We had so much fun holding last year's fabric Fan Favorite March Madness that we're doing it again! (See last year's winner here.) This year, however, the bracket will be slightly different--you'll be voting on the free quilt patterns for our various fabric collections rather than just the fabric lines themselves.
Our esteemed internal Selection Committee has chosen 42 free quilt patterns from our website, featuring Benartex, Contempo Studio and Kanvas fabric collections. It's your job, as the quilt-loving voting public, to narrow those 42 patterns down to 16 to get our bracket started.
Here's how it works:
- Look through the quilt patterns featured below
and leave a comment listing your favorite three. Note: You need to list your votes by pattern name (not fabric collection name) as some collections have more than one quilt featured. We've also included links to each pattern so you can download your favorites.
- The same 42 patterns are featured on our Facebook page and on our brand new "Sew Interesting" Group page,
so you may also vote for your three favorites in those spots if you choose (find details on Facebook voting on those pages). Please vote only once per venue (one comment with your three favorites here on the blog, once on our Facebook page and once on our Sew Interesting page).
- The voting is open through Friday, March 14th at noon EST. At that point the voting is closed and we'll tally the results and be back here on Monday with the official 2014 Fan Favorite Quilt Bracket, dates and details.
****THE VOTING IS NOW CLOSED.****
Thanks to all who left a comment! Feel free to continue enjoying the quilts and downloading the patterns for your use, but the voting has ended. We'll be back on Monday with the bracket of 16 selected quilts.
May your favorite pattern win!

AWWWW - I miss the fabric March madness! So many of these patterns , although gorgeous, rely on the fabric and might not translate well to other "looks". Kind of fabric over form, if you will. So, in a way, it's still an emphasis on fabric, I guess. I'll be back next year to see if we're back to voting on various fabrics. Hope so!
ReplyDeleteLove many of these so it was not an easy time picking the top 3 but here they are: It's Electrifying, Midori's Place and Yellow Sky. Melody - mlgriego@email.arizona.edu
