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.

Hi, I'm Paula from Nevada. I have more than a few WIPs. My favorite is an Aunt Sukey's choice (Nancy Martin pattern) in pink for my daughter. I've only been working on it for ten years (daughter is 6), so it should be done any day now, huh?
Hi! My name is Rebecca and I am from Minneapolis, MN. I have been wrapping up a lot of my WIP recently! I have been on a mission! My favorite is a tie- I am working on my first sewn clothing item for my daughter- and Oliver and S dress, and I am working on my first quilt- a doll quilt for my daughter's doll. I love reading your blog and hop to someday make some beautiful quilts like you do!
I'm Frogdancer from Melbourne Australia. I work full time and am raising my 4 teenage boys by myself. NATURALLY that's why I chose to start work on a Queen-sized string quilt and a Queen sized hand sewn Tumbling Dice quilt. I obviously have too much time on my hands (cough cough!) I estimate that I'll be seeing these lovelies on my bed by the time I'm ready to retire. But I love the thought of them.
Congrats on the 500!
My name is Donnelly. I am from Twin Falls, Idaho. My favorite WIP is my Grandmother's Flower Garden that I am working in Batiks with black pathways to mimic a stained glass window.

My name is Jenny and I too live in WI. My favorite WIP is a baby quite I'm making for my best friend who happens to be married to my brother-in-law. They're expecting their first child in May. I like it because it's a simple pattern with pretty fabric for the child of two very special people.
Thanks for the fun.
Hi! My name is Susan and I live in Kansas. I don't have a quilt WIP because I just recently got a new sewing machine that will actually do quilting. I do have a sundress in progress for my granddaughter's birthday though. I LOVE your blog! You are my inspiration as I learn to use my new machine!
I am Toby from Texas. My favorite WIP is a new tote/purse I'm starting. I had recently bought some super happy colored circle fabric. I had no idea what I would do with it but HAD to have it. When I found this bag pattern I was so excited 'cause I knew it was for my circles. I have gathered everything for it except a 1" button form for covering (EVERYONE IS OUT) as of today and am ready for tomorrow to get here to start cutting and sewing!
I'm Alexis from England but living in Singapore. My favourite WIP is my only WIP and my first quilt! It's very nearly finished, and it's a sample quilt which I'm making for my baby girl, she's 4 months old now and I started it in October - all hand stitched so taken me a while, but I love it and I hope she will too.
I'm Kris, from Alabama, I am working on a Denyse Schmidt Big Zig quilt for my brother's college graduation! It is my favorite because it's my first big bed sized quilt instead of baby ones!
Hi AmandaJean! I'm Kimmie, from Texas. My favorite WIP is a quilt for my oldest son, who's 7. He's excited to have his own handmade quilt, since the 2 youngers both have handmade quilts made by friends!

My name is Tammy and I live in Prescott, Ontario, Canada...I must be kinda close to Amanda from upstate NY! I am working on the baltimore bunnies quilt designed by Anne Sutton and i love it because it is so cheery!

Love your blog! Great job on the small projects week.
500 posts? It seems like the 100th wasn't that long ago. You're growing more prolific.
Anita from Minnesota's favorite WIP is a series of poems for toddlers.
(And her least favorite is an article on transportation logistics that should have been done by now.)
Congrats on your 500th post! Wow I am just fixing to write my first one. I am from Oregon. My favorite WIP is the doll I am supposed to be making for a contest. Funny thing is, I have the fabric for the body,and now I just keep looking at it. Guess I am afaid to start it. I don't want to mess it up! I must say looking at all your creative posts makes me want to run over and start on it! Wish me luck! And thank you.
Hello, my name is Amy, from Utah. My favorite work in progress is a quilt top I'm making to go with one of my grandmother's old sheets for the back. I need to get through my never-ending to-do list so I can do this one. :)
Howdy!
I am Jacky from Texas! My favorite WIP is my brown and pink Flock of Triangles :). This one will be a keeper! I am so excited about it because it will be my first pieced back! I am finishing baby quilts for co-workers and then I should be able to get back to the triangles.

