Hi friends!
I am so excited to show you my new batik line with Island Batik called Winged Things!!!
The Inspiration
One of my favorite places to wander is the Denver Botanic Garden. I love it in winter, in spring, summer and fall!
I often get inspiration from there. The inspiration for this line was spring at the garden… the bees buzzing, the butterflies flitting about and the soft pastels of the spring flowers.
The fabrics of Winged Things
For my fabrics, I chose a limited color palette- soft yellow, oranges, and purples.
I love how this came out – it feels so soft and a little bold all at the same time!
The quilts in Winged Things
I made quite a few quilts using the line. Here is a quick line up of the quilts!
Chopped
Chopped is a strip pack friendly quilt pattern.
There are 2 sizes – this version is the lap.
Both use just one strip pack but the larger bed quilt also adds a background to stretch the blocks to a bigger quilt!
I love the quilting we did on this one!
Lark
Lark is named after my cute kitty and it features appliquéd butterflies.
I figured since the line had butterflies, I needed to make a quilt with them too.
And we quilted it with butterflies!
Soar in Winged Things
Soar is a unique BOM quilt pattern that incorporates traditional blocks in a more modern setting.
For fun, we made it in a light and a dark background!
I called the light background Daybreak and the dark, Nightfall.
So fun how all the blocks work together in this quilt. I know there are a few shops we are doing this as a BOM. It should be fun!
Sparks
And last, but not least, Sparks!
Sparks is the quilt I am teaching next month on the cruise with Stitchin Heaven.
Should be a fun time!!

I like making lap size quilts. They are just the right size to give to someone going through a tough time in their life. Your colors are beautiful! Just in time for Spring! Butterflies are one of my favorite things that I enjoy watching!
I have gravitated towards smaller works lately, like wall hangings or table runners. I love using beautiful batik fabrics and have used a lot of blues, I would like to work with some beautiful batiks like yours, with different colors and designs. They are so happy!
Wonderful colors and the patterns used in the quilts enhance each other. Beautiful!
I tend to make large lap quilts. That way I can get more done in a year and try a variety of patterns.
STUNNING WAVES OF COLOR! Batiks are my weaknesses. Yours are just beautiful!! I would do a lap quilt, in memory of the stroll my oldest and I took at Those Beautiful Gardens when I went out to visit in 2016!!!. Smiles
I love making throw size quilts!
Love your collections with bright colors. I generally make queen or full size quilts. So versatile.
What a beautiful batik bundle! I mostly make throw and queen size quilts.
I love these fabrics. I like to make bed size quilts so I can use them to keep warm.
The colors are beautiful! I am currently working on my first quilt (a temperature quilt), and it will end up being quite large.
I love this collection! My favorite color is purple. I enjoy making smaller quilts (baby, lap and twin).
Absolutely beautiful! This would make the perfect spring lap quilt’
Beautiful fabrics! I usually make lap quilts.
Love the batiks. Such an unusual combination. I would love a lap quilt in it
I love the color combination! That is an area that I’m weak at. I’m enjoying making lap quilts to twin size. I also like making table runners with place mats. I’m just starting and watching lots of tutorials. I am looking forward to your free pattern to arrive for my next challenge.
Love the colors and working with batiks are my favorite. The soar quilt is lovely and would be so fun to make with this line. I tend to use partof a pattern and then adapt to something I can make in a weekend if possible for most projects. So table runners and smaller quilts but I also like to deep dive on bigger ones and change up the math to create a challenge and unique sizes.
Love these colors! I enjoy making lap quilts and table runners. I’m currently teaching some young ladies how to sew!
Thank you for being so creative!
I love Daybreak and Nightfall. It’s interesting to see how the quilt looks with different backgrounds. I love your creativity.
I tend to sew smaller projects. Something that I can complete in a shorter amount of time. Something practical & pretty like a bag that is pretty and useful.
I love this new line! I’m a big fan of orange and purple to begin with so it’s perfect. I generally make lap size quilts but occasionally I go bigger or do a table runner.
Not usually a big batik fan, but these are lovely – love the colors!
Forgot to say–I like bed size quilts–and some throw size for the sofa.
I love purple and the orange tones with it are so pretty!!
I love this colors beautiful. I made most lap size quilts.
I make more baby to lap size quilts. Beautiful fabric line.
Oooh…I love batiks! They’re gorgeous! I just love to quilt. These size depends on my quilt design. 🙂
I loved the bright colors of winged things….it lifts my spirits on a grey winter day. I make mostly large lap quilts and table runners. .i can imagine how bright my day will be while actually working with the fabric…like a ray of warm sunshine on a snowy day.
What gorgeous quilt designs and a brilliant and cheerful fabric collection. I love them all.
