Giveaway winner and a spring sale

April 8, 2011

tags: batik, Color Brick quilt along, Fat Quarterly quilt along, Kona solids

Thanks to all who left comments on last week’s giveaway. And from 196 comments, the random number generator picked #127 … Janet.

I would love to add those pastel solids to the fabrics I have to work with! Thanks for a chance to win. If I won I would use the pastel solids as sashing for Intuition blocks I’ve made as per 15 Minutes of Play blog.

And just in case you didn’t win, I’ve put the pastels on sale for the next week … save 10% on 16 bolts of Kona pastels as well as the bundle, and 10% on the Tonga Treats strips.

I’ve made a list of all the ideas that were suggested in your comments. If you have a minute you can check out the links … there are lots of great ideas for some spring sewing. I’ll start with my own two picks. The first is from Rachel at Stitched in Color, and I think those pastel fat quarters would look great – I might use a dark grey (Charcoal) for the mortar between the bricks.

I think the batik strips would be perfect for the Fat Quarterly quilt aong:

And then there were all the creative ideas you added … pincushions, Nine Patch quilt, Chinese Coins, Bargello, embroidered baby quilt, rag quilts, basket blocks, portrait quilt, Easter bonnets, and more …
