Same Pattern Challenge! - Coordinating 3-Yards of Fabric!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such lovely fabric and fun quilt patterns! Thanks for sharing!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@jillchamberlain6478]

Great fun, and educational to see the different fabrics to be made up in the same pattern.

[@ellischaefer6949]

Love John's Beary Nice - really shows the bear paw! Fun show!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@GeminiPeg]

You all are funny. All the choices are great BUT, Donna’s Dancing Bears stole the show. Fran’s windmill and John’s second one( chocolate!) we’re my next favorite. Thanks for an entertaining show of how one pattern can look so different in different fabrics. Next challenge: same fabric, different patterns, I don’t remember that’s been done.😊❤️

[@FabricCafe]

Great suggestion! Let's see what we can do. Thanks! Donna

[@juliemcgill4758]

Great family feud!!! My vote goes Fran, Fran and then John. You've got some great kids there Donna 😉

[@shirleythomas6377]

I would like to see a Christmas and fall challenge. You guys rock

[@FabricCafe]

What a great idea! We already have most of our shows planned for this quarter. But lets see what we can do. Donna

[@deloresrast8543]

How fun!!!! I love it!!! I like when you have pieces and parts so I can see how it goes together. I must have missed color wheel day at school because I have the hardest time putting fabric colors together. Thank you all for a great and fun tutorial!!!

[@dottieritzen7915]

You all are so much fun to watch while learning at the same time. So glad I just found you on you tube.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Dottie! We have a great time together! So glad you found us! Donna

[@juliemorrison4348]

Donna you taught them well. All beautiful but Fran has my vote today. I love batiks, blues and black and pink is a pretty combination ❤🇦🇺

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@sarahammond3805]

Jon, liked your Beary Nice, Fran, yours was next w/that pattern. Donna, really liked Shining Hearts Windmill pattern. Fran, really liked Delft Blue w/Corner Play pattern. Great job each of you. It was tough to decide who won in each pattern. What fun!!

[@cherylcordova3077]

Windmills- John Corner Play- Fran Dancing Bear-Donna Thanks for wonderful videos showcasing your new fabrics. I love sewing your patterns because they are very easy to do and the end product looks so beautiful! Plus I enjoy the lap size because I’m not having to work weeks to get a quilt finished.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@nanaminer875]

You guys are so cute together, what a fun family!!!!

[@patriciahartman4687]

John takes the dancing bears, have to be honest he won because of the pieces and parts really showed the beauty.

[@celestaduchesneau3032]

I would like to see the completed quilts side by side to judge them as a whole, not just pieces. Maybe next week?

[@joseanker2059]

My thoughts exactly!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks for the suggestion. It would be great if we could. Donna

[@emmonstrex65]

Gonna have to give this one to John. I was surprised at how much I liked his chocolate line (I am NOT a brown person) and his Dancing Bear Claw. Always wonderful videos ❤🪡🧵

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks Patti! Donna

[@karentzn]

Ooohhhh John you are very descriptive when describing your fabric choices. Purple ☔️☑️. Donna I’m loving your green/orange ✔️. Don’t worry Fran your dancing paw fabric is absolutely stunning ✔️Ballerina Bears☑️. This was such fun. Thank you everyone

[@FabricCafe]

And thank you for your comment! Donna

[@anitanoland9188]

Pretty fabrics for each of the selections-which makes it hard to decide. As always, enjoyed watching your video!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks for watching! Donna

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

John's choice of the brown/gold batiks for Cornerplay is wonderful. Very different!

[@carolynbrookter3231]

That was fun to watch. Luv y’all

[@mary2240]

Love John’s dancing bear, Beary Nice.

