It's June! It's my birthday month! It's time to share the June Island Batik Ambassador theme and have a giveaway!
Curves, curves, curves! And like last month I've already picked out my project for this month -- I'm planning to make a two block mini quilt from Pen & Paper Patterns' Marigold pattern. I actually bought this pattern last year during May is for Makers!
Because I plan to use this pattern to make a larger sized quilt for myself or as a gift in the near future, I went ahead and ordered the recommended laser-cut templates from Burntwood and Acrylic on Etsy.
Here's my fabric pull for this project:
My plan is to make two full flowers for my mini, but have them side by side rather than offset. The orange will be the flower fabric, and the purple will be the teardrop accents.
I was able to get all of the pieces cut quite quickly with the templates! For the teardrop accents, I traced the shapes onto the fusible web, ironed the fusible web onto the fabric, and then cut the shapes out.
Next, I'll be working on sewing all of the curves!
Onto the giveaway!
The giveaway this month will be your choice: Island Batik Fat Quarters in colors of MY choice -OR- cuts of any size in colors of YOUR choice -- it's a pick your poison kind of giveaway! Giveaway will close on Friday, June 16th.
Our winner is Pamela!
Happy Monday to you! I am recovering from a whirlwind wedding weekend in Wisconsin (say that three times fast!) so I am in need of a good nap! Sharing at Linky Tuesday!

Your project colors are gorgeous! I already have too much fabric (is there such a thing?) in my favorite colors, so I'd let you choose if I win.
ReplyDeleteIsland Batiks Fat Quarters. Happy Birthday! 24Tangent@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI find I always gravitate to the same colors/patterns when I choose, so I think it's good to step outside your comfort zone and have someone else pick something you may not have yourself!
ReplyDeleteSurprises are the best! Thank you so much for the chance to win some happy mail!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts, so I'm sure I will love your picks! Thanks for the chance to win, and thanks for showing us your current project!
ReplyDeleteI would pick surprise fat quarters. Have a happy birthday month.

ReplyDeleteGetting out of my box would happen if you picked colors. Batiks are also out of my experience, just haven't played much with them. Happy birthday mine was early June.
ReplyDeleteI would like cool colors please, thanks!

ReplyDeleteShould I be lucky enough to win, I would choose the surprise. What could be more fun than a surprise stack of fabric? So sweet of you to share.
ReplyDeleteGosh, as much as I love surprises, I would prefer to choose my own color combination for this prize. I have several "random" batiks that need friends to coordinate with so I can put them all together in one project!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to have you pick!
ReplyDeleteI would pick fat quarters , thanks
ReplyDeleteSurprise fat quarters would be awesome! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI like being surprised so what you pick would be ok with me. Who knows it might be colors I would never have thought of using in my quilts.
ReplyDeleteI would choose the fat quarters and the surprise of their colors. I think this pattern you are working on is just great.
