Hi Everyone!! Well, in honor of my 68th post coming up, or to celebrate spring, or whatever (that means randomly), I am having a giveaway! I am doing the Orange Crush mystery quilt by Bonnie at Quiltville. So....I had lots of 4 patches left! And what is a girl to do except make a little quilt. The quilt is about 14 x 20 inches approximately, and is called "Harlequin Squares". It is really very square and flat, the picture is not too good. ( Do you like my very old-fashioned wall paper? It is original to the house, in the dining room.) Oh, back to the quilt. I hand quilted it 1 inch apart and hand stippled the border. It has a hanging sleeve and signature and date on the back. I absolutely loved making this quilt! All the fabrics are 1800's reproductions.
So if you would kindly leave me a comment, I will put you in the drawing! If you could pass the drawing on to others in your blog rings, that would be great, too. So comment, OK?!! :) The drawing will be on April 30th, to give lots of people time to comment and participate. There may be other goodies in the package as well!
Ok, these are my colors for the Orange Crush quilt. The orange on top is really more orange than the picture, and the red plaid is more red. Vibrant! I hope it turns out well. These are stash fabrics for the most part. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day today!!JulieK

Oh yes!!!! Me! Me! Me! Put me in for it! I love it! The 1800's fabrics are my favorites! That is one reason that I am doing the Civil War Diary Quilt, because I like the fabrics. I plan on decorating my new house in that style...if we ever get it finished. I just love the little quilt, such a great idea. I am also doing the Orange Crush, but I so like your fabric choices better than mine. I can't wait to see it.

I just read about you and your give-away over on Canton Village Village Quilt Works! What a great blog you have.
And I have to say, I like your wallpaper very much.
And the quilt.....it's fantastic! Keeping my fingers crossed :-)
Wow, this is very nice of you! Look at all of that hardwork. I love reproduction prints! You have a nice blog, I shall come back. Jackie sent me this way.
I just LOVE scrappy quilts. I'm a closet blog watcher and when I saw your lovely quilt I finally decided to comment!!! I'll give your lovely quilt a good home (& send you a pix). Please pick me!
Put me in the draw also...although I never win anything....
Love the little quilt. I am sewing today also...
Your scrappy quilt is just wonderful, as is your handquilting. I love the fabrics you have chosen for your orange crush quilt. We are finally having signs of spring, the sun is out and no snow for several days now. I would love to be included in your giveaway. Thanks, Nancy in MT
What a pretty quilt!
Me too! I love the background/border fabric!
This is a beautiful little quilt. I think I could make a good home for it. I'm glad I found your blog. Jackie at Canton Village sent me over. Love your blog and your quilts. I'll be back!
Ohh...beautiful little quilt...clever to use your leftover scraps from your OC...love the colours. I´ve been very determined NOT to start OC before my CC is finished!!! Borders missing there...
But..please add me to your give away..Thanks
What a lovely quilt.....Put my name down.
Please add my name to the hopefuls. The quilt is terrific.
What a perfect little quilt! Great use of your extra squares. Isn't it just so much fun making little quilts? Takes just a short time - relatively speaking - and gives one such a feeling of accomplishment. This would live very happily at my house!
Please count me in on your drawing!
What a nice prize!
Oh what a nice giveaway! I would love to provide a good home to this lovely quilt!
Yikes I just now finished a post...I'll go edit real quick...great little quilt!
OH OH OH OH This is so cute!!!!! dont you love projects that are leftover ones?? I just made a wee quilt for a swap and I didn't have to make blocks, just used up some bad maths blocks (I can't add up apparently)
This is such a cheery quilt and I need to be cheery'd up! LOL
Lissa
I just think that quilt is calling my name. Pick me!
The little quilt is lovely!
I would be pleased to take part in your giveaway, so please put me in your drawing! Take care!

Julie, that is such a cute little quilt. You did a great job.
That little quilt is absolutely adorable and I will be "crushed" (get it, crushed?) if I don't win! What a sweet and generous thing to do - giving away all that work.
Love your fabric choices for Orange Crush! And your 4 patch leftovers quilt is adorable! Please enter my name in your generous quilt draw!
Your generosity is amazing,
quilted by hand and heart, and you still give it away? ohhhh I hope it's me, I have nothing as fine as this little baby.
thanks, crossing my fingers,
lyn

Don't you love how "words gets out" when it comes to give aways?! Gotta love it. Very sweet quilt! I'd be honored to have it in my home!
Oh beautiful. I like civil war fabrics, but tend to buy bright pink and purples for my 2 young daughters. This would look so great in my office. Yes, I'm a quilter with bare walls. How odd. Aren't we all like the shoemaker's children, or is it just me.
Here I am!!!!
You're so generous!!!!
Thank you very much Julie!!!
Congrats on 68t post. I hope to read at least 668 more. The little quilt is so very cute. You can add me to the drawing.
Count me in. . .. your quilt is beautiful & I would love to have it for my own.
Your Orange Crush fabrics look terrific also!
Sign me up. And by the way, that wallpaper looks just like the paper in my sewing room. It was there when we bought the house in 1984 and is still there.
its absolutely darling, you are so nice

Wow, Julie, how generous of you!!!! Yes, please, put me in the drawing. That is a darling quilt.
What a generous gift!
Yay! A fellow hand quilter! I really like the look of the Harlequin Squares. In the few quilts that I've done, I machine pieced, but hand quilted, and good gracious! it takes a long time. I am completely in awe that you would give a quilt away.
I have to throw my hand in the air .... the quilt is too cute.
this is great!!!. i should learn quilting now..
I'm drooling! I have wanted a quilt for so long and have no sewing skills whatsoever!

Here's to hoping I have a little luck coming my way!! This is an adorable quilt...I would love it and treasure it!
Have a wonderful day!
