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 601 – 800 of 907 Newer› Newest»Wow! You have a huge following! My favorite color is yellow because it is so happy. :) Blue is a very close second. Our family is way, way to serious to play silly games.
My 2 1/2 year old invents little games for her father and I to play all the time! Her latest one last night was her playing the harmonica with her Dad and I marching behind her using books as drums....makes me smile just thinking about it! We were her marching band!
Thanks for a great giveaway:)

I think it is a great idea to have a family tradition like that. Those are things that kids will treasure and remember forever.
wow! lots of comments. Lately, in our house, its been absolutely hilarious as my kids get out the nerf guns, turn out the lights and run around the house. I just stand back and laugh as they all come to me and beg for assistance. The funny part is that they are all adults acting like they were a bunch of 12 year old boys.
Well my favourite colour is blue! As for games with the kids outside of the usual regular games, we play "Opposite Tuesdays" where you have to do the opposite of what ever is said. So since my memory is very weak and early in the morning I can't even guess what day it is the kids get me every Tuesday when I say OK lets eat and they all walk away from their plates! Or let your mind go with any variation of that you like....they get me every time and we've been doing it for years!
It's not a silly game (we play Uno) but we take turns talking about our day at dinner. It's a thing we do that I love!
I love PINK :D
Oh what a great giveaway. I was going crazy over the one you made and would love to make one for myself! My favorite color is green but blue is a very close second!
The concept of this quilt is limitless. I love the simple lines and gradation of color. My favorite color is Orange. Love your blog.
We do a silly thing whenever we get together for a big family dinner. If someone forgets something and goes into the kitchen, everyone else leaves the table and hides until the person returns. Sounds lame, but it is funny because no matter how many times it happens it always surprises the person when they return!
I love Kona and those blues are fab! Thanks for offering the give away!
One of our favorite games is the Spongebob version of Life. My kids always make their dad be Mr Krabs and insist he talks in that voice throughout the game.
For us is saying the first syllable for a bad word to someone. Like stupid - it becomes stu...
I love November too! It's my birth month and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
We have lots of silly games we play, one of them is hiding from the dog. Poor thing, sometimes he tries to run forwards and backwards at the same time!
My family likes to come up with all kinds of puns or plays on words. Our favorites are "right arm" and "farm out". :) Love this giveaway!
My children get so excited when the first of the month arrives. They run around trying to do a 'pinch and a punch' for the first day of the month. My two year old girl has already learnt that a 'pinch and a kick' is payback for 'being so quick'. Its very funny as she randomly kicks at the air.
Happy November to you!
My four year old came up with this game when you see a yellow car you yell "jackpot!" I was just recently in New York without kids :( and every yellow taxi I saw I could not help but think "jackpot!" and then my heart would break a little inside thinking of my babies at home!
PLUS blue and grey are my favorite colors, so I MUST win!!!
No silly games here except with the kitties. They are always silly!
When my kids were young they couldn't wait til April 1st to play April fool jokes on each other.
My favorite color is blue. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love to flip all the calendars on the first of the month. My husband and I are calendar junkies and have one in every room. It's the first thing I do each month. My favorite color is pink, but blue is a close second.
funny that you mention this silly game thing, my sister and I were just talking about when we were little we would play wonder woman. Remember she had those wrist cuffs that she could bounce bullets off of? Well we made our own little headband and cuffs using tin foil or pie plates :D and my sister always wondered why I always was such a sweet older sister and let her be wonder woman when we were small, she never thought about it until we were older and realized I was the one throwing the rocks (bullets) and she was the one getting hit LOL... she wasnt a very good wonder woman ROFL! Thanks for the chance to win these lovely fabrics, hope you enjoyed the story as much as we get a kick out of reminiscing about it!
We love I'm thinking of an animal game. You can play it anywhere; in line, in the car, waiting at the doctors. The person thinking of an animal gives one clue and the others take turns asking yes or no questions until the right animal is picked.
my fav color is BLUE!
We played a game of table manners, or lack of. If you were caught practicing bad manners you lost your fork, then knife, followed by the spoon, salad fork, etc until you were eating your food with your hands tied behind your back. It was great to play with fun house guests.
Hello Amanda,
All my children are grown and gone, don't remember any games we use to play. My favorite month is also November. It actually sometimes gets cooler here in Northern FL. My favorite color is purple. I remember a game sort of that when I was a nurse we all use to play. Every Wednesday all the nurse would be dressed in purple scrubs and the patients would also be dressed in purple(the guys weren't all that cracked up about it). Have a great November. Bonnie
I guess we are an UN silly family because I can't think of one thing we do.:( My favorite color is red but I also love blue & I don't have alot of blue in my stash, so this would be great to win. I haven't made a guy quilt so this would be perfect. Thanks for the giveaway!

