I’m loving the Nikki’s Jigsaw Puzzle, but loving the Flower Power! Hard to decide on just one.
Ellen Jordan
I love Wind and also Extra Sweet Heart makes a great border.

Picking a favorite is hard! I really like “Flower Power” as a filler. For borders I love your tutorial for the “Twisted Rope.” This is a sashing design I have used numerous times while hand quilting and had not been able to figure out how to do it by machine without a lot of back stitching. You made it so easy.
Sue
It is so hard to narrow it down to just one favorite so I took a different approach. I think Sweet Sunshine because it goes along with the season of the publication of the magazine.

The Square Flower is my favorite–with the Flower Variations a close second.
Nancy laPorte
Love them all but my favorite is the square flower.
Carole Diehl
Love them all, but will probably use the swirls and twirls or the basic leaf the most.
kay
Every time I look, I find a new favorite. But fleur-de-lis and pine bough keep rising to the top of my list!
Diane Pickthall
I love Irish Chain, Wind and Flower Power. To pick one would be hard, like picking your favorite child. All of your designs are wonderful and so adaptable for DSM or LA.
Linda
I love many of your designs, but think my favorite is the square flower!
Peggy St. George
Lori…I think for a column I like the double loop vine. For quilters who like feathers but lack confidence, I like motifs on a vine that they can do and move their skills forward to feathers when they have confidence. For me, personally, I love the wind motif…it’s very elegant. Love your blog. Thank you for doing it. Looking forward to your column.
Diane Bartow
I love the way the Irish Chain looks as a border. Thank you for all of your beautiful designs!
Britt
Hello, Lori. My eyes always love a good swirl and a spiral, so my favorite today is the Wind. I’m making a neighborhood quilt for my daughter and this motif is begging to be used in the “sky” of the quilt.
Lisa Troyke
Good Morning! Like the others it’s a tough choice as your designs seem to always be so light hearted and fun. I vote for any of the flower designs. Maybe the individual flower designs can lead up to the Picket Fence or Windowsill Garden. After this winter I am so looking forward to seeing a garden of flowers. Good Luck!
Peggy Rihn
I really love the square flower. It can be used on so many of my quilts! There are so many great designs to choose from.
akagracie
The lollipop flower! I love that design.
Leslie Emma
If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the holly leaf pattern – or maybe the basic leaf. It could also be the perfect pumpkin or the house sashing. Was this a trick question?
JoyceO
Fabulous Flower is great for the border and Flower Power is ideal for an all-over quilting design. All the designs are clever and useful for different and varied applications. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lori – I love all the free motion lessons as they have helped me step out of my comfort zone. I loved flower power and used my variation on my French Braid tree skirt I was so happy with the way it turned out. Thanks!
Karen A
Way too many favorites to narrow down. All your tutorials are so well laid out and easy (with practice) to replicate. I really like any of your spiral designs and then your leaf designs.
LaNan Eldridge
It is very hard to pick only one favorite but swirls and twirls is my first choice, followed by many others!
Brenda Dunne
I love all of your tutorials, but my favorites are the square flower + variations and braided wheat. Thank you!

Lori! Amazing designs and so many to choose from. I found your blog in March so it was fun to go back further into your tutorials. My favs, maypop leaf, diamonds, grid play, flower power, squared flower, candy stripes, basic leaf, twisted rope, and quilted spool. I’m a longarm quilter, since 1996, and so appreciate a new infusion of designs for fillers, sashing, and borders. Congratulations on your AQS article. Here is to many more! Hugs, Allison Bayer in Plano, TX. allon0711@yahoo.com

Flower Power is my current favorite. It makes me smile every time I use it! I’ve learned so much from you and am very grateful for your generous spirit, sharing your time and talents with all of us.
Sarah Scott
Lori, I agree with Mary M., I love all of your designs, but my favorite is The Perfect Pumpkin!! I used it a couple times last fall and hope to use it this coming fall again!! Thank you for all of the FMQ tutorials! I look forward to them every week!! =)
darlene
Choosing ONE was the difficult part. But I thank you for the exercise of looking through them all. I wrote down my 10 favorites, some of which I’ve mastered, and the winner is The Wind. I use it alot because so much of my work is beach or nautical.
Marly
I think they are all wonderful, but if I must choose I think the square flower is my favourite. It’s so versatile: either as a single piece in the centre of a block or as part of a border. It’s a winner.
Lorna S
I have many motifs that I like but here are a few of my favorites: Irish Chain, Flower Power, Swirls & Twirls, Wind and Orange Peel
Mary M
Hi, Lori! I love all of your designs, but I think my #1 favorite is Swirling Stars. I’ve used it a couple of times to great effect! Thank you so much for all of your tutorials. They have been inspirational.
Quiltin Jenny
How to pick just one from all those awesome tutorials? I love them all! But if I had to narrow it down, I would have to pick the Irish Chain. It works as a fantastic border, has a lot of interest, and looks very complex (although your instructions make it seem totally do-able!).
Congratulations on your debut! I hope it is the first of many.
Marlene
Wow Lori – it was great to see all your designs together!! It’s hard to choose but I like the Flower Power best. It’s easy to stitch and can cover a little space or use it as an allover design – versy versatile!! And congrats on the magazine article
Rose Hunter
That is an easy one for me! My favorite is Sweet Sunshine because not only is it beautiful, but it is also “user friendly”. That little sailboat is a favorite too.
