In honor of the first day of my favorite month, I'm going to give away a quilt kit to one reader. The quilt kit consists of 42 blue, black and grey kona cottons, so you can make your very own blue quilt. Or...you could use the pre-cut rectangles for various other projects if you so desire. Each rectangle is a generous 5.5" x 19.5" so the possibilities are endless! If you would like to win, please leave me a comment letting me know of any silly games you and your family play. If you don't have one, your favorite color would be a good substitute. Happy Monday to you!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 907 Newer› Newest»My husband and i have a silly game where we try to be the last one to say, "I love you MORE." And, strangely enough, my favorite color is blue!
Those would make great quilt for my boyfriend:) I love to play cribbage with my dad:) (although he has to re-teach me every time as I always forget the rules! haha)
Love your blog. Love your quilts. I don't enter many contests, but blue is my hands down favorite color so this is a natural for me!!
My favorite color IS blue so I would love to win your fabric. One of our silly games is, when we play cards or a board game, we all talk endlessly about how bad we are going to lose to the other two; how they are going to stomp all over us. Silly, but funny.
My favorite color is green.
Oh the things I could do with those beautiful blues!!!
My family has the occasional "speed" card game wars. But our best game to is buy scratch lottery tickets and see who wins!! We have scratching races with commentary! It's great.

When I realize I have been wrong, wrong, wrong about something, I say to my husband, "Honey, I forgive you for everything you've ever done to me." He says the same thing to me if he's the one who has been wrong. It breaks the ice and cues us that it's time for a smile and a hug!
And my favorite color changes every day!
Our 6-month old, my husband and I play peek-a-boo. :)
Happy November to you! It just happens to be my favorite month too. Love your family game! We make a bet every Fall to guess the first day snow will stick to the grass. My guess is Dec. 4 and Dave's guess is Dec. 7. What a stinker for guessing so close to my day!
wow! what a prize :) on car trips we used to give each of our three kids a drawing pad, have them close their eyes and then draw whatever we said. They loved to see what they had drawn when they opened their eyes. Good for so many laughs. as for my favorite color, does rainbow count?!
Oooo, love the blues! As for silly games, my family plays Padiddle. It's an intense sport, involving broken (or jammed but really exaggerated) fingers, feuds, and all out wars. :D For those who don't know, Padiddle is played in the car--if you see a car with only one headlight, you hit the roof of the car and call out Padiddle. Legitimacy of points depends on how far behind you are, or whether the opponent can see and verify. Bonus points if you score on a car behind yours!
Wonderful giveaway!
My favourite colour changes, every few years. The colour I liked when I was 20, is certainly not my favourite, now.
Blue is my favourite, because it reminds me of mountains, lakes, rivers.
:o)

I would love to win this lovely stack!!
Whenever the kids are home we play Scattergories and Apples to Apples. Love these two board games...and 10 year olds can play these game too!!
Take care!
Paulette
I love blue!
My son is 3 so it's either Don't Spill the Beans of Hungry Hungry Hippos! Or anything else he makes up using that imagination.
I love working with solids! Thanks for the giveaway. I have a very young daughter so our favorite silly game is "sleeping bunny" - it goes along to the tune of frere jacques, and she pretends to sleep then wakes up and hops. So cute.
Oh MY! Let's see... silly games...hmmmm... Nothing we do in our house is very serious. When my kids were smaller, when they entered the room, I would cover my eyes with my hands and say "You can't see me now, because I can't see you!" So, now that they are older, they come into a room with their eyes covered and if you speak to them, they repeat my line, and giggle like mad! Thanks for including me!
We have a strange little game that we play in our house. We start to sing an annoying or catchy song, to try to get it "stuck" in the other persons head and they end up singing it all day.
My husband is usually the winner because I'll end up with a Britney Spears song playing over and over in my head all day.
Happy November to you
I hope to win the blue
You are so kind to play
with this great give-away!

Your blue quilt inspired me to request the Blue Heaven Kona FQ pack for my bday. But who wouldn't love to have even more blue in their lives? Oh, and green.
We hide a silly stuffed sheep at the others house when visiting. The more creative the hiding place and just how long it takes to find always gets bragging rights for a while!
Thanks for such a generous give away!
I would love to win the fabulous blue fabrics. Even though I am 39 and my brother is 30, we still do the "Mom, he's touching me" and "Mom, she's on my side of the car" game when we go anywhere with our parents. I don't think brothers & sisters ever grow out of picking on each other :) Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Those blues are so pretty!
We play "I'm going on a picnic" - where you pick 3 words that are connected in some way and say that you are taking them on a picnic. Then each player takes turns saying "I want to go! Can I bring XXX?" If XXX is connected in the same way they can come on the picnic, if not they have to keep guessing...
