Bundles of fun!

The Blogger's choice bundle competition has closed with 341 entries! What an amazing response. I hope to post the shortlist on Friday, as chosen by the following superstars:
There are some amazing combinations in there. I tried to comment on all, I really did, but life and work got in the way. Silly work... We'll try for Friday, but as there are so many, it may not happen that fast... You've all made it really difficult to choose! I've had to promise the judges that drinks are on me, next time we're in the same state together. I could be pretty safe there considering I live Down Under... ;)

After the shortlist is posted, Amy of Amy's Creative Side, Cara of CaraQuilts and Kimberly of the Fat Quarter Shop will choose three lucky winners...

In the meantime, a bundle ordered before the competition even started appeared on the doorstep today. I ordered it in December but Christmas slowed the post down quite a bit. It's mostly Half Moon Modern by Moda - doesn't it make you happy just looking at it! :)  The black and white prints are by Robert Kaufman but I think they fit in well with this batch.

Thank you once again for the amazing response to the competition. I'm looking forward to posting the shortlist soon!

  2. What a fantastic response to the bloggers FQ choice - I like to go back to the link post and check out different sets. 1. to see what I missed and 2. to get inspired by colour groups and fabrics I normally wouldn't consider
    Thanks for this great idea - whether a winner or not it's been inspirational

  4. Sweet haul! I still haven't bought any Half Moon Modern. I meant to and thought I had, but I was wrong then never got around to it.

  5. (1) That fabric you got is fabulous. I love half moon modern.

    (2) Thank you for running this competition. I fully plan on revisiting this linky all the time for inspiration on fabric combinations!

    (3) Totally just a random idea, you've already done soooo much work, but to hold everyone over to the results, it could be kinda cool if there was a survey for the "Community Choice" bundle where people can see the results after they vote. Not for a prize or anything, but just for fun to see what people are liking. I can totally understand if you didn't want to do it, but just thought I'd put the idea out there in case. :)

  8. I thought the concept of this one was excellent. Rather than just commenting, we had to work for it a little. It was fun, and I am glad you ran this.

    I do love those fabrics, the scissors are really fun.

  9. Fab!! I kept checking back and couldn't believe how many people linked up, so exciting! Then my heart sank a little realising it meant less chance of winning! ;) Scrummy fabric!

  13. I must say I'm glad I don't have to pick the winner. TONS of amazing bundles there. I can't believe you got such a response, and wow, good for you, trying to comment on all of them! When do you suppose the judges will select their winning combos?

Yippee - you're commenting! I _love_ comments. :) I've had so much spam lately though that I'm limiting to registered users for a bit to see if that works... If you're a friend, you can find me on Facebook and comment that way if you have trouble.
