 Happy Halloween! And what better way to celebrate than a special treat! Today is the day for the Moda Stitch Pink Quilt reveal! Wow did this month just fly by. This sew-along was the best sew-along I have ever participated in or finished on time. 🙂 I ended up with an amazing quilt and if you make it until the end of this post, you will see what I did with my quilt. 

Such a beautiful quilt! 

A few photos of it before I quilted it. 

I was not sure initially if I would set my blocks just like the original pattern, but when I saw the blocks laid out together, I just fell in love. 

I quilted it on my Innova with the an edge-to-edge computerized design called Deb’s Feathers.  Edge-to-Edge quilting service info available here

Close-ups. 

Perfect little stitches. Love how it looks quilted!

Moda Stitch Pink quilt is in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Moda is donating a portion of the Grunge kits/fabric proceeds made with this quilt towards Breast Cancer Research. When Carrie at Moda (the genius behind this gorgeous quilt pattern) asked if I would participate, I knew just what I would do with my quilt. If you have followed me the last 10 years, you know I have mentioned a very dear friend that also quilts, Patti. Well, Patti is a FOUR yes FOUR time cancer survivor, including breast cancer as well as three other cancers. Good friends are hard to come by and she is a once in a lifetime kind of friend. I completely surprised her. She stopped by my studio and saw the quilt and of course she knew I had been working on. She’s been contemplating making it herself after seeing mine. I mentioned that I made a special label for it and told her to check it out. 

She read it with tears. Herself a quilter, it’s the first time she’s ever received a quilt except for her wedding which inspired her to learn to quilt. Although, I loved the quilt so much…giving it to Patti was a feeling I will never forget. The best feeling. Zero regrets.

I told her if we ever divorce…I get the quilt in the divorce. LOLOLOL!  Finishing directions for the quilt here.

Now lets get caught up on those last for blocks. Block 27 – Give Me Wings 

I love the name of the block! Larger pieces…stitched up quickly. A nice change of pace. I also used Triangle Paper for the half-square triangles. Directions for Block 27 here.

Block 28 – Groovy Granny 

Another scrappy version for me. I love using those leftover pieces. These last few blocks were some of my favorites. I just love this one. Direcetions for Block 28 here.

Block 29 – Twinkle Twinkle 

Okay, this one is my favorite. 🙂 For real this time. Lots of pieces. Another scrappy version. Starch and triangle paper helped aid me in getting this one stitched with ease. I just took my time and laid all the pieces out first.  The Triangle Papers, Folded Corner Ruler and Flying Geese Ruler I used throughout the quilt are now available in my shop here. Directions for Block 29 here.

Block 30 – Mother Hen 

The last block. I was sad to piece the last one. However, lucky for me it was another great block to use leftover pieces. The scrappier the merrier, I say! Lots of pieces, but it stitched up easily. I also refer to this block as Anniversary Block. My wedding anniversary is on Oct. 30 AND I started this blog 10 years ago. Happy Anniversary, Friends! So how about a little giveaway! Just leave me a comment here telling me your favorite Halloween treat or your favorite treat in general or favorite quilt block. I will announce a winner Monday, November 2. Directions for Block 30 here.

If you’d like a second chance to win, I am giving a basket of goodies on my Instagram as well here.

Hope you all enjoyed this sew-along as much as I did!

    Great job, great story, lovely friend💗. My favorite Halloween treat is the free burrito at chipotle!

  • Patty Sliney says:

    Oh my gosh, what a beautiful blog post. The quilt is so beautiful and to give it away to someone so deserving. Brought tears to my eyes as a quilter and a nurse. So, my favorite Halloween candy is Candy Corn, always! And favorite treat in general would be a rich, soft, chewy, warm brownie with an ice-cold glass of milk! ~ Patty S. Hoosierquilt@aol.com

  • Cheryl says:

    This brought tears to my eyes. Patti a four time cancer survivor, God Bless You. Patti has a great friend in you Linda. My favorite Halloween candy is anything chocolate. Happy Halloween.

  • Judy says:

    What a beautiful quilt! I think Twinkle Twinkle is my favorite block. My favorite Halloween treat is a Butterfinger. Yum, yum!

  • Jean says:

    This quilt is absolutely gorgeous! I’m sure Patti will cherish it!

  • Bonnie58 says:

    I love your quilt Linda. It is beautiful and an awesome testament to all cancer survivors. I am like you, every new block is my new favourite. I really cannot narrow it down. Thanks for the progress reports

  • ladawnrae says:

    Such a fabulous quilt with a beautiful story! I just finished breast cancer treatment myself, and I know what the love and support of special friends means. ❤❤❤

  • Diane says:

    Wow, what a gorgeous quilt! You do such amazing work! Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️

  • Linda Futrell Rogers says:

    What an absolutely stunning quilt!! It is amazing and special that you gave it to your friend who is a 4X cancer survivor. Incredible. I confess – I copied your design as much as I could and the quilt is for me because I am a breast cancer survivor. I think having this quilt for the month was incredible and am so glad that Moda did it. I am still behind – working on Block 17 now – but I plan on getting this finished before I do anything else. I was originally planning on adding some borders in between each block, but after seeing yours I don't think that it needs that.
    Thanks for showing your pictures daily. You are a great inspiration!

