Out of all the quilts in this entry I believe this "Strawberries and champagne" quilt is my very favourite one (I kind of regret I let it move on...)
The "Gipsy" quilt was made out of various scraps from my fabric stash, and not a single new one was purchased. My favourite colours ;-)
The nine-patch block is my favourite way of making a quilt, and quite a few of them in this entry are indeed nine-patch quilts. This "Christmas quilt" is a good example, even though red is not a colour I use frequently (I do not mind it in small doses, though...) But I quite like the way it works here with all the white.
"Sweet like candy" is one of the very first quilts I made after having started this blog. It is another nine-patch one, all pretty pastels. A quilt I still remember fondly.
The "Tea towel quilt" is rather different from the others, as it is made entirely out of tea towels collected on my travels. The ones with the writing are from Williams-Sonoma in San Francisco ;-) Again, I kind of wish I had not let this one go...
"Lace and roses" is another nine-patch one. All pretty roses, white linen... and lace. You may notice that quite a few of my quilts have been finished off with crochet lace. Unfortunately the lace is increasingly hard to come by, and I have not been able to get any for ages.
The "Autumn quilt" is the final one in this entry. All calm and subtle, in whites and natural linens. With a linen coloured crochet lace. I know that most of the quilts in this entry are being used as table cloths, and I believe it is the case with this one too.
I hope you enjoyed the little look back on some of my favourite patchwork makes. Which one would be your favourite?

All of them, but if I had to choose the Autumn quilt would be the one, just two of my favourite colours
They are ALL wonderful. Too hard to choose just one. ;)
De er fantastiske alle sammen, Mia! De er vakre på hvert sitt vis, ganske så forskjellige i uttrykk, og for meg er
det er nesten umulig å fremheve ett bestemt fremfor et annet. Ganske enkelt helt nydelig, og herlige farger og sammensetninger. Forstår godt at du kan savne dem. Så fint å få et gjensyn!

Hello Mia! They are also beautiful but I love the tea towel and the lace and rose quilt! They are real treasures! Have a nice weekend! With love, Geli
Alle er så vakre at jeg kunne ha tatt over alle sammen! Nyter å se alt det vakre du lager!
These are simple, look extravagant, and I love them! Your work always puts a smile on my face. ~Lynda
I love all of them! but especially the 'Gypsy' quilt. I love reading your blog, you have a wonderful home ;)
I love them all! They are beautiful. x
Quite honestly I couldn't even try to pick just one :)Love them all.
L.x.
Oh gosh, I LOVE them all! I couldn't even pick one. They are all perfect and gorgeous.
The first and the last one, are my favourite !
Men, når det er skrevet, så er alle flotte på hver sin måte, men fargene på den første falt jeg får, og siste, er fargene je ghar mye av i mine hjem i Norge og Italia.
Ang den heklede blondekanten, sånn har jeg sett her nede..(Italia)...men ikke like bred som du har på mange av dine tepper her.
Du får si fra hvis du vil jeg skal kikke for deg :)
God helg - lykke til med nye patchwork prosjekter i 2013 !
Ciao
Of course all of these wonderful quilts are beautiful! It is very difficult to make a choice in favor of one of them... all of them beautiful and interesting in its own way.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank yoyu so much Mia for revisiting your quilts. I cannot choose a favourite as they are ALL, stunning and so beautiful.

"Autumn quilt" , this is my favorite, but all of them are fabulous. You are a real artist. This post was a very beautiful one.
Det første teppet ditt jeg forelsket meg i, var dette lyse med heklekanten rundt.. Nydelig.. Siden har du laget så mange fine tepper at det er umulig å si hvem som er finest. Nydelige alle sammen.. Sommer, nostalgi, romantisk.. Du er så flink. Jeg kommenterte her en dag tidligere at du har inspirert meg veldig.. Jeg har laget mange ting utav ideer fra deg. Takk for inspirasjon du har gitt. God helg.
All ver beautiful, but strawberries and champagne does it for me!!! Lots of snow here today! :) x
Det var ikke lett å velge en favoritt bland alle de fotte teppene. Men jeg er nå veldig glad i blå-farger så da må det nesten bli tea towel quilten.
Ha en strålende kveld
Loved this post!
All of your makes are just gorgeous. You should be very proud of all that you have done throughout the years :) I am very drawn to the colorful quilts and love the Christmas one but if I had to pick just one quilt for my home it would be the Autumn one. I love earthy tones so it would be most at home.

