I wasn’t sure I liked the Ebb Tide pattern, until I saw you version of it. Nice!
Wow your night garden is so pretty…..tyty for sharing your talents with us….
I think I’ve commented, but just in case I didn’t. I think yall did a magnificent job recreating all of the projects! All of them looked wonderful. It was so nice to see your different take on each one, but still see the original pattern shining through. Thanks for considering me for this contest.
Jason_burnside@hotmail.com
Wow. I love that you made all of the quilts and the choices of colors. I love poppies so I think the runner is my favorite. I have started branching out beyond quilting and making bags. I will be checking out your beginner guide to garment making. I have not yet ventured there
What beautiful fabrics and the mockups are awesome – thanks for the inspiration! Love the upcoming fabric collections. My first time on your blog, and there is a lot to explore!
WOW! All five quilts done…amazing.
I love the fabric used in 31….so mysterious and moody.
Awesome examples of all five patterns on the blog hop!!!
My new favorite pattern is Gypsy. Like many I have some leftovers that could so easily be used for this quilt, no matter whose collection is being used!
They are all just great patterns this year.I want to make them all.
maymewyns@yahoo.com
Such beautiful and varied patterns and fabric collections. I love Ebb Tide with the Brushstrokes collection. Simply soothing!
What a great job it must be to see all the new fabric collections before the rest of the world. Thanks for sharing with us. So today being a lazy Saturday for me, Simply Be spoke to me the most. So calming.
I really like the Twinkle quilt pattern. Since I am making table runners and place mats now, I may start out with Clover.
All your quilts are sew pretty. Love seeing all the different colorways. Hard to pick a favorite. I guess I have never seen the panel Night Garden so that would be my favorite pick in the pattern 31.
Gypsy Rose is definitely on my list for several variations! Seeing all the ways its been made in this blog hop shows how versatile it is.
I love all the different fabrics you chose that create a different look with the same pattern. My favorite is Gypsy but really all are a favorite.
I love so many Villa Rosa patterns (I have a vast collection). I have used Seashell a lot for 5” squares.
I love the Clover runner! Great patterns 🥰
I love the fabric choices you used for “31”. I will definitely be looking for that. Thank you for sharing.
I love Twinkle and Gypsy and the table runner lol. Your panel is gorgeous.
Great collections and patterns!
All your fabric lines showcased above are great, but I would make Ebb Tide using Poppies.
Love VRD patterns and have quite a collection of my own. I am thinking 31 in this bundle would be great for a quick Christmas quilt.
I love Glacial Pearl and Night Garden. Blank Quilting is a fabulous company!!
I really like VDR patterns and OMG the material you chose is absolutely gorgeous.
I like ’31’ out of this collection but instead of using a pre-printed panel I would like to attempt using the border around one of the landscapes I create. When I fell down the rabbit hole of all the designs ‘Gathering’ caught my eye as another great possibility.
Your choice of fabrics from the Blank Quilting collections are wonderful. I love, love, love the colors in the “31” quilt! Such a great pattern for dressing up a panel. Thanks for sharing.
Your quilts are all beautiful! Well done!
I love them all, but I am partial to Brushstrokes and the Ebb Tide pattern…so calming.
My favorite here is the Twinkle pattern with the Simply Be fabric.
All the patterns work up so well in these wonderful fabric collections. Thanks for joining the VRD hop!
Thank you for sponsoring the Hop! It’s hard to choose a favorite collection, but I’m drawn to the Merry Poppy line.
Holy cow…So pleased to see all 5 patterns done up in one place. Each is terrific. I am thinking hard about Brushstrokes…I do have the Ebb Tide pattern already. Then again the Glacial Pearl line is fabulous for Gypsy. Me thinks a shopping trip is in order.,
I love the Night Garden fabric line and think it would be perfect for the “31” Quilt. But I am partial to the Twinkle pattern. Guess I have to add them to my ever lengthening “to do” list!!!
Wow, what a vibrant collection showing all the patterns in lovely fabrics. Especially like the ethereal, dreamy version of Ebb Tide.
