Top 5 of 2015

When Cheryl of Meadow Mist Designs announced that she would host a link party and invited us to write a blog post about our Top 5 blog posts of 2015, I knew I had to participate.  Looking back on the year is something I always do before setting goals for the new one.  And so instead  of just listing the blog posts that received the most visitors or comments, I decided to compile a list of "firsts".

FMQ Sampler - This sampler was my first QAYG finish.  I learned so much while making this quilt.



SuperNova - My SuperNova quilt was my first collaboration.  Half of the blocks were pieced by Julie of It's Sew Julie!  I had a blast making this quilt and got to know a bloggy friend better in the process.



Festive Forest - This Festive Forest quilt was the first time a fabric designer asked me to make something for a new collection.  Tamara of Tamara Kate Designs supplied the fabrics for this and I had an awesome time playing with these gorgeous designs.



QAYG Bed Quilt - This QAYG bed quilt was my first big quilt made without a pattern.  I found a picture on Pinterest and used graph paper to design it.  I then pieced the quilted sections together using the QAYG method I learned the previous Fall.



The Guitar Quilt - The Guitar quilt was my first pixelated quilt.  I used a pattern as a starting point, but then changed it a bit using graph paper.



A huge thank you to Cheryl for organizing such a fun link party!  I loved going back through my blog posts from the last year!
