I recently gave the QuiltCon Challenge a closer look and I'm considering it. If I win this bundle, well, game on!
I don't think I'd enter, but I'd love to call this cheery bundle my own and come up with some happy pillow cases. The weather outside is annoyingly grey and uncheery so I need something to counter it with! :)

These are very pretty. I probably would not enter the challenge as I am not good with those things. I would like to play with the solids though. I haven't worked with solids in a long time as the colors just didn't cut it but these are vibrant!!!
Thanks for the opportunity to win, solids are such a great complement!

I think those solids look delicious! It's Autumn here so it's getting colder, but those solids look warm and tropical.. mmmm!

I am not planning on entering the quiltcon block challenge because the postage would be a bit too much from Europe :)
Just a couple of months ago I only used white as a solid and I still haven't purchased others. The reason? I just can't decide on the colors!

I LOVE solids! I don't think I would enter a challenge. I have so many of my own deadlines, it would add too much pressure to my life. I am new to quilting, but love making solid quilts. I am currently on my 2nd one with one in the early stages of planning.

These solids are so beautiful! They are actually in all "my" colors, and I'd love to try making a solids only quilt from them. Not sure that I'd get it done in time for the QuiltCon challenge, though.