As to my favorite size quilts to make? I make them all, but as tend to make more queen and king size quilts In guess I should say those are my favorite sizes. It really depends on who I am making a quilt for and what the need is, as well as design and fabrics. For your yummy and cheerful bundle of fabrics I would love to selfishly make a king for our master bedroom. Again it is just such a cheerful collection why not wake up happy with it?
I absolutely LOVE your quilts! The colors are magnificent! I’m a newbie to quilting but have made some lap size quilts! They were the perfect size for my grandkids! I can’t wait to make more and larger ones! Thank you for sharing your love of quilting!
Your new fabrics are sew beautiful! My favourite size quilt to make is a lap quilt.
You new fabrics are gorgeous! I LOVE THEM!! If you travel and want some inspiration the Rose Garden at Point Defiance Park in Tacoma WA is worth the visit, it is amazing!!
I loved Chopped and Soared in Wing Things.
Usually make lap or baby blankets (as babies are popping in the family).
Love the colors as purple is my favorite color and the happy yellow and oranges go so well with it!!
Beautiful colors and design! I make all sizes queen down. I’m partial to sizes I can easily quilt.
I love this fabric! It reminds me of crocuses. My favorite size quilt to make is a lap quilt.
Such beautiful colors!
My favorite size to make is a couch throw.
One of the best classes I’ve ever taken and I love Kate Colleran fabric designs, fabulous colors. My most favorite size is lap and smaller as I like to finish my own quilts and do so on my domestic. I would love to win the fat quarter give away.
Red and orange and purple! Batik! You can’t go wrong! I have never made a quilt out of batik! I am 71 and can’t afford the costs! Love love these colors! I make 3 yard quilt, table runners, twin size quilts and queen size if I have the fabric. Thank you for offering the fabric as a win! I hope I win?
Kate! I love the colors of this line. I have a soft spot for purples.
Right now, I’m enjoying making lap size quilts. I’m having a ball using selvages and my accumulated stash. I love the challenge of making beauty out of ashes, so to speak. I’m also embracing bed runners. Perfect for the warmer months when you still want a pop of color on the bed.
Beautiful collection! I’ve made all of the sizes you mentioned and have loved them all. It’s like trying to pick my favorite child, can’t do it!
I definitely like Soar with the dark purple background the best. I make bed size quilts for family & baby quilts for my church to take to our local hospital’s maternity ward. They give a handmade blanket to every newborn. They get quilts, fleece, afghans, etc.
Your colors are beautiful! I make mostly bed size quilts, queen,
Your FQ fabrics are lovely. I have made all sizes of quilts – it’s hard to pick a favorite size although quilting smaller sizes is easier using a domestic sewing machine.
I love your fabric. The combination of orange and purple is great. I make mostly baby quilts or lap quilts. I am working on a pastel queen size quilt for my Great Neice right now.
Love ❤️ 😍 💖 Nightfall. Purple is my favorite color. I’m just starting out, reading a lot of blogs, articles and watching lots of YouTube videos. I’d like to make individual blocks, frame separately and hang them as a gallery, so I’m collecting lots of patterns. Choosing blocks to make will be the hard part.
I like a queen size usually as it fits most of the beds in our house, but occasionally I make a king.
Love this grouping, colors are beautiful! I like making lap size quilts, more manageable. But queen size are more usable!
I mostly make lap quilts, but with the birth of a grandson, baby quilts are a new quick pleasure. Love the fabric, favourite quilt is the Nightshades.
I make mostly quilts for charity so welcome any “donated” or gifted fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win!
I usually make queen and king-size quilts, as those are the size of beds of my of my family. However, I prefer to make twin size as they go much quicker, and I can start a new one sooner. I have quilts that my great grandmother made that I cherish and hope that my family members will love the quilts I have made for them.
I make them all, but lap is my favorite. I love the fabric.
Right now, I am making a table runner with your Breakout pattern! Really love that pattern! I hope to make a queen size with that pattern one of these days.
Love your new batiks—I’m very fond of winged things!
I am new to quilting but I love to make runners or lap quilts
Love the batiks. Met you in Denver this January. Had fun at your workshop.
I usually make bed size quilts. Your fabrics are beautiful!
Beautiful colors in this collection! I love making a good sized throw – to wrap up in. Just like I love Cuddle for backing.
I love to make lap size quilts.
Love the colors. I prefer lap size quilts.
This is a Party in a Bundle….Confetti falling down….Beautiful!!! Batiks are my fav to quilt with and this bundle is really the most Beautiful.
Lovely colors. I am trying to not take on as many big projects anymore so more likely to to do throw size or smaller.
