The Top 10 BEST Horror Films of 2011
Indie films continued to be where it's at: pushing boundaries, challenging conventions and putting new spins on some tired tropes. This year may prove to be even better than last in terms of quality content and the number of films which were picked up by well-known distributors.
It was extremely difficult to narrow it down to just 10. There are lots of honorable mentions that are just as much worthy of your time and attention. Without further ado, here are my top 10 best horror films from the past year.
Note: not all of these films were released this year as some were just made available stateside or they are still awaiting distribution.
10. The Bleeding House
A family looking to start anew in a small town out in the middle of Nowheresville, USA, is slowly revealed to be harboring some dark secrets. Initially, not a whole lot is known about what it is they're actually hiding. But everything is brought out into the open when an unexpected visitor, sporting some white threads from head to toe and speaking in a distinct southern drawl, comes knocking on their door. At first unassuming and charming, he soon reveals his true nature and intentions. The Bleeding House is a great psychological/home invasion thriller.
9. Fugue
A woman having recently been released from the hospital and into the care of her husband, finds herself having nightmarish visions and a supernatural haunt that doesn't want her in the new home they just moved into. This spirit becomes more and more aggressive towards her as it becomes enraged daily by her continued presence. But things move from the supernatural to the very real as we learn what actually happened to the woman and how she became injured. 'Inside' levels of brutality are unleashed as the film reaches its nerve racking climax.
8. Black Death
Set to the backdrop of the Bubonic Plague, Black Death tells the story of a young monk, tasked with leading a group of mercenaries out to the English countryside to investigate claims of a necromancer rising the dead. Along the way they have to contend with rogues which are far less of a nuisance than what they'll ultimately encounter. Upon reaching a village, they come into contact with a beautiful enchantress and come under the same spell that she's placed on it. A test of faith ensues between all, clergy and mercs alike. And just when they think they've gained the upper hand and won, it appears that she's badly skewed their perception of reality. This is one fantastic slab of gothic horror.
7. TrollHunter
TrollHunter is proof positive that the found footage/faux documentary style of filmmaking can still be fun, fresh and inventive. A group of documentary filmmakers set out to document bear killings in the Norwegian countryside. Little do they know that the actions are all a part of a coverup. They come into contact with a man who is believed to have more information about what's going on. But he soon describes the true reason of his work: to keep the world from knowing about the existence of Trolls. Some jaw dropping CGI on display here and it's remarkable for such a low budget affair. Overall, TrollHunter is a lot of fun and a sure-to-be cult classic.
6. Insidious
Finally, a haunted house film that's actually scary. A young boy is found to be unconscious by his family one morning and despite a myriad of tests, the doctors can't pinpoint the cause of his comatose state. His house appears to be under some sort of supernatural attack but how and why his home (and him in particular) is such a focal point makes for an interesting take on this well-worn sub-genre. A genuinely scary film with one of the best soundtracks to grace a horror film in recent memory.
5. Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil
Taking the 'Kids go out into the cabin in the middle of the woods' trope and completely twisting it around, Tucker and Dale is now one of my all-time favorite horror comedies. A group of kids head out to a cabin and become creeped out by of a pair of hillbilly buddies who live nearby. When one of their friends goes missing, they become prime suspects. But all they want to do is fish and drink beer and in the case of the fatter of the two, he wants to find true love. Hilarity ensues as the kids go on a rescue mission and actually become their own worst enemies and each one of them meets their untimely demise by their own hands. Tucker and Dale is laugh out loud funny. And it has plenty of gore and grue to boot.
4. Ghost From The Machine (AKA Phasma Ex Machina)
A young man, still incredibly consumed by the death of his parents, becomes obsessed with bringing them back from the dead. So much so, that he spends his days and nights devising a machine that will do so. Despite losing the affections and attention of the remaining loved ones that support him, he persists with his singular goal. After many failed attempts, he finds success and starts bringing other spirits back, ones he did not intend on. In the heartbreaking process, he learns that not all things are meant to have another life. One of the most emotional horror films I've seen all year.
3. The Innkeepers
Another haunted house film that's actually scary, The Innkeepers focuses on two hotel employees who are seeking to document the existence of a residential haunt on the last weekend of business for the storied establishment. Not much is captured at first, but the haunt soon reveals itself both in creepy voice and in form. A new age-mystic type staying for the weekend confirms the haunt via a trance as well as its true intentions. Some well timed humor and jump scares, The Innkeepers is another fantastic film from one of my favorite new-er directors, Ti West.
2. The Bunny Game
This is the film that A Serbian Film wishes it could be: brutal, unrelenting but with (ultimately) a point. The film starts off with documenting a sort of 'day in the life of' a hooker on the streets of Los Angeles. From drugging up, to selling her services, to stopping briefly just to eat something before she self-medicates again, this is a picture painted of a vicious cycle. She eventually comes into contact with a truck driver who instantly drugs her and takes her out to the California desert where he proceeds to torture and completely shame her. A totally exhaustive experience (not just for the onscreen participant but also the viewer), it's eventually revealed that there is a purpose for the truck driver's madness. The most physically draining and burned into my brain horror film I've seen all year.
1. Absentia
A film that fantastically combines both the supernatural and the surreal, Absentia will be heavy in my re-watch rotation for years to come. A woman decides to stop the search efforts for her husband after years of looking for him with nary a trace, sign or reason for his disappearance. No one knows why he suddenly up and left one day. Moving into her home is her kid sister, a recovering addict who's looking to start over. On the kid sister's morning jogs, she makes her way through a tunnel which runs underneath a freeway and out to another thoroughfare. It's soon revealed that something inhabits the tunnel and has long pulled lives into its grasp. And when the woman's husband unexpectedly re-appears, after the point he's declared legally dead, this thing comes looking for him. Part supernatural thriller, part Lovecraftian monster tale, Absentia is a unique and classic piece of filmmaking.