(I hope I explained that clearly - it's pretty silly)
One of our favorite original games is done at our dining table, and my oldest (8) usually starts it by saying, "who can ________ the fastest/longest/loudest/quietest". This week I won with counting to 10 the fastest. We've also seen who can make the highest pitched sound the quietest, who can eat their potatoes the fastest, who can burp like Elf...etc....
oh and favorite color is defaintely red, but of coarse, blue is right there next to it. I LOVE any shade of blue (mostly turquoise) with any shade of red (or pink)
Blue is my favorite color, so I hope I win! :) I can't say we have a silly game, I don't know that we do. Life is far too serious around here, it seems. I need to figure out how to lighten things up a bit! ~ Jody Edwards jody.edwards@yahoo.com
We don't really have any games that I can think of...but growing up in a house with 4 four girls (5 when you count mom) we were constantly singing. To this day (we are grown and all but the baby is married) myself, or any of my three sisters, will break into song at random when we hear something that reminds us of a song. (A phrase or word is all it takes-old commercials are the worst at popping into your head!!) However, at work I do normally just sing it in my head...I don't think they would appreciate me randomly breaking into song while on the phone with a customer!
Fall is my favourite season, too. Love the crisper air and being able to break out my boots and sweaters again. This silly game is one I have with my BFF who's like family to me. We have long stopped giving each other birthday and Christmas gifts, but we usually give each other a token gift. If we've gotten an especially good deal on said gift, the price tag stays on (sometimes highlighted if it was a super good sale). Thanks for the giveaway!
Our family has LS's (Little Surprises) which are gifts you give for no reason and are to intended to be reciprocated. We also have a morning song that my mom used to sing to me and I sang to my kids "Good morning to you, good morning to you, we're all in our places with bright shiny faces, it's time to get up and start a new day" They hated it until the left and now they miss it, he he he.
Amanda Jean, thank you for the chance to win. My favorite colorway is in the Autumn family so I would love to win this colorway since I barely have much of this collection.
What beautiful fabrics! And blue is my favorite color. Hmmm...silly games??? My daughter loves hide and seek, and she usually hides in the same place every time! It's hilarious! Most of the games we play are just your typical go fish, memory, Uno, Chutes and Ladders. My daughter loves games! :)
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!

PURPLE! but my husband's is blue.
I love red to wear, burgundy for the dinning room table, green for the bedroom and blue for the bathroom and family room.
With a newborn baby in the house my husband and I get to play who gets the dirty diaper. Thanks for the great giveaway!
So my husband and I just recently had our first child (he's 5.5 weeks old as I post this). We've developed a new little family game to make changing diapers a bit more entertaining. (He does, after all, go through 8-12 diapers a day...) Have you ever seen that game where someone touches their nose with their index finger and says "Not it!" and the last person to do so has to do the task at hand? We now have that with diapers. Anytime you can hear he's making a new diaper or feel his diaper is dirty, you can call Not It and the other person has to change it. Silly, but makes it a bit more fun. :P
We love Charades; the more outrageous the better! Thanks
My husband and I always announce when the clock says 11:14, my birth date (Nov 14th). It must have started when we were first married in college, but continues to this day. Poor guy will NEVER be able to forget my birthday. Ever!
Whenever we were lost while taking a road trip, Dad would say "we're on an adventure." and we kids would giggle and ask long the adventure would last. . . Blue is so my favorite color! hope I win.
Soccer with dog. They kick the ball and he stops it and looks at them to kick it again.
I love blue... so relaxing. These would definitely go towards a blue quilt! I need someone to force me into something that includes straight forward modern piecing!
We are a Phase Ten crazy family. Not exactly silly, but still an entire family favorite. And, just to throw it out there, my favorite color is blue!
Well, my kids are only 4 and 2 (and I'm 9 months pregnant with girl #3), so we don't have too many games we play...but we have a funny tradition that was passed down from my parents. Whenever someone leaves a light on or leaves a drawer open or something of that nature, we blame it on "Bill" or "Gilbert," two imaginary entities that get blamed for all that stuff. My kids think it's hilarious and even outside the home we blame Bill and Gilbert for all sorts of mishaps! Thanks for such a great giveaway!
What a beautiful way to start the month off on the right foot.
Our family has this one silly gift that keeps getting passed around year after year. It is always fun to see where it pops up.
Happy Monday to you too!
Diane @ lifescraps
My husband and I have a silly game: He says "boo" randomly throughout conversations, or out of the blue and my response is typically "no." So, if I say something other than "no" it's a win for him.
My children are all grown and moved out the house, when they were little we would say "what time does Mickey say" which meant it is time for bed.
My favorite color is blue!!!
My favorite color is blue blue blue. Please enter me into your drawing. alternate email mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com
Family fun: My mother and I talk to the TV together - finishing the sentences of the announcers before they do. It's hillarious because most of the time we are correct - and it drives my brother nuts. BTW we are all 55+years of age.