I love all the quilts you’ve made with your Winged Things batiks, but Lark is particularly adorable. It’s hard for me to choose a favorite quilt size – it all depends on the occasion and time available.
I like to make baby quilts and queen sized quilts! I have started a king sized quilt but haven”t finished the quilt top yet. The batik colors are gorgeous! I wish I could be on the cruise next month and learn how to make the Sparks quilt!.
I like making everything, lap, baby quilts, any size bed quilts and table runners. I thing I just love sewing and giving them to anyone that might need them. Gives me great pleasure.
I like making throw size quilts so far, but making my first king size quilt now and enjoying it! Beautiful colors in the fat quarter.
i love the name “Winged Things!” And the fabric and your quilts are gorgeous! I usually make quilted bags and purses. I’ve also made a few twin size quilts. Thanks for offering this beautiful and generous giveaway!
The fabrics are great! I like making sofa sized quilts to rotate with the seasons.
Beautiful colors just in time for spring. Prefer throw quilts 60-80”.
What a beautiful fabric line. I’d make the sparkle quilt with it.
For family and friends I prefer queen size. For charity quilts, throw or twin size, although I do make a lot of NICU quilts that are smaller.
Kate, this fabric collection is gorgeous! What a thrill it must be to create with this!
I like to make crib size, lap size and table runner size quilts. They are all so much fun and manageable for me.
Beautiful colors in your new line! I love making table runners, but a lap quilt for spring would be perfect with this bundle!!
What a beautiful fabric collection! My favourite size quilt to make it a throw size, about 50” x 70”.
The fabrics are gorgeous! I love how they look in the Chopped quilt. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the fabric! I like to make table runners and baby quilts.
I like making larger lap quilts. The fabric is gorgeous! ❤️
I usually make baby and twin sized quilts. Winged Things would be perfect for any quilt! The colors and designs are simply gorgeous!.
These fabrics are so cheerful. Perfect for a gloomy winters project
Thank you for the opportunity to enter the drawing for a free FQ bundle
Gorgeous colors! I am addicted to Batiks 🙂
I like to mix up easy projects (table runners/placemats) with the larger quilts. I also have a longarm so it’s not the size, it’s the time it takes to make one.
This fabric line is amazing. The color palette will be so versatile in so many different patterns and layouts. Love making throw size quilts and would love to make one with this fabric.
Thank you for this collection Kate. I was looking for the right fabric and the exact colors in this collection. I need to make 3 quilts for my 56 yr old niece’s 2 children and for her sister. The butterflies and the Lark pattern are it. She died recently from metastatic breast cancer. Her favorite colors were lavender and yellow. Making these quilts with the Lark pattern and these fabric will be the most loving gift I could ever give. Thank you.
I prefer making small throws or those that fit atop a twin-size bed. I would love a machine with a larger throat to allow for larger quilts. I haven’t found a favorite pattern yet, but I love experimenting with new ideas. I’m looking forward to new fabric colors & designs. Batiks are a favorite. 🙂
I love the purple and oranges together. You always come up with fun designs for your collections.
I like to make bed-sized quilts or ones that cover people lying in bed (I am 5′ 10″ for reference).
I really like the darkish purple backround on one of your BOM–I am going to have to try a dark purple backround
BTW. beautiful fabric
Love the colors in this line!
Beautiful batiks! My favorite size of quilt is wall hanging and table runner because I can quilt them myself
I love to make queen size, they seem like, just the right size for most people. But I did do alot of throw quilts for the grandkids this last year.
Thank you for the chance to enter your giveaway!! Lap size quilts are my favorite go to and I make them completely by hand, no sewing machine used at all. I have done all my quilts this way for over 20 years and I really love making my quilts totally by hand. I may love lap size quilts the most, but I’m currently working on 4 full size and 1 king size. Again, thank you for the chance. I really love the colors of the new batik line.
Hi Kate, thank you for the chance to win the fat quarter bundle of your beautiful new fabric line. I like to make lap sized quilts so I can quilt them on my sewing machine.
I just love this new line, it screams spring for sure along with Easter decor, I am trying to focus more on wall hangings and table toppers this year, For a change of pace as well as wanting to play catch up on quilting some of quilt tops, I just love the butterfly fabric and how you put them into a quilt, I would love to try my hand at using the fabrics to make a wall hanging, and matching table topper,
You always design bright and cheery colors,
LOVE the colors!! I enjoy baby/ lap size quilts. Big enough to see the pattern, small enough to finish and try the next ‘must do’ pattern.
The fabrics are beautiful! I prefer bed size quilts.
I’m fairly new to sewing/quilting and I have taught myself with the help of many videos and tuturials. I have learned a lot along the way!! Mostly…what Not to do. I am currently working on a Mystery Quilt and, while challenging, it is fun! Can’t wait to see the finished product! I love the Winged Things fabric and enjoy making queen size quilts to gift to family members. Your fabric will make a beautiful quilt!
