FMQ Quiltalong Winner!

Hurrah! It's time to draw the Sew Mama Sew giveaway! (Double hurrah, I found out how to number comments so I didn't have to count up to 600+). 

First of all, a huge thanks to Brenda for providing the prize of a mystery fat quarter bundle. Luckily this time, there is not only one winner. Brenda is also  sponsoring the first month of the 2012 Quokka Quilts  Free Motion Quilting, Quilt As You Go Quiltalong, offering 15% off your order. Just use the code QQQ15.

This is not a strongly prescribed quiltalong. I am going to offer a range of choices and options, so if you are not too confident with free motion quilting, there will options that enable you to come up with a fantastic looking quilt. Basic beginner skills are required.

For the Quiltalong, you need:

• a range of solids in 6.5" squares
• a solid binding colour, cut into 2.5" strips to sash each 6.5" square (Pink Castle Fabrics offers jelly rolls in a range of solid colours - perfect for sashing your squares - remember your 15% off!). 
• 11" squares (times the number of squares you are doing) for backing each square
• 11" squares of wadding, preferably the same type. I am using white-n-warm and warm-n-natural because that is what I have scraps of. I am going to do a 'how to' on joining batting scraps for those thrifty people who have been hoarding scraps
• For less confident, newer FMQ'ers, invisible or matching thread; for intermediate, a medium contrast thread (eg grey); if you're super confident or ready to see all your stitches, go for a high contrast thread like white. 

You can determine the number of squares and size of quilt. I am doing 24 squares and am going to lay mine out like this and use solid grey sashing and backing.

If you're really interested in developing your FMQ skills, I'm going to suggest you also link up with Sew Cal Girls' 2012 Free Motion Quilting Challenge.

And now for the drumroll....
