March Madness! Nominate your favorites!

It's March! Spring is coming! And it's time for March Madness! And our Fan Favorite Quilt Pattern! 

Whether or not you're a basketball fan, we're guessing that as a quilt lover, this is a bracket you can get into! This year's Fan Favorite Quilt Bracket will again feature free quilt patterns that showcase our newest fabric lines. Use your vote to help your favorite pattern(s) win and advance through the bracket.

Our in-house Selection Committee has chosen 50 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 50 patterns down to 16 to get our bracket started. (Guess what? You can also vote on Pinterest this year!)

Voting is now closed! We'll be posting the 2016 Fan Favorite Quilt Pattern Bracket on Monday, March 14th! 
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 50 patterns are featured on our "Sew Interesting" Group Facebook page, so you may also vote for your three favorites there if you choose (find details on Facebook voting on those pages). 
• You can also vote on our Pinterest board! Simply repin your three favorites.
• Please vote only once per venue (one comment with your three favorites here on the blog, once on our Sew Interesting page, and once on Pinterest).
• The voting is open through Friday, March 11th at 10 am EST. At that point the voting is closed and we'll tally the results and be back here on Monday with the official 2016 Fan Favorite Quilt Bracket, dates and details. 

May your favorite pattern win!