My husband and I play a game on car trips where cows and horses on your side of the road (determined by yours seat in the car) are worth one point apiece, white horses are worth 50 points apiece and graveyards zero out your points. I'm pretty sure it started as a drinking game, but it's waaaay more fun as a car trip game... until we drive by a graveyard. :)
Thanks so much for this wonderful giveaway! Happy November!
we don't play silly games ... but I want too!! AND blue is my fav!!
Blue is my favorite color!
I LUV your blue quilt: It has become an inspiration to me: to make a beautiful quilt of plain fabric!
Yes, I've also seen (and ordered) Plain Spoken (the book which it's in).
Pick me, pick me!
Or
With my barely 3 yr. old I like to play hide and seek. The best part is that she doesn't understand I need to find her. She usually jumps out and says, "Here I am," or "Boo!"
We hide stuffed animals and play the warmer/colder game. This works well for the 4 year old, up until she gets excited and tells you exactly where the animal is!
Wonderful palette!
I love your greeting. With my children, we greet each of the children with a "Happy Birthday" on the exact time or fairly close to the time that they were born. They are now grown and we still call them. In two of the cases we have always had to set the alarm clock to make sure we wish them a happy birthday on time. The other one in is a late in the afternoon greeting.
Please enter me in your drawing. This is the first time that I have ever been to your blog and find it very imformative and fun.
My favorite color is yellow with blue.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway. We don't have kids yet, so no silly games in our house! :) But, my favorite color is blue so this giveaway would be perfect for me!!
It just so happens that blue is my favorite color!! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!!

Thanks for a great give-away! Love the blues, but anything between blue and red on the color wheel is good for me!
Purple is my favorite color! Thank you for a chance at a wonderful giveaway :)
I love blues! I actually use Blues and Whites to decorate for Christmas. I'm getting ready to use Elizabeth Hartman's advent calendar pattern to create a blue and white calendar.
For silly games, we like to pull random quotes from tv. My mom and sisters were watching Desperate Housewives and it was interrupted by the weather people for the possibilty of hail in Norman (a town 50 miles from where we live). Now any time we get interrupted, "there might be hail in Norman." It leaves us all in a fit of giggles.
Yes! This is awesome! My son is 3, so we're playing silly games all day. He loves to pretend we're other members of our family. So I have to call him by his cousin's name and he calls me grandma.
How perfect! I am making a quilt of all blues for a friend who's favorite college colors are blue and white. We play bingo as a family. I made bingo boards with paper and stickers.
No silly games but we do have a pancake cake tradition for birthday cakes. Last year the 14 year old had to have two stacks as they seem to fall over at about 13. Oh, all that blue is heavenly.
I'm really liking to sew with fall colors right now - oranges, browns, greens, yellows and reds. But I need to make a blue birthday quilt for my nephew Thanks Stacy

I love those blues!
We play "higher/lower" in guessing the temperature outside - our kids grew up in the tropics so anything below 90 was a total puzzle for them and the numbers had no meaning so we worked out a game to help them practice at it when we were in the U.S. in the autumn.
I like BLUE!
My family plays a silly game every Christmas at our annual family gathering. Everyone brings one wrapped $10 gift. After dinner, we draw numbers for the opportunity to go to the table to choose a $10 gift. If someone wants something someone else unwrapped earlier, they may take it instead of taking a wrapped gift from the table. The person that is now without a gift must go back to the table and chose another wrapped gift. Each gift can change hands no more than twice. You can't imagine how much fun we have doing this. Saves money, too.
We play the game every day of who can say "I love you" first. With 5 kiddos it makes for a lot of "I love you's":))))) Please enter me in the drawing!!!
My son is 21 yrs. old. This is not a game, but reminds me more of the Elf on a Shelf. He will finish using something, i.e. mouthwash, but will not throw the bottle away. I'll put the bottle in his sink without saying anything. He'll find it there and then put it somewhere to annoy me. We never discuss the empty bottle. He got me this time by putting it in my car with a stuffed animal holding it. I laughed so hard! Maybe it's only funny to us! We keep it up until one of us just gets tired and then finally throws it away.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.

I have this sister who says often Happy trails at the end of a letter. I would love to win this stack of blue fabric, though red is my favorite.
My favorite color is red but my husband is all about blue.
i love your game! my aunt always gets upset if you don't wish her a happy __________ as soon as you come down to breakfast.
we play a similar game in my family, though it doesn't really have a name. on a road trip, when approaching any border lines (city, state, whatever) you've got to reach your hands as far forward as you can to be the first person in north carolina (philadelphia, canada, whatever). you have to shout "First one in _________!"
usually the front passenger wins this game, but we still play. :P
Blue IS my favorite color! I am just starting to quilt and I would LOVE to win this! Oh, pick me, please pick me! :D
We play Paditle (I'm sure that's spelled wrong). When we're in the car and we another car with only one headlight working, we yell "Paditle!" And have to give the person who yelled a kiss! ;)
My family loves to quote movies. Our favorite is "While You Were Sleeping" - we love the part where they are having a bunch of different conversations at the dinner table.
