If you have wanted to learn how to make a quilt, are looking for a small, simple project...or if you love solid color fabrics...here's a great opportunity for you!
Cherri House, author of City Quilts, is hosting a new quilt along over on her blog. You can also visit the group on flickr. Cherri will not only will take us through making a sweet and very modern quilt from start to finish, but she also provided these colorways. Aren't they great? So fresh and modern!
I thought it would be fun to give away fabric to make one of the quilts!
So here are the details:
The give away is for a kit of Kona Cotton Solids, including backing and binding, to make the CHQ as decribed in Cherri's blog. (You'll just need to provide a piece of batting, and your thread, of course.) The winner chooses the colorway!
The give away is open to everyone, and I'll ship to the winner anywhere in the world. =)
You may enter by commenting as follows:
1. Tell what colorway you like the best and why.
2. Like my Facebook page and come back here to tell me you did! http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Simply-Solid-Fabric/107468445991335 If you already follow me on fb, just say so in your second comment.
3. Invite a friend to like my facebook page and comment with your friend's name.
Comments will close on Monday morning at 6:00 am (Eastern Time, GMT -5:00), and the winner will be selected by random number generator. The winner will be announced on Monday and I'll ship the kit right away so you can use it for the quilt along.
Now I must figure out how to add quilt along buttons to the sidebar. If you can explain it to me (I use typepad), or linky to a good tutorial, I'll give you an extra entry to the give away. Just put it another comment. =)
What a cool giveaway! I love the orange.

The orange/Papaya reminds me of summer, that’s my favourite.

I'm going to say Gray. It's a color I love because it's serene and can be mixed with anything. Serene for me lasts, whereas if I picked a brighter overall color I would love it of course, but couldn't manage it all the time.

The orange colorway is my favorite. The vibrant brights are just so happy and energizing. The gray is a close second (as it is my favorite color by itself).
I love the pattern - so simple and clean and modern.
