This is my 500th post, so I'm going to give away this set of 5 fat quarters of Katie Jump Rope fabric. Leave me a comment and I will draw a name to determine a winner. Like last time, leave me your name, where you are from, what your favorite work in progress project is. (Because I am assuming you all have a plethora of WIP's, like me.) :)
Here's an example: My name is AmandaJean and I live in Wisconsin. My favorite WIP is my son's orange and grey quilt. I love it not only because it is coming together nicely, but because he is eagerly awaiting it's finish. He asks me EVERY day if it is done yet. Love that.
Also, I picked a name from all the comments from Small Projects Week, and Katie K, you are my winner. You will receive a half yard of my favorite red polka dot fabric. Thanks to all of you who commented.
Have a great Monday!
edit: the contest is now closed.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 845 Newer› Newest»HI, first of all congratulations about all this post.My name is Mercedes and I live in Madrid ( Spain ) my favourite wip is just what I´m doing right now and you can see in my blog done with little prairie points quilt with free motion ( I´m a newbie since I found your tutorial )The model is from the Bake shop ( I found when you told about your tutoril there ) and it´s a baby quilt although I added some borders to be bigger, it´s a really nice and easy quilt I will enjoy for myself because the other first three quilts starting with free motions were gifts and now I want one for me !!

Hi, I'm Karen from London, England and my favourite WIP is my DD's Regency period dress for St. Georges Day on Thursday. So I should be sewing that rather than be on here lol
My name is Tammy and I live in Alabama. I am working on a lap quilt for my husband, using wonky blocks. I hope to finish it SOON!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Hey, congrats on your 500th post!
I'm Liz, I live in Massachusetts. My favorite WIP is the lap-sized quilt I'm making for my stepmom. I started it six months ago and had the top finished in a weekend. But I procrastinated and procrastinated on the quilting because I'm just not comfortable with it. Well, FINALLY in the last week or two, I've gotten the free-motion stippling thing down and now I am CRUISING! So that's why it's my favorite. :-)
my name is Joanna Wilde and i'm from california. my fav WIP is a little toddler backpack i made the design for! can't wait to find the time to finish it!
Congrats on the 500 posts!
My name is Karen and I'm in Ontario, Canada. My favorite WIP right now is a Mod Sampler quilt which was taught by Elizabeth of Oh, Fransson! I've learned so much from doing it as I have from following your blog. I love it b/c it's the first quilt I've done for my home and I adore the Moda fabrics I'm using.
I'm Andrea in Canada and my fave WIP (out of the huge pile years old) is a recent quilt called "Day & Night" - my own pattern, with yellow and a navy fabric with stars all over it. It has a pieced back in your style. :)
Wow! Congrats on 500! My name is Tina and I live in Rhode Island. I don't have a favorite WIP, which is probably why so many projects are unfinished. If i had to choose, it would be a blue and white quilt top for a neighbor's confirmation.
Hi AmandaJean
My name is Isa, I live in Denmark. My favorite WIP for the moment are my hexagon quilt made of Liberty of London fabric. I love the fabric because of the colorful print, and the feel of it. I fell in love with hexagon quilts at first sight, but this is the first (and certainly not last)that I attempted.
I love your blog!! Thank you for taking time to teach and inspire.
Hi! I'm Jessica from the greater Seattle area. My favorite WIP right now is Barney's Blocks as it was made in memory of my husband's grandfather. :)
Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I'm from Erie, Pennsylvania. My current favorite work in progress is a birthday banner. I love it because I'm using charm packs that were from my mom's stash. This makes me happy because she picked the fabrics that will be at every birthday gathering in my home from now on; we get to have some small part of her even though she won't be here.
Hi. My name is Erin from Georgia. My favorite WIP is a nifty apron I'm making. I would like to be making a quilt with Katie Jump Rope fabric so I really need to win so I can add a few more 5 quarters and I don't have any of the ones you have pictured. So pick me, pick me!!
Hi! My name is Lisa and I live in Upper Michigan. My favorite WIP is probably my cherry quilt. It is so cheerful that I can't help but smile when I look at it.
Congrats on your 500 posts! I have read them all! :o) You must have the energy of a 3 year old little boy- you get so much done! LOL!
Hi, my name is Theresa and I live in Maryland. I have several things I am working on right now. I think my favorite is the polka dot and zig zag I'm working on for a friend's son's 1st birthday.
Gin from NC -- favorite work in progress, a tunic! Congrats on the 500th! :)
Hi!
I'm Kata from Kecskemét, Hungary, Europe:) My favourite wip is... Sorry, I don't have any wips:)) I like projects what I start and finish in some days... If I don't finish it because I have to sew another one or I don't like it any more, I'll never finish it... So if I don't like it, it always goes to the dumpster:))
This is Nicole from Annapolis, Maryland. I love reading your blog from my computer at work, it really brightens my day. You are a big inspiration for bloggers and non-bloggers alike. I am working on my second quilt, I'm following your stacked coins pattern, and I really love how it's so cheerful. The only problem is that my stacked coins are not coming out exactly evenly at one end (or I should say, not nearly even!), I need to figure out a solution but I don't have one yet-- any suggestions? I'm also trying to learn to stiple using a quilt top that I don't like. It's tricky and it makes me respect you Professionals even more! I want to to make storage cubes next, hopefully my husband will help me, at this point he's handier than I am!
Best,
Nicole

