When I said "Friday morning or 500 comments," I was thinking that those two things would happen more or less simultaneously. I had no idea you would be able to pull off 500 comments in eight hours!
The winner, chosen at random, is Jaybird! (I've sent you an e-mail. Please send your address and I'll get these in the mail.)
For those of you who missed out, stay tuned. I'll do a similar strip-pack giveaway when I finish my Project Improv Quilt.
I've been cleaning out my supply closet today and came across this set of fabric strips and squares -- all cut out and ready to become a scrappy quilt! It could be made into many things, but the squares are 3.5" and the strips are 1.5" and 1.75" wide, making it a perfect starting point for one of these.
The fabric is mostly Heather Bailey's Pop Garden and Bijoux, with a couple of Kaffe Fasset prints thrown in. The solids are mostly Kona, but I think the tangerine is Kaffe Fasset shot cotton.
Anyway, I'd love to send these to a good home where they would be used. All fabric was prewashed before cutting and I'm throwing in a half yard of the chevron stripe fabric shown above for binding or part of the back (or whatever you want to do with it).
Leave a comment to enter your name in the random drawing. I'll keep comments open until Friday morning or 500 comments, whichever happens first.
Today is the day my Project Improv quilt was supposed to be done and in Jacquie's hands. I am most definitely LATE getting this done! Jacquie, I apologize profusely and will have this to you as soon as possible.
Despite the tardiness though, I am thrilled with the way the blocks look so far. I'm mostly using Anna Griffin's Darcey collection, which I bought a while ago and have been saving for the right project. I love these colors together! They're summery and preppy and retro all at the same time.
Here's a picture of my workstation. I'm lucky that my little IKEA armchair is flat on top, because it means I can scoot it over next to my big table and put one of my old tabletops on top of it, creating a big table extension. I cut lots and lots of strips of the Darcey fabric, Kona cotton solids and Essex cotton/linen in white. I have a big piece of the green floral print (my favorite) for the back.
Now I just need to get the other 16 blocks done!
(By the way, if you think the above photo looks like a cat disaster waiting to happen, you're not wrong. I just don't have photographs!)
