she's also the host of the inspire circle of do. good stitches, which is how i met her.
each month, our group creates blocks for a charity quilt, designed by one of our circle's awesome members. we send the blocks to that month's quilter, who creates the quilt and delivers it to it's recipient. it's been really rewarding to be a part of this - each month i find myself challenged to create a unique block to become part of an amazing quilt, and i have learned a lot about quilting, while doing something good!
here's another one of the quilts holly designed that we contributed blocks to - sherbert squares.

I'm thinking the Bloggers Bundle by Cara W. of CaraQuilts would be perfect. But since that's not a single line of fabric, I could go to Apple of My Eye as a back-up plan.
I might try Kate Spin's new Cuzco line - love those deep colors!
I'd like to make this with It's a Shore Thing. That would make it bright and perfect for my kids! Thanks for a chance to win! :)
I'd make it with solids!
I have some Tula Pink Parisville that would be fab for this.
I haven't worked with all solids and I think this would be a great first pattern to try it with.
I would love to make it with Vintage Modern.
They are all so lovely! Maybe scrappy? Good way to use up those leftovers!
MGM
I'm going to say either scrappy or maybe some Amy Butler Cameo!
I would use a pretty combination of pinks and brown
Not sure what fabric prints I'd use...maybe one with straight solids and another with Lucy's Crab Shack? Okay...maybe another with some Hawaiian prints fabs, if I can find some cool modern ones.
I'm not sure what fabrics I would use, but something bright and fun for baby's nursery!
I just saw a new (to me, anyway) line called "Nightshade" and I think those would look great w/Colorblock :)
I think I'd make this up with solids and either a heather bailey or amy butler print
I think I'd make this up in solids with either a heather bailey or amy butler print.
I would use a walk in the woods. It would show it off beautifully.
I think I would try and use fabric from my stash as I have so much of it and can't justify buying more! So there would be a real mix of designers, The Quilted Fish, Lizzy House, Aneela Hoey and Amy Butler, in fact just thinking about it I'm quite inspired! thanks for the chance to win
Wouldnt the ghastlier be fun to use with this pattern! Thanks for the giveaway
I would use Birds and Bees by Tula Pink! thanks!
I have a huge stash - so I'd choose a focus fabric and some blenders & make the pattern. Thanks for the giveaway.
I think the kona solids would be awesome. With orange as the focal color.
Maybe few bright colors fabrics from my stash :)
I've got some yummmy moda crossweaves that would look great in that chevron!
I would use my stash to make the quilt for an upcoming baby shower.
I think solids would be a good place to start
I would make ths from my stash, it really is fascinating
I love my vintage fabrics so I would definitely make it with those :)
I think I would make it with Kona solids! I just swapped and have lots of lovely colors!
Wouldn't it be fun in all polka dots? I think that's what I'll make for my sister and brother-in-law when they adopt!!
Probably Kona Solids maybe Moda Solids. I am not sure but I do know mine would be blues and yellows. :O
What a super pattern. I'd love to usesome Kate Spain, maybe some of the new beautiful solids out now.
Thank you and Bijou Lovely for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

I would love to make this with solids and patterned colours in greens, purples and greys. No novelty prints just plain colours. It is a great pattern.
