So, it is my turn for the Sew Kind of Wonderful Bloghop. I have to say I love Jenny and her sisters so much! I have had the best time getting to know Jenny over the years. We met through my blog and have been able to meet up at Market a couple of times. She is the best! Super talented too. I have to admit, I want to make every pattern she has come up with - if only there were more hours in the day.
Since the first time I laid my eyes on Metro Medallion - I wanted to make it. Seriously. I love this pattern so much. Because of time, or lack of time I might say - I made a four block wall-hanging sized quilt. I wanted to have a quilt I could put on the wall and show off my quilting along with showcasing the Medallion block. This quilt was really fast to put together. The pattern is easy to follow and I whipped this up in two days, it would have been one day if I didn't have so many distractions ;-) Speaking of distractions - don't you think my little helper is cute? Love this boy. He was so excited to help me with my "yiddo kilt" as he calls it.
This was the first time I really just grabbed random fabric from my shelves and put together very different colors than my usual bright color palette. I really love the light teal, grey, yellow and navy. I think the colors really work well together.
Jenny loves curves and I love the designs she comes up with, but I have to admit that I love quilting straight lines. I thought it was totally appropriate to mix our styles together.
One thing to remember is to not be scared if you are trying out curved piecing for the first time. I remember being totally intimidated by curves, but with Jenny's ruler and instructions - it's so much easier than I expected.
Two different designs within the yellow fabric, I love how it turned out.
I used two layers of cotton/wool batting and Glide thread for this small quilt. I love this quilt so much! The texture is just amazing.
This was a really fun project. I really enjoyed it and I am so excited to that I get to keep it! Isn't the back lovely? My favorite backing yet.
Here's comes the best part of this giveaway - Jenny is giving away this pattern with kit to make Urban Birthday. These fabrics will be so beautiful!
She is also giving away a Quick Curve Ruler to a lucky reader. Here's all you have to do - go here and look at all of Sew Kind of Wonderful's patterns and book, then tell me which one is your favorite. Just one entry please. I'll announce the winner in a couple days - or so..

HI Judi,
I love the quilting you did on your sample. I really like the Metro Medallion as well. I think that I may have put together a few blocks as well.
ruthq@rogers.com
What amazing quilting - fantastic. I must say I love the Metro Medallion too. I've been fascinated by the curves rulers since I saw them but have never tried them out. I should keep an eye out for them at our quilt markets (I assume we get them here in Australia too).
I love the quilting you did on your project. My favorite pattern is Metro. Scope.
I love your "little quilt". My favorite pattern is Urban Pods- looks like it would be fun!
My favorite is the Metro Hoops. Thanks for the great giveaway!!
I love metro rings! Thanks for the chance to win
Just love Metro Lattice--thanks for the chance,
I love Metro Twist. Gorgeous fabric!
Metro rings is one that stands out for me. It's really hard to have a favorite when it comes to the patterns they all are great!
Urban Twist
That was the favorite when I looked. Next time, it could be something different as I liked many of them. I like that they look like they were designed by the same person--the consistency shown.
Metro Lattice is my favorite. thanks

I like the Deco Shimmer. Your medallion is gorgeous!
I like Metro Twist. They all look really fun to try tho.
Metro Scope is my favorite. I have a couple of her other patterns already, so will start pulling fabric for the QAL!
Metro Rings. And your quilting is fabulous.
Metro Rings is my favorite
Yeah, I'm a huge Metro Medallion fan, too. Love yours!! My favorite pattern right now is the Metro Lattice. It's intriguing me and calling my name. ;D
My faves are Metro Twist and Urban POods.
Congratulations on your 6 yearsin business.

Love the Urban Escape
My favorite pattern is the Metro Lattice.
I like the Urban Abacus pattern, but it was so hard to choose!
WoW! Love quilting on Metro! Really impressive job, and looks beautiful.
I like the Metro Twist. I would love to have this curve ruler.
Urban Tiles caught my eye.
Metro Rings would be a 2-fer for me= my first DWR and my first QCR.
Their book looks wonderful! A must get!
Metro Medallion is off the charts great! Thanks for the chance to win!
I like quite a few, but I think I'd be most likely to make Deco the Halls. I love your Medallion, too, although I think I'm just jealous of the quilting that makes the secondary design all its own =)
I like deco the halls and metro scope
love the deco tumbler pattern. Thanks so much!
Tom
I've been looking at the Quick Curve Ruler and patterns for awhile now. Thanks for sharing your choice and quilting. My favorite pattern is Metro Lattice. Hopefully I'll be able to start my Sew Kind of Wonderful project after the hop!
I love Metro Lattice. How pretty would it be in a gradient?!
I love the Metro medallion that you did, but my favorite is Metro Rings - kind of like the double wedding ring that I have always liked.
Gorgeous piece!! Metro rings is one that stands out for me.
a lot of awesome pattern really like metro scope
Absolutely love your quilting...totally inspired. I am a huge fan of the ruler and love the metro rings pattern. Thanks for the giveaway and most of all thanks for sharing
I love them all...but I think Metro Rings is next for me. It looks so different than my usual style. Your liddo kilt is amazing!
I love the Urban Tiles pattern! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your wall hanging! Great quilting in it! My fav of Jenny's patterns right now is Metro Hoops. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the Metro Hoops or Rings! Love all her patterns and love your quilting! The two are simply amazing together!