I usually like to make bed quilts, but I have recently fallen in love with making quilted bags. I love the combination of purple and orange.
I like to make wall hanging sized quilts. I have a wall space dedicated to quilts which I trade every month. Your fabric is beautiful – purple is my favorite color!
I like throw size quilts. They’re easier to manage and quicker to make so I can move on to the next quilt! 😊
Love this fabric and the lovely reminder that winter won’t last forever!!!!!!! No snow, just that bone chilling cold that require soup, and quilts! The local geese are back on the pond, walking on the ice! Can’t imagine how cold their tiny feet are!
Thanks
The colors in this collection are beautiful. I love to make lap quilts and table runners, but I do need to make a few more bec quilts for our cabin.
Fabric is gorgeous! I usually make bed size quilts……although lap size is usually quicker.
I love to make lap quilts!
I love these prints. In my favorite color palette. I make bed size quilts. My goal is to make all my children and grandchildren a quilt.
I like making table runners and am venturing out to lap quilts
Your new line is gorgeous. Great job! I like to make lap quilts because they are the easiest size for me to handle on my domestic machine.
These colors are so beautiful – and I would make a lovely lap or throw quilt with this line! It reminds me that spring is coming!
I like to make lap quilts. I also enjoy using boutiques because it doesn’t matter which side you use!
Cutting out fabric this weekend to make the “Tote That” bag. I love the design. Making it with the same fabrics as shown in the picture. I love making the braid!
I love your fabric choices . And your web site is always very helpful and inspiring
Thank you for all you do.
The colors in your new fabric line are beautiful and definitely play well together as is seen in all the different quilts you made with the line. I prefer to make either lap size or crib size quilts. I have made larger quilts, but I prefer to see a finished quilt top faster. The smaller size lends itself to that goal.
I like to make lap quilts. Your fabrics are beautiful!
Love the colors of the new line. I like making lap size and bed size quilts.
These days I make mostly lap quilts, so I can FINISH them! Also baby quilts, as we have a new grand baby due in April!
Your fabric collection is just beautiful, perfect for spring and summer quilts. Thanks for sharing your designs and the giveaway.
I love making lap quilts! Batiks are always a favorite print and can be used in so many ways. I love the colors of your new selection. Great selection for beginning quilters like me.
I love to make lap quilts and table runners. I love the colors in all your lines of fabric. They’re gorgeous! Makes me want to add to my UFO list, lol.
Wall quilts and baby quilts are my favorite sizes to make. I’m a slow piecer and big quilts feel overwhelming.
I love your new batik collection. The colors are vibrant and energizing!! Thanks for the chance to participate in the giveaway.
Absolutely love your colors and patterns! They are so vibrant and happy—they actually inspire me to quilt. I enjoy sewing smaller projects like baby quilts, table runners, and placemats. This gives me the opportunity to use more of your fabrics on more projects! Thanks so much for sharing your creative talents!😊
Lap quilt. Love the colors.
What a beautiful line of fabric!
My most common quilt projects are large throws, about 60×80, which fit the suggested size guidelines for Quilts of Valor. I also enjoy making any other size that a family member or friend would enjoy. As long as I can make a quilt someone will enjoy, I’m happy. : )
The colors are beautiful! I make all sizes but lap size is my favorite.
I prefer to make lap size quilts. They are a great size to try out a pattern to see if I like it well enough to make another and I can see the results quicker than with bigger quilts!
Such a nice informative website. Love the color choices. My favorites are queen to lap quilts. Happy valentines!
I am an 85 year old (almost) advid quilter and this is the first time I have seen your blog. I’m impressed with the quilt patterns and your use of colors. Batiks are my favorite and I buy them every chance I get. I lean toward blues to purples, but love all colorful combinations.
Great fabrics! Love the quilts – lots of variety! I love making queen size quilts (mine are square so there is no argument when making the bed!)
The joy is in the making so “size doesn’t matter.” If the project is enjoyable it doesn’t matter what it is.
What glorious colors.. I love making quilts of ant size depending on my mood, inspiration or if the quilt is for a special person like any of my three grandkids
I love to make donation quilts, so slightly bigger than lap quilts. Your fabrics are gorgeous and the colors unique!
Love the Lark quilt. Who doesn’t love butterflies? Beautiful colors/patterns in your new fabrics.
Making lap to twin size quilts are my favorites to make. Love your new fabrics. The colors are so cherry!!
