Summer Clean-Out Island Batik Giveaway!

Update: the giveaway is now closed and the winners are noted below!

It's been a little while since I had an Island Batik giveaway and now is the perfect time! We'll be getting our next Ambassador goodie boxes in July or early August, and I've already set aside the fabrics I'll be using for those projects so I have plenty of fabrics to share!


I sorted through my Island Batik bins (I keep my Island Batik fabrics separated out from everything else!) and found a whole pile of fabrics to share.


I think this is enough fabrics for more than one giveaway given the size of envelopes that I have! I will stuff these envelopes full of fabric, and send them off to (at least!) two winners. This giveaway will close on Monday, July 2nd.

To enter:

1. For everyone: Tell me your favorite scrap busting project! Is it potholders? Crumb quilts? Paper piecing?

2. For followers: There's lots of ways you can follow, just tell me how you keep up with Little Bunny Quilts. (Facebook, Bloglovin', Instagram, etc.)

NOTE: Bloglovin' readers -- you must comment on the actual blog post to be entered -- comments on the Bloglovin feed do not count as giveaway 

Our winners are:


As a bit of a preview, our July theme is secondary designs, so I'll be working on a two block quilt baby quilt. August is our blog hop month showing off the new fabrics that will be shipping to shops throughout the fall and I'll be working with the Jungle Cruise collection. I'll be using it in our Summer Patio pattern!

Have a happy Wednesday! Don't forget to check out our $3 and $5 pattern sale on Etsy!

  2. My favorite scrap busting project is to make easy blocks for charity quilts. The 16 patch is my go-to block. Then I combine them all for a cool scrappy donation quilt.

  12. My favorite scrap busting projects are quilts using crisp white and blocks using 2.5 inch squares and/or strips. I find using white helps all of the scraps play well together.

  27. I haven't managed to use my scraps - I did spend the month of January sorting and cutting into strips and/or squares but nothing since. I made a very large string quilt using scraps, but organized scraps, they were from two similar lines so they meshed well together. I am such a type A I have not been able to bring myself to mix scraps together willy nilly even though I appreciate what other do with that method.

  42. I love making all the scrappy items you suggested, but I have so many scraps that small things don't use them up fast enough. Wonky log cabin blocks (usually monochrome) are my go-to. I make some blocks when I want a quick diversion and eventually I have a big enough stack for a quilt or a small project.

  60. 1. For everyone: Tell me your favorite scrap busting project! Is it potholders? Crumb quilts? Paper piecing?

    I like to crumb piece any leftover scraps from a set of blocks into a similar sized block for my quilts (for example, if I'm making 12" blocks, I save the scraps and improv/crumb piece a 12" block from leftovers).

    2. For followers: There's lots of ways you can follow, just tell me how you keep up with Little Bunny Quilts. (Facebook, Bloglovin', Instagram, etc.)