Once - we set aside a date where we had to speak ONLY in movie quotes ALL DAY LONG. It was a very quiet day...
Lol I love reading all the silly games everyone plays!
We have quite a few in our house, the first one that came to mind is to come up with words that end in "-ly". This started as poking fun at The Teen, who was always saying "Seriously?" so we would reply "Jokingly?" or "Compellingly?" or "Ridiculously?" Everyone plays, and it gets quite silly.
Another one that is my personal favorite is when my husband makes up silly little rhyming jingles and sings them. I guess that's not really a game, but he makes me laugh, so I love it.
Do you read this far down?
My favorite color is BLUE, I´d love to get your giveaway!
When my family drives through a tunnel we keep saying "tunnel, tunnel, tunnel" faster and faster. At the end of tunnel we shout "slut tittut!" swedish for "end, peek a boo"
Thank you for all inspiration, from your blog.
Oh these blues are gorgeous. One game we like to play is "Cheat". It's a card game and my kids just love playing it. This is a wonderful giveaway. Thanks for the chance.
I love,love,love blue. Please pick me!
Our silly game is that we sing silly songs to each other using famous tunes or made up tunes. I can't think of one right now. By the way, my seven year old quilts. She's been doing it since she was about three years old. She started pasting fabric onto paper, and her last quilt was a Sun Bonnet Sue applique she made for a school project. I have to press the pedal for her, but she cuts and sews everything else.
Yay what a fun give-a-way. Me and my son will turn a day into a musical. So instead of speaking to each other we sing to each other and since we're both pretty much tone deaf it makes it even funnier.
My favorite color is red but my sons is blue.
Taboo is the BEST family game! My sister and I always end up laughing so hard that we can't breathe :)
I am a blue/grey girl!!
we play cricket in the car with the number plates...great for the mental maths....
Our two-year old twins like to play chase at the moment. And my hubby and I get a great cardio workout doing so, especially when they decide to run in opposite directions!
What a lovely stack of blue fabric...hope I win!
Love this giveaway! We play boy/girl games so that the competition and trash talking get fierce. Cheesy lines thrown around? "Does your butt hurt because I just spanked you!" We have our celebration dances as well. It's disturbing to watch. :D LOL.
My favorite color is pink followed closely by blue! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hmmm, I don't have any silly games that I play with my family. Maybe it is time to change that! My favorite color is orange, I don't like to wear it but I love the way it looks on quilts and around the home.
Love the colors and would love to make a blue quilt.
Our family often asks each other what our favorite thing is in a category: fav thing that happened that day, or on vacation, or who our favorite ballplayer is on a certain team, or what our favorite Christmas Carol is, etc. We go around the room and everyone answers.
Oh, that fabric would be perfect for a quilt for my husband!
As for fun games - we have 3 kids 4 and under. Their favorite game is "Troll Bridge." Daddy gets on the ground and they have to say the secret password to pass by him (it's always a ridiculously hard word for them to say which adds to the fun). If they try to cross without saying the word, they get tickled!
hmmm...I can't think of any silly games we play. But we sing plenty of silly songs I have made up over the years. :)
oh and my favorite color is blue which is a good thing...I have 3 boys! :)
My favorite colour happens to be blue! A silly game my family plays is a funny face contest. Two people face each other and if you can pull a face to make the other laugh without laughing at the other yourself, you win. The only problem in this game is once you start laughing, it's hard to stop... and it's hard for the other to not laugh along with you! linnetvandijk@gmail.com
i've told my toddler since he was only a few months old that i want 'baby back ribs' and even sing the old chili's theme song, before nibbling on his sides. most the time he starts laughing before i can even get to him.
My favorite month is November too. And this year my birthday is on Thanksgiving Day--my all-time favorite holiday and weekend of the year--spending it with people I love but you don't have to think about presents. Well, except for me. It IS my birthday, people! hehe
My favorite color is orange.
We play board games as a family, the latest favorite is Blockus. Love the blues. Thanks for the giveaway.
What pretty colors!
My family has many silly traditions. One of my favorites is, whenever someone comes home (even if they've just been getting the mail, or running an errand) the say, in a very loud and happy voice "Hi Honey, I'm Hooo-ooome.". I still say it when I get home--even to my dog if she is the one there. :)
One of the silly games I play with my friends and my fiance is we will find a random stranger who vaguely resembles a celebrity and try to convince the other that we've actually spotted said celebrity.
