We first heard about Dear Stella about a year ago and we eagerly awaited the debut of this new fabric house at International Quilt Market last October. And we weren’t disappointed! The colors are fresh and the patterns exciting. We just loved the variety and how well the different lines complemented each other. It was Quilt Nirvana. So we asked if we could feature an original quilt made from one of the lines and here we have the results made from the Heirloom collection. Thank you, Dear Stella, for your work and for letting us share this with our readers.
Oh, and guess what? The giving just keeps on giving. Tell us what you think about the Heirloom collection below in the comments section and we’ll give away a 15-piece fat quarter stack of Heirloom. Winner will be chosen at random and announced on Saturday’s post. And we’ll notify you by email, so please include your email address when asked. It doesn’t show up on the general comment section but does tell us how to track you down.

Fresh & lovely!
Gorgeous! I saw a Dear Stella ad in a print magazine and went to their website IMMEDIATELY! Can’t wait to see it in person.
Thanks for the pattern inspiration. I really like the flow of all these blues together against the white. The florals are especially cute. Some of the fabrics I recently got from the J’adore Stella collection would go really well with these too.
I pinned this on Pinterest. It does make me think of beautiful blue and white china patterns.
It’s quite elegant.
As a former china dinnerware junkie (owning over 8 sets at once!), I absofreakinglutely love this pattern/quilt. It pays wonderful homage to the flow blue/blue willow patterns of yesteryear! Love it! Love it! Love it!
love the collection. It is so crisp and clean. Beautiful quilt. simple yet very striking
thanks for the give away
Oh that is such a gorgeous quilt… im in love! That fabric is so stunning and icy (which i love, i love snow and ice and cold)!!!
Wow! Reminds me of delft china, which I love! What a great look!
Love the fabrics!
Absolutely gorgeous! I just love white and blue – so classic, but I love the modern twist in the pattern!
This collection is beautiful… I am a fan of blue and white – delft china – type colors, and they have not always been easy to come by in quilting fabric. The large areas of white in the quilt really make the blues look so fresh!
I love the blue and white color combinations. It reminds me of my mother’s favorite china and the small collection she displayed on the wall in our house as I was growing up, so this really is an Heirloom memory for me!
This collection is heaven. I’m a blue and white lover from way back. Reminds me of antique china, scandinavian designs (clean and crisp), the ocean, and oriental antique kimonos. Just lovely.

I just love this fabric with white! Very nice.
I thought this collection had some beautiful prints when I first saw it, but some were a little dating to blend with what I usually do. This is a beautiful modern way to feature ALL of the prints, and I love it!
Blue and white looks so fresh together – and I don’t have much blue in my stash. My daughter loves blue so this collection would be perfect in a quilt for her! Thanks for the chance.
This color of blue was long my favorite color. (I’ve since moved on to a bright green, but I still love blue.) I’m really thrilled to see some new prints in this gorgeous color (the snake print looks fun!).
I love blue and white! It reminds me of the Flow Blue china my grandmother collected.
These fabrics would look oh so lovely with my little collection of blue and white china.
Very nice! Classic, so you can use it traditionally, but it would make for an interesting look in something purely modern, too.
Blue is my favorite color!!!!! Love this quilt and fabric choices!!
LOVE this collection! I want to use the same piecing layout and then make an apron out of it. I think it would be fun to use the ‘cutoffs’ to make matching trivets, etc.
Clear, bright and crisp spring sky!
I love this collection. Blue is my favorite color and the featured pattern would look great in my house!!
My oh my… Asian, classic, clean, porcelain…
I love this pattern. Of course I have blue and white china;-)
I’m so excited about Dear Stella too! The Heirloom collection is just wonderful with its two color focus. Palladium is another favorite of mine. Yum!
Really like these fabrics and the merging of influence from traditional European blue and white china with eastern ikats.
Looking forward to finding these fabrics at my LQS. Thanks for the giveaway.
The blues are very pretty and you really show them off great with the white fabric in the quilt.
WOW, I love the Dear Stella line! I have a thing for blue and white and it reminds me of china platters. I would love to have some of this!!!
OMG, I love it! It’s clean, bright and contemporary. I’d love to make a table runner with it to go with my blue and white dishes.
Love the quilt and love the fabric – it reminds me of Delft china – a good thing as it reminds me of my Dutch Oma and Tantes and summers spent in the Netherlands as a child.
Very modern-looking. I love it!
This is beautiful! It reminds me of blue spode, which I love.
this is so lovely! i agree with another comment, fresh is definitely a great word for it!
Love, love, LOVE the gorgeous bold blues, the fabulous flowers and the perky stripes. This fabric has me drooling on my keyboard!
Hugs,
Celia
Love it! It would actually work perfectly with my China! Thanks for the giveaway!
The fabrics are lovely. I love blue/white together — very clean and fresh.
I LOVE the fabric, its very fresh looking and also really like the pattern as well so please pick me
LOL
also…your magazine is wonderful
Love this quilt! Love the colors- simple & amazing!
Love the quilt! Simple & elegant & just lovely! The blue & white is perfect
I love the blues! Beautiful collection.
Indigo blue & white is sooo amazing – I could envision this in a beach cottage. Now to just get the cottage . . . hmmm, it would look good here in Ohio, too! LOL.
this fabric is beautiful, i love all the new dear stella stuff. i especially like that “ikat” print.

Dear Stella is lovely.
Now perhaps I can finish a pattern I started years ago called Grandmas China!
I don’t normally care much for blue but I really like this collection – especially with the white. Very crisp and clean and modern. I find the modern quilts way more appealing lately.
I love it but those blues have always been my favorite colors, and the white just makes it so fresh looking.
Delicious! I love the mix of style elements (ikat with persian with victorian – who woulda thunk?) held together by the refreshing cool colors…
Love the Dear Stella line! Stella was my grandmother’s name! Makes me think of her!
Love the blues!! The pieced stripes are fun & I REALLY lurve those pillows!
I really love the blue(s) on white, though I moight try a cream or yellow instead. Great look.