My boyfriend and I play a game with our Chihuahua called "1, 2, 3!"
We all stand at one end of the hallway count to three, on the count of 3 we all run to the other end of the hallway. Somehow our chihuahua knows that we have to say three before she can run.
Most of the time we tell people that we let her win, but she's a fast demon and truthfully she has us beat 90% of the time!

When we play red light, green light, we add other colored lights to the mix. Orange means you take wide steps, yellow means walk slowly, blue means hop, purple means walk backwards, green means run as fast as you can, red means stop, black means dance, brown means twirl, and pink means crawl. So fun! I can never get tired of playing it this way.
i'm all about adapting other people's silly games - like my boss who introduced me into being the first one to say "rabbit" at the beginning of each month - wish i could remember where that came from :) blue is only my favorite color when my almost two year old says it (too cute) . .other than that it's red!
How fun! Our silly game happens when we are looking for something specific-- could be our car in a parking lot, a family member in a crowd, or even a lost library book. The first one to find it yells "blitz!" or perhaps a different silly word. This makes the "looking" part more fun for our youngsters :)
Dear Amanda,
Happy November to you to! In our family we celebrate the first snow with home-made pancakes with chocolate. Thank you for inspiration in quilting.
We don't have any silly games we play, but I do love the color blue! I have wanted to make a quilt in beachy colors and realized I don't have too many solid blues in my stash. This would be a perfect addition.
Lovely blues! - I have a lot of fun being silly with my family (there's three of us). Just last night, my daughter and I jumped up and down, helped by my husband so we could jump higher. It never fails to make me laugh! (If this does not constitute as silly, I don't think much will.)
What a sweet and adorable game you and your family play! I may have to adopt it for mine! :) Thanks also for the awesome giveaway! You are always such an inspiration :)
Great giveaway! Please count me in! My favorite color is green.
I love all those blues! So pretty. My favorite color is actually... BLUE!
I love Blue! Hugs from LeKa :o)
havig 3 boys,blue is a good colour.Love your blog its taught me so much,for silly games they all love chasing each other round the house.Happy November to you and yours,
Louise
My favorite color is orange, but these blue colors are wonderful too! Greetings from Slovakia :-)
I wish we had silly games! And actually my favorite color is blue - I find it really soothing! and calming!
NOVEMBER is a fantastic month of the year. Why? Because my birthday falls in November (to be exact November 12). Because it's spring here downunder. It's getting warmer and there are blossoms everywhere you look. NOVEMBER is good all around!
Blue is one of my favourite colours.
hello!
lovely giveaway!
I want to play with you....
my favorite color is green...
We used to play chess with my husband...
Hugs
Eva
Oh, we used to play this game when all the cousins came over for holidays (we were 10 of us)... We used to go into a dark room and one person was left out... THe others would hide themselves inside the dark room... The one outside wud come in and guess who's who and who's where by feeling that person... It was fun... We usually ended in fits of giggles when the person 'feeling' us would 'unknowingly' tickle us... LOL... It was fun...
Cheers
And yeah, thanks for the giveaway...
Just beginning to plan a blue quilt and these would fit in fantastically !!!
no childhood games that I can remember ....there were 9 of us I imagine they were too exhausted for much silliness.
No real silly games, since the teenagers have a different adgenda these days! So may favourite colour - has to be all of them! LOL
Hiding under the quilt! In the morning, my 4yr old son hides and I have to pretend I'm wondering where he's gone, could he have gone out in the garden in his pijamas?