  • qubasket says:

    I’m sure your friend will cherish her quilt especially since it came from you and because it is so beautiful. I received a pink breast cancer quilt from one of my quilting bee group 15 years ago. I cherish it and it is still on my bed. Reese’s is my favorite Halloween candy, actually my favorite anytime.

  • Unknown says:

    This is such an inspiration to get this project done. Beautiful.

  • Mary Moore says:

    Linda your quilt is inspiring. I absolutely love everything about it, from the fabric that you chose down to the final quilting using the feathers. What warmed my heart the most is that you gave your beautiful creation to Patti. Patti I pray you never get this again and congratulations for beating this cancer four times. My favorite Halloween treat this year is the extra hour of "sleep" that we will get tonight! Happy Anniversary!

    • P Jarvis says:

      Just to clarify, I had breast cancer once. The other three were bonus cancers of different flavors. It too warmed my heart and I tear up every time I think of it. 🙂

  • Chelle (Dana) says:

    You made such a beautiful quilt! It was a very wonderful and loving gift to your friend. I'm sure she will cherish it forever. My favorite treat (candy) would be chocolate covered caramel. Love it, but can't always find it.

  • With Love from the Heart of Our Home says:

    Wow! What a beautiful, beautiful gift from the heart! Pattie sure is a strong and blessed friend! The quilt is just gorgeous and I have really enjoyed seeing each of your blocks everyday! Loved seeing this work of art all pieced and quilted up by you!

    The quilt you made for your friend is beautiful and heartfelt, and I had tears in my eyes when I read the label. I hope she uses it in good health for many, many years! I’m glad you’re blogging again. I know it’s a challenge to do it, but I so enjoy looking at your gorgeous quilts, your lovely daughters and your adorable pets. My favorite trick or treat today would be a visit from a certain little 3 year old shark and 5 year old alligator. That would be a great treat.!

  • antique quilter says:

    how kind of you, but I am not surprised at all. We know she will love that quilt and treasure it. I love pumpkin bread/muffins and always make pumpkin muffins on halloween for breakfast!

    What touching story about you and Patti and your gorgous quilt. Truly what life is all about! I can't have any of the traditional treats for Halloween due to my food restrictions……..but the absolute best treat for me any day is to see and chat with my grandchildren. They light up my life!

  • Caro says:

  • Margaret says:

    This makes my heart so full.

  • skquinn23 says:

    My favorite part of Halloween is the extra candy that the trick or treaters didnt get

  • Frog Quilter says:

    I am also doing this top for a cancer patient. So worth while. I also make and give away quilts for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. This is my favorite Halloween treat and all year round.

  • Melissa Shaver says:

    Thanks so much for sharing this story. That’s part of what makes a quilt absolutely priceless – the stories behind each one.

  • Gail says:

    That is a lovely quilt and I think giving it to a person who quilts will mean that it is appreciated lots more than giving it to a non-quilter! She will know all the time, money and love that went into it as well as appreciating the special connection as a 4-time (WOW!) cancer survivor!
    My favorite treat is milk chocolate with sea salt and my favorite quilt blocks are currently appliqué, but that changes, depending what I’m working on!

  • SallyC says:

    Such a great quilt and story! I love any treat that is dark chocolate.

  • Kathy Conway says:

  • Jane N says:

    Love your quilt!! I’m getting a late start because of family health issues, but it’s gonna be fun. Using all kinds of grunge pink with a silver gray background. So happy Moda did a QAL to honor breast cancer awareness month.

  • Angie W says:

    Love how your quilt turned out!

    When I was young we lived way out in the country so only Trick or Treated at a few houses. My favorite was going to Loralie she was an older lady that gave out homemade cookies and popcorn balls.

  • Unknown says:

    Your quilt is stunning! Have downloaded the blocks and hope to make this soon. My favorite treat is Payday candy bars. Oh my…

  • Kelly Hunsberger says:

    Your quilt is beautiful and such a blessing to your friend! Four year ago this month I shaved my head for a dear friend going through breast cancer. That may not be a treat, but it was the best treat I ever gave out at this time of year.

  • Karen N. says:

    Your quilt is gorgeous!! I cried too when I read the label. What a beautiful gift. What an amazing friend and friendship. My favorite Halloween treat would be Milky Way Bars.

    I have no words to describe how I feel receiving this quilt from you. As a survivor, it means so much. The worst hell anyone can go through. In the end, there has been many things in my life that has made it "worth" it. Hopefully, being a better friend. I teared up again, lol, reading your post. As one commenter said, As a quilter she will truly appreciate it. And I do!! I love it so much. Thank you dear friend.

