the patchwork squares giveaway...

 

 

...is finally up and all you have to do to enter the giveaway for a bundle of 63 die-cut pre-shrunk 8 1/2 inch fabric squares (all different from one another) is comment to this post and tell me which of the two bundles you prefer; if you've been following my blog recently, you will know that I have put together two patchwork tops (here and here) from which I have then made two tied coverlets (here and here).

 

 

The first patchwork bundle, or the more aqua-pink-yellow-red one, which I've now named sherbert dreams..., has the yummy vintage floral sheeting fabric with the pink background on top as you can see below...

 

 

...and can make the following 56 inch by 72 inch patchwork:

 

 

The second one, or the more pink-peach-yellow-green one, which I've since named buttercup dreams..., has one of my favourite vintage sheeting fabrics with a mellow yellow background on the top...

 

 

...and can make the following 56 inch by 72 inch patchwork:

 

 

Both bundles have a good mix of vintage fabrics, whether it be vintage sheeting or sweet floral calicos, and fabrics from more recently designed collections by the likes of Heather Bailey, Amy Butler, Jennifer Paganelli and Tanya Whelan.

 

 

While most of the fabrics in the bundle are 100% cotton, there are a few cotton-poly blends, mostly in the vintage sheeting selection.

 

 

And, in case you're wondering, as far as the vintage fabrics go, they are all in pretty good shape, with some having been gently used, but a lot still in brand new shape; as you can probably tell from my photos, they can still add a ton of cheeriness to a patchwork!

 

 

I have to tell you that I had a lot of fun putting these bundles together, especially when it came to the ties. At first, I wasn't quite sure what to use to tie the bundles together and I was thinking of using one type of tie for all of them. But then, when I looked at my messy workroom floor and saw all the colourful jumble of remnants and strips of fabric lying there, I thought that fabric strips just might do the trick...

 

 

...and then why try to choose one fabric for the ties when there are so many fun possibilities when using all sorts of different fabrics?!...

 

 

In about a week from today, I will pick a winner and to enter, as I mentioned above, all you have to do is leave me a comment to this post, saying which bundle you prefer: sherbert dreams... or buttercup dreams.... (In case you're wondering, I will also be shortly listing these bundles in my Etsy shop.) So, please, please, don't be shy and have a little fun with this giveaway! Thanks for popping by!...