Then he pulls the quilt down, "I'm here!"
I love it, sets a happy mood for the day. I can never get tired of playing silly games.
Oh, my favourite colour at the moment is purple/violet.
I just bought my first sewing machine and have never made a quilt. Blue is my favorite color and it would be awesome to make that my first quilt.
Well, blue's my favourite colour too.
Hubby and I always race to be the first to do the 'pinch and punch for the first day of the month' before the other says 'white rabbit' three times. Pretty standard in Australia, not sure if other countries do this?
Lovely blue!
Please count me in!
we always play "I'm Thinking of Something" when we are on the road - and according to the others I always make it too difficult oops!!
Green is my favorite color - but I try to use others every time I start a new project.
We have laundry races - everyone's laundry comes in off the line and whoever gets it put away first wins. There's no prizes - I think ifI win someone else should have to do the dishes!
What a wonderful palet of blues. I love the deep colours.
I think I would make it into a fishy quilt for my son.
My favourite colour is blue and has been since I was young.
My family is really good/bad at puns. Like, i someone bring up fish, we'll end up talking about hooking this and baiting that and trolling for whatever....it's been known to go on for upwards of 30 minutes and it always ends with everyone laughing so very hard.
Hi: my family loves to play spoons! We're a large family so it gets loud and aggressive, but we love it! I'd really like to win this - I've been wanting to do an all one color quilt forever but have never had the nerve to try it. This kit might just get me going. Thanks for the great blog - I read it everyday and was so sad when you stopped for a while! Glad you're back!!
Here is a silly thing that we do: when one of us does something silly or is crying crocodile tears someone will ask "do you want some advice? Don'tdo that again!" We help each other keep it all in perspective.
Thanks for the chance to go blue!
In the car we play a tv show word game. You say the name of a tv sow and the next person uses the last letter to say a show starting with that letter or goig through the alphabet. My dad always comes up with Willy the Worm.LoL
Blue is my favorite color! Thanks for the chance to win! My family plays lots of silly word games--we just start playing around with words over a meal and get sillier and sillier as we go along.
A blue quilt! Fun!
I would love to make your blue quilt for my friend as it is her favourite colour. My favourite colour is green.
When someone does something out of the norm...we will "Who would you like to do (whatever they did out of the norm) with from history?" Sometimes it gets very, very silly and sometimes it can be very interesting.
What a wonderful giveaway! And blue is my favorite color too! Please enter me in the giveaway.
Love the blues! I used to have favorite colors, nowadays I lean toward certain brown colors, but I really like all colors. Except for the neon shades. I don't care for colors that need sunglasses to look at them. Silly games...let's see...the "baby" is 24 and we still play Go Fish. ;-)
Well over 600 responce wow how are you goingto read them all. Well mine is not a game but what we do fr Xmas is we celabrate Xmas around the world. We cook food from that area I make Xmas ornaments decoarte if I can and hve information forthe kids and adults. Its lots of work and lots of fun.
My kids play this silly game: if you say the same at the same time you have to say a code word and then the other one is not allowed to talk until another code word is used...
I am planning to make my son a blue quilt for Christmas and I haven't yet bought the fabric, so this would be perfect! Thanks.
Our game at home is to see who can be the last one to to say "goodnight and don't let the bedbugs bite". With three teenagers saying it one after the other again and again, it can get pretty funny. Thanks for asking us to share.