My favorite color is BLUE! On the first day of every month, before I say anything to anyone I always say RABBITS, RABBITS, RABBITS. According to my 4th grade teacher, this brings you good luck for the entire month. That was a long time ago.
oh I thought of kind of a silly game. Most nights when we have a real supper together at the table we take turns each saying what our favorite AND least favorite things about our day.
Hey its a way to get my boys to talk...sometimes its like pulling teeth with my 12 year to get him to have a conversation with me at all. :)
A silly game our family plays is calling each other by the wrong name. They (aged 7,6,4,1) think it's so silly when I call them by their siblings name and then when I go to correct myself I do it again.
My birthday is in two days and my husband is out of town for the whole week, so a lovely set of blue pre-cut rectangles would be sweet.
Love the blues!!! My kids are grown so we love to do board games with questions that can be play boys against the girls as we let the grand kids run amok!!
The first thing to say on the first day of the month is "rabbit." I don't know why...its' just a silly game...a silly habit.
We do a "who can text Happy Birthday first" to the birthday person. Just after midnight is very popular. Love the blue fabrics.
One of the silly things my older daughter and I play on the phone is "I love You", "I love you more", "I loved you most", "I love you mostest", "I love you a million times around the world" I also like those fabrics, and November is fantastic! Cool weather, crisp air, and my birthday on the 5th! Thanks for the chance to win...8-]
My boyfriend and I play a game to see who can tell the other that we love each other. Every time it turns noon, whoever says it first wins. ;) I would love to win the fabric for a quilt I am making him.
My family speaks a strange combination of english, french, and spanish, usually horribly mispronounces. Leads to many funny quotes :) Blue is my favorite color!
My 3-year old granddaughter and I love to chase each other around the "circuit" between the living room, front hall, kitchen and dining room - and stopping to turn the other direction in time to catch or hide from the other one! Silly but lots of fun!!
That stack of blues would be perfect for a ministry quilt I need to make - I've been thinking of using just those colors and finding a definite shortage in my stash!!
What a generous giveaway! My favorite colour changes when I see a fabulous piece of fabric or yarn, but I guess my default would be purple, or yellow, or blue, or green...no magenta!
When we are at my Grandparents cabin on the Gunflint we play spoons. My Grandma has almost broken the table, jumping on it to get the last spoon. Also, my husband and I play name that veggie with my daughter. She is two and can name almost all veggies=)
When one of us is in the car and one is wanting to get in, the one already inside the car locks and unlocks the door while the one outside tries to beat them and open the door. Wow, that sounds even sillier in writing, but um, yeah, that's one thing we do. Happy November Amanda Jean!
Love those blues!! Our favorite silly game is to say a word and then think of a song that starts with that word. It gets very silly.
I don't know if this is really a "game". but i'll post anyway.
Whenever my husband and I are out together, esp around other people we play the squeeze game.
When holding hands, 3 squeezes means "I love you" and 4 back means " I love you too"
Its like a small private moment between us without mushing everyone else out haha.
My little daughters come in while I am taking a bath (curtain shut). They love to talk with me and ALWAYS ask, "What are you doing?" I tell them I am piloting a plane, or shopping for an evening gown or whatever silly I can think of. They LOVE this and come running when I bathe so they can ask me what I am doing. They HATE it when/if I dare to say that I am "taking a bath" and they moan and say, "NO, MOM!"
We love to play a card game called '5 Crowns'. It's not silly though, we take it purty serious!! lol Love those fabrics and the quilt design.
Every time the kids and I hear a certain song on their CD in the van we have to punch our fists in the air in 3 specific spots. Not really a game, but it's still funny
Heidi
I would love to make a quilt from your fabric scraps. Esp. BLUE! I have a blue bedroom and love blue quilts. I love your blog. I found it through Nedra (Cactus Needle). The story of Whitey paws and yarn bear made me laugh out loud. Such a cute story. :-)
tickle monster! (my son is 12 months old, that's about as complicated as it gets!)
My brother and I were uber nerdy growing up. When a glass clinked or we heard a buzzer, we would guess the note and run to the piano to see who was right. I warned you about the nerdiness. But our utmost nerdiness came when we "tuned" the family car horn. Yep, you could change the pitch of the horns. (They were a 2 horn system them.)

My favorite color at the moment is aqua!
My kids love to play Apples to Apples. It is a silly game where you put down a card with a noun on it and everyone else chooses the best description from their own hand. If your card is chosen you get a point. I'm not telling them that is a vocabulary building game, they think it's just a silly way to trick people.
Ooh, I'd love to win the pretty blues. It's not really a silly game, but me and one of my sisters are certified Yahtzee addicts. We play every time we are together, and make sure one of us brings the game if we're at our parents' house. We always play the whole scorecard at once.
We like to turn up the "smile dial" (think pretend frankenstein type nob on the neck) to make each other giggle. :)
Those blues are gorgeous!