Your quilts are quite gorgeous and I wouldn't be able to chose one over another for my favorite. I love the blues and soft tones that you use. I am drawn to them myself but find myself using bright colors in my crafting for some reason.
Thank you for the beautiful post.
Blessings,
Betsy
They are all so pretty but I think my favorites are the Christmas quilt and the rose quilt... I love that you put the edging on them.
Blessings,

Hi Mia, Let me just say, I really love your style of quilting. Nine patches are a personal favorite. But, my favorite is the Gipsy quilt. I love the striped border. Have a great day Mia. Thanks for reposting all your pretties.
I love them ALL! I imagine how difficult for you to choose one.
Have a nice weekend.
They are all beautiful I'm sure their new owners love them too xxBrenda
Hi Mia,
thanks for this wonderful post. I`m a patchworker myself and your Quilt-pics show me that doing simply nienpatches doesn`t look boring at all! I use a lot of used fabrics, by the way like used clothes, bed sheets etc.
All your quilts look wonderful. As for the lace: it looks like handmade.... but that`s probably something you don`t consider, making it by hand if you can`t find it any more, right?
Another question: did you give most of the quilts away? It sounds like that because sometimes you`re guessing what they are used for right now.
Happy sewing and greetings from Germany,
Heide
Hi Mia,
how wonderful are they all!!! I love your combination of colours, especially the first one is beautiful!!Do you fill them with fleece when you use them as table cloth or not?
Best wishes and I have a nice cosy weekend!
Iris
I too am wondering how you could ever bear to part with such lovelies. All are wonderful, and it is oh-so-difficut to choose a favorite. Were they commissions or labors of love?
Such beautiful quilts!
Vakkert vakkert Mia. En ny farge for etthvert humør. Nydelige tepper og stæsj.

I loooovvvve the Autumn Quilt. So pretty. :-) Lynne (CNY)
All beautiful but I think I like the Strawberries and Chamagne quilt, the Williams & Sonoma quilt and the bottom one with shades of tan and cream.
How do you part with these? Are you giving them away or something?
Hello Mia, such a beautiful review. My favourite would be the 'tea towel quilt', closely followed by the 'strawberries and champagne', but there again, the 'Gypsy quilt' is oh so lovely too! How's a girl to choose?

They're all lovely, Mia - but the first and last are my favourites.
These quilts are all beautiful and are all new to me. It must have been before I discovered your blog. I love nine patches too. Lovely post.
Hei Mia :)
Jeg liker alle dine patcwork tepper <3 Du er sååå flink!! Er en stor inspirasjon også :)
-noen av de så jeg da du var hos oss på Skauen husflidslag i fjor høst.
Ha en fin lørdag!
Klem fra Wenche
Thank you all for your most lovely comments. They are much appreciated ;-)
As for me parting with these quilts... some of them were commissions, some just found new homes after I had finished them. I do love to make quilts, but do not "need" all of them myself, so I am happy for them to find new homes.
De er jo nyyydelige alle sammen!
Men jeg må si at jeg likte best det øverste,det hadde liksom det lille ekstra;)
Ha en fin helg!
Klem Caroline
Dear Mia,
what a lovely post! thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts with us. I had not seen your " gypsy quilt" before, what a lovely one!
You inspire me (and I'm sure many others too) to look into the fabric stash and start cutting little squares again...
To chose my favorite is almost too hard, but I think the pink and lace one...
Best wishes from snow covered Holland!
Nicoline
I love the Tea Towel Quilt!!!
I am partial to everything blue and white. It's lovely Mia!

I love them all - especially the first 3. I just love the way you put colors together.... very inspiring.
I cannot choose one. I love them all. You have such an eye for colors. I also like 9 patch quilts. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed the quilt tour.
All beautiful xx
Åh dina quiltar är ju bara helt underbara, vilka färger!!!:)
Svårt att välja någon favorit......men "teatowel"quilten är helt underbar, jag älskar blått o vitt tillsammans! Även "lace and roses"....gillar även rosa....men dom andra är så otroligt fina också!
Du är bara såååå otroligt duktig att göra quiltar Mia!
Hoppas du har en fin helg!

As lovely as they all are, I am partial to Strawberries and Champagne! Twyla
They are all so lovely how can I choose?
I love your style, all of them...the first photo, ofStrawberries and Champagne, is so lovely and so that is my favorite.
Andrea
Hello Mia,
love them all!! Thank you for all the inspiration, just started a new quilt myself. Just have to sew 324 pieces of fabric together now.
Hugs, Ingrid.
Hello, Mia. All your blankets are beautiful, the harmonies of colors used are also a hallmark and the prolixity with which you make. But missed that my taste is the most beautiful and original, the "Denim Love"-quilt. Greetings from Argentina and congratulations for all your work. Grace
They are all beautiful butIll have to choose the blue and white one since that is my favorite color combination too!
Hi Brotesdeternura!
Thank you for your kind comment, and for missing the "Denim Love" quilt. The reason I did not include it in this entry is that all the quilts in this one have moved on (meaning sold), and are no longer in my possession. While the "Denim Love" quilt definitely is, and is likely to remain so, as it is one of my favourites too!