Batiks have become so pretty and I love how lovely these are. Patterns from you are easy to follow, even if complicated. thank you for your talents
The size I most enjoy is typically called a “mini” or “wall” quilt. Often 48″ square or less, although I’ve done some that went over that size. I’m happy to make a throw size if someone wants one, but I’m burned out on bed size quilts at this point.
Your quilts are beautiful. Love the colors.
Love the colors in this collection! I like to make lap size quilts and give them to my “Navy grandchildren”. Since I have no grands of my own, yet, I call the grandchildren of my Navy bff mine. She has 10 grands and I have gifted 4 of them quilts and have another completed, with 2 more in the works. This FQB would make a wonderful quilt for the 13yr old dancer!
Love the new line. I like to make throw size quilts
I usually go for a large lap size, something for the couch. If I do make a bed size it probably is from a long coveted fabric or pattern that is calling to me. Love this fabric and the Soar pattern, both light and dark. Never tire of sewing with batiks!
Your batik collection is beautiful..
I tend to make large throw to bed size quilts. And I quilt them all on my domestic machine.
I have made all the large (Queen and King) sized quilts for my family and myself. Now, I pretty much stay with wall hangings and bed runners.
The biggest quilt I can handle these days is a lap quilt. I do like to make table runners too. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
Love the fabrics in this line. I even picked out a pattern that I’ll use when incorporating these fabrics!
So excited as I just received a call that my first quilt is finished and ready to be picked up at the longarm shop. The top has been done for about 10 years, but I needed encouragement and instructions on what to do next. I was at the point of getting rid of all my quilting fabrics, tools, accessories and a nice machine when a long time friend showed me next steps and got me going in the right direction. So glad we had time together as she renewed my excitement for quilting. The best part is knowing that when I pick up the first quilt, I’ll be dropping off my second one to be completed.
I love batiks! And the colors and patterns in you’re new line are bright and lively. They make me happy…lol. I like your quilt C hopped and can sewer myself making it. Thanks
Love the colors of you new collection. I am vacationing on the beach in FL and the colors seem to fit my mood today!
I’m all about big bed quilts and batiks. Your new line is so sweet! It’s so much more delicate than most of the batiks I have been working with. It just screams “Spring!” to me.
Fabulous line; the colors are beautiful and happy. I like to make lap & bed quilts, but make a lot of place mats, table runners & table toppers for quick gratification. I’ve just starting making mug rugs.
Beautiful color choices
I really enjoy making lap quilts and table runners. I don’t have a need to make anything much larger. The colors you use in the fat quarter bundle are right up my alley!
I prefer to make lap quilts. Love this fabric and these patterns. Score!
Beautiful line of fabric and Batiks are the BEST! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
What beautiful fabric! I love making lapsize quilts and wall hangings and will soon be moving into a new townhouse so I have a whole bunch of decorating projects on my radar!
What a beautiful fabric line! I was at the Denver Botanical Garden 2 summers ago. It was in full bloom and just lovely. Love all the variety with the quilt designs. I like to make Lap and bed size quilts as I find them most functional.
I love the colors . They truly look like spring. I’ve also enjoyed getting several of your patterns to try. Wish I could have signed up for the cruise.
These fabrics are so gorgeous! I like making lap/throw quilts because of ease and versatility.
I love the color palette for Winged Things. I have been making lap quilts lately.
For myself, I love making lap quilts and gifting them to relatives. I also like making isolates for our local hospital NICU units. They are treasured by the parents of these small precious babies, and that is more than enough reason to make several every month.
Just love these colors. I make a lot of lap size quilts for my guild’s community service. This fabric would certainly make someone smile.
Hi, I love the new batik line- Winged Things. I like making all sizes of quilts , but Throw/Lap size is the most common size for me.
I LOVE batiks and your colors are inspired. Personally I would prefer making wall hanging sized quilts, but somehow or other I constantly go bigger. I told my husband we need a new house with bigger walls. So far no luck.
I love batiks! My go to size quilt is queen, but lap quilts are so much easier to work with. I just love creating ❤️
Beautiful quilts! I can’t help myself but I always make large size quilts!
Thank you for all you do!
Love the batik colors, so ready for spring.
I like to make lapsize or smaller quilts, but it seems that the past two years my quilts keep getting larger, like 95″x95″! I can quilt the smaller ones myself, but those larger ones are definitely going to e sent off to a long arm quilting expert.
So I guess I have to say, with piecing, any size will do.
Gorgeous fabrics… batiks are my favourite! I would make two baby quilts… our family is growing!
Lovely colorr and designs. I like to make table runners for my newly married daughter.
These are GORGEOUS! I usually make baby or throw quilts. I’ve kept my eyes open for a pattern to make for our king size bed to do quilt as you go. Your first quilt has caught my heart!
