    Julie's patterns look fun and easy, but the thing I love the most is the different secondary patterns that evolve! I'm a scrappy kind of gal and so enjoy seeing the various ways she uses small pieces of fabric.

    Thanks for sharing!

    I love it when there is an option to use from our stash but I love the original theme is Raspberry.

    I love the variety in her patterns. I also think they look just difficult enough to grow my piecing skills, but hopefully, not so frustrating they would end up in my UFO box. LOL

    Julie's patterns can be colorful and the geometric designs allow for modifications so the quilts "become your own"...while being simple enough that beginning quilters can make them. Thanks for the giveaway. All of Julie's new patterns are cute. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com

    I like Julie's patterns because they aren't locked in to one look. They can be anything from vintage to contemporary depending on what you do with them.

    I like that all with the exception of Dance Floor are scrappy. Being the scrappy gal that I am, I'm always looking for patterns to use my "collection". The more opportunity the better! Sandi

    Julie's patterns are easy to make but look complicated. I also like the fact that you can make them scrappy. I like your version of Raspberry Dessert.

    The look of simplicity but yet classy at the same time is what I like about Julie's patterns.
    Love your quilt and the colors it is made from.
    And your quilting was pretty good I thought!

    I love all the beautiful colors Julie always uses in her quilts. I haven't made one of hers yet so I can't speak to them being easy or hard but I've read they are very friendly to use and I'd love to find out myself. She's always so friendly herself so I cannot imagine her making anything but a friendly quilt. :)

    Yes, it sounds fair... I am really loving this pattern and pleased at how the different color selections give different personalities to the quilts. Like that some of you mentioned the quilt wasnt difficult. Also liked the Off The Rail Pattern - though the center block could be used for a nice embroidery. Thanks!

    I like the many different styles of quilts and that some of the quilts are designed for scraps. My favorite pattern is the Hugs & Kisses quilt.

    Julie's patterns are fresh and fun. I see elements of other patterns but she goes off and does her own thing with the designs.

    Your quilt looks great (next post) I'm looking forward to getting my issue.

    I just love the color combination she uses for her quilts and the fact she makes them easier for beginners. I agree with your friend's comment about tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches; comfort food and quilt. bimbi9atverizondotnet