Thank you for the giveaway! So many patterns to choose from....I really like Urban Tiles!
I love her Metro Rings pattern. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love all of them, but right now Metro Twist is may favorite :)
The quilt designs you selected for Medallian are awesome! All of the patterns for the curve ruler are creative. I like the Urban Nine Patch best, I think.
medallion and the metro lattice :)
Your quilting is just fabulous! I love Urban Twist. carolann427@aol.com
Until NOW - Metro Lattice has always been my favorite pattern at SewKindofWonderful. But your medallion is AMAZING. The quilting you did just takes it to the next level. I think maybe I need to embark on making a collection of wall hangings from several patterns! Hope I win one - thanks for sharing your lovely quilts. I'll be back to your blog!
Amazing quilting. It really makes this pattern shine. Metro Rings is my favorite.
I love metro Twist. Curves in a quilt add so much movement. I've never worked with specialty rulers and this is a nudge to take the plunge. Thanks
I think Urban Abacus is my favorite, though there were a few others that were neck and neck in my private "poll". ;)
Oh, pick me, pick me! I'm making the Metro Rings right now, and have the Urban Holiday pattern and fabrics in a bin on my "ready to go" shelf - now when that will be ready to go, is anyone's guess! I think that's my favorite pattern - today anyway! I love all Jenny's patterns - and your quilting on this Metro Medallion is spectacular, as always!
My favorites from her patterns seem to change all the time but right now I really love Metro Twist!
Your quilting and that pattern make a dynamite combination. Stunning!!! My favorite pattern is Metro Rings.
Do I have to choose? I like Metro Rings and Metro Lattice, and...
Thank you for the chance to win!
Judi, thanks for sharing your craft work. You make me want to do the Medallion now so that is my choice. I also love the squares you did in the Metro Rings quilt. You are an all round great quilter (or should I say front and back)!
Urban Twist is my favorite....Thanks
You ladies are so talented! I love the Metro Rings as these remind me of a double wedding ring. I would love to win! Thanks!
MetroTwist would be my favorite pattern!!! This ruler and book are awesome... I'd love to win!!!!
I want to make everything. The book is my favorite at the moment. Love your QCR project & your magic quilting.
Beautiful quilt! Love the quilting and your little helper!
My favorite pattern is the Metro Rings!

I am digging the Metro Scope pattern.

Fabulous quilt and quilting... as always, your work is amazing! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I'm addicted to the Quick Curve Ruler. I took Jenny's class at the Herber Valley retreat. I love the Schimmer pattern. I've done a set of pillows using Schimmer. I would love to get another pattern.
I had to do the enemy keenly thingy...LOL I will choose Metro Medallion,,...love them all
Wow. The quilting on your quilt is just gorgeous.
I love many of Jenny's patterns, but currently my favorite one is Metro Twist. It also looks like one I might be able to handle since I haven't used the ruler yet and haven't sewn curves in many years.
So hard to decide-Metro Waves and the Tumbler patterns were really nice!
I love the Urban Nine Patch pattern. It's a nice combinationof straight and curved lines.
I love the Metro Rings and Urban Nine Patch patterns....wow! And your quilt, as always is stunning!

My favorite is the metro twist but it runs just ahead of gage sampler block patterns! I'd love to give this new me toad a try...thanks for the chance!
My favorites are Metro Lattice or Metro Rings. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am just finishing up a quilt using Urban Window (my first time playing with the QC ruler). I think my new favorite is Urban Abacus. I already bought the Curve It Up pattern to participate in the QAL.
I can't decide between Urban Beads and Metro Lattice, thank you for the chance.
Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous, the quilting fantastic. I want to stand there and watch you while you work, see the process for creating works of art like that.

If I have to choose only one, then let it be Metro Rings. But all the others are great, too.

There isn't a Sew Wonderful pattern I don't love! But right now I am working on Metro Rings, so it must be my favorite.
My LQS is doing a class on Urban Abacus. This is where I first saw this pattern...love the colors and the quilt. Looks like a great technique and quilt to start on.
I have already purchased Metro Rings, if only I had the time to piece and quilt it. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Kim

I´ve already got the ruler and pattern so don´t include me in your giveaway but oh, I just had to comment-- how I LOVE your Metro Medallion, simply beautiful! Always happy quilting and hugs from Germany, Bobbi
Your quilting is always so beautiful and enhances them quilt perfectly. You are an amazing artist. i love all Jenny's patterns but my current favorite would have to be Deco Shimmer.
Love the Urban Winter...and the others as well,hard to choose. Your quilting is absolutely gorgeous.
Love the colors in your quilt. I think Urban Chained is my new favorite.
I recently purchased her book after seeing the circle quilt on the cover. I've got the fabric, now I just need the time. Great giveaway. Thanks for the chance to win.
I loved how the quilting on the back of your quilt is showcased. I love so many of the patterns but if I had to narrow it down, Metro rings or Urban Chained are my favourites.
I have also done a Metro Medallion quilt top. I'm trying to get the courage to quilt it in a manner that will give the pattern the justice it deserves. I am hoping to tackle the Metro Lattice pattern next.
I like the Metro Twist!
I like Urban Nine Patch. Thank you for the generous giveaway.
Love Deco Tumbler katn@bellsouth.net