Awesome list, Cortez! I too named Absentia as my favorite indie flick of 2011. It was just so engaging that I even think I texted you right afterwards to thank you for the recommendation. Even non-horror fans I showed this to love this flick. Glad you mentioned IDCHTD.
Side note - Just got Tucker and Dale this week so I can't wait to check that out.
Happy New Year's, amigo!

Great list of films. It was a tough year in terms of trying to narrow down the field so I cheated and made two lists.

Awesome list CTK. I seem to not have been on that screener list for Absentia. Oh well.
Damn, The Bunny Game sounds freakin awesomelt f-uped.
I've got a lot of films to watch in 2011 it seems.
I always seem to have a hard time with my list. Moving things up and down.

Nice list, homie! A lot of films I haven't had the chance to check out yet and many of them I will certainly be on the lookout for.

Digging your list immensely, especially since The Bunny Game and Absentia are on there!

This reads as a to-do list for me; still haven't seen a lot of these. :) Thanks for compiling (I know how hard it can be to finalize just ten)

What a great list this is!
I'm absolutely setting out to see all the ones I haven't seen off this list.

Am I the only one who hated "Insidious"? Seems I am. I just do not get the hype for this movie- but oh well. Maybe it's just me...

Fantastic responses everyone. I hope you enjoy some of these as much as I did.
@The Man-Cave, let me know what you think of it. Happy new year to you as well!
@Mike, CHEATER! Just kidding. Great list my man. And I like how you split up theatrical/wide release and screener/unreleased flicks. I may have to do that next year.
@Jaded Viewer, I think the filmmaker for Absentia was pulling back on the number of screeners he was sending out (due to finalizing distribution). I'll ping him and see if I can't get one sent your way.
@Matt, thanks. I know you had a pretty strong reaction to Insidious. Have you changed your mind at all?
@Spooky Vegan, many thanks!
@B Movie Becky, have you seen Tucker and Dale yet? Right up your alley for sure.
@Dod, let me know what you think once you start going down the line. I think Absentia is still available via VOD. I think Fugue is as well. The Bunny Game is still looking for the right distributor.
@Waxdude, no sir. Plenty of folks didn't like it. See Mr. Suzaka up top. For me it was the perfect blend of haunted house scares, more than a few passing nods to Poltergeist and the phenomenal soundtrack that won me over. I can't remember a horror film in recent memory with a soundtrack that was just so jarring. The end left a little to be desired but overall, a really great flick.