When kids were young it was "pick the corn"...kids stood like cornstalks on the floor and the farmer (dad) would pick the "corn" and put them on the couch. The "corn" promptly ran back and planted themselves in the field and the "farmer" had to pick them again. Needless to say the "farmer" gave up first :) Thanks for the giveaway. nanasew at gmail dot com
When we are driving together in the car, the first person to see and then shout "mini cooper" wins a point. We have a good time shouting in the car! Happy November to you!
We play dance party. My 2 year old insists that all of us participate, no one can sit and watch!
The best game at our house is nightly wrestling with Daddy - my 4 year old and 2.5 year old boys love it, and the baby (5 months) looks like he wants to join in soon! While they wrestle, I can clean the kitchen, so that after bedtime there is time to .... quilt!
Oh, I am going to keep all of my fingers crossed for this one...I love blue! And I love solids!!
When my kids were little, we played this game on road trips. I had played it as a little girl, when my parents, sister, and I were traveling... It's the "I'm thinking of a color, can you guess what it is" game. :)
When my daughters and I give each other a kiss, we throw our head back and kinda loudly say mwaaaaa. My four year old just burst into giggles over this.
Blue is my mom's favorite color. Her birthday is today and she is 70. She also is in need of a new quilt as the one on her bed is a vintage that has seen its day. I would LOVE to make her a new, blue quilt with your kit!!! Pick me, pick me!!
I would love to win this package to make a quilt for my new grandson who is now 2 months old and so cute - especially in "blue". Personally, my favorite color is green (a close cousin of blue).
Thanks for the giveaway!
so cute! My husband likes to play hide and seek, but usually I don't know he's playing until I can't find him in our little apartment. He's usually hiding behind a counter or door... silly games are a way of life in our relationship :)
Oh, just love the Kona cottons! And blue just happens to be my favourite colour! :)
no silly games..but I love primary colors...and I love this time of year!
We love to play "Hot and Cold." It's silly because my kids get too excited and can't keep from telling each other where the object is.
When my boys and I say "I love you" to one another we all hurry to say "I love you more." Simple and silly but we've had a lot of giggles over it.
stillrogers(at)yahoo.com
We like to turn every day actvities into Seussical rhymes. My 3 year old rhymes almost everything. It's such a good, easy way for her to use her imagination, while improving her speech at the same time.
And we always say, "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first of the month. First words when you wake up, and it's good luck all month!!
My family likes to play the Birthday Milk game, this is where when buying milk at the grocery store, we try to get an expiration date on the milk that is someone's birthday that we know. This also works for other food with expiration dates, like birthday salsa, etc. I love the black, blue and gray combination and I can think of endless patterns that would look good in those colors. Great give away!
Your Blue Quilt is just lovely, and I would very much like the fabrics to make my own. My three sons play 'food critic' each night at dinner. After sampling the meal, they inform me how many stars it rates. They invented it themselves, but it has encouraged them to praise the meals they enjoy as well as let me know if they don't like it without fussing. Also, whenever one of them whines 'its not fair!' someone will immediately start reciting the Prospector's monologue from ToyStory2,(I'll tell you whats not fair...) We all see who can do the best imitation, and by the time we finish everyone is all smiles. My favorite color is purple. I can't get enough orange. And dark reds,any shade of blue is very nice, and who could live without rich chocolate brown? Pale pinks and soothing greens...
Happy November!
I would love to make one! Please pick me!
My favorite color in the world is pink in combination with any shade of grey/silver/sparkle :)
Also, we all play a "Happy Thursday" kind of game. Similair to yours, but with a handmade card or picked flower, or in some rare and lucky occasions a LPS or hot wheels car.
When our girls were little, we used to make fun of some of the rules and say silly things like "don't talk with words in your mouth" and "I've told you a million times not to exaggerate" - a good sense of humour takes the sting out of so many no's when they are learning...
My favorite color is blue, aqua/teal shades.
We play twinkle star! We try to be the first one to spot the first star of the night. And on foggy or no star nights try to be the first to say blackout! Thanks for the chance to win the blue kit, it is awesome.
Our family has 2-way radios, the first person to spot the 1st truckload of fresh Christmas trees comes onto the radio and annouces the trucks current location (street and town)! We are all on the lookout for the 1st sign of Christmas! My Uncle David is always the 1st to spot a truck!
We do the same thing at the beginning of each month... Who can be the first to say "Rabbit Rabbit"!
i LOVE turquoise/teal. my husband and i give "vulcan" promises. not pinky promises. :)
My siblings and I try to be the first to wish each other Happy Birthday. Even if it means calling at 12:01 am!!!
Husband and I play the "not is game" when it comes to chores. My favorite color is green followed closely by blue!
I love the blue quilt.....my family can be silly and sometimes we sing what we are saying to each other....very silly
happy november to you too! my boyfriend and i like to make up songs and incorporate each other's names into the songs =P thanks for the giveaway!
