Friday Finish: Miss Kate Something New Quilt - Another Fabulous Fat Eighth Quilt!

First, the winner of all three patterns from last week was Christine! I've e-mailed you you your bundle of patterns! Congrats!

My fourth pattern, Something New. With quarter square triangles and flying geese. And lions, tigers, and bears. Oh my.



The blocks finish at 16", and the quilt finishes at 68"X86". Again, she's fat eighth friendly, and so fun to make scrappy. Kate went scrappy with hers, and I'm loving the scrappy red, white and blue:


I sketched up a version done in all navy, just to see if those blocks would look like snowflakes, and they did! I think this would make a lovely winter quilt.


And now, let's have a giveaway. This is the last of my quilt patterns for a bit, besides the maxi versions premiering next week. So let's make it fun! The winner will receive PDF copies of all four patterns, plus their choice of F8 bundle from Westwood Acres. Just leave me a comment telling me if you prefer paper or PDF patterns. Inquiring minds want to know.

Giveaway runs through next Tuesday night. I'll announce the winner Wednesday morning. Good luck. If you don't feel like waiting, the pattern is available in my Craftsy shop for $5, this week only.

Oh, and checking this girl off the 4QFAL list!

  5. Gorgeous pattern! It looks stunning in the navy and white. I like both but it's a bit like magazines and paper copies just seem nicer somehow! Also I'm more likely to use them because I can physically see them in my sewing area!

  10. Congratulations on your patterns they're lovely! I like the instant gratification of PDF's but have never downloaded a pattern and immediately started sewing also I feel like I have to have a paper copy too so I print it out and store it in a binder with all the other paper patterns I own! Seems like I should just buy the paper pattern lol.

  13. Beautiful Quilt. I love PDFs. I can organize them on my computer and if I need to have a paper copy for my sewing room, I can print one out. Thanks for the chance.

  14. I like both. If the pattern has alot of pictures, i prefer to have it printed. If it isn't too bad, I enjoy instant pdfs.

  19. Those snowflakes are perfect! I'm always a pdf pattern person. I like not having to keep up with paper.

  20. PDF, so they're harder to lose!

  21. I love the dark blue version!

    I kind of prefer PDF, because there's no waiting or trip to the quilt shop, but I've lost too many of them over the years to computer crashes.

  22. I usually prefer pdf"s but not for clothing - too many pieces to tape.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I'm starting to like PDF better, as long as my printer is working! Just LOVE how the navy and white really makes it look like snowflakes are falling! All the quilts are gorgeous!

  24. 16" blocks are great for me -- I can make a quilt 48" x 64" and be within the size requirements; or even add a narrow border if I choose too!
    It's a lovely looking quilt, Jennie. I think I'll have to buy this one!

  26. I prefer paper.....I am old school....love to see it and feel it....and to be able to look at the pattern instead of scrolling through pages....I hope this makes sense

  27. I love paper patterns. This quilt is beautiful in the colors and in the blue and white.

  28. "Something New" is an especially pretty design! I love scrappy quilts and that's what mine will be when I make one for myself! I have used PDF patterns only once and didn't have a lot of luck, so I'd prefer the paper patterns which have never given me trouble!

  29. I prefer paper. I struggle to have a good storage system on my computer for them.

  33. I like either depends on how big of a hurry I am to make the quilt. I really like the border on this quilt.

  34. Beautiful quilt! Paper patterns are soooo convenient, but I have a bunch of PDF ones, too.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I like paper patterns. It's cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to buy toner. When I get a PDF pattern I end up driving to the library to print it (unless I'm in a real hurry to have it RIGHT NOW!)

  38. PDF for sure. So much easier to keep track of patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think this is my favorite pattern so far. I like PDF as long as I can still print what is necessary. It is so nice being able to pull it up electronically at the LQS.

  40. I still love the paper form. I guess I like old school! Great quilt!

  41. I like paper much better. sarah@forrussia.org

  42. I prefer paper because my printer thinks that every time I purchase a pattern it should have a new ink cartridge. So frustrating! Thanks for a chance to win your fabulous patterns!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I usually order PDF patterns - I only prefer paper if there are templates.

    ReplyDelete
  44. PDF...I have waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much paper in my life! :-O

  45. Great pattern. I prefer the PDF versions.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Paper please - I am old school too! Love the quilt.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Paper patterns are nice if you are using applique or making clothes. PDF patterns are great if you do not need to cut out odd shapes.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Paper. I can't pinpoint the reason. I'm the same way with books. I don't like to read them on a kindle. Thanks for the chance to win!

  52. I prefer PDF patterns - that way I can print them again if I lose the paper pieces!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I love my pdf patterns because they are instant gratification and they are very easy to store!

    ReplyDelete
  54. OMG!!! love the blue and white, it does look just like snowflakes all over. I like to have pdf patterns, saved on the computer for when I want to use them. BUT.... I also like to go thru my printed patterns (ok, I admit, I tend to pet them and dream). however, if they're on the computer I can't lose them.

    ReplyDelete
  55. A very belated whooohooo!!! And thank you. :) (Also, I love this pattern too. It’s going on my list.)

    ReplyDelete
  56. Love the navy and white version. I like both for different reasons. Paper look more professional and are lovely to have. PDF get to me immediately and I can store them digitally as well as physically, so if I lose my print out I can do it again.
