My Best of 2017

Hi and welcome to my stop on the Best of 2017 blog linky party!  I had such fun going through my posts from the year to figure out which 5 posts I would be highlighting today.  It was a great way for me to review the year and revisit some finishes from earlier in the year that I had forgotten about.

I picked my top 5 posts by the posts with the most views (minus any giveaway posts).  Click on any of the titles to be taken to the actual blog post for more details and pictures.


1.  Magnolia Mystery Quilt

The Magnolia Mystery quilt is my current 2017-18 quilt along and has had several of its instructions be my top viewed posts.  The quilt top was just revealed earlier this month and the reveal parade will be in March (so there is still plenty of time to join in)!

2.  Meadow Mystery Quilt

Another of my top posts was for the Meadow Mystery Quilt.  This mystery quilt finished up in the spring with over 250 versions of the quilt design! I had such fun quilting along with everyone and seeing their different versions of the mystery quilt. You can see all of the finishes here: Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3.

3.  Modern Plus Sign Quilts Book

My book, Modern Plus Sign Quilts, that is coming out soon (early February!).  I am excited to have the book publishing soon and will be having a book hop and other events to celebrate its release.

4.  5 Tips for Ruler Quilting on a Domestic Machine

My top viewed tutorial this year was on tips for quilting with a ruler on a domestic machine.  I included some tips about rulers, moving the ruler and quilt together, ergonomics, hand position, and pressure.

5.  Up the Ladder

Up the Ladder was my quilt pattern for the 3rd pattern collection of Quilt Theory. The quilt design was inspired by traditional quilt ladders used to showcase and store quilts and is a lap sized, jelly roll or mini charm pack friendly pattern.