Hi I'm Andy from Utah. My favorite WIP is actually still in my head and it's all I can think about. It's going to be a lap quilt using black and white graphic prints with smatterings of bright blue. I keep laying out all of the fabrics trying to find the best way to combine them, but every way I do it is great. I'm going to have to decide one of these days or nothing will ever get done!
Hi,
I'm Melinda from your neighbouring northern country of Canada (Ontario) to be more specific. I have a mostly black and white king quilt on the go, with red accents. I was going to do a Bento box, but I have changed to a dissapearing 9 Patch. I may even have the courage to post pics on my web site! Thanks for your great inspiration (and honesty!)
Hi, I'm Vivian from Denver, in the summer, and Tucson, in the winter, so I get to enjoy looking for fabric in two places. My WIP is the quilt you just finished with fabric from Bee Square...the fabric is here and I love it! Yes, I make baby quilts for grandbabies that don't exist!! But, I'll be ready! You inspire me...thanks.
My name is Andi and I live in Douglas, Alaska. My favorite WIP is a quilt for my sister and her fiance when they finally get hitched this summer. It's made with a lot of Amy Butler prints so I am happy to have the excuse to buy them! Love your blog, am planning to make a ragged squares quilt with your tutorial sometime soon.
I'm Oiyi and I live in NYC. The favorite thing I am working on right now is crocheting a baby blanket. I have to give myself breaks because crocheting hurts my wrists.
My name is Michelle and I live in Texas. My favorite WIP is a quilt made with cherry fabric I am making for my daughters....I cannot wait to finish it.
Hi! My name is Amanda and I live in Louisville, KY. My current favorite project is a rag quilt that I am making for my daughter's toddler bed. It full of bright colors and crazy patterns.
My name is Kelsey and I live in Utah. Right now I'm working on a nursing cover - I should be having our second son within the next 5 weeks, hopefully! I found some beautiful fabric and I'm just so excited to meet my new baby and get to use this nursing cover. Thanks!
I'm Ashley from San Francisco, CA. My favorite WIP is my 'geese in the forest' quilt that I'm making using twiddletails' BOM patterns. I'm 2 months behind, but enjoying it anyway!
Hi! My name is Margaret. I live in Baton Rouge, LA. My favorite work in progress is the Bella Rosa quilt that I am nearly finished with. Just lacks borders. It is my favorite because it is something I am making just for me and it makes me feel good.
My name is Kristine and I currently live in Oklahoma. My favorite work in progress is a bed quilt for *my* bed using some beautiful asian-themed fabric I fell in love with at a quilt show. The sad part? I haven't even started cutting, as I'm haven't nailed down the pattern I want to use. And I tend to push the stuff for me back. Aren't so many of us like that?
Hi, I'm Lacey from Calgary, Alberta.
My favorite WIP is a Bento Box quilt I am plugging away at. The quilt top is nearly done, so I guess I'm getting there.
I could certainly think of a fun project or two to use this fabric for. Thanks for your generosity!

Hi, I'm Dolores from Ontario. Currently, I'm working on a black and white challenge quilt. My friend (she's done hers) and I decided to do this and we are allowed to add three colours. I got the b&w done (strips) and now I must continue with the colour. It's a lot of thinking and planning so far. ;-)
I'm Leigh from Salt Lake. My favorite WIP (only 2 quilts right now) is my red and white triangle quilt. Maybe that's because I'm getting kind of sick of the one for my queen bed. Those take a long time - as you know.
My name is Michele and I live in Alabama. My favorite WIP right now is a HST design quilt that I am making out of napkins that I found on clearance. The patterns are middle eastern and I just thought that they would make a fabulous quilt and I bought them all...confusing the heck out of my husband!! Love your blog !!!

Does that count?
I'm Linda J. from Utah. My favorite WIP is a "Second Saturday" red, white and blue pieced quilt. It's my first quilt made of pieced blocks and was great fun to do. Now that the blocks are done I need to add the sashing and get stroarted on the quilting.....

I'm Nicole from BC. I only have one quilting WIP right now, so I guess it's my favourite - it's a baby quilt in pink and lime green (not my colours at all, but the baby's mom loves it). I've been kind of sidetracked by knitting lately, though.

Hi AmandaJean,
I love your blog so much, it does give me lots of inspiration and the lay out makes it easy to read! I am Jantine, I live in The Hague,(the Netherlands) and my favorite work in progress is my Welcome to the Northpole appliqué. It doesn't come together quickly, but I just love the transformation I made and it is great building all kind of funny houses.
My name is Jeanne and I live in Taylorsville, UT. I am currently working on a braided quilt that is just to die for. I used Moda's swanky honeybun paired with hot pink, sage green and bright yellow. I just have to put a light pink backing on, add batting and quilt. I've made this quilt for a friend having her 4th girl - I just hope that I can give it up once it is done. I love it!!

