So, the day before yesterday, I happened to notice my follower count, and it's at 98. You may (or may not) remember that some months ago, I said that when I reached 100 followers, I would have a giveaway. So when I saw "98" I said to BSP "Eep! I have 98 followers! I have to make something for my giveaway!"
I had decided several months ago, that when I did this give away, I would do a "pay it forward" kind of giveaway, because several months ago, I won enough fabric and a pattern to make a lap sized quilt top from
Green Fairy Quilts. When it arrived, I decided that I would use the fabric in my own pattern, and then do a giveaway of the quilt and the pattern to one of my followers.
Of course, I had to add something shiny to it (because that's just the way I am) so the majority of the quilt is going to be this raspberry silk that I purchased a couple of years ago. I can't remember what kind of silk it is, but it has a really interesting texture - and I like the juxtaposition of it against the cottons.
At the moment, I'm just experimenting with bits of the various fabrics until I decide what this quilt is going to look like - the cotton fabrics and the colour pallette are quite a departure for me, so I decided that playing with it would inspire me more than staring at them. *laugh*
So, at the moment, I'm not sure what this will grow up to be, but whatever it is, sometime soon, it might come to you!
In the meantime, happy quilting!
