First off, how can 2015 be almost over?! For me, it was an exceptionally busy year and went by in a blur. When I saw that Cheryl over at Meadow Mist Designs had invited bloggers to put together our 5 best posts for 2015 I thought it was a great idea just so I could go back and see what I did this year.
Other than giveaways, the post with the most activity was definitely the one where I shared this beauty.
In February, the Fat Quarter Shop asked me to participate in their Layers of Charm blog hop. I immediately chose to use Windham's Mimosa collection and ended up making one of my favorite quilts of the year.
One of my most popular posts seems to be a Pinterest favorite. In this post, I shared a bunch of quilts others had made using some of my patterns. I continue to see lots of daily traffic and thank all of you who pinned some of these quilt to your boards.
And even though it isn't an actual post, many of you have visited my Scrap-A-Palooza page - hopefully looking for inspiration. The first Scrap-A-Palooza quilt of the year was this fun one. It seems like I just finished it a few weeks ago!
My personal favorite post of the year was the one where I shared my Pineapple quilt. A pineapple quilt had been on my bucket list for years and I spent a lot of blood, sweat and tears on this one. I don't get attached to many quilts but this one is tucked away just for me.
For the last of my "best of" choices, I wanted to share the quilts that I think inspired the most people. It was hard to choose between two finishes so I guess I am breaking the rules and now linking my best six for 2015!
This simple little nine patch quilt I made last year as my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilt seemed to inspire others to want to make one of their own. Since I shared this one, I have even made a second one myself. These colorful nine patches make such a cute quilt!
And it was great to see so many quilters making their own version of this scrappy log cabin. It was a Scrap-A-Palooza quilt with lots of layout options and one I will definitely be visiting again in the future!
So that is my best of 2015! Now it is time for me to start thinking about my plans for 2016. I would love to hear what you would like to see more of. I really do appreciate all your support!

Beautiful quilts!! I loved the Layers of Charm and Scrap-A-Palooka quilts the best. Thanks for sharing! :)
Awesome! They are all so beautiful. You are a great inspiring quilter.Thanks for all you share.
Wow, it is hard to believe a year has already gone since I saw the Scrap-A-Palooza quilt you feature. This wrap up is really a fun way to reflect on our years, and I enjoyed seeing your summary. I look forward to what you create in 2016!
Very lovely! Your work is beautifully done and I'm glad I stopped by from the linky to see it!
Great finishes, each and everyone of them! I love all of your scrappy quilts. Thanks for linking up!
They are all stunning! Love your choice of colors and the quilting is great!
What a fabulous line up of beautiful finishes! Your scrappy happy style is such an inspiration. I am so glad to have found your blog and look forward to seeing what you create in the coming New Year. Happy 2016!
Wonderful line-up! I love your scrappy quilts and using my scraps is going to be my focus for 2016 so I'll be back here next year for sure!
I too am always inspired by my visits to your blog...so just keep doing what your are doing. Happy Holidays quilty friend. :)
I am always amazed at the variety of styles and colors you try! So fun to see them again. I agree you should keep that pineapple quilt fir yourself! It's beautiful and so unique!
I love that pineapple the most, but I freely admit to a deep attraction to nine patch quilts, so that's a favorite, too!
And where did 2015 go?
I just started to follow your blog, and enjoyed this "wrap up" for the year. I liked looking at the quilting on the long arm of your "simple 9 patch". I am always looking for ideas on "how to" quilt a project, and the spirals and 's' in the 9 patch are very effective. I wonder if it is possible on a domestic sewing machine without driving myself too crazy. (I know, one block at a time....)Happy stitching in the coming year!
