Boat House! But first, we must confess. We don't have a boat. Let alone a boat house. We don't even live by a lake. Or an ocean. Or any body of water you could but a boat on. But we do have a creek. Or is it a crick? My husband and I always debate that. I actually know that it is "creek", but a whole lot of people around here say "crick", so I think that's okay, too. Anyway, yesterday we went down by the creek to take photos of The Boat House.
And I also must confess that The Boat House is my favorite. I know I always say that, but really. I'm in love with this collection. Some of you may remember that a long, long time ago I blogged about how I always wanted to do a patriotic, 4th of July type collection. And my mom and sister always just rolled their eyes. Mostly because we don't want to leave out all those people outside the US that buy our fabric. So we had an idea. We could use the good ol' red, white and blue color scheme without making it too "American". So the collection turned out more nautical than patriotic, but I can still make a red, white and blue quilt for my favorite holiday!
So here it is, The Boat House.
First, the blues.
Here is my favorite print- the nautical flags.
Next, the reds.
And everything together.
And these little "flags" are actually blocks of a new quilt.
The pre-cuts are so yummy!
Now the fun part. We have a Moda pre-cut we are giving away! So if you would like to win some Boat House fabric looooong before it will be available to purchase (I'm thinking it won't come out until about January), just leave us a comment letting us know what print or colorway is your favorite in the collection.
We hope you like it as much as we do. Thanks for taking a look! And even though we don't have a lake, the creek is just as fun!
Congratulations on another fabulous collection. Love it -- all of it! As to a favorite....I like the reds, especially the numbers and anchors. (It's really perplexing because I normally don't like red.)

Oh, it's all so cute! My favorite is the multicolored stripe with the dark background. It would make a great quilt backing.

Definitely the red, but I'm far too late for the giveaway, I'm sure! I'll put this on my list though---to look forward to in January!
Posted by: Jeannie | Monday, June 09, 2014 at 09:15 AM
I always love polka dots and these look large and fun. The flag fabrics are unique too.

LOVE this line! My daughter is having her first boy in the fall and she is using a nautical theme; the blue color way would really fit the bill for the quilt I want to make for the baby. :) So my choice is BLUE! :)
Posted by: Chris | Monday, June 09, 2014 at 05:18 AM
The stripes and dots are my favorites! The colors are wonderful. We too have a little creek at our place and theses colors and patterns will make our pavilion look just perfect!

I love the one with numbers - on the jelly roll photo. Good idea to make an international 'Amercian' themed collection. From a Dane living in the UK.

Wow, what a great collection! I love the anchor red print best. Thank you for the chance of winning some of this great line!
Posted by: Cyndi | Monday, June 09, 2014 at 01:33 AM

I love the blues
Posted by: Liz Tius | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 10:31 PM
My favorite is the aqua, red and blue stripe with the white background. I love this collection, just like the rest of them!
Posted by: Patty | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 08:54 PM
Those blues are dreamy! I could swim in them all day
Posted by: Caitlin h. | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 07:29 PM
It's hard to choose. I love the dots and the print with the little stars.
Posted by: Beverly | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 06:21 PM
Great collection! I can't pick just one favorite color. I love how they work together.
Posted by: Michelle | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 05:55 PM
I love it all!! I grew up in CA, but I am raising my family in NE. I love the water!!
Posted by: Jeanne Daily | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 05:49 PM

Oh my goodness I want it all.
Posted by: Tina | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 11:46 AM
Oh my goodness....this collection is amazing! I am not sure I can choose between the blue and the red....but I will say the blue is edging out the red a little teeny tiny bit.
Posted by: Tami | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 11:09 AM
Lovely collection but my favourite is the blues
Posted by: hayley | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 10:51 AM
Oh my! You had me at the blues! What a beautiful collection!
Posted by: Gail | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 08:21 AM
Oh I love all of it... Favorite is the anchors though!
Posted by: Nicole h. | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 08:04 AM
It's beautiful, the aqua freshens up the range and off sets the red/white/blue beautifully. I love the little circular chains in the aqua, so very cute. I'm in Australia and the colour way would suit our summer in January.
Posted by: Di | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 06:51 AM
My favorite color is the light blue but I refuse to pick a favorite print! I love them all. Beautiful collection.
Posted by: Beth S. | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 05:25 AM
Definitely the blues - I'm not a red person at all
Posted by: Valerie Boudier | Sunday, June 08, 2014 at 03:02 AM
Love this collection! I really like the multicolored polka dot fabric
Posted by: Kathy | Saturday, June 07, 2014 at 10:24 PM
I'm usually a red girl, and I love the red, but I have to say the blue is my favorite in this line. The prints are so Florida (my home) and definitely calling my name.
Posted by: Patsy | Saturday, June 07, 2014 at 07:36 PM
This is fabulous and I'm totally in love. My fav would be the numbers but those red anchors are certainly making me giddy with joy! Everything you guys design is nothing but wonderfulness.
Posted by: Sharon Parker | Saturday, June 07, 2014 at 04:45 PM
I LOVE this fabric collection. My favorite of all times. I see a Moda Bake Shop project submission going inside my head.
Posted by: Kim S | Saturday, June 07, 2014 at 04:29 PM
I love the white with the print numbers on it. You guys do "print" better than anyone. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!
Posted by: R Hitchler | Saturday, June 07, 2014 at 02:11 PM

I think I love the flags best and then red - I always love your reds!
Posted by: Claudia | Friday, June 06, 2014 at 10:49 PM
I love this collection! I currently live in Las Vegas with no water and nothing but browns. These blues and red are my favorite combination. I think I love the flags print!

Great line and I can't wait to see it in the shops. I like those little tiny stars the best!
Posted by: Jennifer | Friday, June 06, 2014 at 09:01 PM
LOVE! My sales rep was in today and gave me the sneak name of your new line and lo and behold it is online to view today! I am in love with all things boat, navy, nautical. We have a new boat arriving mid July and spend much of our spare time on the Delta or at the ocean. I can't wait for this line to come out...my mind is a swirling with ideas!,
Posted by: Melissa | Friday, June 06, 2014 at 08:07 PM

By far the red colorway. Red is my color. Has been since childhood. I have so many red things. Thanks
Posted by: Charlene McCullough | Friday, June 06, 2014 at 04:16 PM
My favorites are the blues. And I am always pulled towards dots, and stripes. However, the flags on the red print are wonderful too!