My name is Elizabeth, I am living in UT (but home is PA). My favorite WIP is an orange and white Drunkard's Path quilt I'm making. I've been working on it for a year, and am in love with all of the curved seams and finally getting out of the squares and triangles box. Congratulations on your 500th post!
I'm Sol from Norway. My favourite (and oldest)WIP is my Dear Jane quilt. I've been working on it for nine years now, and I've come as far as the handquilting. The handquilting is quite a challenge for me, so I wonder if it will take another nine years to finish.
Hello! My name is Gail and I am from St. Louis. My favorite work in progress is a gnome home! I am loving it. My son loves his haba gnomes, so I thought I could make an easy gnome pattern! Then I moved on to their home. Sort of a smurf house meets PBK's mouse house. Now my daughter thinks she needs one. I have been so busy working on WIP's that I am behind in blog reading and writing. Love the small projects! You are awesome!
Mandy from TN. I only have one WIP - it's an improv baby quilt using David Walker robots. I just ordered some Katie Jump Rope for my future WIP but I need some more! Congrats on 500 posts!
Hi. My name is Lori and my work of the moment...well, there's a couple of them. But the one I'm trying to finish is the colour wheel from Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts.
Reason - my very "14" year-old daughter says she likes it! Who knew?
My name is Valerie, and I'm from Oklahoma. I'm working on several projects for my son's birthday party this weekend -- a Peter Pan picnic in the park (say that five times fast). I need to crank out a teepee (tutorial from Sew Mama Sew) and some flag banner garlands.
Thank you for your wonderful blog -- one of my favourite places to visit each day. My work in progress is a double-bed sized quilt in black and white. Much too ambitious for my limited skills, but I'm hoping it will turn out ok. The top is finished -- waiting for local shop here in Israel to have some cotton batting so I can continue. And awaiting inspiration for what to use for the backing. All the best to you -- from Jean (Nahariya, Israel).
Hi my name is Julie. My fav WIP in my fourth of July quilt, it is red white and blue stars.
Hey! My name is Shannon and I'm from Georgia. My favorite WIP would have to be my quilt for my bed. I'm excited about seeing it completed. Now, if only I was more motivated!

Hi my name is Lee. You are the reason I started quilting again and started my own blog. So inspirational. I live in Calgary, Canada. I am working on my first Disappearing Nine Patch. It is being made for my step grandmother that is 86 and always a little chilled! I am calling it 'lemonade' as it is in soft pinks, yellows, white and greens.
HA! I didn't read all the directions. My WIP list is a little embarrassing. I would have to go with a baby quilt for a friend. It is a flannel little lovely. In the purse department. Has to be my Amy Butler birdie sling. . . for me!
I'm Julianna from Chicago and my favourite work of progress are my 3 girls but apart from that I'm working on a quilt with the Look/Learn line from American Jane that is so cute!

