Big Half Way Mark Giveaway for the We Can Do It! Skill Builder Sampler
I can't believe there have been 6 months of the We Can Do It! Skill Builder Sampler!
We started out by making sure we had the basics covered with cutting, 1/4 inch seams and pressing while making these blocks. (oh, how I miss the days when my backyard was green...)
With all the different skills I tried to show many different methods for getting the same result. We learned the traditional, corner to corner and magic method of making flying geese.
Then we learned how to make 1/4 square triangles and played around with improvisation.
(I just realized I never wrote up the 1/4 square triangle math post...oops...coming soon...)
We tried out paper and fabric foundation piecing and started paper piecing.
It was hard to get a picture of them all! |
December - Applique (many different methods will be shown)
January - Curved Blocks
February - Wonky Blocks
March - Odd Shapes (tumblers, apple cores, hexagons)
April - Inset Seams
May - There is No Way I Can Make That Block! Blocks :)
For those who love reproduction fabric:
A jelly roll of 1862 Battle Hymn and one yard of Kona Snow.
For those who are drawn to brights:
10 fat quarters of Treasures and Tidbits and 1.5 yards of Kona White.
For sweet dot lovers:
8 fat quarters of assorted dots, a half yard of the pink floral from Snippets,
and 1.5 yards of Kona Unbleached (my favorite "white").
Any of these prize packages would be enough fabric to make a large lap sized quilt.
To be entered in the giveaway:
- You must have completed blocks 1-18 in the We Can Do It! Skill Builder Sampler. A list of all blocks and links to the tutorials can be found at the link at the top of the page.
- You must post a picture of all of your blocks on the Skill Builder Sampler flickr site or email me a picture of the completed blocks.
- Then leave a comment in this post. Let me know what fabric package you would like if you are the randomly selected winner.
The giveaway closes on Friday, December 2nd at 7:00 am Central Time, at which time a randomly selected person will win the fabric package of their choice. That gives you two weeks to catch up. Totally do-able. :)