  • Barbara johnson says:

    I love your quilt. I’ll inspired to make it after seeing your fabrics and the finished quilt. Hershey chocolate bar with almonds is my favorite

  • Unknown says:

    What a beautiful gift to give to a special friend with cancer. I am a 4 year survivor of lung cancer. Sometimes people just can't understand what we are feeling or thinking. I try to look at everyday in a positive way – "doesn't always work" I am anxious to start my quilt when I get my fabric. My treat for Halloween is to spend time with my Grandkids and family.

  • Dianesrn1 says:

    Stunning quilt! Perfect showcase of the redwork gatherings fabric! Congratulations to the recipient for beating cancer x 4! Heartwarming story, prayers for an end to cancer for everyone. God bless.

  • Sheryl says:

    My favorite Halloween treat is candy corn! Especially if you mix it with peanuts and M&Ms! One of my favorite blocks to make is churn dash – because you can do fun things with the middle of it, I put a pin wheel in the middle, or a log cabin, or a sawtooth Star—endless possibilities!

  • lmrettig says:

    You made a stunning quilt! Your friend is one lucky and blessed lady. I am so glad that I found out about you from this QAL. I look forward to your future creations. My favorite treat is anything with salted caramel. I have also become obsessed with log cabin blocks this year. Once I get through my current project list, I am going to attempt some for myself.

  • Denise says:

    What a beautiful quilt. And I don’t even like pink. Also I love the quilting.

  • Janet says:

    What a stunning quilt… It’s wonderful to see it all put together and what a lovely gift that was. I think all October babies love Halloween! I don’t really care about the treats but I really do love the decorations! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Is that a BFF ruler in there? I took a big chip out of mine the very first time I used it! It still works upside down!

  • Jackie says:

    What a beautiful quilt! Your work is gorgeous!! My favorite candy would be a Reese peanut butter anything – cup, pumpkin – it doesn’t matter. It is hard to lick a favorite block but Ohio Star would be high on my list.

  • Marcy says:

    What a trip watching these blocks become a quilt. Put me down for Butterfinger and Baby Ruth.

  • Becky Collis says:

    Your quilt is gorgeous! I’m a butterfinger and churn dash kind of girl!

  • C McCormick says:

    This is gorgeous! I've been following along and I love this. I also think Block 29 is my favorite and I love Reese's peanut butter cups. And Snickers. And York Peppermint patties. And very dark chocolate….. probably best if I stay away from the candy aisle!!!

I had to order from Amazon, and they weren't the same. My favorite quilt block is anything I can paper piece! LOL! And I say this because your friend Lisa Bongean kinda egged me on with her video, to make that Halloween Harlequin quilt with the fig tree fabrics like hers! Oh boy! I sure wish it were paper pieced! Well that will teach me!….no it won't lol! I will watch something else with you two and go I wanna be like Lisa and Linda! Which I do 💕

    The quilt is breath taking. I love it. Red is my favorite color. Your friend is fortunate to have a friend like you. Happy both anniversaries.

    My favorite fall treat in Autumn mix candy corn and pumpkins. My all year long favorite is chocolate. Happy Anniversaries! Your quilt is beautiful! Giving it to your friend was a loving and generous thing to do! Last October I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy in January. So I am a nine month breast cancer survivor.

    Your quilt is beautiful! What a great friend you are to give away a quilt. You both are lucky to have found such a friendship. I too had breast cancer 2 years ago. Tell your friend to Be Strong, Be Brave, Be a Force!

    Loved watching this project come to life. Used up a lot of scraps. Thank you so much for your super instructions and hints! I'm not sure I have favorite! I really like any with stars! I love dark chocolate!

    What a beautiful ending for your quilt! Made my day. I love candy corn. Seeing your blocks in red make me want it done in red…so pretty.

    Your quilt is drop dead gorgeous! Love the scrappy reds. So sweet of you to gift it to your BFF. I have 2 favorite Halloween candies — Reese’s Dark Chocolate Thins & M&Ms

    Your quilt is fabulous! And what a great friend you are to gift it to your friend. Favorite candy for Halloween or any time are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

    Beautiful quilt made with beautiful fabrics!!The choice for the quilting was wonderful too! My favorite quilt block is the Feathered Star!

    What a sweet gift you made of your quilt. I bought a fat quarter bundle of Redwork Gatherings along with a layer cake and extra yardage to make my quilt as close to yours as possible. I hope you truly believe "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". Your blocks are so beautiful and lay so flat I am envious! But I digress…my favorite Halloween to Christmas candy is Terry's Milk Chocolate Orange Ball. When my children were little they loved to smack the sections apart. Alas, the children are grown and I can seldom find the chocolate orange balls anytime other than October to December. Thank you for sharing these wonderful posts on your Stitch Pink blocks. I've missed your posts and these were exceptionally refreshing. Blessings from West Virginia.

    I love everything about this, the quilt, the story of friendship, the photos, all just beautiful. Hard to pick a favorite treat, unless it’s chocolate. With peanut butter. Thanks for the heart lift!

    Can't think of any treat that's sweeter than your gift to your friend – what a lovely recognition of the friendship between the two of you!. A treat for me — just about anything chocolate!

    My favourite treat is a croissant. I can’t resist.
    I can’t choose a favourite block, that changes.