Twinkle is my favorite pattern.
What beautiful quilts y’all have made! If I had to choose, my favorites are your version of Gypsy and 31. The panel on 31 was simply stunning! Can’t wait until that is available!
Wow you certainly covered a lot. That panel was amazing. Your fabric selections were fantastic.
Keep creating
Love the collection of patterns for this years hop.
Love your light colors on ebb tide and the bold on gypsy! Great use of patterns!
Lovely to see these patterns featured in unique fabrics. My favorite of the patterns is Twinkle.
The panel is stunning!! You picked beautiful collections to feature each of the patterns.
Looking forward to exploring your blog.
Wow the Ebb Tide in Brushstrokes is one low volume dreamy quilt. I need that one. Also what a great fabric panel for the 31 quilt. Such good fabric choices for the blog hop quilts. Love it.
I love the Brush Strokes and Night Garden collections. Thanks for sharing.
I love Shell Rummel fabrics because it brings back memories of the shore! The quilt made with her fabrics just evokes such a peaceful feeling.
All Beautiful examples of each pattern!!!! I’m a huge fan of Villarosa and your Ebb tide creation is Gorgeous!!!
Wow, Great fabric play on all the patterns! Thanks for the inspiration.
I think I will dive into Gypsy and use the scraps I’ve already assembled!
It is so much fun seeing the patterns in different fabric collections!! I love Ebb Tide in the Brushstrokes fabric — beautiful!!
Love your fabric choices
Ebb Tide is my favorite
Nice choices of fabrics utilizing these Villa Rosa patterns. Ebb Tide is so calm and peaceful.
Some beautiful fabric lines you shared! Thanks Jaftex for being a sponsor for this blog hop too!
I really like “31” the best as I like using panels for quick and beautiful quilts that I can use as gifts. Thanks for sharing!!
What a great selection of upcoming fabrics! That Twinkle in Simply Bee is perfect!
I love scrappy quilts and think Twinkle would make a perfect scrap quilt.
Nice to be introduced to you and your work through this Blog Hop.
Great Patterns!
I love, 31 Featuring Night Garden by The Blank Quilting Corporation. Beautiful!
I am a new follower and really like your choice of fabrics for the VRD challenge. Everyone chose different fabrics and the quilts look SO different. What fun!
Wow! What a comtrast of color palettes for your quilts. I love it! Thanks for sharing!
If I have to pick one favourite I would select Twinkle – but – the Clover table runner pattern is great too. Who doesn’t love a quick and easy pattern that is so adaptable for different sizes and occasions?! I see an Easter one in my near future. I guess with the right binding I could make a 2 sided one and just flip between holidays!
I like all the new patterns, but 31 is my favorite.
WOW !!! 5 lovely projects! Thanks for sharing!
love the subdued colors in the first quilt.
I love them all! Thanks for sharing!
I loved the night garden pattern. It is beautiful.
I do love ‘31’ in Night Garden most but all of the quilts are so well represented with the fabric selected. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love that you did all of the patterns. I can’t decide which I like best, but the fabric in Ebb Tide was so amazing!
These are such versatile and great patterns. Thanks for sharing. cmberry@lsu.edu
I love the pattern 31. There are so many ways to use that pattern.
I love villa rosa patterns. For the last two years we have been using villa rosa cards in my quilt group. This year we have challenges using villa rosa cards. I picked out twinkle last fall and am looking forward to making it soon
I cannot wait the Glacial Pearl! I love all of the Jaftex designers. They are my favorite.
Mary Lee
I admire that you did all five patterns in such a wide range of fabric choice.
I love the brushstrokes fabric collection. It is so nice to see the new things that are available.
My favorite is the Ebb Tide pattern made with the Brushstrokes fabric collection. So pretty!
Wow what great fabric collections!
Such fun to see all the different fabrics and colors to make these Villa Rosa designs–makes me want to start one right now!!
barbkaup(at)(yahoo)(dot)(com)
Thanks for sharing all the collections and patterns.
I love Shell Rummel fabrics. Ebb Tide is the perfect quilt to show off her fabrics. Thank you for posting and reminding me.