Urban Winter is my favorite.
But really they are all wonderful.
I love the urban holiday pattern, but your medallion is pretty great too.
I like Urban Chained!
I can't pick just one.. Love them all!!
I have the Urban nine patch sitting on my table calling my name.
I like Metro Hoops! I enjoy seeing these designs and would love to make something from a kit. It would be relaxing to have everything I needed all ready to cut and sew!
Metro Hoops looks like it would be so much fun to pick fabrics and sew.
They are all AMAZING!! but I think i like urban winter best!!
I love Urban Holiday. It is so clean and reminds me of retro ornaments. Thanks.
Urban Pods appeals to me because of both the design and the quilting. I'm going to put this one on my short list.
Love looking at the samples. I like metro waves. Thanks for the chance to win.
Your quilting is exquisite! Love it. My favorite pattern is the Metro Hoops
I like Metro Hoops! Thanks.
I love Metro Rings!!
Oh....I do like the Metro Waves!
Lovely job on quilting! I also love the colors you chose, perfect for showing it off on the wall if I do say so myself!
My favorite pattern that catches my eye would be the Metro Medallion! I love the appeal of the curves with it not being curves, if that makes any sense! My close second would be the Metro Scope!
Is it okay to have 2 favorites? I just can't decide. I love that quilt on the cover of her book, but I also love the Metro Waves.
love this Metro medallion design...........
here is another one.........

OMG - your quilting is stunning! Love Love Love!
My favorite pattern is probably Metro Lattice but Urban Beads is a close second!
I really love Urban 9 patch. Your medallion is pretty, love the straight quilting with the curves!
I love her Metro Twist. I'm a huge fan of your quilting, it really makes the quilts patterns even better. I just got a longarm and hope one day, to be 1/100 as good as you are.
Every time I look, I have a new favorite! Today it's, Urban Tiles! I think I must be like you: I actually want to make them all - now if only I could quilt like you do; the quilting on that little quilt is fantastic!
Deco the Halls!!!
Congrats to you and yours on 6 years!!! Appreciate your sharing!
Love the back of this quilt!!!

HI,LIKE THE METRO TWIST!
THANKS FOR SHARING A GREAT GIVEAWAY!
msstitcher1214@gmail.com
Still like Metro Rings the best, although there are a couple others that are a very close second. Love her patterns! Love your quilting!!
Metro Medallion is my favorite, but Metro Rings is a close second!
I simply love ALL of Jenny & Helen's patterns and the book! I have about six patterns already, so it is very difficult to choose just one. Since I have to choose my favorite (and I don't have this one) I think it would be Metro Rings. There are so many yummy fabrics that could be used in that one :D
Metro Scope or Metro Lattice are my favourites. Love your quilting.
I think Metro Rings is my favourite. The sampler is way cool as well.
• • • I'm having a hard time deciding. Almost all the "Urban" styles look pretty cool. If I have to choose just one though... I'd say Urban Candy.
Thanks for sharing!
Love your little quilt. Urban nine patch is my favorite!
i love metro Hoops, thanks
I like the Urban 9 Patch and the Deco Shimmer!!
Urban holiday! So striking! Thanks for the inspiration!
YOUR quilt design for Metro Medallion pushed it to the top of my list. Metro Lattice is a close second.
Every pattern becomes beautiful when you finish quilting it! They pop! My favorite is Metro Lattice. I love the modern spin on an all time favorite, Wedding Ring.
urban nine patch!
Urban nine patch is my choice. Your quilt is gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway.

As always a great job on your quilting :-) I love her Urban escape pattern(which I have made).
There are so many beautiful patterns to choose from it's hard to pick just one! My fav is the metro hoops pattern. I've never sewn curved blocks before but Jenny makes it look so easy I would be willing to give it a try! Thank you so much for the generous opportunity to win!
I like "Metro Waves" the best. Looks like something I might be able to handle. Your quilting is always so exquisite. Thanks for sharing!
I like Metro Twist. Always look forward to seeing your next quilting finish. What talent!
I have always been in love with Metro Hoops, but your quilting on Metro Medallion now makes me a fan of it. I am not sure which one of these 2 that I like better! I guess Medallion. Thanks for sharing your work!
My favorite is Metro Lattice.
That's such a hard choice but I think it would be Urban Nine Patch.
All of the patterns are wonderful! I really am anxious to get a copy of the book, Contemporary Curved Quilts. I enjoyed look at your blog!
Your Quilt is absolutely Stunning!! I have never seen one like it, and some day I will meet that challenge. it would have to be Metro Rings for now.
Thank~you for such a Wonderful Give Away!!