I am glad that you included Matt Osterman's film as it was a true unexpected gem. I do have to check out many of the other ones.
- December 31, 2011 at 9:19 AM
- Matt-suzaka said...
I still do not really like Insidious. Actually, I never really hated it... when I watched it, a part of me loved the shit out of it, but another thought it was way over the top and overly hokey.
Unfortunately the dislike outweighs the like, but I do give the film credit for being genuinely scary and tense during certain scenes. It also looked and sounded fantastic, but alas lines like, "I call it the further!" make me want to slam my head into the wall!
I will re-watch it, though... and I am curious as to how I will react to it a second time around.
- December 31, 2011 at 4:31 PM
- Planet of Terror said...
@GenovaM9, it truly is a gem. Let me know what you think about the other films if you get a chance or are able to check them out.
@Matt, I hear ya. It was a bit hokey in parts but so were films like Poltergeist. Are you a fan of that film? It definitely harkened back to that and had more than a couple of passing nods. The only gripe I had was the use of CGI and the Darth Maul-like demon scaling the walls at the end. So cartoony.
Let me know what you think about it after a second go around.
- January 2, 2012 at 5:41 PM
- Kev D. said...
Great list... MAN, I can't wait to see "Troll Hunter".
- January 3, 2012 at 2:28 PM
- Planet of Terror said...
Kev, thank you good sir. Get on that. It's currently available via Netflix streaming.
- January 5, 2012 at 4:21 PM
This list sounds cool as shit. I just watched The Tunnel based on the first paragraph of your review, and I have subsequently bookmarked the shit outta this blog. That was a great movie.
I'm looking forward to Absentia and Trollhunters.
Insidious I liked, except for all the parts I didn't like. Rose Byrne is always good, but as others mentioned lines like "...the further" and the demon sharpening his claws on a goddamn grind stone was just... oh man, they just didn't have to do that.

Power Lunching with Eliot Spitzer, Star Jones and Joanna Coles
It's the last Wednesday power lunch of the year (or the last one ever if you believe those wacky Mayans), and the usual suspects at Michael's came bearing gifts to be traded over Cobb salads today. Some regulars (Linda Fairstein) were hosting year-end catch-ups with pals, while others (Steven Stolman) broke bread with their bosses. Of course, even if Christmas is less than a week away, there are those who mean business with lunch.
I caught up with Eliot Spitzer while he was waiting for his guest to arrive and asked him how he's faring over at Current TV. "Nobody's watching, but I'm having a great time," he told me. "I don't mean to be facetious, but I am really enjoying myself. It's like having a cocktail party with friends every night." Pausing for a moment he added, "Somebody needs to buy the network." And perhaps they will, he mused, if for no other reason than to snap up Current's distribution system. Either way, New York's former governor isn't quitting his day job, so to speak. "I'm glad all my investments are in real estate, not media companies, but if someone can make money at it, great." Indeed.
Here's the rundown on today's crowd:
1. Best-selling author Linda Fairstein, hosting her annual holiday lunch for her former colleagues from her days as head of the city's sex crimes unit. "I love doing this for these women who are all tops in their field. We've been having this lunch every year for over a decade, and for one afternoon they are treated like queens of the world," Linda told me as she placed artfully decorated gift bags at each place setting embellished with the words 'Boss Lady.' The incredible women who were taking a break from their usual daily grind of solving and prosecuting the city's most heinous crimes: New York Supreme Court Judge Ann Donnelly, Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, trial division chief; Audrey Moore, chief the Special Victims' Unit; cold case division head Melissa Mourges, who just this week got a conviction on the 'Dating Game' murder; Kerry O'Connell, chief of the trial bureau; and Martha Bashford, head of the Sex Crimes Unit. Ladies, I salute you.
2. Peter Brown
3. 'Mayor' Joe Armstrong and David Zinczenko (Happy Belated Birthday!)
4. PR scion Steve Rubenstein

Reviews for Tilapia Florentine
Sort By :
"This was fast and easy to prepare but very bland."
"As said easy recipe to become create with.....Made this many times....I use frozen spinach with the water squeezed out, add Feta cheese and this evening I am going to add grape tomatoes"
"This was good. I found that the spinach was a bit oily cooked with 4 tsp of oil. When I make this again I will cut the oil and add more seasonings. We found it to be a bit bland. I served it with carrots and mashed butternut squash."
"Outstanding! Even my anti healthy-food men gave this a thumbs up."
"Enjoyed this very much! I did tweak the recipe using lemon rather than lime juic, cajun seasoning and gruyere cheese both in the spinach mixture and on top. A good recipe to be creative with!"

