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).
Click here to see all of my quilt alongs.
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 
Really enjoyed lots of your sew a-longs but “Hugs & Kisses” is jut so cute.
Abacus is stunning, but I think Hugs and Kisses might be my favorite!

I love them all. That way I see something all the way through without something else interfering: life, duties, chores, etc.
I love Hugs and Kisses!! .. and the quilt is lovely, too!!
those colors are really pretty. I am excited to attend your quilt along virtually; it is the first one you have had since I started following your blog so it will be my first experience at one; sounds like such fun!
QAL are always fun! But this year I have 4 quilts to make for Christmas so adding another one is out of the question! 🙂 but I will follow you all along to see what variations you will come up with. I participated to the Modern Trees QAL so I have to pick that as a favorite! thanks for the chance to win!
Love quilting along virtually when there is not time to quilt — Love all the ones you have done, but the The Jolly Jelly Roll Quilt is my favorite because it is quick and easy and at my level 🙂 .
If I had time I would do sea of squares. It is on my to make list.
I think your hugs and kisses is intriguing. As I’ve begun to follow blogs I keep coming back to your because it it is informative,light and chearful. Your quilts are the type I’m drawn to. Your current one Will be fun to see done . Thanks for sharing as an equal download. Of course I’d love to win the material.
String of pearls was my favourite quilt along, but it’s not on the quilt along page any more, so I’ll say charming chevrons. Are the instructions for pearls available somewhere else? I had plans to make it, but can’t now.
Sea Of Squares Quilt-a-long is my favorite and one of these days I will make this quilt because I love it and I especially love the fabric colours you chose!!!
Charming Chevrons is my favorite so far but this new QAL looks fun. I might have ro find the time to try it!!
Such pretty colors. I loved yur Christmas Tree QAL last year. I found it easy to follow and I kept up! This one looks interesting., Now, to find the time.
I have never participated in a quilt along but I would love to have a go at Abacus.
Modern Trees! I started reading your blog last year and loved watching this happen. Thanks for a great giveaway. x
It’s really hard to pick just one, but if pressed, I’d have to choose Abacus!
I already have your button in my sidebar !
I loved all QAL but made only Hugs’n Kisses. 🙂
I love Modern Trees!
Charming Chevrons would be my favorite. dahlgren0609 at gmail dot com
Hmmm. I haven’t been following long enough to have had a chance at any except the tree one. But looking over them, if I had been around I’d have probably done the charming chevrons.
I love the Jolly Jelly Roll best, but Huggs N Kisses is one I will make also.
I have never made a just solids quilt so I will try it start Abacus also.
The only Quilt Along of yours I have joined was the Modern Trees, and I loved it!
The Abacus looks fabulous!
Thanks for the giveaway! and pointing me in the direction of your QALs – didn’t know they were there (or had forgotten – I will pin it this time). Now on my to-do list is charming chevrons and Modern Trees.
My favorite is the Christmas Trees. I’m hoping to have enough time to make one before Christmas gets here!!
I love the Sea of Squares quilt, especially the seaglass colors. Thanks for the great fun giveaway.
I so much love your Xmas trees!
Wonderful colors. I would like to see something using about 5 FQ’s.
Love the colors and the idea of an abbacus.
Modern trees has been my favourite so far because I crossed off many names on my Christmas list with that inspiration—– not to mention wheedling down my stash.

Being a mathematician, I love the abacus but may have to add some more beads.