I love your quilts, very inspiring!
My name is Becky, I'm from Shropshire, UK. I'm afraid I don't have a favourite WIP! I have so much university work at the moment that I shouldn't even be reading your blog! And all my WIP quilts are taunting me from the newly renovated (and as yet unused) sewing table in my room. :(
I'm Nanna, from copenhagen, Denmark. I am only working on one quilt - my first, for my son. He offen ask when I will finish is, but in the moment my sewing machine is out of order, so I do not know. I do have a lot of WIP in knitting though - and I think my favorit in the moment is a little green babysweater.
Hi AmandaJean! My name is Maedeana and I live in Montreal,Canada. My favorite work in progress is "the Stephanie quilt" that I am making for my 21yr old stepdaughter.

You are absolutely my biggest quilting inspiration. Hands down. HA! Keep blogging my dear!!!

amanda you have inspired me in so many ways! I started with the quilt along and can't wait to see your latest creation! My favoriet work in progress is a Winter Wallhanging from CrabApple hill.

Wow...I can't believe the number of posts! I'm Christine and I'm an American living in Germany. I actually just started a coin quilt with some Katie Jump Rope and I'd love to have more variety to add to it.
Hi, my name is Sarah and I'm form Durham in the Uk. My favourite work in progress is a celtic design using stained glass techniques. It is taking me forever to do as it has lots of curves!
I'm Lyndsey from Knoxville, TN. My favorite WIP is my SIL's christmas quilt. I got a Merry & Bright layer cake off Ebay. I love that material and color combination!
Hi, I´m Hrönn from Iceland. My favorite quilt project at the moment is a log cabin scrap quilt using scraps from the last 10 years of quilting :) Its such great fun to remember what I used them in and to handle them again. Can´t wait to have it finished! I´m having a week of finishing small things this week...what a great idea!
My name is Brandy and I am from Iowa. My favorite project is whichever one I am working on, I get excited about finishing it. RIght now that would be a flag and ribbon quilt.
I'm Jade, from Mercer, PA. My favorite WIP is the afghan I am crocheting for my DH because he is so excited about it. Hopefully I am able to get it done by this fall. Each row is taking much longer than I had thought it would.
My name is Aubrey P and I live in North Carolina. My favorite WIP is a beautiful quilt with fabric from designers Joel Dewberry, Amy Butler, and Heather Bailey. It is for a young mother of three children who has cancer. The youth in our church embroidered their names in some of the squares. We really think she'll love it. Thank you for all of your tutorials. They really are so helpful!
My name is Tiina (with two i's) and I live in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. AmandaJean is one of my favourites! Today, my favourite WIP is a patchwork bag that I'm putting together using diagrams in a Korean patchwork magazine. No, I do not read Korean, but luckily there are pictures and numbers. It is still very hard, and that is why I like this project so much! Cannot wait to see if the final project will look (and function) like a bag!
I'm Julia from Melbourne, Australia. My favourite WIP is an orange and purple quilt my mum started for my niece Ella before she passed away. I know one day I'll finish it, although 11 year Ella reminds me I should at least aim for her 21st birthday!
Hi! I'm Bethany from Duluth, GA. I am trying to finish up several projects. My current favorite is a quilt that I call "Robins on a Wire". I saw a quilt in a magazine of 6 birds sitting on a power line. You can see a little of the power pole. I am making my own version of this with little birds with red bellies. I am in the process of quilting it, but I am doing that differently than I have ever done before. Each section of the quilt is going to be quilted differently, to flow with what it is. Like the wood power pole is being quilted with semi straight lines that end in swirled knots. It is fun, but more difficult than I anticipated.
Congrats on Post#500! I am Ellen from Atlanta and I am trying to finish my daughter's music themed quilt before her HS graduation next month!
Hello - my name is Annette and we live on the coast of North Carolina. My most looming WIP is my oldest's prom dress but just yesterday I thought it would be fun to make a quilt for my middle child who's "graduating" from 8th grade next month! Of course I'm also all about wanting to make some of those fabric boxes too!! Thanks for all your inspiration. I'm keeping my fingers crossed 'cause I LOVE that Katie Jump Rope fabric :)
I am Sharon from Indiana. My favorite WIP is my Happy Scrappy Houses from quiltville.com for my daughter. It was so much fun to select all the fabrics for the houses. Now to just get it bordered and quilted. I loved your small projects week. I may have to do that myself. Congratulations on 500!
My name is Meredith from Louisiana and my favorite work in progress is the baby quilt I am making because it is the first baby quilt I've ever made.
My name is Deb and I live in southeast Texas. My favorite work in progress (and currently the only sewing one) is my rendition of your vintage kitchen quilt. I'm doing it with the urban couture line and a gorgeous quilter's cotton that is just barely not white. Can't wait to see that beauty finished!
Hey! My name is Dani, and I live in Virginia. My favorite WIP is my daughter's purple and green log cabin.
Hiya!! My name is Hilary S... I live in Key West, FL (and am dreading the summer heat)! I have too many favorite WIP to choose just one. I work on so many at a time, it takes me forever to finish one. Though, I did just finish my friend's baby's quilt yesterday... she's been waiting months for it! :)
Love your blog!

