I’m joining the Best of 2018 Linky Party hosted by Cheryl Brickey of Meadow Mist Designs. It’s my first time here, so let me share a few of my favorite quilts from my year with you.

Spring Paws Patio Table Topper

A favorite quilt of our family, we use this often during the warm months when we have meals on our patio.

Sunrise Sunset Mini Quilt

This quilt was a design a drew up for the 30 Quilt Designs in 30 Days hosted by Sandra of mmmQuilts. I enjoyed creating this quilt from my sketch.

Palm Canyon Bag

This bag with matching zipper pouch is one of my most used items.

I made this using a half jelly roll of Palm Canyon fabrics by Violet Craft. You can read about my design process for this bag here. I didn’t use a pattern, just designed as I went along.

Autumn Drive Quilt

Another design of my own, this improv strip quilt is one of my favorites from this year.

While the design process was fun, I really enjoyed taking this quilt with us on a road trip to Duluth, where I managed to get this photo. I made another smaller version of this strip quilt as a table runner. The Eleuthera Table Runner was given as a gift to a friend.

Mod Peels Wall Quilt

This is my favorite quilt that I made this year. This was my project for the Art with Fabric Blog Hop hosted in November. Rather than focus on a particular artist, I chose to focus on a particular style – Mid Century Modern.

I loved every bit of the design process for this quilt, from the sketch to the finish. Details are in this post, where I show the machine quilting and the use of orange peels in the design.

And there you have it, my Best of 2018 top five favorites for the year. Grab another cup of coffee or tea and head over to Meadow Mist Designs and take some time to read more Best of 2018 Linky Party posts. You’ll find quite a bit of inspiration! Thanks, Cheryl, for hosting the linky party once again this year!
