If you haven't been here before, welcome to my blog! I'm Michelle. I love making quilts, the more different fabrics and pieces, the better. When I'm not quilting or knitting or getting excited about some other kind of needlework, I'm spending time with my husband and our four homeschooled kids. We've got chickens, geese, bees, and cats. We all love to search thrift stores and antique malls and antique sales for vintage treasures.
Now back to 30s Barn Raising, the whole reason you're here today! This is a slightly different quilt for me, using only ten different fabrics. It does have 900 pieces, and that definitely makes it my kind of quilt.
One Jelly Roll, a bit of backing fabric, and you've got yourself a quilt top. The whole thing is made up of squares and a few strips of background fabric, which makes it perfect for mindless piecing when you just want to sew without thinking about it too hard.
Want to make 30s Barn Raising in the same fabrics I used? The Fat Quarter Shop is going to give one of my readers a 30s Solids Jelly Roll and two yards of your choice for the background fabric. That's enough to make the whole quilt top!

What a happy quilt! Have just stumbled upon your blog and have enjoyed looking at your postings. Would love a chance to win similar fabrics.
Oh I would use a black background!! The colors would just "pop" off the quilt

This is a beautiful quilt! I love the colors and the offset pattern. So simple, yet looks somewhat complex. Will be following along now that I've found your site!
So pretty! I love it. Thanks :)
Beautiful quilt and colors! Visiting from Manic Monday and now following.
This is a great quilt! Wonderful give away:0)
Hi Michelle: This is a lovely quilt. I like your off-center arrangement of the blocks. It adds an element that captures my interest. Congratulations on having your quilt on the Moda Bake-shop!

Love the quilt - it's so beautifully classic! I'm so hoping I win the give-away - I would probably use the fabric to make this stunning quilt because it reminds me of my Gram!
What a great quilt pattern! Perfect to work on during these snowy...uh make that rainy...days of winter. A little aside comment off topic, but I love your post about piecing 15 mins a day! I'll have to try that this year. It's still early :)
That is beautiful! I bet it took forever (but I'd be willing to take forever to make it if I won the fabric :) )