Hi, I am Debbie and my favorite WIP is a patriotic sampler that I am making for my son. The top has been done for a long time and I need to quilt it before he goes to college. Seriously, he's 16 and I started it when he was in 5th grade. That's embarrassing but if I admit it maybe it will make me get it done. Whatever it takes. Congrats on your 500th post. I look forward to your next one!
My name is Katie, and I am from Indiana. My favorite WIP is my monkey wrench mini quilt. I am currently hand quilting it after having put it away for awhile!!!!

I'm Jane from Melbourne Australia. I am working on my second quilt - stacked coins in blues. I love it but can't decide whether I should keep collecting fabric and make it bigger or just get on with it! (The Katie Jump Rope fabric would fit in beautifully)

Hi I'm Jaime from Philadelphia. I actually just did the cutting and prep for two more projects last night, I always seem to have about 7 or so WIPs! My favorite is the street stripe button down shirt I'm making for my son. It's the second one I've made and I learned so much from my mistakes with the first one that I'm really looking forward to seeing it come together in the fun Michael Miller street stripe print.
I'm Patty B. and I'm from outside of Pittsburgh, PA. My WIP is a butterfly quilt that I started 3 years ago maybe even closer to 4. I'm looking forward to finishing it because it is the first quilt I started by myself. I've only completed 7 quilting projects in my 4 years of quilting and I would like to get this one done and get it off my consceince.

Hi! I'm Diane from Louisville, Kentucky. My favorite work in progress is new pillows for my new bench in my old foyer. Very springy fabrics and I can't wait to get them finished!
Hi - I'm Karen from Arkansas. My favorite work in progress is a Candy Bar Road throw that I'm making. The colors are so vibrant. I'm actually thinking of keeping this one for myself - something I never do!! A close second would be the baby quilt I'm making for the Mountain Babies project!!
Hi Amanda. My name is Jennie; I'm from West Michigan. Thanks for your blog. It inspires me! Here is the inspiration for my current WIP: http://www.ohfransson.com/oh_fransson/tutorials-patterns-archiv.html
My name is Kate. I'm from Florida. And my favorite WIP is actually just in the planning stage... a blue and green over the shoulder bag with the front made out of patchwork strips and the back made out of black and white polka dots. I hope to get cutting soon!
Hello AmandaJean.
My name is Sarah, and I am writing from Edmonton, Alberta. My favourite work-in-progress is a patchwork bib i am hand quilting for my daughter. I love it because it is my first quilting project (and hasn't yet miserably failed!); because hand-sewing the little squares together is relaxing for my brain; but mostly because I enjoy putting my love into little tactile projects for my daughter while she naps... Just like how I loved folding her onesies and little footy jammies before she was born.
Hi! I'm Jeri and I'm from Edmonds, WA. I have many WIP's, too, and so many are just in need of quilting. I'll choose one of them as my favorite. It was a mystery quilt from a local shop hop. Each shop gave us a fat 1/4 and a piece of the pattern. This top is complete, borders completed, and layered, but not quilted. It will also be my favorite when it is no longer a WIP but a finished quilt!
Hi,from Nokomis,Saskatchewan, a neighbor to the north. My name is Carolyn and I'm just starting my next quilt for my great nephew. His birthday is May 16 so I'd better get hustling. I love your ideas.

Hey! My name is Adrienne and I live in sunny Florida. My favorite WIP is the socks I am knitting for my guy. I only had to frog them 5 times before getting the rounds going. I am using Bamboo Silk and he will love slipping them on after a hard day's work. If knitting WIPs don't count then I choose the quilt I am making for my friend for her 30th birthday. We've been friends since birth and that's a pretty big milestone in my eyes.
Thanks for the giveaway op and for all the inspiration! Happy 500th!