I love these colors. They are beautiful!I am just now coming into the quilting world and loving every minute of it!!! This would be perfect for my husband who loves blue!
My family is very silly so we have way too many games to!My favorite color is red!
Such pretty blues...one of my favorite colors! We don't have any silly family games. Thanks for the chance to win them.
My favorite color is red, though blue/turquoise comes a close second.
Actually my favorite color is blue and always will be. That is sweet, your game you play, something your kids will pass on to their kids, when they get older and have some! Mary
Don't have any funny traditions yet as I don't have an kids yet. But someday fairly soon I hope!

Oooooh my favorite color is BLUE! Thanks for offering such beautiful hues for a giveaway :)
My favorite color is pink. Our newest "silly" game to play is Mexican Train dominoes. All ages can play, so it is a great family game!
My girls and I love playing rhyming games, where we just start talking only in rhyme, and see how long we can keep it up.
Those blues are irresistable!
Our favorite game is "grunt piggy grunt". You sit in a circle and someone in the middle is blindfolded and holds a fork. He goes around the circle, sits on someone's lap and pokes their leg with the fork and says, grunt piggy grunt. The person then snorts like a pig and the person has to figure out who it is. It is so funny!@@@
If my kids are good and he is not too tired, my husband will put on a little puppet show in the dark with two glow-in-the-dark Care Bears. They absolutely love it!
I adore the blues. I am a sucker for marketing in all colors particularly crayon boxes or sets and fabric has caught on to my weakness...
We play a game in my family of calling on birthdays and singing "Happy Birthday" to the birthday person...out of key, fast, slow, but it must be sung in its entirety and that receipent is always glad to hear from us all during the day.
P.s. we aren't in any way singers.
In our family there used to be a church that you could just see peeking over the crest of a hill as you entered the town nearest my grandparents' cottage.
There is always a competition to be the first to call out "I see it!" (the driver has a bit of an advantage here).
Since my dad helped my mom's parents build the cottage when he (they) were in high school ... and my mom;s grandparents also had a cottage on the same lake - its a long standing tradition.
My girls think sewing IS a game! Since they're still young, it takes a lot of supervision, so when they get to sew, it's a treat for them. (And, blue IS my favorite color!)
Everytime we are in the car, we play "Slugbug no tagbacks." minus the actual slugging. :) It's just to have a little fun while driving around. My 6 year old and my husband beat me at it. And our four year old will sometimes call out ones that we have just called, but we give her a point for effort. ;)
When we're coming home from town we play "guess what time we'll get home". It is permissible to change your guess multiple times but you can't pick the same time someone else has. It turns into a real contest when we're getting nearer to home as everyone tries to pick the exact minute!
It's not a game per se, but my Dad is a fireman and both my brother and I live overseas, so everytime we see a fire engine on the street, we wave at it and say "Hi Dad" as a way of thinking of him often
we play
'a pinch and a punch for the 1st of the month'...
thx for the super giveaway :)
Since my girls are in college now, there isn't any more silly games or such around here. But my favorite color is blue and anyone that looks at my stash clearly states that fact. But I would LOVE to add more blue to my collection. Never can have enough blue fabric, NEVER!
I don't have any silly games but my favorite color is... blue. Thanks for the chance to win such a great gift.
My kids are older now - we like to say which character in a favorite book each member is. Started with my son as Tigger & my husband as Eyore. We've moved on to the classics - Frankenstein, anyone?
My little boy is only two, so we play the "freeze/unfreeze" game. He thinks it's pretty funny that he can stop mommy or daddy just by saying "freeze"!
Blue..........blue.......and especially blue!!!
I used to play a game with my son in the grocery store-to keep him occupied while I tried to shop-I would peel off the Chiquita banana sticker from the bananas and we would take turns sticking it on one each other-saying "gotcha ya"! We did this until one day my son at age 3 told me "mom, I put the sticker in my nose" -a trip to the ER for some sticker removal and that game ended!
green is my favorite color...but a blue quilt is always so beautiful!
Silly enough we still play slugbug in the car with the kids or even walking. They think its hilariously funny. But no punches though younger ones could get hurt.
Drawing a plank on games, though I am sure we have some! I'll have to offer up my favorite color- green!
Well, since my favorite color is blue, I feel that trumps all my little family stories...eventhough each evening we play high/low...what was the best part of your day and what was the lowest. My high is always coming home to my family...in my blue kitchen! :)
Red.. That's my favorite color. I'm not sure if this quite counts as a silly game but my husband and I like to blame everything on our cats such as messes or farts.. Silly that's for sure...
With two little girls, everyday is filled with fun silly games, but usually made up by them. Favorite color is purple. :)
Wow I adore that blue quilt! Blue is my favorite color. I've got out of the quilting groove but maybe winning a nice big stak of fabric would inspire me to clean off my sewing table and whip up some more quilty goodness.
