Thanks to my fabulous friends at Robert Kaufman for donating this lovely bundle of Kona Solids for one of you to win!
This is to get you guys jazzed about my upcoming Quilt Along which starts next week!
Included in the bundle are 8 fat quarters of the exact same colors I am using in my version of Abacus. They are: Navy, Turquoise, Baby Blue, Jade Green, Berry, Cerise, Petunia and Pomegranate. Also included is a nice sized chunk of Medium Grey which is what I picked for my background and binding.
Now, you don’t have to quilt along to enter and win, and what you make from these fabrics is entirely up to you! The contest is open to everyone through next Tuesday at noon.
To enter, just leave a comment below telling me which is your favorite quilt along that I’ve offered (or one you’d love for me to do in the future).

I know we don’t all have time to do every quilt along, but isn’t it fun to dream, or follow along virtually?

Christa Quilts 
Modern trees Christa, but I am so behind on my projects since school just started and I am beat when I get home, thanks for the chance
The colors, solids and circles of this one are my favorite!
I have never done a quilt along. But I do love dots – big dots – and I do love Kona solids, so this would be perfect for me.
I lobe the baby bricks. Love idea of putting label. Would love to win this
My favorite is the Modern Trees Quiltalong. I’m thinking of making a long pillow for a daybed with a row of lovely trees!
I loved the The Jolly Jelly Roll Quilt – it is beautiful!
Thanks so much for this great giveaway!
String of pearls wins for me. Such a wonderful quilt.
I like your Charming Cheverons the most followed closely by the Modern Trees. Thanks to you and Robert Kaufman for the giveaway. Rohini
Hi Christa just posted on Facebook too! I was having trouble with the button, so I just directed them to go to your website.
I like things easy — so many quilts, so little time! I really enjoyed your Sea of Squares, but have yet to quilt the top. =)
Thanks for a great giveaway. I love Robert Kaufman Konas and all the luscious colors!
I really like The Modern Trees. Could do it for any season with the right fabric.
My favourite quilt along is Modern trees, I hope to make one for Christmas.
I think that my favorite quilt-along so far has been the trees.
All of them are my favourites but if I had to pick one it would be the Jolly Jelly Roll which gave me the idea for my own double bed quilt using jelly rolls. Your quilts are one of my sources of inspiration!
I would like to make a modern quilt with these…..my first one of this type!
I have two favorites. Sea of Squares – which I finished and put the butterflies on. And Modern tree’s that I’m almost done with the quilting. Thanks for a chance to win. 🙂
I love the baby bricks. It was really interested to see how to put a label. Labels are so important but no always out on quilts
I have not done any of the QAL’s but I think the trees or the chevron would be fun ones!
I liked Modern Trees (and String of Pearls). I especially like that you take us all the way through the FMQ too! That’s the best part to me!
Your Quilt-along logo is on my blog! Loving the newest design!
Loved Modern Trees! I need to finish mine up before this Christmas (I have the center done but I wanted to add an additional border before quilting it up).
Modern Trees!! Love these Kona colors!! Thanks for another giveaway!!
I’ve had your Charming Chevrons on my list of quilts to make for a long time so that’s definitely my favorite so far!
My favorite quilt ALONG was Modern Trees, but I have worked on almost all your QAL and have enjoyed each one.
I like your Sea of Squares quilt along.
Maybe a quilt along with stars.
I fell in love with the String of Pearls quit-a-long and the Pearl Bracelets fabric as well. I would like to try and have a Labyrinth quilt-a-long. I have seen a picture of one and often thought that this would be fun as well as intriquing. Besides, I just knew you can do this. Thank you for all of them and the chance to become a winner.

I have your Baby Bricks in my stack of things to make. Wanting to make a couple of baby gifts.
I think “Modern Trees” is my favorite. However, I can see me making your “Abacus” pattern too.
I have the Charming Chevron on my list of quilts to do…. as well as the Christmas trees…
thanks for the giveaway
I did your Sea of Squares and Charming Chevrons and my favorite by far is the chevrons.
Dear Christa,
I love you modern trees qal!
thanks for the chance!
Greetings, Rike
I like all your quilt alongs but am particularly drawn to the Charming Chevrons. The bold colors make this an exciting quilt!
The Christmas trees… No question! 🙂
Enjoyed the Sea of Squares quilt-along. Thanks for chance to win.
Those cute modern trees are my favorite!
I am also thinking you did a QAL for String of Pearls. I also remember a Log Cabin Wreath. In your current list of tutorials, I like Sea of Squares and Modern Trees.
I like the color choices for your new QAL. That Cerise really makes the quilt pop.
I really enjoyed your Jolly Jelly Roll and Sea of Squares quilt-alongs. I particularly enjoy your detailed quilting directions/examples! I would love to follow you on a Modern X quilt-along.
Thank you & Robert Kaufman for the great Kona giveaway opportunity!
Modern trees!!! I think I made 4 of those quilts, loved it!!! I would love to do your wonky log cabin or some sort of scrap quiltalong! Anything you pick will be great!
Your Jelly Roll Quilt Along has been my favorite, and I’m looking forward to your next one. Thanks.
Modern Trees is my favorite but Sea of Squares is a very close second. From the looks of your new one it just might be Abacus.
Love the Modern Chevron. So pretty.
Hmmm… I thought you did a QAL for the String of Pearls. Maybe not, but I love that quilt! I also really love the Modern Christmas Trees quilt. I haven’t had the time to join in any QAL yet, but I’d love to find some time to get that trees quilt done!
I think my favorite one so far is the Christmas tree. It was very unique and I want to do a Christmas quilt. It was very fun seeing it in person at HMQS after following your posts.

Wasn’t String of Pearls a QAL? I thought I was doing it with you. Still intend to do the Modern trees, especially with Christmas coming up. Thanks.
Modern trees and Charming Chevrons are my favorites..
I think this one is my favorite. It’s a great to get me to do applique. It’s definitely not my favorite!
Charming chevrons went to my mom and dad and is a very loved quilt there! You really do some lovely work with great colors! Looking forward to this next quilt along. I am thinking it will stay with me!

Drooling over the colors!!! I love your Charming Chevrons and Modern Trees, but I am really looking forward to Abacus!!! Love the circles!!!!!
Well, when I saw the Modern Tree quilt, I thought this one is my favorite ….until I saw Hugs N Kisses…..and then I saw Sea of Squares…..so now I have to pick just one…..don’t think so 🙂
Charming Chevrons! LOVE it!