http://bridgetbaxter.blogspot.com/2009/04/ta-da-double-layer-skirt.html

I'm Amy from MA. At the moment, my favorite WIP is my baby girl due in 6 weeks. She is starting to slow me down so my other WIPs are likely to be slow going but that's ok with me for now!
My name is Kristi, I live on the California coast. My favorite work in progress is a jean blanket/quilt. My grandmother made some when I was a little girl, my mom still keeps them in the trunk of her car. We take them to the beach or a park to lay out and sit on. Every time they get used it brings a smile to my face to think that the blanket was made using my papa's old jeans. :)
Love the blog. Thanks for keeping me inspired! I'm Christine from Virginia. I have an embarrassing number of WIPs. My favorite is probably the quilted growth chart I'm working on for my daughter. We move a lot, so I needed one that wouls move with us!
My name is Patty and I live in Texas. My favorite WIP is my king size strip quilt being made from men’s shirts. I love it because the cost is very low and the size is very big.
Congrats! 500! WOW! (My little blog just barely made it to 50!)
My name is Christina M. From Houston, Texas. My favorite work in progress (and maybe favorite project ever) is the breast cancer pink ribbon quilt that I am making for my hubby's Aunt. She's been fighting for almost a year and it looks like she's finally got it beat! I've got to get it done in time for our visit in two weeks!
Thanks for the giveaway! My mind is racing with all the projects I could do with soo many fat quarters!

I'm Jenny from Blacksburg, Virginia. I am working on a black and white music quilt for my sister-in-law. She's an elementary school music teacher, and I love her and cant wait to surprise her with it!!
Hi AmandaJean
I'm AJ (yes, same initials!) and I'm from Scotland. I'm very new to the world of quilting and have learned a lot from reading your blog. You make some great things and it's always a pleasure to see all the wonderful colours and how you put them together.
I have no ambition to make an actual quilt, more into small things like bags etc. I have many UFOs, but I'd like to reinstate one as a WIP - my first patchwork and quilted bag from a Japanese craft book. I just got some handles from Etsy - the same kind as in the book, so this will spur me on to actually *quilt* the sandwiches for back and front and put it all together.
Many thanks and congrats on your big blogthday!
Cheers,
AJ
Right now my favorite WIP is Double Delight (Bonnie Hunter) I'm also working on various charity quilts for our church and local hospital. I love this blog and all your projects. I just finished the baby Chinese coin quilt you featured on Moda bake shop.
Hi! I'm Jill from Utah and I love Katie Jump Rope! I have about 4 WIP project going. A flannel strip baby quilt, a fun quilt for my daughter for her new room, a table runner for mother's day, and a throw quilt all ready to machine quilt. There you have it! Love your ideas, keep them coming!
I'm Alyson from Raleigh, NC. I am working on a quilt using Amy Butler's daisy chain fabrics along with making many baby shower gifts! Congrats on your 500th post! I enjoy seeing all your WIP and it makes me want to start them up too!
I'm Elizabeth, from Missouri. My current WIP are bibs for a baby shower this Sunday! I can't remember how I came across your blog a couple of months ago - but you are such an inspiration! I have a question - how/where do you organize your fabric stash and do you have a dedicated sewing room/space? Maybe an idea for a future blog post???
Congrats on 500 posts!
My name is Brooke. I'm from California. My favorite WIP is a flying triangles quilt top hat is done and awaiting the next step! I have an almost 4 month old as a distraction!
My name is Megan and I'm from Atlanta. I'm working on a quilt where all the blocks are different layouts of squares and rectangles. It's my first time doing a somewhat improv-ish quilt!
I'm Charlotte from Texas, and my favorite WIP is actually a ragged squares quilt inspired from your tutorial; I'm excited about it because 1) it's a wedding gift for very dear friends and 2) I'm a quilting novice just getting back into it after quite a hiatus, and this is the first project that I'm doing without assistance (though I have the best quilting mentors) from picking the fabric to sewing the binding.
I so enjoy your blog!
Hi, I am Amanda from Ingalls, IN. My favorite current project is the metropolitan bag from Indigo junction.