WASHINGTON - Metro is proposing a $2.5 billion budget that avoids fare hikes for the coming fiscal year.
The spending plan is expected to be presented Thursday to the transit agency's board of directors.
Metro general manager Richard Sarles tells The Washington Post ( http://wapo.st/WqLgEV) that "this should be a happy time for people" since the budget proposes neither service cuts nor fare increases.
Included in the fiscal 2014 operating budget are funds to begin operating the new Silver Line and money for more limited-stop buses in parts of the region as well as for a program to manage Metro workers' fatigue.
Metro also plans to upgrade its power system and continue fixing its infrastructure.
The agency, which is facing declining ridership, expects to have a $27 million budget deficit.

Our research is focused on the cell biology and genetics of neuromuscular diseases. Mutations in desmin identified in humans cause severe muscle atrophies and cardiomyopathies associated with neuropathy. Our goal is to decipher a type of inherited desmin mutations lead to muscle and brain dysfunctions. One project evaluates how desmin mutations affect the assembly of the contractile appparatus and the neuromuscular junctions and their impact on cytoskeletal dynamics. We are also interested in defining the ultrastructural impact of desmin mutations on myofibers and the cytoskeleton by using a combination of genetic, molecular, biophysical and biochemical approaches.

Cide-Kick increases the wetting, spreading, sticking and dispersing of the chemical. Cide-Kick helps break down the waxy cuticle on the leaf surface and helps penetrate the bud and bark area (of woody brush), allowing a more effective uptake of the herbicide. Cide-Kick is a by-product of the citrus industry, a low viscosity oil and is compatible with most aquatic herbicides and algaecides. Simply mix 2 ounces of Cide-Kick for every gallon of mix (both water and chemical) you are using.To effectively treat weeds and algae, two things must happen:
Application of RedWing:
Mix in a tank sprayer. Spray target weeds directly. Treat only up to half of the pond's surface, waiting 10 to 14 days before treating the second half. In hot weather or when fish are stressed, treat 1/4 to 1/3 of the pond at a time. When treating weeds in deeper water, place the sprayer's tip beneath the water's surface.
Please remember to follow all label instructions.
Application of Cide-Kick:
Mix 2 ounces of Cide-Kick for every gallon of chemical mixture you are using.
Please remember to follow all label instructions.
Restrictions of RedWing:

I find it to be ok on small problems such as duckweed, but is not very effective on grasses or where you have a significant problem with a pond.View entire review

Did not have any affect on the underwater weeds I wanted to get rid of. This product is not worth the money.View entire review

When Bailo Rull ADD+ took on this project, one of the main problems they had to solve was how to design a social housing project with a misguided solar orientation? The masterplan called for a linear volume of 14m depth and 60m length on a north-south axis. The site was located at the edge of the city on the last block overlooking a green area to the west with an existing building to the east. This means that no morning sun reached the building, but it received the full afternoon sun. The firm couldn't very well change the lot's orientation, so they had to work with it and come up with a solution to keep the building from overheating.
The firm came up with a workaround solution that would block the afternoon sun, but at the same time provide a visual connection from each apartment to the green space across the street. They designed a brise soleil handrail on the west side set 2 meters away from the building by private deck space. Made with perforated aluminum panels, the brise soleil blocks the summer sun from entering the apartments, but is spaced to allow winter sun to reach in. A careful analysis and design of the west facade ensures that all the apartments still have views and natural daylighting, but won't be cooked by the sun.

It certainly does not look like a social housing project, more like a design house! So congratulations on that. My only question would be how sustainable the materials would be, as one could imagine that tear might be slightly higher with people moving in and out more frequently?

