Thing 2
love the colors in both kits. The Suess quilt is cute
Thank you for the patterns! Both are awesome and I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the two when I want and am ready to make one.
I adore your block...I can imagine all kinds of great fabric choices and settings for it. BUT...that Fresh Cottons fabric and setting is about as perfect as it gets. Just beautiful. I love the Dr. Seuss too but I don't have any little ones to sew for. All the same, thanks for a chance to win a kit and I am totally looking forward to listening in with Pat. Thanks so much and good luck to everyone. Congrats again on making the magazine with your wonderful design!

These are wonderful patterns. I would love to win one of these kits. I would use the kit to make a quilt or 2 for my church's Hugs Ministry. We make quilts, pair them with stuffies and give them to the local fire department for kids in crisis situations. Thank you for the opportunity and for sharing what you do with all of us. Take care and God bless, Cory

Julie,
I just picked up my copy of 100 blocks and I love it! Your block is awesome....so simple and elegant!! I love the Dr. Seuss Quilt; it's perfect!! Congrats!
Beautiful, beautiful quilts! I love the fabrics.
I love both of those quilts. I love how you can keep the same block but make the quilts look so different by the layout and fabric choices.
I will be listening in to your interview!
Love seeing the two quilts in the different fabrics.
I'm looking forward to hearing you on Pat's show!
Cynthia
Great block Julie! i love seeing all the different colorways and layouts.

Every version looks completely different. They are very nice! Have fun on Pat's show :)
love the quilts!
I need to learn better time management so I can create as many beautiful things!
Those two quilts are great!! I also can't wait to hear you on Pat Sloan's show. I listen later on my iPod - something to look forward to!!
I love the second pattern, I thought it was the most 'me' pattern out of those that you could do with your block. I'm sure my kids would prefer Dr Seuss though - we have an original Dr Seuss from my childhood, all sticky taped together that the girls love :-)
This could just be the fire under my butt that I need!
LOLLLL at Heathers post! I really do enjoy giveaways and this one is no exception! Both quilts are wonderful and they look so different!

Both of these quilts are beautiful...it doesn't matter which one I win...I love them both..thanks for a great giveaway..
Am I too old for Dr. Seuss? I think not! Love it--and I love this design. It is so perfect for showing off all the great new prints out there and has a new look with a switch of fabrics--two of the best things a pattern can have!
I would love to have one of your kits. Thanks for the chance. nanasew at gmail dot com