Aloha from Hawaii! I'm Joan and I'm a self-taught and inspired (from blogs like yours)quilter. I printed out some photos on fabric about 10 years ago of our annual Christmas get togethers throughout the years from my mom's house. Just last week I finish piecing them together and if all thngs go well, I'll finish it in time for my 103 years old dad to see it (my goal, finish it this month, wish me luck, this is my first attempt to machine quilt). I would LOVE to win your fat quarter set....LOVE the color combos!
Hi! I'm Kirsten and I'm from Washington, DC. Currently, I'm only about 2 blocks from the Capitol where all the fun political action takes place! :) My favorite work in progess, at the momement, is a funky colored log cabin quilt. The blocks go together mighty quick and I think I'm going to sash them in white on point to make it even funkier. I can't wait to see how it turns out! :)

My name is Jen I live in Northern Nevada. I've completed my very first quilt top for my 9 month old daughter, made of Moda charm packs in "Sultry". Now I'm practicing free form quilting on scrap sandwiches. Once I get this down, I'll attempt my quilt top. It's scary b/c I'm not very good. Still need lots of practice, but I'll get there. This quilting thing has become an addiction and obsession for me! Next task...learn binding!!
I'm Shelley C from northern Maine. We are having a spring like day today with temps in the 50s. I have a ragged edge bullseye top in progress. THese were swap blocks and some are alittle off...it stalled me for a while. They have yellow backgrounds and floral circles. Will be pretty when done.

I'm Amber from Northeast Georgia. I'm working on a fabulous bright summer quilt using Moda's Fresh by Deb Strain.
I am Linda from Amish country in Ohio. I am working on a queen-sized bed quilt for our bedroom. It is the most complicated piecing I have tried to date and I love it. Thanks for the giveaway. Love your blog!
Congratulations on 500 posts!

I'm Erin from Texas, and my favorite WIP is a ruffled diaper bag I'm making for my daughter. I love it because the fabrics are cute together, and I think it's going to look great when its finished. :)
Hi, I'm Dawn from Nevada. I am working on a Sunbonnet Sue that has been a WIP for a few years now! Thanks for a great giveaway...love the fabric!
Congratulations on your 500th post! I'm Collette from Chicago. My current favorite WIP (is it a WIP if you've only purchased the fabric? I say yes--at least today) is a quilt I'm making for the guest bed in my son's room. Oddly enough, it's from Katie Jump Rope fabrics. Kismet? We'll see!
Hi there, Caroline from the UK here. My favourite WIP of the moment is a commisioned quilt for a young child. The theme is dragonflies and daisies in beautiful fabrics in raspberry and turqoise. It's coming along well - the last bit of applique going on tomorrow!
I'm Jessica, and I live in Texas. One of my favorite WIPs (too many that I love, so I don't know if it's the absolute favorite) is the Geese in the Forest BOM from Twiddletails. Either that one or my king-sized City Girls quilt for my bed -- love that brown, pink, and green!
Hi, I am Betsy, from Tennessee. I have several wips, but my favorite is one i am working on for our bed, it is blues and greens! it will make our bedroom much more enjoyable if i can ever finish it!!
Hi.
I'm Irene. I live in Finland. My favorite WIP is a bed spread quilt for my daughter. It is my first "big" attempt at free motion machine quilting. The front and back are ready, so it is awaiting quilting and binding. Unfortunately, I ran out of cotton batting and I don't have time to drive to the quilt store (an hours drive one way) until late next week.
I love your work! I can't believe you achieve so much in so little time!
Take care.
Hi Amanda Jean...
My name is Debbie from San Diego Ca.
I have two WIP going on. One is a scrappy yellow quilt.
And the other is a Dog quilt for my granddaughter.
Congrats on your 500!
Hi! I'm Kourtney from Kentucky!!! My favorite WIP is a patchwork quilted tote that I am working on. I love blacks and whites especially when you add one accent color, so my tote is crisp blacks and whites with pops of yellow!!! I can't wait to use it as my daily carry all!!!
Holy Cow 328 comments. That's my lucky number. Chris from Wisconsin checking in. I'm working on my Spice Market quilt and I'm almost finished. Just a binding left to do.
My name is Hjordi and I am from Wisconsin. I have 2 projects I am working on: one is a quilt for my nieces' wedding gift and the other is my new handmade card business. I love them both for different reasons!
Congrats on your 500th post! My name is Cheryl and I live in Illinois. My favorite WIP is a seat cushion and curtains for our guest room. It took me FOREVER to pick the perfect fabric, but I found one I absolutely LOVE and now can't wait to see it in the room!!