Andrew Mollenbeck,
WASHINGTON - The days surrounding Thanksgiving are some of the year's busiest on the roads, and a survey suggests more drivers will have their eyes on their phones instead of the lanes around them.
"We are definitely seeing an increase in the number of drivers who report using their phones to access the Internet while driving," says Chris Mullen, director of technology research for State Farm.
The annual report on distracted driving finds "troubling results," while noting more drivers own smart phones, presenting additional opportunities for diversion.
The July survey of nearly 1,000 drivers shows distracted driving has grown well beyond text messages and often includes using the Internet, reading social media posts and checking email.
"It's not just young drivers who are guilty of distracted driving. This report shows us that using a cellphone while driving is increasing for all ages," Mullen says.
Tracy Cooper, a local business owner, feels the need to stay connected while on the road.
"I do check email, and I text while I'm driving," she says. "I am guilty."
While filling up his car in Montgomery County, Jeremy Kugel said he sees the use of cellphones most at traffic lights.
"Person to my left, person to my right both doing something on the phone," he says. "I'm not sure what it is."
Among the survey's findings:
For drivers 18 to 29:
- 48 percent accessed the Internet while on a cellphone in 2012, compared to 29 percent in 2009.
- 36 percent read social media networks while driving in 2012, up from 21 percent in 2009.
- 30 percent updated their social networks while driving in 2011, compared with 20 percent in 2009.
- 43 percent checked email while driving in 2012. In 2009, 32 percent did.
For all drivers, the data showed:
- More people own smartphones, but older drivers are less likely to be on the web while driving.
- 21 percent accessed the Internet while on a cellphone in 2012, up from 13 percent in 2009.
- 15 percent read social media networks while driving in 2012, compared with 9 percent in 2009.
- 13 percent updated their social networks while driving, up from 9 percent in 2009.

Mini JCW GP to be hatchback only, no 'Ring record attempt in sight
by Jeffrey N. Ross (RSS feed) on Nov 14th, 2012 at 6:00PM
The 2013 Mini John Cooper Works GP is dropping weight and lowering its lap times, but one thing it won't be losing is its flat roof. Like the original JCW GP package, Evo says that despite the fact that sportier Mini Coupes have been caught testing, the new GP will only be offered in the three-door Cooper hatchback body style. And that's perfectly fine with us. Evo spoke with GP development chief Jorg Weidinger who said that as a part of the car's history, "It was a hatch, it is a hatch and it should stay a hatch."

Your Rating
My dachshund has a very sensitive stomach but loves his rawhide. I have to watch how much he gets at one time so I was happy to find these SmartBones for him to try. He really likes the peanut butter flavor and I really like that they don't make my carpet a mess while he's chewing. So far he hasn't had any problem digesting this bone. They are also just the right size for him. I'll be ordering more of these in the future. (Posted on 4/27/13)

