/Summer is already here and the snow just seems to melt away!

I love the fabrics and quilts you showed. Especially Hugs and Carousel-think I might have to make me one of those. Although i think you always do a wonderful job creating unique patterns that show off your fabrics I have to say I think a quilt done up with the “arkansas traveler” quilt block would be quite cute…maybe with a touch of applique on it?

Hope to win the fabrics. Pick would love to see bachelor button blue with yellow in a French style.

Rosemarie Graham | 19th Feb 14

I would like to see a quilt pattern using a star design.Any of your fabric would be gorgeous, but can’t wait for the maribelle one coming out.

jackie | 19th Feb 14

Totally loved your post. Big seems to be big right now. I would love to see something pieced in 24″

betty | 19th Feb 14

How about a good idea for a crazy quilt with a mix of fabric lines and sizes? I just finished making a quilt of your earlier lines, Allspice Tapestry.

Erin F | 19th Feb 14

I agree with the above comment on the aqua and red and something with a lot of pieces!

Sandy | 19th Feb 14

With spring just around the corner, I would love to see some applique flowers and leaves with simple ragged edges. A pattern that is quick and fun and fresh. Perfect for snuggling at baseball games!

Allyson D | 19th Feb 14

I would love a sampler pattern from all the others, maybe in a mini?

tiffany | 19th Feb 14

Something with trees on it!

Susan | 19th Feb 14

love the colors Mirabelle! I’d like to see some strip quilt patterns.

Susan | 19th Feb 14

I like a couple of patterns *Breezy* and *Meow*….thanks for the chance to win!!

Cynthia Zielke | 19th Feb 14

I have been collecting your fabric for a few years now in the hopes of making curtains for my sewing room. Can’t come up with the right design. Maybe you can help. I have made a spool and fan quilt using Fig Tree. Love them. Can’t wait to see them on my studio wall. Thank you for your lovely fabric.

Lois Rogan | 19th Feb 14

I love fabric. Your website and stories are wonderful.

Mary Deckert | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see one of your patterns that including pumpkins ~ my favorite veggie and they come in such beautiful colors! Love, love, love your new collection!

Rina H. | 19th Feb 14

I would like to see a combo mini quilt / mini messenger bag pattern. That way people could choose to either finish it as a mini quilt and put it on the wall or make it into a small easy bag (you are very good at easy bag patterns!) Art and practicality in one! Thanks for the chance to provide input and the chance to win!

Silvana Bottino | 19th Feb 14

I would like to see some applique or a lone star

Lindsay | 19th Feb 14

I love your applique patterns and would love to see more of those within a quilt. Your fabrics are soooo beautiful and perfect for applique.

Isabell | 19th Feb 14

Your fabrics are beautiful! So soft and warm.
I would love to see a quilt pattern with ferris wheels! I have been looking for a pretty one but haven’t found one yet.

Deb | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a pattern with a little less white/cream and a little more color, especially the darker blues and brown. Thanks!

Vicki | 19th Feb 14

Yyiippeee!!!! A chance to win!!

Stephanie @ Quarter Incher | 19th Feb 14

Your new collection is gorgeous! I think it would look so pretty in a clamshell quilt 🙂

Marilyn | 19th Feb 14

I love your fabrics! I would like to see more patterns using jelly rolls or charm squares.

Linda W. | 19th Feb 14

I love Fig Tree fabrics! Wouldn’t a medallion quilt be beautiful in your colors and fabrics?

Jennie Adcock | 19th Feb 14

When I was a child my grandmother allowed me to choose a pattern for my very own “Mama made quilt”. I chose a fan quilt and it was made with scraps from aprons, dresses, etc. of all our family. I would love to see you update this wonderful, old and still favorite pattern in your soft, romantic palette.

charlisbaskets@verizon.net | 19th Feb 14

I’m new to your blog but look forward to reading it-did we grow up together? I feel like I know you. Would love to expand my stash to include your fabrics. I’m sure I can come up with a design it two for a quilt.

Mary Jo | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see some sort of pattern with Figs in it and maybe a Fig Tree!

Kathleen Conner | 19th Feb 14

Your fabrics and patterns are so Fun and Fresh; they make me happy. Have you created a pie pattern yet? Maybe it’s all the cherries and pears in your patterns that are making me hungry for a pie pattern.

Viv | 19th Feb 14

I’d love more birds. Singing in the Rain is one of my favorites and I’ve always wanted to see it expanded into a quilt.

Jill Froelich | 19th Feb 14

Love me some hexies

Lisa Stahl | 19th Feb 14

I’m a big fan of your Honeysweet fabric and I have a big pile of it in my stash waiting to be turned into the PERFECT leaf quilt, but I refuse to cut into it until I find just what I am looking for in a pattern. I have seen the pointy leaf tilted to the side, but I would like something more whimsical than that with softer, curvy edges. More like an oak leaf than a maple leaf. I have tried to design it myself but I’m not an advanced enough quilter to do it properly. I think that you would be perfect to design this type of pattern based on the whimsy of your other patterns. You’re more than welcomed to contact me if it sounds like something you might want to run with.

Chrissy O | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see a spring pinwheel and petal quilt. The tought warms me up enough to melt the 2 foot of snow outside 🙂

Kathryn M | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see an easy piecing diamond pattern, something that is simple that sets your fabric like jewels.

Diane | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see more holiday patterns, your fabric lends itself so well to just using red & green , and fall colors. I just finished the Carousel pattern for a mug rug and when I showed it to my quilting group, they swooned!

Tfulinara@bellsouth.net | 19th Feb 14

I would like to see a modern quilt done. I know your vintage inspired fabric would make a magnificent modern quilt. Tammy

Christina Mejer | 19th Feb 14

Anything with stars or half square triangles, I also love scrappy quilts. Love the softness of your line!

LindaB | 19th Feb 14

A pattern with larger blocks..that is quick to finish…stars are good…LindaB

Mardeen | 19th Feb 14

I would love to see another diamond pattern, maybe with stars.

Toni Anne Potter | 19th Feb 14

A larger house block as a center with multiple borders of trees, flowers, stars…with smaller plain borders and log cabin corner stones. I think that would be my perfect quilt. Thanks for giving us all inspiration and for such beautiful fabrics. ;-> Toni Anne

Nancy | 19th Feb 14

Love all your fabric collections and patterns! Would maybe like to see your beautiful fabrics in a traditional quilt pattern like a log cabin, Ohio Star, Tree of Life, etc…

Kathy C in OR | 19th Feb 14

Thank you for the link to the Moda Cutting Table site.

Sarina | 19th Feb 14

Your cherry and pear quilts are so cute, what about doing a FIG quilt?!

plantjunkie@comcast.com | 19th Feb 14

I love your new fabric line! It would be fun to see some kind of log cabin design!

Grace | 19th Feb 14

I absolutely love the warmth of your fabric lines! I think I would like to see something resembling a cathedral window quilt. It would be a fun play on something very traditional with a warm, homey feel to it 🙂 homespunhandmaiden(at)yahoo(dot)com

Judy Toelleo | 19th Feb 14

Hello! I love your block designs and the tradional, classic, yet modern feeling they invoke! I would love to see a pattern that uses piecing in combination with some machine appliqué and creamy spaces to show off modern machine quilting! Thanks for the chance…adore Mirabelle!
