For those not in the know, this is a fabulous opportunity to fritter a few hours picking a dream bundle of fabrics from the huge range at the Fat Quarter shop. The entries will be judged and the best fabric selection will win 15, yes 15! half yards of fabric.
Now there are lots of amazing fabric selections already and I really struggled to come up with something different. My first idea, to choose the colours used in the table runner I recently made, were scuppered when I couldn't quite recreate the look I wanted....so instead I came up with this:
1.Ruby Sundae by Bonnie & Camille for Moda Fabrics 2.Cherry Garden Pindot by Michael Miller Fabrics 3.Kaffe Classics Cantaloupe aboriginal dot by Westminster Fibers 4.Happy Mochi Yum Yum in Lemon by Monica Solorio-Snow for Lecien Fabrics 5.Lemon Grove Yellow Swirly Light Ground by Alice Kennedy for Timeless Treasures Fabrics 6. Pinfeathers Lime Ditsy Leaves by Carina Gardner for Northcott Fabrics 7. Pocket Full of Posies Key Lime Polka Dot by Foliage for Windham Fabrics 8. Peacock Lane Turquoise Falling Flowers by Violet Craft for Michael Miller Fabrics 9. Lanikai Navy Gridlock by Dear Stella Fabrics 10. Early Birds Plum Polka Dot by Jane Sassaman for Free Spirit Fabrics 11. Echo Purple Lina by Lotta Jansdotter for Windham Fabrics 12.Heirloom Amethyst Blockade Blossom by Joel Dewberry for Free Spirit Fabrics 13.Free Spirit Designer Solids Slate Grey by Free Spirit Fabrics 14. Bella Solids Silver by Moda Fabrics 15. Free Spirit Designer Solids Winter White by Free Spirit Fabrics
That exercise was so much fun, that I was reinvigorated and stitched up the first of the things on my urgent list, a make-up pouch especially for Jess, the winner of my give-away before Christmas. Jess said she likes blues and purple with grey, so I aimed for a classy look (for this classy lady!) with a Philip Jacobs print.
On it's way to you Jess, hope you like it!

I opted for rainbow palette because even though it may be a bit "done" really it's my long standing favourite fabric combination, and to keep to a theme I selected mainly single colour/white fabrics...so that whilst all the prints are by different designers, they all look like they've been created by silhouette or light-sensitive paper. My solids are greys and a crisp white, all ready to stitch up into a rainbow quilt :)
On it's way to you Jess, hope you like it!
