A few weeks ago the Bonnie and Camille Designer Select FQ kit showed up at my door. These packages always surprise me because it's not something I ordered a day before, it's just sent out automatically when your in the Designer Select FQ Club from The Fat Quarter Shop. This was also my first Bonnie and Camille fabric ever...I know its hard to fathom how someone could not have gotten any of the Bonnie and Camille past lines, but I like to buy fabric with a project in mind which means that I sometimes miss a line or 2. That's one reason that I joined this club, I won't miss as many lines. The one problem I am having is deciding on a project to make with the Ruby. There's 12 print and 3 solid FQs, plus I have 2 more yards of the solid gray. Please help me decide on a project!
This week I have a great lineup of guest bloggers who will share with you their projects made with Cotton Blossom, Simple Abundance, Bliss, Ruby or any Cotton Way Pattern.
And like always The Fat Quarter Shop is sponsoring this series! The Prize this time is a Ruby Designer Select Fat Quarter kit!
There's 2 ways to enter
1. Give me some inspiration...I can't decide on a project for this FQ kit. Tell me what you think I should make. Any links to the projects would be greatly appreciated.
2. Go to the Fat Quarter Shop web site and tell me which coming soon line you are most excited about.
There you go, 2 ways to enter. You do not have to be a follower of this blog to win, but it would be great if you did. I have a lineup of blog posts this month that I think you will enjoy and will not want to miss. It would also be wonderful if you shared this giveaway with your friends.
My Mr. Random will pick a winner on Saturday, November 12th.
Flying flock is a fun way to go, but I also think that this fabric line would make a gorgeous wonky star quilt!
ReplyDeleteI am most looking forward to Twirl by My & My Sister Designs - I am going to make some really cute things for Anne's room with that fabric!
ReplyDeleteI must confess that after seeing Melissa's Flying Flock I think you should make something gorgeous like that with all your fabulous Ruby!
ReplyDeleteAs for the Coming Soon line that I'm most excited about.. I really like the look of Fig Tree's new California Girl line.. and Jennifer Chiaverini's Caroline's Collection.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a framed quilt like this one: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/10/all-framed-up-baby-quilt.html#more
ReplyDeleteIt would really allow the fabrics to shine! =)
I am so excited for the California Girl collection by fig tree. =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
wow....how can you pick just one favorite??? i love babysaurus, athill range, blush pear tree, but there are still half a dozen more that i have to have!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the quilt made using the pattern Sweet Pea by Anka's Treasures using the grey for the contrast in the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWhen I see Ruby I see pinwheels and geese. But LARGE geese, not the itty bitty geese. Like 6" blocks alternating between geese and pinwheels laid out so the geese are flying around the pinwheels. =) You can call me if you need me to 'splain more! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteId say its a toss up between California Girl, Good Fortune, Pear Tree and Salt Air. I want all three. In mass quantities. =)
ReplyDeleteI found several patterns that I like and think might work - may be putting them on my to-do list!
ReplyDelete1) Hugs & Kisses: http://carterquilter.wordpress.com/2009/12/03/hugs-and-kisses/
2) Zig Zag: http://bloominworkshop.com/zig-zag.htm
3) Mystery Quilt 3: http://www.equilters.com/library/mystery_quilts/gallery_mystery3.html
For the "Coming Soon" that I'm most excited about - Pat Sloan's Blogger's Choice (coming real soon!) I'm really digging browns lately and the brown and blue combo is The Best! (I mean, really. Who can resist a Cupcake?!)
Lots to choose from in the coming soon, but I think today I am most looking forward to Apple of my eye!!
ReplyDeleteLyanna L., I really like the All Framed Up. Going to add that one to my To-Do list, too! :D
ReplyDeleteI thinks these would fabrics would look great in a star quilt, maybe something like Debonaire Quilt Pattern It's Sew Emma, Rachel Griffith.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you are looking for one you would need to purchase but, I think that fabric would look great with one of Julie's newer patterns; "Come What May".
ReplyDeletehttp://www.jaybirdquilts.com/2011/10/come-what-may-quilt-pattern.html
Or a few of her others even like Unwind or Chopsticks.
