Fabulous Freebies Blog Hop Comes to Creatin' in the Sticks

Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks
and
the Fabulous Freebies Blog Hop.


Joan over at MooseStash Quilting
 is the brilliant mind behind this hop to share FREE online patterns.

It's been a great year here in the Sticks
and
it all started with the
Challenge.

 that are fast and fun to make alone or combined in countless combinations
for quick quilts.



I've made it a goal to make a quilt out of each block
and
today I've made one of the most popular of all the blocks into a quilt.


The block is Dutch Door (Block #4)
and is the 3rd most popular of all 30 blocks.
(This statistic is from page visits and Pinterest shares)


This block is so great for beginning quilters
and
a fun, fast block for a modern quilt.

This Dutch Door Quilt is made from 20 blocks and a 1" finished border.
Size:  42" x 52"

The fabric is from the Charlotte Collection by Anna Griffin with a background of Kona white.

The quilt has lots of negative space for some fun quilting.


I tried a different backing fabric and it's so pretty.

It's a flannel backed satin and it quilts so beautifully.  It's buttery soft too.


Thank you, Joan, for this super fun hop!

Here is the full schedule for more freebies:

Monday August 20

Happy Hopping
and
Don't forget to thank the designers for the free patterns.
(That's a lot of work for no payment)

And a little reminder - sign-ups for the 
Pick a Pumpkin
Blog Hop
are happening right now
and I would love for you to join us.

Your 30 Blocks in 30 Days Quilt is a wonderful treasure trove of free patterns. Thank you, Carla. When I was trying to decide which fabulous freebie to share, yours was in the final four. My post was just getting to long to share all my favorite fabulous freebies. I am so happy to see this in the hop ... :-) Pat

Your quilting is breathtaking! Where did you find the flannel-backed satin? I love the simplicity of this quilt. In my quirky mind, I see the doors in bright colors against a monster background. Thank you for the inspiration.

Carol said...

Sweet quilt--love that fabric choice too! Every quilt you've made from 30 Blocks looks great--30 Blocks was an inspiration on your part and helps inspire us too. Thanks for sharing!

Marian said...

From one of my favorite hops of the year, what a fab quilt.. That design really does give you that modern feel, yet is fun and fab at the same time. I bet that flannel is going to make that quilt very comfy.

Very lovely quilt from such a simple block. Thanks for the look at the backing, I had never thought to use a flannel backed satin as a backing. It looks so luxurious!