Our kids are 4, 2, and 15 months and their favorite silly game is "scary eyes". That's when we open our eyes really wide and don't blink and intone "scary eyes" in a creepy voice. I'm not sure why it's scary; but the two year-old loves it.
November is my favorite month, too: it is my birthday month. And what a great gift your giveaway fabric would be. Count me in.
Beanie Babies used to make kid dolls that had horrible hair and somewhat scary faces. My son and I used to hide them around the house, in cupboards, the shower, any place to get a little surprise. He is 23 and I miss the game. How about a song about blue....Baby blue, was the color of her eyes. Baby blue like the Colorado skies....OR Blue moon, I saw you standing alone....Gotta love blue! Thanks for the chance,
Deborah
One can never have too many Kona solids! I can't think of any silly games, but I'm sure they will come up and then I'll say, Oh yeah. My favorite color is orange, but blue is good, too! Thanks for counting me in, Amandajean.
Ooh, I just love blue. I am one of those people who would have about 90% blue clothing in my wardrobe, with just a sprinkling of pink. I haven't yet made a blue quilt though, and would just love to win your giveaway.
Many thanks from Jenny, from New Zealand
My favorite color is and has always been BLUE!! ~~Lisa
All those blues would make me anything but blue - I would be pink with happiness. I will be green with envy of whoever wins them (if it's not me). I love orangey-reds best of all.
Well, there's always the classic piddiddle game while driving, I guess it's also known as punch buggy, except we don't punch, and any car besides a VW beetle with one headlight burnt out will do. You have to say Piddiddle "insert category here", e.g. cereal and whoever says a type of cereal last is out :)
My favorite colors are blues...though I've never made anything with only blue fabrics so this would be a fun prize to win!
My daughter loves blue, it would be perfect for a quilt, for her. I don't know about crazy games, but I got my husband a WII last year and we do get carried away when we play against each other;)
Debbie
Not a game, exactly... when my husband and I get home at the end of long days the first thing we say when we see each other is, "I just started the best part of my day!!"
It helps put the long day behind us and start the evening with a smile. I LOVE those blue colors.
Oooh. I've been fantasizing about your "blue quilt" for weeks. I love a chance. It always leads to inspiration... Best to you, AJ.
Very-very beautiful blue.. i loike it.. ;). If i get it, i will use it for my group project(1 day 1 product). I wish i will get it.
While my favorite color is red, currently I'm working on a Blue quilt for a little three year old boy who was diagnosed with liver cancer, that is at this point in-operable :( We have a bunch of people contributing fabric, but the kona cotton would go so beautifully! Please consider me for this give away :)

my husband and i have one-minute dance parties. i don't know if that qualifies as a game...but it is DEFINITELY silly. :)
My kids are just about all grown up so I'm hoping I did play a silly game with them and just can't remember?!! Greens and blues are my favorite colors.
As a mother of two small children, we play who can stay in bed until
7 00!!!! Great giveway- thanks.
Beautiful Blues!!! What a great giveaway! Every time we go out to eat everyone guess what the bill is before looking at it. And who ever wins can pick the next place we go out to eat, which is only 2 or 3 times a month. My older kids like to get as close as they can with tip.
Happy Thanksgiving!! This is my favorite holiday too. And I love pumpkins!!
oh, thank you for the giveaway amandajean :)
my favorite color is BLUE, hope i can win :D
Like so many others my favorite colour too is BLUE!
Favorite game right now is between my almost 3 yr old and my 6 month old - the 3 yr old plays peek-a-boo and the 6 month old splits a gut laughing. It's so cute and utterly contagious.
Thanks for the chance to win :)
My girls are 4 and 1, so we do lots of silly things - too many to name! :)

Love the blues! Perfect for me because I live in a how full of boys...which my four year old reminded me of at dinner :)
Most of our silly games all involve pretending and aliens...see comment above: I live with all boys :)
Hungry Ogre! My husband is the "Hungry Ogre" and he goes after the kids saying, "I'm so hungry." When he catches one of them (or more,) he puts them in the "pot" (aka: the sofa.) While he reaches for the salt and pepper, the child/children escape and the chasing starts all over again! The kids love it and they beg Mom to leave at times just so they can play! I usually go out or I busy myself in quilting!
Purple...my favorite color is purple! I think I will make the Hungry Ogre a quilt if I win the blue fabric!

We like playing "I'm Thinking of Something" when we're on road trips. I used to have a toddler obsessed, I mean OBSESSED, with musical instruments (now less obsessed, but playing violin and trumpet). Our games would go like this:
"I'm thinking of something."
"Stephen, is it a person?"
"No."
"Place?"
"No."
"Instrument?"
"Yeeeessssssssssss!"