What I'm looking forward to at Fat Quarter Shop's coming soon is Kate Spains' Good Fortune. That is another awesome looking fabric line from her.
ReplyDeleteI love the new Apple of my Eye by the Quilted Fish, great colors and patterns!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of your great blog and am thinking maybe a Bento Block quilt might be neat out of those fabrics. Here is a link to one. Thanks!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sewwequilt.com/2011/11/block-party-begins-today-with.html
So many beautiful collections by very clever designers but I have a special interest in Caroline Simas' work and would dearly like to have some of her new collection Finally Free to create with. Thanks for asking and thanks for such interesting posts.
ReplyDeleteI love Melissa's "Flying Flocks" quilt for this fabric, but also a 9-patch or disappearing 9-patch would look great! Thanks for the chance to win this pretty fabric!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite things that are coming soon are Twirl and A Walk in the Woods. So adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win!
I like Alpine Wonderland - very Christmassy!
ReplyDeleteThe Bonnie and Camille Designer Select FQ bundle is so pritty. I would sugest the pattern Georgia Quilt Pattern It's Sew EmmaTM, Rachel Griffith in the Fat Quarter shop. That would show the beautiful prints in the FQ bundle. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI like "Schoolhouse Alice Putnam Fat Quarter Bundle by Nancy Gere for Windham Fabrics". This looks so pritty for a project I want to start next yr. Thanks for... everything.
ReplyDeleteGosh Sha, I don't know what you could make with that beautiful fabric. I know make a life long friend, send it to me. LOL well you can't blame an old gal for trying.
ReplyDeleteSheesh, lightning strike real close. It has been raining downpours for hours now, think we probably have already had 6 inches this evening. But back to business, I was saying I have been feeling all soft and mushy and romantic lately, liking warm drinks, snuggling with hubz, stuff like that so I would go for
ReplyDeleteAlways & Forever Yardage Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics Thanks for the chance to win.
A wonderful quilt for your bed! Made with your own design. I guess I have a hard time picturing anything but a full quilt with this gorgeous fabric.
ReplyDeleteJust found a cute and simple Christmas quilt I'd like to make for my sons and their wives. Spirit of Christmas by Judie Rothermel would be perfect.
ReplyDeletedede(dot)dedebaker(at)gmail(dot)com
Inspiration for Ruby. Hmmm....lots of good stuff being suggested. All I can say is what my mom used to say to me. "You'll know it when you see it."
ReplyDeletedede(dot)dedebaker(at)gmail(dot)com
I am working on a Dresden plate quilt and those prints would look good in one. Very pretty fabric.

I adore the fabric from Me & My Sister so I have to
ReplyDeletesay Twirl. I will be making a quilt for my yoingest granddaughter with it.
Thanks for a chance at the giveaway!
Here's a suggestion that's not a quilt: If it were me, I would use some of the blues and grays to make a patchwork shower curtain.
ReplyDeletePinwheels are one of my favorite simple designs ever! as well as my new obsession with sawtooth stars!
ReplyDeleteOh! And a favorite line coming out? so hard - but that luscious by basic grey looks pretty amazing. I also want to do something with the berenstein bears!
ReplyDeleteHave you considered Swoon? I am going to start that one soon, and it is a pattern by Camille. I also like the wonky stars quilts I have been seeing lately.
ReplyDeleteThe coming soon I am looking forward to is the Tuxedo group of fabrics. I have this new desire to make a black and white quilt with just touches of color.
ReplyDeleteI love the Swoon quilt and I think these fabrics would make a gorgeous one!
ReplyDeleteThat California Girl fabric by Fig Tree Quilts is lovely!!! I'm excited to see it in person. I'm never disappointed with her lines.
ReplyDeleteI think you should try the long tall sally pattern by miss rosie's. It is done a little different which is so awesome by amaidenhairfern.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteGood luck, and I want some too so I can win this bundle!
