Thanks! I've wanted to use pleats but have been intimidated thus far. But it would make a great texture for a baby blanket! My baby daughter would love it :)

Toohey said...: Thanks for the giveaway! I have loved pleats since middle school where our school uniforms included knife pleat skirts. Just so much fun to wear. I don't usually add them to things, though, since they are difficult. Maybe I just need to learn a better way!; May 13, 2014 at 6:40 AM
Sallie said...: Because they are tactile and crisp.; May 13, 2014 at 7:53 AM
Sandra said...: Pleats reminds me of pleated skirts that were worn in the old days. They always looked so prim and property and the pleats always stayed in place. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew giveaway and giving me the chance to win a free pattern for Pleated Apple Quilt. I have a great grandson that needs a new quilt and this is really cute.

Richard Healey said...: I dont love but I dont hate pleats. But I have never made any. Would be interesting to give it a try.; May 13, 2014 at 8:45 PM
Mokki said...: I use pleats quite a lot when I'm making purses. I've never thought of using them in a quilt. I like pleats because they add volume and texture and can make solid colours look really interesting. Your pattern looks great and innovative with those pleats.; May 14, 2014 at 4:22 AM
Havplenty said...: Pleats are classic. I had several pleated skirts back in the day. I still have my Pendelton wool pleated skirts.; May 14, 2014 at 5:36 AM
Jess Burns said...: I love pleats because they are a neat and tidy way to add a finishing touch. They also are kind of geometric with the sharp lines.

(I've been told I'm a little OCD!)

Tawny said...: I used to work at a dry cleaners when I was a teenager and my favourite thing was to press the pleats in a heavily pleated skirt. The crispness of them gave me such satisfaction. Okaaay... that was totally random, but it's what first popped into my head when I thought about pleats. :D; May 14, 2014 at 12:23 PM
MrsV said...: I made an apron with a box pleat on the bottom, and I just loved the look. I feels a little more grown-up/modern than ruffles to me.; May 14, 2014 at 2:11 PM
Shanny said...: I don't have alot of experience sewing pleats. I do like how thick it would make the quilt... and for a baby that texture is lovely!; May 14, 2014 at 8:43 PM