[@FabricCafe]

Awesome! Donna

[@karenraabis5296]

I would love to see all Christmas. I also love when you do bits and pieces. I have several books and every time it makes me pull one out!I wish I had seen the blocks made with the other 2 also. Difficult to choose but the first one is Purple rain. On the second one I love the Dogwood. It was beautiful and made me want to make it. I may have to pick that one up! The 3rd one is Ballerina Bears. I can’t help but to keep saying how easy you make it look when you show us the way you put them together. Thank you!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you for your feedback and votes! So glad you watch! Donna

[@joanncall1525]

I would have to say that Donna took the first round for me. It is because I love the hearts fabric, and the pink and purple. All are my favorites. On the next round I liked both Fran's and John's equally. This is because I loved the blue's of Fran's, and I loved the brown batiks of John's fabrics. Both were just so beautiful to me. Then on the last round I think both Donna and Fran won together. I loved the batiks that Donna chose, and on Fran's I loved the hot pink with the black & white. When you lined up all three together of the bear claw Fran's bear claw looked like it had pink nail polish on it. Which made me smile! Love your challenge video's.

[@brendasutterfield9834]

I'm voting for Donna to win. She is rocking the best colors for the Quilts. Love you Donna 💖💖💖💖💖 you are going to win 💕💕💕💕💕 love it 💕😘😘☺️

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks Brenda! Donna

[@brendasutterfield9834]

My vote is for Donna's quilts.

[@bonnieedenfield4628]

I liked John’s better because the fabric reminds me of the traditional bear. But I also loved Fran’s and Donna’s. Great. job!

[@tomm.5381]

A little late but i love Frans bear paw! Also loved Donnas first quilt done in all purples

[@MartyLawless-kh2jd]

You guys are so creative with the kit names!

[@FabricCafe]

We try our best 🤣🥰

[@sandradummer4726]

There all so beautiful. I’m having trouble here deciding.

[@rhondawaldron]

Love them All! Y'all are trying to break my bank LOL! Pieces and Parts really "sell it" to me! The All blue windmill by Fran is my favorite

[@rhondawaldron]

Corner Play Fran and the blue again, Dancing bears was the hardest to choose Donna takes that one by a nose lol

[@FabricCafe]

@@rhondawaldron Thanks! Donna

[@debbymccauley4774]

Windmill- Donna Corner Play-John Dancing Bears-Donna In each category, the above choices were my preference. All were very nice, Fran's Blue Delft almost swayed my vote. Your all winners. Thanks for great tutorial!

[@charlenecastaldo3602]

Windmill - Fran Corner Play - Fran Dancing Bear - Donna Now my husband might make other choices. He's a quilter, too. Thanks for the fun video! Love your patterns and all your videos.

[@FabricCafe]

@@charlenecastaldo3602 Thanks!

[@sharonlukatch2711]

What a fun show! I just love seeing you all working together. It is so helpful to see these patterns in a variety of fabrics. Often seeing the pattern in different fabrics can inspire. My votes are: Donna’s hearts for Windmill, Donna’s Dogwood for Corner Play, John’s Civil War fabrics for Dancing. Bears.

[@cliffordcarroll9320]

I loved the Berry bears and the chocolate… gotta count my pennies to see if I can fit one into the budget. Had so much fun watching this program… like watching a comedy/ movie.. but I learn so much. Great instructions.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@debraholmes6290]

Loved them all. You made it hard this time, however, Shining Hearts, Dreaming of Chocolate, & Ballerina Bears are my choices!

[@marycreed-pallone9732]

I second those choices! But they were all great!

[@celineruiz3930]

I love, love all of them. I have to vote for the pink bear paw with Fran cuz I love, love pinks!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@connieweeks5568]

They are all beautiful but really have to go with John for number 3 the bear claw. That is so my colours. I did love all the kits and patters. You are all amazing and you taught them well.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@brendasutterfield9834]

Hello from New Mexico, USA. I love your fabric selection challenge videos. Winners are: Shining Hearts (Donna), Dogwood Trails (Donna), and Beary Nice (John). Please do a Staff Fabric Selection Challenge using BYSANTINE DOOR QUILT PATTERN. Thank you for sharing.