I'm excited for some Hello Luscious by Basic Gray and California Girl by Fig Tree and Fly a Kite by October Afternoon! I hope you weren't expecting just one answer! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous line - just saw a tutorial for a Bento Box block at sewwequilt. I think that such a block, with a chance to use those solids, would look great for a quilt. Alternately, a plus quilt ala Schnibbles would be cute too. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteFrom the FQS coming soon section, I like Good Fortune and many others like Aneela's new line A Walk in the Woods. alternate email mlwright29(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see the Ruby fabrics used in your Countdown to Christmas table runner pattern :)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Summersville but I can't see it listed at Fat Quarter Shop, so I'll go with Quilt Blocks which looks stunning :)
ReplyDeleteThe amy Ellis fat quarter bundle.
ReplyDeleteI think you should make a table runner maybe use one of the patterns you gave away.
ReplyDeleteI think Katy Jones' Constellation quilt from issue 5 of fat quarterly would be beautiful in this kit. :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am seriously looking forward to Aneela's new walk in the woods line. It's absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteI'd go with flying geese or HSTs for this bundle.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to pear tree! :)
ReplyDeleteMy son loves the Berenstain Bears, so I think I'm most excited about that line!
ReplyDeleteI think the bundle would look nice with Elizabeth Hartman's (Oh Fransson!) Canasta Quilts pattern, esp. with the solids that would break up the prints.
ReplyDeleteThe re-release of Flea Market Fancy is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually working on a Bliss+Ruby quilt right now. I'm using the last of my hoarded Bliss prints mixed with a few Ruby prints to make this quilt from the Moda Bake Shop site: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2011/09/ruby-pearl-and-opal-quilt.html#more It's going together very fast and the two lines look so great together! Thanks for the chance to win some Ruby!
ReplyDeleteI'm quite excited about the Blueberry Crumb Cake.
ReplyDeleteI think wonky stars quilt would look nice in Ruby (something like this, perhaps: http://canadianabroad-susan.blogspot.com/2011/10/everyone-is-doing-it-and-i-started-to.html)
ReplyDeleteHere is a cute block I would use for those prints. Of course there is always Swoon.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for A Walk in the Woods!
ReplyDeleteI love Ruby - the colours are so gorgeous. I think it would look fabulous as a Lattice type quilt - or of course Swoon!
ReplyDeleteFrom the Coming Soon section - tough decision. But I really love Apple of my Eye from Riley Blake. What gorgeous colours!
ReplyDeleteCan't wit for Reunion!
ReplyDeleteI think those fabrics would look great using Elizabeth Hartman's New Wave quilt pattern.
ReplyDeleteMy second comment doesn't want to 'stick'. I love so many of the upcoming fabrics, but I really loving Quilt Blocks. Thank you for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI think a snowball-style quilt would show off the patterns... Maybe with some red pops in between? See? I'm already designing what I would do with it... :-) thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteadded you to my google reader!
ReplyDeleteI think this would be perfect for that beautiful stack of fabric: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maryonlakepulaski/5268129917/in/set-72157625655648686/
ReplyDeleteI'm a Thimbleblossom addict - have every line or used it!
My favorite from the coming soon area of Fatquarter Shop is Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket for Moda!
ReplyDeleteHow about a quilt like this to show off the fabrics:
ReplyDeletehttp://bloomandblossom.bigcartel.com/product/pattern
I am looking forward to seeing Curious Nature by Parson Gray!!
ReplyDeleteI think a quilt called Wild Air from Carrie Nelson at http://missrosiesquiltco.com/Rosie_Quilts.html would be gorgeous in these fabrics!
ReplyDeleteIf you look at page 20 of the coming soon listings, there is a lovely pattern called "shadowflower" that I think would be great with this fabric...
ReplyDeleteOops -- I wrote down 2 words (just 2) and still managed to get them mixed up. The pattern name is "impromptu" -- the coming soon line that I like is Shadowflower...lol...
ReplyDeleteso many fabrics, so little time! although they are not the colours I tend to sew with, I keep coming back to all things fig tree, and that California Girl is no exception, nice
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you have a gift in mind, but the little Bow on Top pattern right on fat quarter shop's front page looks like it would be sweet in your fabrics. thanks for the giveaway :)
