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..

Metro Waves or Urban Pods......couldn't choose just one!!
I love your work, Judy! Thanks for sharing! I like Metro Scope ~ Pattern #405 (Paper Pattern). Have a nice day!
Honestly, I love all of Jenny's patterns, but Urban Holiday and Metro Medallions would probably be the quilts I would make first.
I like Metro Lattice pattern.
Metro Twist is on my wish list. I've loved almost every quilt I've seen made in this pattern.
Their book is in the mail to me as we speak. I can't wait!
And can I say your quilt is beautiful! I'm quilting a quilt top made of different blocks using this ruler and trying to find the right designs. Nerve racking.
Love the Metro Hoopes, # 403. So many lovely patterns to choose from.
Thanks
I love urban tiles. I have so many favorites. I just started Metro Twist. :) Your quilting is amazing!!!

I like the Metro LAttice. thanks for chance to win.
I really like Metro Hoops! I do love your quilting btw....just amazing! If I could be one iota...a titch....a fraction....a millimeter close to you as a quilter, I would be thrilled! Thank you for your continued inspiration!
Great quilt, Judi. And lovely quilting, as always. I'm smitten with Metro Hoops. This hop has been such fun for seeing all the variations. Thanks for the chance!
I can see why you want to make them all, If I have to pick one favorite it would have to be metro lattice.
I really like Urban nine patch. Thanks! sarah@forrussia.org
I like the Metro Rings pattern
I like Urban Birthday. Love your quilting.

I love Metro Hoops. What a beautiful way to use scraps! Thanks for the chance to win!
The back really shows off the amazing quilting. Love the colors and it feels good sometimes to use other than our usual go to palette.
Metro scope is my newest favorite
What a fantastic way to work with those trixy curves. I love the metro twists best, but they're all gorgeous modern designs. I'm on a tight budget, but on my next husband-approved splurge, I might just have to invest in that one!
Lovin' the Urban Beads pattern. All the patterns look great and so does the book!! So many quilts, so little time. Thanks for the chance to win. kthurn@bektel.com
My favorite pattern is Urban Beads. It is very hard to just chose one favorite out of all those beautiful patterns!!! I think that I need to try curves in my next quilt. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your quilt.
Love the metro rings!
I love Metro Hoops. Your quilt is gorgeous too.
My favourite pattern is Urban Winter, but I love them all.
I love the Curve it up. Someday I will find time to use my ruler.
Your quilt is great and the quilting is fab! I call Urban candy my fav for today :) as they are all beautiful.
Metro hoops! Thanks for the giveaway and the quilting on this piece was gorgeous
Ooooh, nice patterns and love them all....but "Deco Shimmer" caught my eye right away. That would be great place to start....thanks
My favorite pattern is Urban Abacus.I haven't been brave enough to do a curved pattern yet.
I love the quilting you did on the Metro pattern.
Conquered Urban Nine Patch and will link up on Friday! Now I'd love to try Metro Medallion.
Really like Metro Lattice.
I'm in love with Metro Hoops! Thanks!
Metro Meddalion is my fav. Thanks for the giveaway.
Simply amazing quilt!! WOW!! I love the pattern Deco Tumbler, but I also love the one offered, Urban Birthday! I would love to win this!! :)
I like them all but I think Metro twist is one of my favorites. Thanks for the chance.
I still like Metro Rings the best!
Metro Medallion is also my favorite of the Curve it up patterns and I just love the beautiful quilting on yours. Thanks for the chance to win.
It's so difficult to pick one pattern I like, but Metro Hoops looks fantastic! Thanks for the chance to win.
Metro rings is absolutely gorgeous. Definitely my favourite.
Love Urban Nine Patch! Your quilting is absolutely gorgeous!
love that metro twist
urban abacus -I already have the pattern. Now just need to find the time.
Love your layout on Metro Rings. It is my favorite
Very new and different patterns. I liked Deco the Halls
Your quilts always amaze me! This is my favorite pattern and your quilting is stunning.
The piecing on this quilt is fabulous but the quilting just takes it right over the top - LOVE it!!!!! Because of your quilt, now I want to make Metro Medallion, like right now!!!!!
it is hard to pick but I would say Metro Rings
Metro Twist is my favorite and the ruler would make it much easier to make.
I love curves, but will admit I'm not always comfortable with them. Plus, I'm a big advocate of rulers and tools. I'd definitely like to create with this ruler. She has many beautiful patterns, but Metro Lattice is speaking to me.

I think I like Metro Twist the best! Hard to choose from such beauty!

Urban Abacus is awesome!
Encantada com tudo!
Lindos todos!
I love the Metro Waves and Contemporary Curved Quilts. Thank you for the chance.
Love the Metro Scope, but I've got a long list of loves when it comes to their patterns!
I love Metro Hoops. It looks so complicated but I know it isn't. I would love that negative space in the center of those hoops to play in.
I like the tic tac deco!
bill_cheryl_holman at yahoo dot com
My favorite is Metro Twist!
I love the Urban Birthday and what a fabulous quilt in the fabric selection. Also nice are Metro Rings, Lattice and Medallions. Sure would make it easier with the Quick Curve Ruler.
I love that metro hoops pattern!
Metro lattice looks really nice. It's difficult to choose!
I love the Metro Rings. It is my first attempt at sewing curves and much easier than I anticipated. The online tutorials were very helpful for this visual learner
I love them all--don't have a favorite--so I can choose at random or say Metro Rings and then realize I like several others just as well. I would love to have her template and a pattern (have been thinking about them for months) and may celebrate the next little milestone in my life by getting them!
Metro Waves
Love your quilt! I went over to look at the patterns and on reading their blog as well I also saw the quilt you made from the Metro Rings pattern...simply gorgeous.. that would be my favourite pattern..as I have always loved the double wedding ring design.
Love your blog. I am just getting into modern style quilts and love the look at Sew Kind of Wonderful.
Hi,
I love Urban nine patch
Thanks
Ana
I like the Urban Nine Patch ~ Pattern #109.
OK. I'll try this. I sewed clothes for decades. I sewed in sleeves. Curves in quilts can't be harder than that. I made my own wedding dress. Why have I been acting like such a wimp? Oh, duh! Gotta get this ruler, one way or the other. All those blog hops have convinced me! Now learning to quilt like you is quite a different matter...
I love your quilt-and your special helper is pretty quilt, too! Your quilting is so incredible, girl... Really amazing, always! Thanks for the free inspiration, and the opportunity to win! Now that I've seen yours, I'd like to make a Medallion!
I love Urban Abacus! A friend made it, and it is gorgeous....love those fabrics too.
My current fave is the Metro Twist pattern...would love to win a curved ruler!
Deco Shimmer and Metro Rings are awesome!