April showers would be my pick, thanks!ReplyDelete
I would pick acacia and belle. Reunion is my favourite fabric line so I'm guessing wishes will be pretty special. hayleymstephens at gmail dot comReplyDelete
I would choose Chance Of Showers...thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Color me happy by V and Co. would be my pick with coordinating solids. What a lovely old man you encountered, I feel braver about photography in the wild now!ReplyDelete
Misspbar at hotmail.com
such great color!ReplyDelete
Oh, I LOVE April Showers! I can just envision a quilt using those charm packs and Kona Snow Solids!ReplyDelete
Looks like a great pattern! I would choose Giggles--I think it would be a great project for my daughter to make for herself and Giggles is perfect for her (I can always pick out her giggle when she's in a crowd of girls!) Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
Nice pattern showcasing the different prints in a collection!ReplyDelete
I'd choose Mixed Bag for a nice bright quilt for a child, with an orange or light blue solid, I think.
Eclectic Elements caught my eye. Great quilt and such a generous giveaway! Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Hm...I'd pick either Sphere or Color Me Happy. Maybe with a grey solid? Although I saw someone else made a Valentines Day one that was pretty cute, too! I really like your use of red solid - I'm on a mission to use more color and less white!ReplyDelete
As the old chap said, 'Good on you!' I know the choice: looking strange taking a photograph of a blanket in a public park or taking a photo inside a dark house.ReplyDelete
Amy butler - Belle. Or Joel Dewberry - Botanique. I have a full cart sitting at FQS and that little browse did not help! Lol.ReplyDelete
E xx
How awesome. I love that this is a quilt I could make! Thank you for a generous giveaway. I'd pick Daydreams by Kate Spain! Thanks!ReplyDelete
Looks like a pattern my little neighbor could manage. She completed her first quilt in Nov. My choice is the quilt for a cause collection: Love and ( the other one I forgot already) with natural solidsReplyDelete
Hahaha -- your picture taking story made me laugh. I always wonder what people think when we're out taking pictures of our quilts. My neighbor already thinks I'm nuts, so it probably doesn't matter. I love your Wishes quilt Amy!ReplyDelete
V and Co.'s Simply Style or Color Me Happy! I really love her color! Charm Pack Cherry pattern would make for a quick sew up and an enjoyable time doing it! Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I would pick Sphere and a blue/turquoise solid to go with it. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
I think I'd pick Red Hots Bali Snaps Hoffman Fabrics and a black solid charm pack. jen dot barnard at btinternet dot comReplyDeleteReplies
Oops, I forgot to ask if the competition is open internationally or not - I'm in the UK.Delete
Botanics! And Mormor!ReplyDelete
Great story about the biking man! I'm shy about public pictures with my projects too. Glad to hear they're appreciated!
e dot chesebrough at gmail dot com
I think I would like to try Hubba Hubba. I could then gift it to a special little girl.ReplyDelete
Ooooh, so many choices! I think I'd choose the Darlene Zimmerman's Classic Mini's. Your quilt is beautiful. I'm nervous about taking pictures "in the wild' too, especially because we live in a small town. Great story though. Maybe we should be out and about more often, then more people could appreciate our lovely blankets.ReplyDelete
Road 15 and bluegrass konaReplyDelete
You live in an amazing state....get out there and take photos wherever you want...bonus is the little biking men you meet!:) xoReplyDelete
Sweet Serenade and a parchment and seafoam green kona!:)
I would choose Barcelona Charm Pack by Zen Chic. thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I would have to choose 2 of the Tanya Whelan charm packs...love the designs for shabby rag quilts...Rosey and Sunshine Rose.ReplyDelete
I think Kate Spain's Daydreams prints and Summer Kona solids collection would make a fantastic quilt for my almost 3 year old. This seems like such a fun pattern, I can't wait to try it.ReplyDelete
April Showers, for sure!!ReplyDelete
I would choose Sphere with Bella Silver - I need to make a boys quilt!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win!!! It's beautiful.ReplyDelete
I love the April Showers.ReplyDelete
I love the way you photographed the quilt. "good on you"ReplyDelete
I would pick Chantilly Charm Pack
Lauren & Jessi Jung for Moda Fabrics
Boho would be my charm pack of choice.ReplyDelete
I am liking the April Showers!ReplyDelete

I would choose April Showers! Great quilt pattern!ReplyDelete
April Showers! Darling Quilt pattern. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing such a great quilt! I would choose country girl or April showers.ReplyDelete

