This is another Bali Pop quilt. It used the new Macaron Bali Pop. The pattern is All Stacked Up by Cindy McCracken. The pattern uses 50 strips and since there is only 40 strips in a bali pop, I had to add in a little extra fabric. The pattern was quick and easy to make up. Last time I showed a quilt Sylvia mentioned that she really likes to see the quilting. So this next picture is for Sylvia.
I kept the quilting simple since the fabrics are so bold. A simple heart shaped leaf in light blue thread compliments the fabrics, without taking over.
This weeks hexagon is one of my favourites. I just love the secondary pattern of the light green around the cup of coffee.
Now for the giveaway!
This week I have four fat quarters of Batiks. To enter let me know if you have ever taken an online class, and if so what it was. I am currently taking a class on using photo shop elements for quilters. So far I am loving it.
Have a great weekend everyone!
I've never taken an online class before. The teacher of the first 'real' quilt class I took disappointed me so much, that I've seldom taken a class since. Love that bali pop quilt you made.

I took an online workshop at Craftsy. It was for a purse made from charm squares.
ReplyDeleteAmazing all around as usual! Love balis. I have never taken an online class. I want to take Angel Walter's on FMQ when i get home from vacation. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI've never taken an online quilting course. I have taken online professional development courses, and taught mathematics and computer science classes using online coursework.
ReplyDeleteI've taken online classes for writing and for OSHA training.
ReplyDeleteI have taken several, including the Photoshop course that (I think) you are taking right now. If it is the same one, I loved it - easy to understand and I learned a LOT! I'm enrolled right now in a Craftsy course on free motion quilting.
ReplyDeleteYeah! Thank you Linda!
ReplyDeleteI have signed up for a craftsy sewing class, but have not yet really taken it, as my sewing machine is currently packed up. But soon I will start it (It is the Sassy Librarian Blouse).
I've never taken an online class; followed a ton of tutorials though! Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am taking online classes from Craftsy. I am currently working on the Stupendous Stitching class. I have also signed up for the Stitch and Slash course. I love craftsy because you can watch the class any time. It is great when I was sick and couldn't go anywhere. It kept me entertained and I didn't go stir crazy. Your quilt is absolutely gorgous. I am going to look up the pattern tonight.
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is fabulous and I love the quilting picture.
ReplyDeleteI have taken online classes in the past - on machine quilting. I do enjoy doing it in my own home.
I have taken a n online Class at Craftsy. It's a free online class.
ReplyDeleteI took an English class online and I regretted it. There was soooo much reading.
ReplyDeleteNever done an online class. That might be too high tech for me ; )
ReplyDeleteNo online class for me. You Tube has good instructions for anything!
ReplyDeleteI have purchased 4 online courses from Craftsy. They are all great as I have unlimited access any time for ever. Great for brushing up and best of all I can do it on my own time. Love the quilt and the Hexi.
ReplyDeleteI have never taken an online class, I do not think I have the aptitude to make sure I actually do the work, I am a great procrastinator, give me a deadline though and I will get it done.
ReplyDeleteI have never taken any online quilting classes, only online CE classes for my RN license. I do use the internet and Google though for looking up quilty/crafty things that I'm unsure of.
ReplyDeleteI've just signed up for an online class at Craftsy on art quilting!
ReplyDeleteYour Bali Pop quilt is gorgeous. I love it. No, I have never taken any online quilting classes. That's not say that I never would though.
ReplyDeleteI've never taken any kind of online class, but I've been thinking about it. I think it would be hard not to be distracted.
ReplyDeleteI have not taken an online class. Good for you for trying one. I hope it turns out fine for you. Love your fabric give away. Thanks
ReplyDeleteNo our son and fam used to live in your city but they are currently in Alberta. Having fun with grandbabies. One week left.
ReplyDeleteD
No online courses but will never say never. Love the Bali Quilt !!! N
ReplyDeleteI took a math class online while I was getting my degree. I prefer to go in, but I think it would be fun to take a sewing/creative class online :)
ReplyDeletenever taken one can't afford it when you are retired thanks for the giveaway
ReplyDeleteNo I have never taken an online class. Linda - where do you find the time to do everything that you do? Do you sleep?
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt! I've been tempted to take some online classes but it seems that every class = one more UFO.
ReplyDeleteI took an online/correspondence course in medical coding and billing, but decided before I finished it that it was the wrong career for me. I did learn a lot about anatomy and medical terminology, however, so it wasn't a complete waste of time and money.
ReplyDeleteI've never taken any quilting classes -- online or otherwise. Since most of what's out there is aimed at machine piecers and I do everything by hand, I don't think that I'd get much out of a class.
I took a tea dyeing class on-line. I am not sure I would do it again as it was hard having to wait for answers to questions. Also, one the parts I enjoy the most about classes is interacting with other quilters and seeing how everyone else interpreted the class project.

I took a class from Craftsy on machine quilting. I've also taken a couple of college courses online, and plan to continue that one day (got interrupted on my way to a bachelor's degree in early childhood education by the addition of a new baby :) but I'll get back to it someday.
ReplyDeleteNo classes on line, Linda just some neat stuff on U Tube.

I'm taking the Craftsy Block of the Month class. I've learned a lot from it. Great techniques and short cuts. Lots of new things.
ReplyDeleteI haven't really taken any online classes except the Craftsy Block of the Month class, which I love!
ReplyDeleteLove the boldness of your All Stacked Up quilt, Linda. I have only taken online courses through Craftsy. I love the fact that I can refer back to it forever. And I have enjoyed and used many of the free classes on youtube. Sharon P.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - No, I have never taken an on-line course but you have me interested!! I will check some out. You know where to find me if I win - thanks for the chance...........Barbara
ReplyDeleteI've taken on-line computer classes when I was working. Now I am retired and can do whatever I like (mostly).
ReplyDeleteThanks,
