Just popping in to let everyone know the Fast and Fun blog hop begins tomorrow! This hop celebrates the patterns created at Villa Rosa Designs. VRD patterns are sold in lovely postcard formats and promote quick and simple quilts. Often graphic and modern in design, these can be used for wall quilts, baby quilts and lap size quilts. They are easily expanded by making more blocks and adding borders if you choose to.
The line up of bloggers promoting these patterns is shown below. Be sure to visit each one for loads of inspiration as well as the chance to enter and win some very generous prizes.

This is going to be a fun hop…thanks for connecting me!
That is quite the list of sponsors! I look forward to seeing what you made.
This should be fun. I am sitting this one out (cause I need a breather) but I will be loudly cheering for you and the participants.
This is not only a super colouring the grey days blog hop, it gives really good inspiration while going through all links. Wendy gave me courage to reply. Its fun to check all the nice pages. Have a good week.
Hello Eva – Thank you for the note! Also, so nice to meet you through Wendy. 🙂
I agree about the inspiration when visiting a blog hop. I love to see the same patterns made with a variety of fabric and colors. Each time it looks unique. Enjoy the hop! Hope you’ll come back again.
My First Blog hop!!! Fun visiting new sights!!!! Love It!!!!💞
I”m glad to be participating in this fun hop!
It’s so fun getting to know all the quilting blogs out there. Very good content in all. Glad you are in the Blog Hop. I remember your sight coming to mind when I did a mystery quilt with Meadow Most Designs.
You did a very nice job with that quilt- I love the colors. Lots of great prizes too!!
Hello this is the first blog hop for me. I am enjoying finding new to me quilters. I do not use precuts but cut mine own. I would love to try one someday. The back of your quilt is outstanding. It has a story in itself.

Aha! I’d been looking for the comments.
I love hearing about how patterns are changed up to fit our stashes and needs! Reminds me of how recipes are used in my kitchen….never exactly the same twice! The only precuts I’ve used so far are 2 1/2″ strips. We’ll see what happens next.
I like layer cakes. You can cut them into other sizes to use so many ways.
I like all precuts, however they need to be purchased with a pattern in mind soooo you can also purchase fabrics for borders at the same time. Later… the same fabric collection isn’t available. Love ❤️ ❤️❤️ your color choices!
Sounds like fun !
My favorite Precuts are Charm Packs !
Thanks for sharing!
Jo sent me! I like to use charm packs
Favorite precuts…..hmmm……..I can’t decide! I have more 2 1/2″ strips than any of the rest. So I guess I prefer them (to buy at least)!
Jo sent me. Loved your version of the quilt.
I don’t buy too many pre-cuts. I tend to make my own. I love the colors in your quilt!
I’m an experimenter so any precut goes …layer cake to mini charms or just cut my own
Sweet! Seeing your greens gave me a great idea for a future quilt using Switched. Great pattern and fabrics!
Layer cakes and fat quarters are my most used precuts.
Pretty quilt///
Nice quilt!
My favorite precuts are charm packs.
Favorite pre cut is also charm packs not only are they a good size to work with but affordable as well for someone on a very tight budget.this pattern s witched would be cute with a charm pack as well
I love your color choice. My favorite precut is the jelly roll.
I love that pieced back. A great way to use up your scraps.