Totally April Showers with silver Bella Solids...so cute!ReplyDelete

I love this quilt! My pick would be April Showers. I love what the old man said! How cute!ReplyDelete
must use daydreams by kate - love that lineReplyDelete
Wow, love the pattern! I would choose the Botanics charm pack. Thanks!ReplyDelete
April showers for me:)ReplyDelete
I like the prints, but currently am running low on solids! So, ....einy meinie minie mow. I would pick the solids. :)ReplyDelete
Kona solids and April showers for a quilt!ReplyDelete
I would choose April Showers and a coordinating solid. Thanks for the chance.ReplyDelete
I would pick 2 Snow Bella solid charm packs and 2 Ladies' Album Charm Packs. I would love to make my own charm pack cherry quilt from those fabrics. Your quilt is lovely.ReplyDelete
I'd love to make this with Botanics! I'm thinking with black as the coordinating solid. I think all the low volume prints in Botanics would pop against the stark black.ReplyDelete
Great video and a wonderful pattern for making a quilt in a short amount of time. Thank you. I would use Sphere and a blue solid (my favourite, of course.)ReplyDelete
April Showers, definitely--I fell in love with that line the first time I saw it!ReplyDelete
Kate Spain's Daydreams!ReplyDelete
This is the perfect pattern for me to use as a beginning quilter! It also would make a perfect gift for me to give to someone whom I owe a debt of gratitude for a wonderful act of kindness. I would choose the April Showers charm pack and probably a solid red to go with it. That combination seems to fit the person to whom I would give the quilt.ReplyDelete
I love the pattern so simple but very pretty! Love the charm packet Florence...ReplyDelete
Whimsical and lovely. I'd chose April Showers.ReplyDelete
Great pattern and much less cutting than I tought!ReplyDelete
I would pick Lovey Dovey and Bella Solids White for this Quilt =)
oh i really love the Happy-go-lucky by Bonnie&Camille for Moda and the Natural Bella Solids!!! thank you for this giveaway!!ReplyDelete
I've got a Fig Tree color scheme going on at my house.... I'd do this quilt out of Mirabelle..... but it would obviously look good w/ any prints-- I love it!!!ReplyDelete
Love your Wishes quilt! I would pick April Showers and Moda Bella white charm packs.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the fun giveaway.
Nice you had a bike rider quilt admirer :0) I would pick sunnyside by Kate Spain probably with an egg robin solid pack and a sandcastle charm pack!!! I am so ready for warmer weather!ReplyDelete
Cute quilt! I'd choose Road 15 and Kona Snow.ReplyDelete
Cute quilt! I would pick Heather Bailey's Lottie Da and Kona Snow.ReplyDelete
I love this in wishes! If choose the same wishes charms but switch up the red charms for some matching blue ones. After all I do live in a house with all boys and the blue would make it the perfect picnic quilt for this summer.ReplyDelete
I would love to win "Surprise" by BoBunny.
Hard to narrow it down, but I think April Showers. Possibly Macaron Bali Snaps.ReplyDelete
Love the new pattern, I'd love to win Daydreams Charm Packs by Kate Spain with Ash solids!ReplyDelete
I want to make this quilt! I like Giggles by Me and My Sister. Thanks.ReplyDelete
That's a really cool quilt!ReplyDelete
Color Me Happy and Blue Bella Solids look like they would go well together.
Hi Amy - thank you for the chance. I'd pick Malam Batiks with a complimentary cream-batik assortment without a doubt! Lovely!ReplyDelete
I love the sphere prints with a navy solid. Thanks for the giveaway. I would say wishes but I am already making several projects from that line.ReplyDelete

