COMMENTS CLOSED - WINNER ANNOUNCED 4/20/11 12:00 EST
Fifty posts and fifty followers, plus half of my March goals are already done. It sounds like a raffle. Well, instead of a pot-o-gold I am offering these:
BlockaPalooza
This is Ryan's (I'm just a Guy Who Quilts) block from Thursday. I love this block the most and can see a whole quilt from this one block - turned in different directions, geese flying everywhere. I can't believe that this week will be the end of the blocks. I will have to add this one for finishing on my April goals - it's not going to be a UFO!
I made two blocks and mailed off for United Notions/Moda's "One Star Project". They are asking quilters to donate a star block (pattern on site) for quilts to be made and given to returning soldiers. http://www.unitednotions.com/LA_just_one_star.pdf
And these blocks I mailed off to Colleen at Lucky Duck Dreams blog - she asked for star blocks (cancer)that will be made into a quilt for raffle "Relay For Life" .
SQUARED UP
Ta-Da! Here is the "Let's Play Marbles" quilt top with those snowball blocks. I will let it hang a while to decide if I need to add 1 or 2 borders. Or I may add a flange with border - need to think on it.
And the "Picnic Cherries" quilt top is ready for quilting. It's 40" square, which I like for this type of quilt. I have a cute cherry blossom fabric for backing and a green for binding.
The Moda Charm quilt is done as well as the Monochromatic, but waiting on some sunny weather to do an outdoors photo shoot. Once I know the photos are locked into their respective compititions, I promise to show them.
Remember the 50/50 - I will draw the winner on the first day of Spring - March 21st Ancient Proverb: Luck Never Gives, It Only Lends.
Sewingly Yours

I think some of your snow is drifting down our way. Flakes are falling, but I doubt they will leave a trace.

I made a snowball quilt this year and I think it's one of my very favorites - yours is wonderful because those colors are perfect! I've copied off the Moda pattern but haven't made any blocks yet - must get that done this week. The fabrics in the giveaway are perfect for spring - I hope I win! blessings, marlene

I love the banner on your blog-it reminds me of a Grandma Moses painting. I remember Scoharie, NY from decades ago when I went to college in NYS, though I don't recall its exact location.
Thanks for the opportunity to win Antique Fair-in my favorite colors.
