First off is Lee's Supernova quilt along over at Freshly Pieced. I haven't committed to that one yet, but it would be fun. I'm still debating.
Second is Lynne's over at Lily's Quilts. I have decided to join up with this one, but am very undecided what my end quilt will look like. I've chosen fabrics, but haven't decided if I'll just do one square as a doll quilt size or possibly 2x2 squares as a throw.
I'm really branching out on this quilt for Lynne's quilt along. I'm hoping it works out in the end. I suppose that will make the difference between a doll size quilt or a throw. If my idea ends up being horrible, it will probably be a doll quilt.
For an experiment I based my color choices on a swatch from Design Seeds.

Here is my fabric stack for the quilt along. It was a lot of fun to pull these using my inspiration photo. I'm hoping they all work together in the end.
I spent the twin's nap time yesterday cutting up all of these fabrics. First I cut lots of strips.
While I cut, Miss C. "worked" in her house (AKA she colored and cut construction paper into tiny little pieces).
I also cut lots of charms. I cut two stacks--one for my quilt and one for someone reading this blog. This little stack includes about 75 charms. I've included at least one charm from almost every fabric I used (some of my scraps were too small to cut charms). I've included two charms of most fabrics.
So, to win this little stack of charms, leave a comment for each of the following:
- Tell me your current favorite color combo.
- Become a follower.
- Blog about this little giveaway.
- Head over to Lily's Quilts and check out Lynne's quilt along (I promise she isn't paying me, I just love her site. She does fabulous work).
Mr. Random will choose a winner Monday, March 21st. Good luck!
Oh gosh, I am really stuck on the ROYGBV with gray combo. Here's to hoping you pick #1 :)

ReplyDeleteI'm currently in love with the red, orange, yellow color combos. Thanks for the chance to win such lovely fabric!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm also already a follower of Lily's quilts blog! I'm deciding if I have the guts to try her quilt a long. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to Lynne's QAL. It's a little beyond my skill level right now (I made flying geese for the first time this week), but it'll neat to see what everyone comes up with for the QAL
ReplyDeleteGray and green are my favorite right now.Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm a follower (and that little house is adorable!!!) :)
ReplyDeleteMy current fave color combo is probably the whole rainbow business - I've actually been thinking about joining Lynne's QAL and doing one color wheel kind of doll quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm a faithful fan of Lynne's work, too. I just love her eye for fabrics, and her MBS tute is pretty high on my list of quilt patterns to use!
ReplyDeleteOooh fun! I am going to copy Elizabeth D and say "rainbow" - I love how it looks, especially in medium or light value fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!

My favorite color combo right now is gray and anything, but after buying some BLiss... red and aqua is coming up close!

ReplyDeleteI must be wishing for spring because I'm really drawn to the bright pink and lime combo right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower with Reader :)
ReplyDeleteI was over at Lily's Quilts earlier today and I love that block. Of course the Sherbet Pips had something to do with it I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteI really love the idea of purple and gray, I haven' tried it yet but in mind it looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI follow with google reader.
ReplyDeleteI follow Lily's blog too, the QAL is great but I haven't committed to doing it yet.

ReplyDeleteMy usual favorite color combo is soft orange( but not peach) and periwinkle blue. But these days I can't get my mind off rainbows. A color wheel with Lynne's quilt along would be great - wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteCoolest giveaway ever and you are so nice :-)

ReplyDeleteSooo addicted to QAL's at the moment ...seriously !!!! So I have checked it out AND am trying to decide on what fabrics to use :)!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been over to Lynn's.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combo lately is navy, green and aqua. Or dark teal, brick, muted aqua blue, espresso and khaki. Or grey and about anything. Your colors will make a really fun Dresden. What is your background color? I can't wait to see what you come up with for the color placement.
ReplyDeleteLove browns and blues together. But, I also love various shades of color with white (reds of different hues with white, etc).
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite combos is light blue and brown, but I also like grey with pinks and reds. And there are so many other, more adventurous ones I'd like to try, too :)

ReplyDeleteheidig@gmail.com
I love blue with brown or green. While I like reds and yellows, I don't seem to use them often.
ReplyDeleteI have pulled my fabrics for Lily's QAL. Even got my 4 yr old's opinion - LOL! I've always wanted to do a dresden plate, and the QAYG technique, and I love the one block option b/c it's springtime and this is a busy time of the year for me, so small projects are very appealing.
ReplyDeleteI am now a happy follower.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your brown stack - it's gorgeous - your QAL is going to be fabtastic! How great would that look with the chartreuse .. mmmmm
ReplyDeleteyou've been nestling in my reader for ages, but I've come out and followed ya now! thanks for the chance to win some fab fabrics ...