It is so hard to pick a favorite collection. But I really like Brushstrokes with the Ebb Tide pattern. Yet, I have so many panels in my stash I would say 31 would be my first choice! Ofcourse i love Henry Glass… Oh the choices. I keep my Villa Rosa patterns in a binder in pocket sleeves. Thye are my go to patterns for a fast and fun quilt top. My all time favorite pattern is pointless! Thank you for sharing!
All of the patterns in this hop are great designs, but my favorite is Twinkle! I think I could make a good dent in my scrap bin while sewing up this pattern. Villa Rosa has so many wonderful and easy patterns!
Happy National Quilting Day! Wow, all five are lovely. The Night Garden and Merry Poppies are my favorite collections and Gypsy is my favorite pattern.
I love the colors of Glacer Pearl that you used in Gypsy. Such bright happy colors.
Love the collection in the ebb tide quilt.
Ebb tide is gorgeous.
I love how you described each fabric collection shown in each pattern. Very nice!
I cannot wait to see these new collections.
Ebb Tide and Brushstrokes are a perfect combination! I love that quilt. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos and for sponsoring this fun blog hop!
I love all of these. They’re so pretty with the new collections coming out. I originally like Gypsy but I finally got to see an Ebb Tide example and really love it!
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful quilts.
They are all so pretty, but my favorite is 31.
Great projects, great patterns. I have made several of their patterns and loved them all. From this set Ebb Tide was a favorite.
I really liked the Clover pattern with Merry Poppies. The colors really pop.
I love the first collection, brushstrokes, so elegant
Love the fabric collections and how you used them in the patterns. I am really wanting the gypsy pattern to make some quick donation baby quilts. Night garden was my favorite fabric line.
Great projects!
I think Gypsy will be a quick and easy one for donation quilts.
Wow. Great prizes. I love Villa Rose patterns. They are such fun and I love your quilts. Great selection of colours for the pattern style. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Really like the twinkle pattern and the night garden fabric.

Oh my, Ebb Tide featuring Brushstrokes by Shell Rummel just made me feel calm! Love it!
Love Glacial Pearls fabric, so soothing . Gypsy pattern, an easy pattern to make ” i dont have time” gifts or use for community service projects
I have never worked with a Villa Rosa pattern before but I love how you showcased them in various fabrics. Looking forward to trying!
I like all the patterns — but especially Gypsy.
The night garden panel is stunning, and the flowered arrows add a lot to the 31 pattern!
I love Twinkle but Ebb Tide is growing on me the more I see it made in different fabrics!
Can’t wait for all of this year’s releases. Beautiful! And so quick and easy with a Villa Rosa Design.
Love the softness of the Ebb Tide

Your Ebb Tide is beautiful, I love your fabric choices!!! I can’t wait to play with all of these wonderful patterns!
I love,love,love the fabrics you have in the 31 pattern. it’s outstanding!
31 is fabulous with that panel, and twinkle is also a favorite.
Ebb Tide featuring Brushstrokes is surreal! I’d love to see this collection used with the Twinkle pattern.
You matched my favorite VRD pattern (Gypsy) with my favorite fabric line (Glacial Pearl).
I love Ebb Tide with the soft prints of Brushstrokes.
I LOVE those fabrics! Especially Brushstrokes! Your fabric choices really made the quilts look different! Love it!
Your quilts are lovely! Ebb Tide and Twinkle were my favorites but after visiting all the sites and seeing the dffierent quilts, I like them all.
I especially like what you have done with the Ebb Tide pattern. It’s such a great pattern to feature large scale prints.
I have Gypsy and have pulled some groovy repro 60’s fabric to make it. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
The Ebb Tide is so peaceful in those soft colors. And the table runner is so very vibrant.
My favorite pattern is Gypsy. edgarkevin@sbcglobal.net
Your Ebb Tide mock-up is FABULOUS!!!! So calming.
Beautiful quilt designs, fabric and color choices. Totally Inspirational and I truly love them all, but somehow #31 for a panel just keeps calling out to me to make it asap.
