Floating by Cooking Up Quilts Giveaway

I love being able to return the favor of pattern reviewing and testing for my pattern reviewers. I recently had the opportunity to review Beth from Cooking Up Quilts's very first pattern called Floating. Beth is such an awesome pattern tester, one of the fastest quilters I have ever met.


The pattern uses 5 fabrics, 4 print fabrics and a background and contains instructions for five sizes – baby, lap, twin, queen, and king.   The pattern is very well written, clear with excellent instructions and illustrations.  Most of the pieces for the block are made using strip piecing which is such a time saver. Floating is now available on Beth's Etsy and Craftsy shops.



Beth has graciously allowed me to giveaway a pdf version of the Floating quilt pattern to two winners. Simply leave a comment below with your favorite color combination right now. Leave your e-mail address if you are a no-reply blogger.

Giveaway now over, thanks for taking part!

    I love this pattern!! My favorite combinations are blue and green, but I am learning to step out of my comfort zone and experiment with oranges and pinks as well.

    This truly is a beautiful pattern design! So many dimensions to it and the name fits perfectly!
    My current favorite color combo is gray and yellow. Gray is mellow and calm while the yellow just lifts it up!

    Hi...what a great pattern! I would love to do it in shades of gray, red, black and white (or pale pale gray)...although my favorite color combination at the moment is red, yellow, turquoise and cream----right out of a vintage kitchen of the 1950's! Thank you for the opportunity...love your blog.

    That is such an eye catching design. The colors and quilting really enhance it too. Right now my favorite colors are anything with purple, green and black and white. Usually I gravitate toward the jewel colors for many things. This pattern would be striking in neutrals with a high contrast too - blacks, browns (darks) and gray and white with a touch of a bright zinger. Ohhh all the possibilities! Thanks for a chance to win the pattern.

  40. LauraAugust 4, 2015 at 10:53 AM

    Right now I'm experimenting with grey (or low volume with grey) and almost anything else. I like my background fabric to make the other fabrics "pop". I find white a little stark, so am working with grey as a neutral, just because.

    recently finished a baby quilt wherein the mother-to-be asked for soft colors "think sea glass" she said....not my usual palate, but I went with it - turned out so well I think I will use these colors again - surprising what you can learn from others.

    I really like the way this pattern uses different shades of a color to emphasize depth and transparencies. The navy on the bottom steps up to the green level on top. Right now, I'm liking warm bright colors (think stars) against dark backgrounds. Not ruling any colors out -- I like to use as many fabrics as I can.
