Welcome to 2015. Are you ready? I’m not quite ready because today I am going to share my favorite quilts from 2014. Considering I made very few actual quilts this year (I mostly made runners and minis), I had to get a little creative. I decided to come up with my favorite for an assortment of categories.
#1 – Favorite use of Hexagons:
Patchwork Mosiac Runner (found here). This is also some of my favorite machine quilting, simple as it is.
#2: Favorite use of a Mini Charm Pack:
Woven Squares (found here)
#3 Favorite use for a blue dresser:
#4 Favorite Topper
#5 Favorite Binding:
Spinners (Also favorite use of the partial seam technique and triangles. Oh, and hexagons. Did I already do that one?)
#6 – Favorite secondary use for a runner – Use as a bed runner:
#7 Favorite quilt made with one of my fabric lines:
Puppy Love using the I Love Puppies fabric.
#8 – Favorite non-scrappy quilt (By the way, this is the only non-scrappy almost-two-color-quilt that I have made this year)
#9 Current Favorite Color Combination: Grey, aqua, teal, and green
#10 – Favorite project using fabrics from my stash
#11 – Favorite Project using a strip piecing technique:
Awesome Blossom
#12 Favorite Mini:
#13 Favorite Project from 2014:
Max 😉 Hands down. No question about it!
That’s all the categories that I could come up with. I hope your year was full of favorite quilts too!
Trends and Traditions 
Great stuff! I loved all of it , especially the last one !!!
All are so beautiful. Max is so cute!! Thank you.
love every one of the projects. One of the favorite is Mr. Max. He is so cute. Can’t wait to see ya in the fall at LBBC retreat. Happy New Year to all of you.
All the projects are Winners! Max is so Handsome!
Max is in a uber special category head and shoulders above all else!!!!! My absolute fave, and the reason I purchased your book, is “Nordic Stars”. Living where I do (S.E.MN, not too far North of Decorah, IA, and the absolute “heart” of Swedish/Norwegian territory) it would be “un-American” not to love this and make it (one of my goals for this year…….although, hopefully, a bit larger in a lap quilt!). Beautiful!!! Your quilting on each, although very simple, is the perfect enhancement for each!!! Love your style!!!!! Hugs from the soon-to-be–more-frozen southern “arrow-head”………
Love your photos. Very nilce of quilting, knitting, decorating but esp the two non-quilt projects.
Super blog today, Heather. You are right – a child is such an amazing blessing -to your family and those around you who can watch him grow.
The bed runner is perfect and I’m going to have to try your green -teal combination. Blessed new year !
I love how colorful your quilts always are. It’s hard to choose a favorite. Question. I always notice the blue bird you use in your displays. Where did you get it?
very beautiful Heather great work
All these fun projects and the amazing Max project! 2014 was a wonderful year!
Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year!
What a cute baby, and the runners are beautiful Heather. Love your blog. Happy New Year
Can you share what solid gray is your favorite choice for those runners? Thank you!
Of course Max was your very best project this year!!! I really like Nordic Stars and Pretty In Pink. Can’t wait to see what you come up with this year.
