I love the Water color and it would go great with the quilt I'm currently working on!

dungeonquilter said...

My favorite color is Surf. It just makes me feel happy.
What a beautiful quilt and pattern.

Cindy G. said...

I like the colors you chose for this quilt, but I think my favorit is the wisteria.

Abby W @ColorBarQuilts said...

I love Water thanks for a chance to win. Your Hex N More ruler is so Cool.

felice said...

I love the Wisteria...all one might needs is an arbor!

Jodie said...

I like surf. I love how all the colors came together in this pattern. So pretty.

Shae said...

I love this pattern! Regal is my favorite color out of that collection!

Dayjilly said...

I have to pick Water. I'm deep into blues currently while working on quilts for sons who have requested those colors. They're peaceful happy colors.

VickiT said...

OOOH This is a super easy question for me Julie. I LOVE Tulip. In the entire blog tour for the new colors, that was the first one I saw and with purple being my favorite color, this one was screaming at me. It's hard to find a shade of purple like that. I've looked a bit because that is my favorite shade of purple. I either find lighter or darker, but not that one.

This is a great prize package. Awesome even. I love this quilt.
Gosh, now I can't do anything else until this giveaway is over since I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed. LOL

Anna said...

AWESOME giveaway!! (Fingers crossed...) I love the Water color, but i have been getting more into greens, so the chartreuse is also a fantastic color.

Katy said...

I love the bahama blue! I think it goes with everything.

Christy said...

The Chartreuse is my favorite, but Water is great too!

Christy said...

The Chartreuse is my favorite, but Water is great too!

Diane said...

I am a green person. So I pick Leprechaun. Thanks for the giveaway.

I'm really drawn to Regal for some reason. I'm not a huge purple person, but it's such a rich color.

freakadoodles said...

I like Bahama Blue. Great giveaway!

I guess Bahama blue and Water would be the top. But I really like them all!

Favorites are hard!

Unknown said...

I do love purples, so I'll pick Wisteria, but what I really like is the combo you have picked out. Wonderful! Thanks :)

Caty said...

My favorite from this bunch has to be Leprechaun...it somehow straddles that line of bright and relaxing. Plus, it reminds me of summer chilling in the grass, which is key right now!

Cindy said...

I am going to scream if I win this!! I have been eyeballing that pattern. Just ordered the hexi ruler, but I know my sister will steal it the next time she's over, so a spare would be great. :o) My favorite color in here is Surf. I'm crossing my fingers!!!

Leprechaun is my favorite. My husband and I met in high school 39 years ago. It was a new HS and we got to choose the colors and mascot. We voted and leprechaun green and gold won for the colors. For the past 32 years my husband has been a physical education teacher and coach in this same HS. He wears this color green at least 3 times a week. I had better like it...haha.
