#1: My Favorite 'THREADS'
Inspired by loads of grey scraps and this quilt by Debbie @ A Quilter's Table, I came up with one of my favorite quilts of the year. Also, Debbie was amazingly gracious to me and my quilt. Another reason quilt bloggers are the best of the best!
#2: My Denyse Schmidt Quilt
I had the privilege of participating in the New Blogger's Blog Hop this year. This was an amazing experience from an educational stand point, but it was a chance to meet new people, share our blog and find new blogs!
Part of the series involved designing an original block for Fabri-Quilt New Blog Block Hop. I designed my block called 'Casual Link'. My first original block. It inspired me to put it to the test, use a stack of fabric that was sitting on a shelf and broaden my horizons by using prints.
Hopefully this quilt will become a pattern early this year!
#3: My Confetti Dots Pillow. Loads of Views.
There are times when I just want to play! Color, fabric, techniques or style. Having an idea and watching it transform from start to finish is quite the thrill!
#4: My Shadow Block Tutorial
I never would have thought this would be such a popular tutorial! Much to my surprise and delight it was! Sweet simplicity has it going on!
#5: My Improv Mini Quilts
Freedom of the blade and imagination. Calming and satisfying. Unique and different. Endless possibilities! Just a few of the reasons I love improv and making these Mini's!
It was hard to pick my top 5! But I'm going with these! Thank you Cheryl for end of the year round up!

DeleteIt's always a pleasure to see what you have come up with, Jayne. I love your quilting style! And it is great to see which of your quilts made your personal top 5.

ReplyDeleteI hope this 2016 is as good or better than last year…time will tell, but I'm ready to hit the floor running!
DeleteJayne, you have such a great eye for color. I love your piecing work and the beautiful colors of your Improv Mini Quilts. I don't know how you managed to narrow it down to five items, you have created so many beautiful works of art this past year. It has been wonderful to get to know you and I look forward to see where you go and what you do in 2016.
ReplyDeleteIt always shocks me when someone says that! Most of the time I tend to 'grab and go' with color! Thank you for the continued support Tish. 2015 was filled with bright spots and many included meeting new people like you!
DeleteI love all the makes you've featured. I've really loved reading your blog this year. I can't wait to see what is in store for 2016!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's been a great year and I so look forward to 2016 adventures!
DeleteHi Jayne and Happy New Year! I love your quilts! I'm also happy to see again that fantastic pillow! Just separated little triangles. x Teje
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try the pillow again, maybe this will be the year!
DeleteIt's a great list! All of these are favorites for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to say Jennifer! It was a great year for me and for so many! Can't ever beat our community of bloggers…for everything!
DeleteGreat selection, I love your quilts!
ReplyDeleteYour threads quilt is my favourite as well Jayne...but I love those improv minis and the confetti dot pillow as well.
ReplyDeleteAwww…thanks Lisa! It's hard to pick 5 favorites, except for Threads! I'm anxious to try another version of the Confetti pillow soon!
DeleteThese are all amazing, what great finishes, I couldn't choose among them! Great modern work!
ReplyDeleteI remember all of these quilts, I loved them all and am so glad I got to see them again! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDelete2015 was a great year!! Your projects are awesome. I love that we had the opportunity to design the block. I finally picked Kona to make a quilt out of my block. And my hope for 2016 is to make a pattern. Here's for an even better 2016.
ReplyDeleteWe both have similar goals!! Make a pattern or two! I don't think I would have ever designed my block had it not been for the New Bloggers Blog Hop! I'm sad that I can't join the fun for this year.
DeleteSo much quilty goodness here! Threads and Confetti Dots must have been before we made our quilty connection. I love them both! Confetti Dots... I can't even decide what I like most. The colour and contrast, the quilting, those pointy bits in the border. Too much to choose from. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all so amazing, I can't choose a favorite! I love all of your work!
ReplyDeleteThat Pillow always catches my eye when I see it;)
ReplyDeleteWow!! They were all so beautiful...my jaw just kept dropping more and more as I scrolled down! Stunning designs and color choices!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I’m in love with the Threads quilt! :) Great!!!