[@hillarymacabare1820]

For the windmills I love Fran’s choice. For the corner play John wins with the chocolate. And for the dancing bear paws they all look fabulous but Donna wins. I love these videos please keep making them!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks Hillary! Donna

Windmill. Fran Corner play. John Dancing bears. Donna This was fun

[@mimid3470]

I love your challenge videos! This is great and I also love the Dancing Bears pattern. I can't decide- they are all winners :)

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@marcellacoblentz8433]

Very difficult to choose. Really loved all the colors but chose Donna’s for Windmill, Fran’s for Corner play and Fran’s for Dancing Bears. Loved her vibrant blue and vivid pink but they were all winners!👌

[@micheleh4016]

Windmill- Donna (love those brights) Corner Play - Fran (she does love her blues) Bear Paw - Donna

[@estelasteele1173]

Dancing Bears is my favorite pattern from the new book too! For the first challenge, my choice is Donna's : Shining Hearts; For the second challenge, my choice is John's: Dreaming of Chocolate, and in the final challenge, my choice is Fran's: Ballerina Bears. All the options were good, but these three really caught my eye. I love the challenge videos! So much fun!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@carolynmcmath494]

Donna won the first one and Fran won the last two. Love the blue so much and the black and pink is so striking. Switching out the pink for a teal would be great, too!

[@FabricCafe]

Teal would be awesome!

[@Melanie-vy4zj]

I vote: John for the first segment, Donna for the 2nd, and Fran for #3. Great job, family!

[@robintaylor8421]

This is a hard one, but my choice is 1- Fran, 2-Fran and 3- John. Love them all.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks!

[@sherryking7817]

Hard to decide I have to admit I like them all.

[@paulasmith6169]

Love all but, I like Johns choices Dreaming 💭 of Chocolate and Beary Nice. I am a dark chocolate fan. Go John 😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@sharonlyman3029]

1st one was a 3 way tie for me. 2nd one, I chose John for #1 but Donna for #2. 3rd, I loved Fran's pink whimsey, but have to tell you the Kaffe model is just so gorgeous! John's is soooo masculine. What fun!

[@FabricCafe]

It is fun to see the variety you can get from each pattern! Thanks! Donna

[@MagicHeide]

I vote for Windmill: Donna, Fran's Blue Delft got me next, And John's Beary Nice dancing bear narrowly beats out Donna's batiks.

[@robynmorris7945]

Windmill - tie Donna / John Corner Play - John Dancing Bears - Fran Enjoyed this very much…..Thank you

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@missmix48]

Set one the blue & white batiks Fran had, set 2 the chocolate from John, #3 Timberland Waltz from Donna, You all did great

[@bonniechretien6215]

Y’all make it very difficult to pick . Loved all the patterns and I’m partial to “Dogwood Trails”, “Blue Delft “ and I loved all three fabric choices for the Dancing Bear quilts.

[@jackiebeatty3801]

Loved them all, great color choices, but I’m gonna have to go with all of John’s, my favorite colors are green and purple, I really loved the chocolate colors and his choice in the 3rd was beautiful together…

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@nwanyithurs]

I enjoy the challenges, vote for John for Corner Play and Donna for Dancing Bears.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@kathybowser1001]

You are so much fun to watch. All your fabric combinations were stunning and very difficult to pick the ones I liked best but I will do it: Windmill- Donna, Corner play - Fran, Dancing bears - Donna. Good luck

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@suehorn4182]

Windmill - John - purple rain Corner play - Fran - love the blue (excelled with her demonstration) Dancing bears - Fran Donna, you are the true winner having TWO great children

[@FabricCafe]

Awww, thank you! I totally agree! What a blessing to have talented children to help run the business! Donna

[@dianemiller9050]

Dancing bear pattern is my favorite and I liked John’s fabric for it.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you! Donna

[@jackiescarborough1001]

I’m partial to bright fabrics but I have to say I liked John’s Beary Nice. But hard to choose overall because I liked all the options

[@dianedebord5309]

Windmill Morgan, corner play. Donna and John , dancing beats Donna

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@connieferrell4432]

As always, your fabrics are awesome. I got my newest book today. I have all of them except the fat quarter book. I must catch up.

