July Giveaway - Madhuri Fat Quarter Bundle

 We Have A Winner!
The winner is Amanda who said "I want to make a skirt of the pink main floral! I super love this collection, I'd prob make a quilt from fat quarters. I love the colors and the tonal elephants."  Congratulations Amanda!
Madhuri by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake 
Happy July!  It's been waaaaayyyyy too long since we've had a Giveaway, don't you think?!  And we have so much to celebrate right now - new puppies, new houses, surviving the move to California, being halfway through the year and Sew Fab's 4th birthday!  Well.....the birthday was actually on June 1st but since I was a wee bit busy preparing to move across the country on short notice at that time I actually forgot about Sew Fab's B-Day!  Oops!  So, this year we'll just pretend that the birthday is on July 1st!  Better late than never, right?!
Madhuri by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake
To celebrate, we're going to give away a 12 piece Madhuri Fat Quarter Bundle by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake.  I just love all of the bright, juicy, summery colors in this collection!  

And the selvage.....oh my.....the selvage on these prints is just amazing!  There is a rainbow of elephants on the selvage.  Selvage collectors rejoice!  It's total cuteness overload! 
Madhuri Quilting Fabric by The Quilted Fish for Riley Blake Designs
As always, just leave a comment to be entered to win.  I'd love to hear what you want to make with the Madhuri collection.  A quilt?  Do you have a specific pattern in mind?  Or maybe a sundress?  Or maybe a tote bag?  Or do you just need to get your hands on some and see it in real life to find your inspiration?

I'm thinking this fabric would look great in the Camping In Style quilt pattern that I just ordered for the shop (I'll let you know when it arrives).  I think the larger floral and elephant prints would look great in the center parts of the blocks and the smaller prints and some solids would look great as the thinner "frame" portion of the blocks.  What do you think?
We'll pick a winner on Monday, July 8 so please leave your comment on or before Sunday, July 7.  Good luck!

Happy Sewing,
Jenny

P.S.  As you probably already know, the selvage "dots" only shows the colors in THAT print.  So the prints with fewer colors won't have as many elephants on the selvage.

I think that I would love to have it in my hot little hands before I make a decision on what I want to make. :) I'm hoping that the date you will choose a name is actually July 8th, and not May 8th. :) Thank you for the chance to win and Happy Birthday!

Amanda said...

I want to make a skirt of the pink main floral! I super love this collection, I'd prob make a quilt from fat quarters. I love the colors and the tonal elephants.

Joann said...

Really striking patterns on this fabric - love it! My daughter is posted in South Asia, where they really have elephants, so I would probably make her a throw quilt...and make me a little something from what's leftover so I can "connect" with her when I see the fabric! Miss her something awful!

Barbara Ensor said...

So cute. Would make a wonderful summery throw.

Unknown said...

I love the bright colors - and elephants. reminds me of my best friend who lives in India :) I would make a ruffled dress for my two year old - with each ruffle out of different fabrics.

I love to show off my "stash". If I won it, it would go at the TOP of my stash pile and when my sister comes over and asks me if I have gotten anything new, I'll take it off the top and hand it to her. I would even let her cut off the salvages, because she uses some of them for her doll clothes she makes..

Unknown said...

I must say, this fabric is so sweet! That's why I would use it to make a quilt for my step-neice who lives on base in England where her Daddy, my step brother is stationed in the US Air Force. She would love it!