That is my favorite shade of purple!!! Absolutely beautiful!! And I love the patterns Soar and Sparks!! I’m going to have to get them!!!
Oh my – the bee FMQ – LOVE it. Butterflies too – my fav creature
Gorgeous fabrics!! I like to make throw size quilts. They are perfect for snuggling on the couch.
I love these fabrics! I make mostly lap size and baby quilts.
What a wonderful collection!. The quilts you created with the collections are inspiring , especially this time of year. Made me think and feel spring is in the air. Simple gorgeous!
Fabric is gorgeous! I like to make lap size quilts and table runners/toppers. Both of these sizes are great for gifts
Love those colors! Would make a beautiful something for Easter.
Oh, I forgot to mention that since I’m somewhat of a beginner, I’m only tackling wall hangings right now so I don’t get discouraged! 😊
Really lovely design and colors in your new fabric line. I’m a gardener and I love the prints! I especially love the bee and the flower quilting that was done on the quilt!! Lap quilts are my favorite to make.
LOVE, LOVE,LOVE!!!
I prefer to make lap quilts but also larger quilts….and table runners…..size depends on who it is intended for…..
I’ve never really been a fan of Batiks, but you have changed my mind. These colors are beautiful and I love the way the fat quarters are folded in the bundle!! It’s always the little things! 🤗
I am now moving more to wall hangings, table runners, baby quilts and less larger quilts.
I love the colors – my favorite size quilt is a queen or king.
Beautiful fabrics and designs!! I love a large quilt, but I should probably start setting my sights of lap quilts so that I can do MORE! I enjoyed reading your blog and seeing your designs!!
I love making large lap quilts which I donate to Scottish Rite hospital for kids, to be given to kids post-surgery & twins for girls who are out of foster care but have not yet gotten into their feet and are in interim housing. I have given my kids & family more than they know what to do with! I just love creating with fabric
I donate lap quilts to Project Linus. Your new fabric line is beautiful.
I love these fabrics, so cheerful! I like to make any size, from small table toppers to extra large king size bed quilts.
It would be a joy to win and work with these fabrics.
I like making baby quilts for the local NICU. Can you imagine how Winged Things would brighten up that space!!
These fabrics are stunning. Would make a beautiful wall hanging.
The colors of your new fabrics are beautiful! I love all parts of the quilting process and have done placemats up to king-size quilts on my longarm. It’s so fun, creative and relaxing!!
I tend to make larger throws and queen size quilts.
Love to make lap quilts and table runners. What a fun summer runner this line would make! I love to mix batiks and solids.
Mostly throw quilts when I sew for myself, but have started a group at church and we make lap quilts for those in nursing homes, hospitals, and home bound. Batiks are my favorite, love the colors and movement within the fabircs.
Even tho we are having an easy winter, the colors are a bright spot in the long days.
Your fabric is beautiful. I am working towards larger quilts. I have made a couple of twin size. I have a kit for a queen size, and I want to make a king size at some point for my son and daughter-in-law!
I used to love making bed quilts but because I’m working on quilting my own quilts at home and have run out of people to give those to….now lap quilts are my favorite size. Everyone seems to need and love those and they are fun to share .. They are easier to finish timewise and my hope is they will be my opportunity to donate for charity quilts!
I love to make table runners and lap quilts. !
Wow – those colors are beautiful! They remind me of a glorious sunset! These would make a beautiful quilt!
I like to make lap size quilts. I think the oranges in this fat quarter bundle would force me out on my comfort zone.
The fabric line is beautiful! I like to make twin-sized quilts.
The colors! <3 I prefer lap quilts (or just big enough)… but always seem to end up finding the projects that are much larger once done!
I really like that Nightfall colorway. I tend to like throw sized quilts or smaller. Whatever size they are, they have to be square because I hate struggling to find the Top/Bottom edge.
I enjoy making throw size quilts. They are perfect gifts for people and easy to quilt on my home machine.
PURPLE… It can’t get better than that!! Love your Nightfall version. I usually like to make lap size quilts. However, I do see Nightfall in my future.
I love making throw size quilts. I love the pairing of the purple and the orange.
Your fabrics are simply lovely. I am a new quilter; so far I have made bed size quilts,
I like making all of the above. I would also like to say thank you for giving a direct link to your blog from the email. I have a hard time finding some blog sites. I guess I am no very smart. This is a beautiful line of Batiks.
Your Winged Things line of fabric is beautiful. I love it in the Lark pattern in a lap size. Soar is beautiful. It would be a fun block of the month in the larger size. All beautiful.
I love to applique and I make the lap size quilts with a sleeve so my children and grandchildren can hang them on their walls after I have enjoyed them for a spell … they make wonderful gifts!!! I love to work with batiks and with wool!!!!
