My Best of 2015

Hi and welcome to my stop on the Best of 2015 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 all giveaway posts and the instruction posts for my Midnight Mystery quilt-a-long).  Click on any of the titles to be taken to the blog post for more information and pictures.

1.  Sea Star  - This quilt combined two of my favorite things, a plus sign quilt (yes, I have an obsession on them) and the color blue.  I set a bunch different Kona blues on a crisp white background and finished the quilt with some straight line quilting echoing the seam lines.



2.  Quick and Easy Charm Square Baby Quilt - I needed a baby quilt in a hurry and had some leftover charm squares to use.  This tutorial is for a baby sized disappearing nine-patch quilt.


3.  Foothills Mystery Quilt Reveal - The Foothills Mystery quilt was the first mystery quilt-a-long I hosted on my blog which finished up with its reveal in March.  You can find the entire reveal parade here and the current Midnight Mystery quilt here.



4.  Building Blocks - This quilt and tutorial were posted on the Moda Bake Shop back in January.  I had such fun getting to play with the Daysail line by Bonnie and Camille and create this fun baby quilt.


5.  Modern Quilt Guild Riley Blake Challenge - I love quilt challenges as they force me to think outside the box and make a quilt that I might not normally make.  In this challenge we had to do something we had never done before.  For me that meant making a triangle quilt for the first time.  This quilt was gifted to my new niece that arrived in November.


Thanks for stopping by my blog!  I hope you will consider linking up your favorite posts from 2015!
