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 
I did your Charming Chevrons QAL and am hoping to be able to do Sea of Squares really soon! Either one of them would be a favourite!
I really would have liked to have joined the Modern Trees QAL but at the time was too busy. Abacus looks great too!
Sea of squares and modern trees are on my list.
Love the modern trees! I’m going to go back and check that out!
I haven’t completed any of your quilt-alongs yet, but I would love to follow one someday! My favorite one listed is the Baby Bricks…so versatile with colors and sashing!
I love Sea of Squares. Love the giveaway!
I love quilt-a-longs but can only do sew many! I think samplers are the most fun as each month the block is different. Would love to take part in a MODERN quilt-a-long sampler!
I liked the Modern Trees
I have only just started into quilting and haven’t tried a quilt along yet – I am sporadic with my sewing and guess I doubt I would keep up. I love your hugs and kisses quilt along. I would also love to try your herringbone quilt.
I loved hugs and kisses so much that I already bought the kit!
I love the hugs and kisses quilt with the graduation from light to dark.
The jolly jell roll! Thanks for the chance!
I love these colors and the pattern is awesome!
String of Pearls for me, just waiting to make a backing for it then I can quilt mine!
I like hugs and kisses..you have a fantastic way with color! Very impressive.
Charming chevrons!
My favorites are Jolly Jelly Roll and Modern Trees.
I just found your blog on Bloglovin so I haven’t done any quilt-alongs with you yet. I do love this pattern and your color selection. The grey is such a great new neutral! Following your blog now 🙂
I thought String of pearls was the best one, although it’s not on that page. I would love to do abacus with prints.
I would have to pick Sea of Squares, but this new one “Abacus” looks like a lot of fun. Think I will have to try it. Thanks
My favourite is the Modern Trees. Gorgeous!
I really like your Sea of Squares quilt along
The charming cheverons is my favorite and this is a great giveaway, thanks.
I love the sea of squares. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sea of Squares is a beautiful quilt.
I love the modern trees quilt along.
And yes, your batch “Christa’s Quilt Along” has been on my blog since the Mod Tree QA.

I loved your Modern Tree QA – and made 2 quilts with this pattern. I am still on the fence participating in your new QA…, but as you said: you can’t do them all. Thanks so much!
I have not participated in any quilt alongs, but I watch the progress by reading your blog. My favorite is the modern trees.
Hugs and Kisses, and Modern Trees. Actually I like them all. You are my inspiration and am trying something with a modern neutral now.
I’d like to try the hugs and kisses in a brighter palette of rich greens to blues to purples. Yum!
Sea of Squares was my favorite, but love Kona Solids.
I like your hugs and kisses quilt along. I love the colours in your bundle.
I’d like to try the abacus quilt along
I really like your Jolly Jelly Roll quilt along. I like how you can make an entire quilt top from one. Thanks for the give away!
Charming Chevrons.
I love modern trees
I love the modern trees! I have never done a quilt along before!
I like every quilt you have used as a quilt-along. Modern Trees especially caught my eye.
Modern trees all the way! I haven’t participated in a quilt along yet, but plan to join in the fun soon.
I love your modern trees for me but I need a gift for my brother and He would like the abacus.
I haven’t done any quilt alongs with anyone yet. I’d like to do one soon. I like your Hugs and Kisses.
I haven’t made it yet, but I like Modern Trees.
Charming Chevrons.
I had fun with the String of Pearls! Love those soluds, too! Thanks for the chance to win.
I have not done a quilt a long before and I am new to your blog. This looks like a fun way to put to use all the scraps I got, Thanks for all you do!
I’ve seen several versions of Modern Trees, and I love each one. This is my choice.
I haven’t done a quilt along before. I do like your modern trees, your new one, and the chevrons. Thanks
I would have to pick Charming Chevrons!
I have done several of your quilt alongs. My favorite quilt is the one I made on the Jolly Jelly Roll quilt along. All the quilt alongs have fun and the quilts turn out very nice.