Tula Pink is what I'd like, with solids to match. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Color Me Happy is on my list of what I want to buy when I pledged not to buy any new fabric! Thanks for the chance! I love that you used red as the background too!ReplyDelete
I would love the 30's Playtime 2 and a solid color to compliment the other colors. You know it's really hard to narrow it down to one! Thanks for the fun give away!ReplyDelete
Hmmm. They have such an excellent assortment. I'd go with 'Little Black Dress 2' by BasicGrey and 'On Time' by Whistler Studios for the print packs and for solids I'd splash with color using Berry Kona Solids and New Pastel Kona Cotton Solids. Wheee..Now I need to look away before I spend money I don't have! Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I love the quilt! The charm packs is a hard choice, there are so many awesome ones. But I think it would be Baby Jane and then gray and white bella solids to coordinate with it.ReplyDelete
I watched this video last night - very cute. I like the red fabric you picked for your interpretation. Thanks for putting my name in the hat for the drawing. Fingers crossed. This is such a nice quilt would be something to actually be able to finish!ReplyDelete
Oh I loved looking through all the fabrics. I would choose HonkyTonk. Thanks for the giveaway. Blessings and smiles, Emilou :-)ReplyDelete
Very cute pattern and lovely version by you. I think I'd pick Mormor, but maybe Ansonia. Not sure of the coordinating solids, I'd have to maybe rely on them for that. Love them both. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I would choose Country Girls by Tasha Noel for the prints and Moda Silver for the solid.ReplyDelete
Good timing on this giveway. I need to think about a charity quilt for the guild and this would be perfect.
I'm rubbish in putting colours together which is why I usually buy FQ bundles, jelly rolls etc. I like Moda's colour me happy which I am guessing might go nicely with the silver Bella solids. Thanks for the chance of winning some lovely stuff!ReplyDelete
I would choose four different packs and I would supply the solids or blenders.ReplyDelete
1. April Showers
2. Bee My Honey
3. Botanics
4. Country Girls
Definitely chance of flowers with kona sand castle, I would like to incorporate a coral color solid but I can't seem to find one. Cute, cute.ReplyDelete
What a cute pattern. I like the primary perfection line that is coming out soon. Thank you for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
I love the Pepe in Paris 7" Stacker - mais oui!ReplyDelete
Botanique and moda silver charmsReplyDelete
I would choose Ansonia by Denyse Schmidt and before I second guess myself - Black Bella Solids. This will be my 4th quilt. I am just beginning to get back into sewing since high school.... many years ago. I think I am addicted to all fabric :)ReplyDelete
I would choose Bahama Blue Solid and Color Me Happy Charm packs.ReplyDelete
I would choose Rosey Charm Pack by Tanya Whelan for Free Spirit Fabrics. It would make a beautiful quilt for my next great granddaughter due in May.ReplyDelete
How fun! I think I'd go for Mixed Bag with Kona White.ReplyDelete
I would select Roundup, a Riley Blake fabric. It is a completely adorable selection of cowboy prints, in both "boy" and "girl" colorways.ReplyDelete
I would choose Bartholo-Meow's Reef with either a white or blue solid.ReplyDelete
Barcelona would be adorable!ReplyDelete
I would use Daydreams by Kate Spain and pair it with some solids from the new Dusty Kona solids and the new Classic Kona soilds. It is such a sweet pattern that would look great in so many different styles of fabrics!ReplyDelete
I really would love Honky Tonk so cute!!! Love your site and tutorials!! They have saved me or answered questions in the wee hours of the morning.ReplyDelete
Thanks for being fabulous!!

kelley (at) jaynet (dot) net
I would probably choose April Showers with red solids!ReplyDelete

Something new to me... Serena with white. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
I think I might be naughty and do what the lady above did and choose four prints--Color me Happy, April Showers, and 2 sphere! I', feeling guilty, I would probably end up doing April Showers and red and blue solids, or red and snow white. Thanks for the giveaway, and I really do love your quilt.ReplyDelete

Chantilly by Lauren & Jessi Jung :)ReplyDelete

how to choose? I love all the moda collections- mirabelle, april showers 25th and pine are my faves!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your version. I am always surprised and very pleased when someone uses a "neutral" that is not whitish. It's inspiring to see the red. I'm still not so bold myself so I would choose the lace tonga treat as my solid and volcano bali snaps as my print. Did I mention I like batiks?ReplyDelete
My choice would be Chantilly. Thank you for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Chance of flowers would be my choice. Thank you for the give away.ReplyDelete
It certainly would not hurt my feelings if Country Girls showed up in the mail! And I love your version done w/ the Wishes line. I'm currently doing a BOM with the same fabric & love it!ReplyDelete
Summer Lovin' Spot On - I am obsessed with polka dots!!! They always find a way into whatever I am sewing!ReplyDelete

I like the Macaron Bali Snaps with the kool-aid Bali snapsReplyDelete
contentncm at yahoo dot com

I would choose Color Me Happy Charm Pack and Silver Bella Solids Charm Pack!!ReplyDelete
I would love to use April Showers for a fun quilt like this. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Love your Wishes quilt and I would love to win April Showers!!!ReplyDelete
I like the bright red with the more muted aqua. Seems like a great way to use those charm packs so that it doesn't look too perfectly square. The comment from the biker-adorable!ReplyDelete
I'd go for the Barcelona Charm pack and a coordinating dark grey solidReplyDelete
Love the quilt. Pick just 1? Tough choice. I love both Daydream and Color Me Happy. I guess if I'm lucky enough to win, I'd have to make a decision.ReplyDelete
