  1. I am still a beginner at sewing and I have made a range of things from curtains to robes. I have had one quilt my whole life and now its old and has been retired. I need a newer one and I figured I would just make one. I saw these colors and instantly saw a beautiful quilt!

  10. Solids! *drool*
    I usually buy prints with projects in mind, but solids are the other way around they determine the project. They will more likely become coin purses, clutches, and accent may other projects. :-)

  11. I would love these to make a skirt for my daughter. I do not quilt so would not participate in the quiltcon contest.

  13. Oh, gosh, what beautiful fabric! I'd use some of the fabric for cross-stitch projects, then probably make some small pillows which I've been wanting. I'd use it for background for smaller stitch projects. With all of the colors, I'm thinking of all sorts of things! Thank you for the chance to win this colorful prize!

  34. Hi, OMG! Those solids are so beautiful. I'm not a quilter. I have a small Sugar Glider Rescue in my home. The solids would be used with fleece to make them pouches to sleep in. There are 13 with me and 11 others have already gone to their forever home. How exciting! Thank you!

  35. Great Giveaway! I would use the fabric to make some fun headbands! Thanks a lot!

  36. I am a quilter wanna-be. I am jealous of people who make beautiful quilts. I am joining a quilting group so I can learn. Winning the fat quarters would be a great way to help me get started. Everyone else in my family makes quilts and I would like to try it too.