I love the colors of your new collection.
Throw size quilts are my favorite. I think it’s because the size is manageable for me!
Love the color combos and the purple. I want to try a butterfly quilt as a wall hanging and the strip quilt as a lap quilt!
Those are beautiful fabrics. Perfect colors!!
Beautiful Batiks! Prefer batiks over traditional quilting fabrics, always. Winged Things really make your quilt designs pop! Can’t wait to try them out!
Love the fat quarters. My favourite quilt to make usually involves small blocks
Such beautiful fabrics! I love your Nightfall quilt, the dark really makes the lights pop. I like to make bed size quilts or 80 x 80 to hang on my huge living room custom made oak wall quilt rack. I would love to win either bundle. Thank you!
I was looking for a butterfly pattern and yours popped up. I love bedside quilts. Thanks for all your great photos and info.

Love the colors!
Love your fabrics! Looking forward to seeing you on the cruise next month! I like making lap/throw sized quilts.
I love the winged things batiks. I love making table runners and lap quilts. I enjoy doing machine embroidery.
I find myself making a lot of lap quilts lately. They make great gifts. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I do enjoy making table runners and smaller quilts. However, I want to make more bed quilts because I love to have a quilt on my bed to sleep under. I would like to make this Lark quilt. The butterflies are just so cute!
The colors in this line reminds me that Spring is just around corner! It had me thinking of tulips even before I saw your inspiration. I enjoy making larger lap quilts and bed quilts.
Love the colors and the quilts. I make baby and twin sizes mostly, with a few queen and lap thrown in!
I’m amazed at all the ways you used the fabrics. I like doing wall hangings and changing them with the seasons or when the mood hits me!
The colors in this fabric line are beautiful! I enjoy doing lap/crib sized quilts. I work with a group of ladies that make the smaller sized quilts (crib-twin ) that we donate to charity.
Love this new line of batiks. Also love the quilts you designed, especially Chopped. The look of coordinated scrappy appeals to me lately. I’m still working on Sisterhood and am totally taken by the color pallette.
I love Batik fabrics! Such beautiful colors and possible projects!
Hi Kate! I do love this new line! The colors are fabulous and unusual. They spark my imagination. I don’t think I have a preferred size quilt. I tend to make either baby quilts or bed quilts, both ends of the size spectrum. That’s because my grandchildren are either going off to college or getting married and having babies.
I really like making any size quilt but practically it is better for me and for gifting to make lap size quilts. I love batiks and used to (back in the 70’s make some on my own.
Your quilts are beautiful. And I love the bundle your giving away
Very pretty collection of fabrics. I love the way you folded the bundle! Lap and bed size are my favorites.
Beautiful fabrics! I make twin sized and up. Twin size for couch cuddling and queen or king for my bed.
love the colors in this fabric
Your work is so awesome! Thank you for sharing! I love making baby and lap quilts and some table runners! Thank you again! have a great week!
Calm and beautiful colors will make wonderful kitties and butterflies.
This fabric is beautiful. Perfect for the baby quilt I am planning for my great niece.
I generally make lap size quilts, but I love these colors so much I would like to make a big quilt for myself!
I love this color line and especially your LARK quilt. I would love to make that in a crib size quilt to hang on the wall. I’m learning appliaue and love butterflies. We have a huge butterfly garden. Thanks so much for you inspiration and generosity!
What Beautiful fabrics, I can think of a million ideas for the bundle., can’t you!
Who doesn’t love batiks?! Your work is beautiful!
I make many different sized quilts but lately seem to be leaning more to the lap size quilts – these are gorgeous fabrics. Thank you for sharing.
I like to make lap size quilts. Thanks for the chance ti win these gorgeous quilts.
These fabrics are gorgeous! My favorite size of quilt to make is a crib or lap, mostly because they’re great for gifts.
I like to make throws and twin.
Your fabrics are very striking.
The fabrics are beautiful. I like to make a variety of sizes but a larger quilt size is best to curl up in to read, watch TV or nap in.
What lovely colors and fabric. I enjoyed reading how the botanical gardens was your inspiration. And I love several of your patterns. I wish I had time for a BOM as Soar really is calling to me. I make a variety of sizes, but most are lap sized or toddler sized (~50 x 60) so they can grow with a kiddo for several years.
This fabric line is absolutely gorgeous! I like to make quilts for family members and friends!
I can see this line of fabric “hugging” several friends. Thanks for the ideas and gorgeous fabric!
I like to piece large quilts, sizes twin, full/queen and King. Now I just need to learn to actually quilt my tops.
Lovely colors that are bright and cheery, springy. I prefer bed quilts and give most away
I love to make twin size quilts, big enough for a cozy throw as well as a complimentary quilt for larger size beds.
