A big show off! :)

About two months ago, I had a "sad" post where I was complaining about the fact that I didn't feel that my effort in putting together the pdf patterns, color them, share them, etc. was worth it...
because I was the only one actually sewing my patterns...
at least that's what I thought...
But I was WRONG :)

Many of you reached out to me after that post and really cheered me up... and shared with me fabulous blocks that you made with my patterns!

So this is a "happy-dance" post that collects all the pictures that has been shared with me in the last couple of months (and one of the pattern is tested, fixed and released in its gigantic beauty ;) )

So without further ado, let's start this wonderful-blocks-parade!!

Betty Boop - pattern designed upon request, and pieced by Sarah 

Minnie Mouse - not one, but two very cute Minnie blocks, pieced by Lois

Minion (short) - pieced by HerbMyst

Minion (tall) - pieced by Tiffany

Snoopy & Woodstock - pieced by Jan (FB)

Sally, Linus and Lucy - pieced by Jaclyn (Pinterest, Craftsy)

SNOOPY QUILT - a complete QUILT featuring some snoopy fabric and my blocks, pieced by Tabitha

Sword in the Stone - Kysaundra is making another full "Sword in the Stone" quilt... using colors that are from the original movie... aren't those block gorgeous???

and last (but not least)

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland title, pieced by Raven

And thanks to Raven's comments and advice I fixed the pattern and now it is available in Quilt&Stitch-TestAlong.

And as a conclusive word, if you are thinking about testing one of my patterns (or the many more that other FiS designer have), join our new Facebook group. Pattern Designers and potential Pattern Testers! You can see sneak peek of patterns that will be available soon on FiS ;) and you can grab this fun button and put it on your blog ;)

A winner, a PLEA and 5 new patterns!

Let's start with the plea :)

Please please please...
take 5 minutes of your time to check if you are a no-reply blogger!!
There are tons of tutorial that shows you how to check and how to stop this terrible thing that is preventing you to get new friends, replies to your comments and prizes!!!

A simple step-by-step tutorial can be found HERE:
http://www.flusterbuster.com/2013/02/are-you-no-reply-blogger.html
It has pictures and detailed instructions...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, do that now!!! It's NOT HARD... :)
I had more than 15 people that commented but because of the no-reply situation didn't have a chance to win.

BTW: many people are no-reply blogger but they connected with me through FB or Google+... so even if I didn't see your email, I tossed your name in the drawing... but just because it's Christmas and I didn't want to sound lazy :) but please, it's very sad when I have a price and no way to contact the winner...

I didn't make you jump through hoops to get in the giveaway, 
so do make ME jump through hoops of fire just to find a way to contact you!!!

So pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease check if you are a no-reply blogger NOW!!

And if you tried any of the blocks, please please please please send me a picture of the block or publish the picture on the FiS Flickr Group (or both of them :) ). I would love to see your work!!

And with today's blocks, I shared with you all the blocks of my Sword in the Stone quilt (mystery revealed ;) )!!
In the Disney Quilt page you can see how I put together the blocks... don't ask me how I did it :) I don't have any measurement or instructions... I just put a wide sashing to each block and then I put them on the floor, turned them a little to get the wonky look and then sew together the different sections... I guess there are tutorials for that if you need help... I just eyeballed everything :)
