Give-Away Number One: Name That Quilt!

Here's the prize, the give-away: Eight -- count 'em -- eight FQs of very nice green and purple fabrics that although they are not from the same line, go together very, very beautifully. 100 percent cotton, and all tied up in a pretty green bow (that might go on to enhance your doggy's collar or some such). I won this collection as a door prize, and since it has been on the shelf for a very long time, I thought it should find a good home.

This is the first of my three give-aways for the Memorial Day Weekend, and the only one (I think) that requires any real effort on your part.

Here's a picture of the Quilt With No Name that can't continue on being nameless. And I'm stumped. I considered Chocolate Mint, but that wasn't exactly right. So it is up to you. Leave a comment to this post with the name that you suggest. On Monday night, at the end of the long holiday weekend, Joe and I will review all submissionis and select a winner.

Your packet of green and purple FQs could be ITM as early as Tuesday!

The quilt was made using a technique that Judi taught our hand-sewing group when she was visiting last month from England. Basically, one takes a stack of coordinating fabrics and cuts a stack of squares. The squares are then cut in thirds vertically. The middle third is cut again in thirds, this time horizontally. The center small square from the top fabric is removed and placed on the bottom of the pile. Then the squares are reassembled and trimmed. So easy! And so striking! Judi's sample was 6" squares of batiks. I had these utterly wonderful dusky teal and chocolate FQs that I picked up at the new shop in Bird-in-Hand and cut my squares at 9".

I like this quilt so much. I don't know where it will find a home or when I will have it quilted. But it just can't remain the Quilt With No Name. Please, won't you help?