I am relatively new to quilting so smaller baby and lap sized quilts for now until I get more experience!
I would love to try something new with these pretty prints!
Love the butterfly quilt Lark and your new line beautiful
Love this line of fabric and can’t wait to see the new one next month.
You have such beautiful colors in this fabric line. So bright and cheery!
Great colors!! I make a lot of lap size quilts and donate them to charities!
Love the Chopped quilt. And the fabric line is beautiful! Lap quilts are my go to size.
I usually make lap quilts because that’s what I have time for! Also table runners. They’re great sizes for gifting too. This is a beautiful collection. Purple and orange are a wonderful combination.
I generally enjoy making 70 by 85 ish – good for couch throw.
This fabric is beautiful. I have gone to doing smaller quilts, lap, baby, that way I can quilt them myself.
Looking forward to working with these fabrics!
Beautiful collection of fabrics! I think anything made with them will be lovely, whether modern, traditional or in between.
My favorite size are lap quilts, but I also love wall hangings and table runners.
This is a beautiful line of fabric!
Love your quilts. I made the Tiger Lily pattern and it is always on my bed.
Beautiful new fabric line.
I like smaller projects because they are quicker to complete.
Love your beautiful fabrics!
These batics are beautiful. I like making bed quilts, but I have to send them out to be quilted, so I need to make smaller quilts and quilt them myself.
My favorite quilt size to make is crib/child size quilts. Lovely fabric line and perfect pattern to showcase them.
This fabric is perfect for the Lark quilt. I usually do lap size quilts as that is the size I can manage in my small sewing space. I love the combo of the purple and orange in the fabrics!
Love the colors and the butterfly. Usually make twin size quilts so everyone has their own in bed.
I usually make larger throw size .
The fabrics are beautiful.
Lap and baby quilts . I love the colors. Thank you for a chance to win
I mostly like to sew lap size quilts, with table runners in between – for almost instant gratification. I give a lot of the quilts away, but have a closet full of table runners. It is fun to change them with the changing seasons. Love your new fabrics and can’t wait to see the ones on the way.
These colors are beautiful. I like making items Lap size and smaller. As I get older I find larger sizes are more difficult to work with.
Oh, those colors are stunning! Mostly I make baby or lap size quilts.
I love the new fabric line, reminds me of spring. I usually end up making throw quilts or larger. Just returned from a retreat in Moab, Utah and many ladies made your quilt.
I like to make quilts that are throw size. Great for keeping warm on a cold night while reading or watching tv.
Stunning work! I love how the colors move throughout your pieces…
Very pretty!
This is another lovely fabric line, Kate! And I can’t wait to make Chopped. What a great pattern!
It’s hard for me to choose a favorite size! I make a lot of lap quilts and also baby quilts and tablerunners. Many of them are gifts and I find that all of those sizes can make wonderful gifts. Your new fabrics are beautiful, thanks for the chance to win and for the inspiration to make pretty things!
Lap quilts for adults and children. Love your new line. The purple is such a cheerful color.
My favorite sizes are large lap/small bed quilts or table runners. Both seem useful and both are “doable”. I mean, baby quilts and kennel quilts, too, but those are in a different category altogether for me–necessary gifts of love, is that a thing?
Your fabric is so pretty. My favorite quilts to make are big bed size.
I like making lap quilts and table runners. Winged Things is a beautiful collection and I can just picture it being used in a cheery kitchen/dining set or a summery garden quilt.
Most of my quilts end up baby sized or lap quilt, though I have a long arm and can easily quilt a large quilt, but I tend to donate or give away a lot of the quilts, so a small size is good.
My favorite size is lap because they make perfect gifts or to display on the quilt ladder. The FQ are beautiful in the chopped quilt!!
I’ve never made a quilt, and I’m trying to decide on a good pattern for a starter quilt. I like the idea of larger quilts but it seems rather intimidating.
I’m all about the throw size, between 65-75” they’re not the most practical size, but anything larger is difficult to quit and anything smaller doesn’t feel like I got to play with the fabric enough 🤣
These colors are beautiful! I like to make lapsize quilts.
Orange is my favorite color and love the pairing with purple. Lap size is my comfort zone although I have made larger sizes. Table runner and placemat sizes for dogs and cats are fun. I admire your designs and am waiting for the opportunity to use one of your templates. Finding the time for all is the challenge!
I love color! I make all size quilts but usually end up making queen and kings!
I love the orange and purple color and the Soar in Winged Things pattern, especially Daylight is my favorite. I usually use purple and green or purple and red combinations so this inspires me to use purple and orange!
Absolutely beautiful, these are the colors that my 35 yr old niece diagnosed with colon cancer requested.