ReplyDeleteMy favorite color combo is grey and blue, but I'm kind of burned out on it right now, so I'm in search of a new favorite :)
I'm a follower!!
ReplyDeleteI follow Lynne's blog too. I'm thinking about joining her quilt-along too. I might just go for a doll size.
ReplyDeleteI follow you!
ReplyDeleteOh, I've been on both blogs over the last few days and trying to decide whether or not to jump in the quilt alongs. So tempting!
ReplyDeleteColor combinations? Right now I can't seem to get enough pink and orange, the brighter, the better! Thanks for sharing your lovely little squares!

ReplyDeleteMy current favorite color combo is aqua and red, but it might change before I actually get to make that quilt!
ReplyDeleteI visited Lily's Quilt QAL, but I will not be joining. I kind of have a backlog/wishlist of quilts to get done. Your fabric stack will look great in that quilt, can't wait to see the progress!
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm loving gray with any color!
ReplyDeletefollower
ReplyDeleteA pink & green combo is my favorite right now with a little brown and/or teal thrown in. Sale tomorrow at LQS so hope to get fabrics then for a springy throw.
ReplyDeleteChecked out Lynne's QAL - she is soooo organized! I'm going to have to pass for now but will save the directions - have never done a dresden but should!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with orange/aqua/brown right now. They just make me happy to see =)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving orange and grey right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower :)
ReplyDeleteI'm following now!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm very tempted by Lily's QAL, at least 1 block if not the whole thing...
ReplyDeleteRed and white because that's what I'm collecting. Also collecting purples. So those colors are on my mind right now.
ReplyDeleteI checked out Lily's quilt along. I am always SO tempted with quilt alongs, but this time I have so much going already that I'll have to pass. I'm finishing up the palooza quilt along and want to do the patchwork squared one--just have a lot of UFOs that need my attention.
ReplyDeleteLove those charms and I love the fabrics you chose for your quilt. My current favorite combo is blue and white because I am making a graduation quilt for my niece and those are her school colors. Thanks for the opportunity to win.=)
ReplyDeleteFavourite colour combo has always been purple and green. Not sure it would work too well in a quilt though, do you? At the moment, green and grey. Love the Ty Impressions line.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm already a follower!
ReplyDeleteAND I'm quilting along for Lily's Quilts with you!! I really love your fabric choices :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the white, pink, magenta & grey combo.

ReplyDeleteI can't get past my blues and reds so I guess those are my favorites. But your stack of fabrics suggests some tempting color combos that I might try! Your charms look fun to use in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
I already follow Lily's quilts!

ReplyDeleteblogged about your giveaway at http://salliessampler.blogspot.com/2011/03/from-blue-chair-fabric-giveaway.html
ReplyDeleteI'm still attached the colour combo I was attached too at 14 - a bold orange, a bright lime green and the perfect blue-purple. The funny thing is that I'm probably will remain attached to this combo because it's always a struggle to find the right shades/tones to make this work.
ReplyDeleteLately I'm in to a turquoise and salmon color combo. Thanks for the giveaway! nkadenver@ yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteI love that modern dresden quilt Lily is using for the QAL. Wish I had time to make one. nkadenver@ yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteMy favourite colours would be at all times RED, Red and more Reds.
ReplyDeleteGina

I love turquoise with anything -- black, white, brown, pink, another shade of blue and so on. Perhaps it has something to do with all the grey skies I've seen this winter . . .
ReplyDeleteI would have to choose the pink/magenta with the greens.
ReplyDeleteFavorite color combo: I think I'm leaning toward green and purple lately.