I'm hoping to finally get the quilting done on it this week.
My name is Amelia and I'm from Utah. I'm working on a log cabin quilt that is in pink and pastels. Perfect for a little girl. Unfortunately, I love it so much I don't know if I can give it away and I just have boys.
My name is JaiCi and I am currently living in Provo, Utah. My most favorite work in progress is the quilt that I am making for my little girl when we move her to a big-girl bed. I have about 9 months to finish it, but it's so awesome already :)
I'm Tiffany from Missouri. My favorite WIP is a cute baby quilt with some fun cotten prints, some chenille, and some flannel. I bought all of the material some time ago to make for my first child (now 3 1/2 years old); however, never got it finished because it is a girly quilt and I ended up having a son! Hoping to get to finish it for a little niece:)
Tracy from Wisconsin, and my favorite WIP is the gray virtual bee quilt, because it is a mixture of so many elements. I love fining ways to incorporate texture, and I love the element of surprise with each quilter's block!
Happy 500 AJ!

My name is Eileen and my favorite WIP -- at the moment -- is a cool block exchange quilt featuring a LeMoyne Star and a four-patch star. I love it and am giving it to my aunt Chris, who's more like my sister, as soon as it's done (she doesn't know that I'm giving it to her, so there's ultimately no pressure ... that might not be such a good thing, eh?). I know she'll love it because she's always doing something for someone else ... and she deserves something nice!

Ack! 350+ comments, you have so many more followers then I ever imagined :)
I'm Stephanie, and I (just recently) relocated from Tx to Tucson, Az (via military orders for my husband) Ah, my work(s) in progress are many! My machine has been packed up for 6+ weeks now, and I haven't been able to unpack it. My fondest work I've done is the ragged square quilt you so generously helped me with, and commented on. :)
Hey there! I'm Vicki and from Rockford, IL. My favorite WIP is a log cabin/panel quilt. It has these nice earthy tones and goes with this camping theme that my husband loves (he was in boy scouts and is an Eagle scout). I can't wait to get this one done so I can have pictures, but my mom borrowed my sewing machine as hers broke (again). Love your work!

Hi, I'm Angela. I'm from Los Angeles, and my one and only project is a twin-sized scrappy pinwheel quilt that I'm making for my son when he graduates to his first real bed. I have been working on it very slowly since he was born, and he is about to turn two! So I am finally on the home stretch, hoping to finish it in the next few weeks.
Happy 500th post! I'm Stacey from Seal Beach, CA. My favorite WIP is the Mr. Foster kit from knitpicks. He's a sock monkey and I've got him complete except for his ears and this drives my 7 year old daughter crazy. She is constantly putting him in front of me and saying "Mom, he needs his ears!". Thanks for the give away; that fabric looks yummy.
I am Alyssa from Sherman Oaks, CA. My WIP is a memory quilt I am making from my boys baby clothes. I have just starting quilting again after an absence of 4 years (my twin boys are turning 4 in June). I am so excited to be back.

Congratulations on your 500th! My name is Katie and I live in New Jersey. My favourite WIP right now is not at all pretty: it's a diffuser cover for my brother's light box (as I understand, this is a box you put over your flash which broadens and diffuses the light in order to have more natural and soft lighting in night-time/indoor photos - similar to those umbrellas they use at a portrait studio) I love this project because it's for my darling talented brother and it's been fun figuring out how to make it work best. I hope he likes it!
Hi! My name is Amy and I live in Michigan. I have lots and lots of WIPs, but my favorite one is a pink and brown quilt for my 9 month old daughter. I am working on stippling it right now, and I'm trying to figure out what fabric I want to use for binding. I love how you do patchwork bindings so I think I'm leaning towards doing something like that. I love your blog!
Emily from NC. My favorite WIP...too many to count. I'm trying to get stock set up so I can open up a store on Etsy. So lots of baby bloomers/onsie sets and baby slings are in progress right now