[@FabricCafe]

Awesome! Donna

[@johnsfam1522]

Windmill pattern: Donna Corner play: Fran Dancing Bears: John I love the fabrics each person chose.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@jylromain6439]

Windmill:Donna #1 . Corner Play:Fran...gorgeous colors. Dancing Bears: Donna But you all picked great color combinations.

[@carolbrumlow4395]

John's Dancing Bears is my vote for the third.

[@helenmanning8066]

Sorry, ladies, but John has my vote on every pattern kit. Donna and Fran came really close as I love bright batiks, but I got to say John's choices captured my imagination. That is the very good thing about these challenges, showing us different ways to view patterns and the varied looks of fabric choices. Good job, all of you, each gave my mind a starting place. Many times I go back to these videos for inspiration.

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you Helen! I appreciate your feedback! Donna

[@gladysrivera3579]

Love Donna’s windmill. I like John’s Beaty Nice that fabric surprised men. I like Fran’s

[@gladysrivera3579]

I like Fran’s Corner Play blue fabric.

[@mimimitchell1119]

Windmill - Doona, Corner Play - John, Dancing Bears - Fran.

[@nwanyithurs]

I like the purples that Donna had.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@roseparr7919]

I like that Johns choices were more masculine. I have a hard time finding quilt patterns and fabric combinations for men. Thanks for doing this challenge.

So glad you found the Challenge helpful!

Wonderful choices. Hard to pick winners.

[@donashackelford4439]

I have to confess I love all Donna's choices best.

[@claudialautenslager8695]

set 1 - shining hearts. Set2 - blue delft Set 3 Beary nice.

[@wjoyes]

With the Windmill pattern I have to go with Donna’s colour scheme. Corner Play was tough to pick - Fran’s blue just beats Donna’s orange. Dancing Bears goes to Fran (with John 2nd).

[@cardsbyjo81]

Windmill - John Corner Play - Fran Dancing Bears - Donna

Thanks! Donna

[@cindygrenier4433]

I have to say John wins all three quilt design colors for me.

I liked Donna’s fabric on the last challenge

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@carolbrumlow4395]

Fran's Blue Delf is my vote for the second one.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks! Donna

[@homesteaderfiftywmartha603]

Funny because my kids always want to same fabric!! Baha

[@HuberHans]

I'm going to give my voting in ranking order with my complete personal opinion 🤗😎 Windmills: 1. Donna - in her choice of fabric the windmills just pop; 2. Is a tie between Fran and John. Fran - I would place the fabrics in a bit different order 😉 to make the windmills a bit more prominent 🤷‍♀️ John - I would change the order here, too. Corners: 1. Fran's choice makes the quilt crispy and modern. 2. Sorry Donna, the fabrics are pretty, but not really my cup of tea in this case. 3. John - I love 😍 the focus fabric, but the other 2 are just ... nah Dancing bears: The pattern isn't one of my favorites, so it was kind of hard for me to envision. Anyway here my is my vote: 1. Fran - I like the sassy twist with the pink 😁 2. John - I do have a bit of overall problem with the Civil War colors (even as I adore them in the right surrounding), but his choices are definitely more "bearly" 😉 and I can imagine the finished quilt as something to cozy up in. 3. Again sorry Donna, but your favorite color green is my least favorite one ... Take care everybody - Europe ⚘ Edit: I had to correct as I mixed up the selections, Sorry

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks for your feedback! I love knowing why you like things. Donna

[@patkressin6990]

Think windmill Donna, corner play John dancing bears Fran
