The Big Four-Oh Giveaway, Day 3: Indie Fat Quarter Bundle

Have you had a kindness shown?

Pass it on;

'Twas not given for thee alone,

Pass it on;

Let it travel down the years,

Let it wipe another's tears,

'Til in Heaven the deed appears.

Pass it on.

–Henry Burton

A couple of weeks ago, a project by Amy over at Diary of a Quilter really caught my eye {sidebar: I really should quit reading her blog. Every time I go there, it costs me $150. See also, Sparkle All the Way Christmas Quilt}. She made a pillow using the Indie fabric line by Pat Bravo. I really loved how the fabrics worked together. I try to be sensible about spending money and for the most part don't buy things just to have them. I have to have a project in mind when I buy fabric {unless is it absolutely spectacular} because if I'm actually going to use it, then it is OK to buy it, right? {Never mind if it sits in a storage bin for two years until I get to it.} I'm not really a modern quilter. I'm more of a calico girl, but something about this fabric line just really called my name and my brain started working on ways to justify a purchase.

In another part of my brain, I was working on ideas for my blog-aversary/birthday giveaway. And suddenly it clicked. I had the perfect project for this fabric and I could use that for one of my giveaways {you'll see it tomorrow}, and since I'd be ordering ½ yard cuts anyway, I'd have enough to play with and enough to give some away.

I'm happy to announce today's giveaway; a fat quarter bundle which includes all twenty of the Indie Prints.

Please note: the fabrics have all been washed, pressed, starched and squared up because I wash everything before I use it and I'm using my share of this fabric for a little something fabulous. This means that the fabrics have shrunk a little and depending on how generous {or not} the various shops I ordered them from were and whether they were pulled off grain and required lots of squaring up, the fat quarters range in size from 16½" to 19". Then there's the matter of the Afro Fusion in Dusk print, which I didn't quite order enough of and has ended up being an odd size, but is roughly the same volume as a fat quarter.

I'm off to play with my new Indie fabrics. Here's how you can win your own fat quarter bundle.
