It seems so sad that today is the final day of the Spell it with Fabric blog hop.

By now you have 26 letters, 9 numbers and some fun punctuation patterns.

You have received some ideas on different things the designers did with their letters.

Edyta put her daughters name on the back of the quilt with some of the letters.

Bunny Hill appliqued on top of her pieced letter.

Minick and Simpson appliqued their letter and made it into a zippered bag.

Fig Tree pieced her letter using mini charms.

Kathy Schmitz embroidered on her letter.

French General turned her letter into a welcome banner.

Me and My Sister crack me up with their post.

Each of the designers made an extra block and we assembled it into our very own

special ABC quilt for the President of Moda.

These are just a few of the ways the ABC patterns could be used.

What was your favorite use of the letters?

The finished ABC blocks measure 8 x 10 before adding sashing.

Here are the instructions in case you missed them.

The filler blocks are 8 x 8 so some spacers are added so they are the same size as the ABC's. Use the filler blocks supplied here or create your own. Link here.

The finished quilt as shown here measures 59 1/2" x 68 1/2".

Download the final layout instructions, here.

Are you sad the hop is over? No worries, the designers are already working on their next hop project. The Entire Moda team hope you enjoyed this project as much as we did creating it for you. Now is the time to circle back to each of the designers blogs where all the giveaways are announced.

see if you were one of the lucky ones.

That pillow is simply stunning - love, love, love it! My choices for fabric run the gamut from civil war repros to the simple red, white and black. It depends on what my plans are for the quilt - for instance, once granddaughter wants all pink, another purple. I just go with the flow. :) blessings, marlene

Bundle will be shipped april when this new collection arives.

thanks so much moda and your awesome designers ...you all have my dream job.....this is the third blog hop I have followed ....friendship quilt along....size matters....to be honest when I saw this was letters my first thought was boring....but once I saw all the ideas and watched the video of all the designers I fell in love....I particularly liked sandy gervais' quilt that she reduced and made into a wall hanging....is there a formula that you could share for those of us that may want to try that...thanks again dee from the fridgid east

Ya I know. I was worried that the Abc's would be limited but have no fear they all did a great job. Sandy gervais supplied a pattern for her wallhanging. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5g0gl1m8shqafek/UR_MYSUNSHINE.pdf and since the letters measure 8 x 10 finished you would just make the wallhanging as wide as how many letters used. Hers is 16" wide since she used 2 letters, etc etc hope this helps.

Hi, I have all the letters but R. I was unable to find it. I think it should have been on the Moda blog. But the site has changed.