My husband hides from the kids at lunch time when they get up from their nap, they have so much fun running around looking for him.
Blue is my favorite color. Would love to win. My boys played silly car games going to sports activities. They would think of a hockey player and say his initials and then the others would try and guess who they were. All grown up now, but I'm sure they'll pass that one down to their children.
My daughter is only 20 months so as far as games so, ring-around-the-rosie is at the top. My fav color is RED, but these BLUES will look spectacular in our new cabin that isn't quite built yet.
Love blues in any shade. They would make a cool Christmas present.
Family game for any age LCR It's a dice game for any age and any amount of players. Get three chips each, roll dice, if you get a L, pass a chip to your Left, if you get a R, pass a chip to your Right, if you get a C, pass a chip to the Center. If you get a blank, keep your chips. Last one remaining with chips is the winner, plus the Center Pot. Quick, fast and fun.
We play "Slug Bug" and of course the boys love it!! BLUES!! There was a quilt shop owner where I used to live who would give me a hard time if I picked up anything but a blue. Since it was "my" color and she knew it! Thanks!!
We play Hot Rod Blocked Ya. My son made it up when he was about 2 1/2. Its kind of like I saw the hot rod first and the blocked ya is like you got schooled. Its so funny to play since he's about ready to drive his own car. Love the blues Thanks for a great give away.
Cynthia
I would love to win the blue. I loved your blue quilt from the moment I saw it.
We do lots of tickle games. Tickle daddy, tickle both girls, etc. Since I am not ticklish, it works great for me!
My husband and I have lots of silly games: we used to be ferociously competitive at the one-headlight game, then spying specific types of cars. We also always say "it's your birthday" when the clock reads the time right (for me 10:17). We also play 2-player canasta, where we have a book to keep track of who's ahead... over the last 6 years!
Would love that lovely blue pack ;)
Our favorite game is I Spy. It especially a fun challenge to play it with a 2 year old, but he's getting the hang of it. Thanks for a chance at winning the great fabrics. casands1@comcast.net
I don't have any silly games that I play however my favorite color is green - any shade - I LOVE green!!!!
My kids ask me all the time what my favorite color is....I think I just like color. period.
My little kids love to play the card game called "Sleeping Queens".

My baby girl is only 7 months old, but we already have a silly game. It's called "upside down bedtime"---we spend at least a few minutes before bed doing upside down things :)
I love the blue quilt!
my best friend and i have a game we play where we pretend we are a poodle (her) and a dinosaur (me). when we are tired or grumpy, we'll respond as our character -- it's soo funny that we don't say grumpy for long!
When my boyfriend and I are having breakfast or dinner and there is something missing, we play rock, paper, scissors to see who has to get up and go the kitchen :)
Thanks for this great giveaway. I am in a blue-phase right now (in the good way) ;)
My favorite color? RED! Love the blues in your blue quilt!
I LOVE fall too! It's my most favorite time of year & I wouldn't stop wearing cozy sweaters if you paid me. :)
By the way... please pick me for the give away!!! I started graduate school full time in August (in addition to working full time) & have had NO free time to sew. If I won this quilt kit I would have the best Christmas break ever! :)
Oh, yes- my new favorite color is grey. :)
Thanks for your post today. Someone is going to be super lucky to receive that giveaway. Silly games? I remember one my mom used to play with me. It was a dialogue that goes like this:
You remind me of a man.
What man?
The man with the power.
What power?
The power of Hoodoo.
Who do?
You do.
Do what?
Remind me of a man.
What man?
We used to go round and round and round. It still makes me smile.
My mom loves your blog and reads it religiously. The only thing she loves more is the color blue. ;)
Happy November! I just love blue. Blue is my favorite color and I would love to win all that wonderful pretty blue fabric. My husband and I play a silly game every Sunday with our cat. Her name is Shadow and we play a game called SS day. That day belongs to Shadow and we give her loves and hugs all day long. It is called Shadow Sunday.

On the way to church, my kids call out who can see the church first, second, etc...
We probably play some pretty silly games, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. My favorite color is blue (seriously!).
What great colors.. We love to play movie "song" trivia especially in the car. If a song comes on that was in a movie everyone else needs to say which movie it was in..
So silly games, but navy blue is a favorite of mine!
My family loves to have sing-a-longs in the car. We crank up the music to our "theme song" as we are starting out every journey together! Its great bonding time and sets the mood right for a long drive: silly and excited.

The silly game we play is telling each other, You're my favorite. Then we say favorite what? And the variations are endless: husband, chaffeur, jar opener, ice cream scooper, Sunday breakfast maker, etc
The latest "game" we play is geocaching. We can do it as a family or as a couple. A good way to walk, talk and have fun.
Oh please, please, please let me win this one, it's perfect for my current project! Silly games? We have hundreds - right now, the favorite is that every time I push my 3 year old on the swing, I have to say something like "Good bye!" "Don't come back", "See you later!" He laughs like crazy!
I love blue, when I was pregnant with mij first child I bought several clothes in blue, when teh nurse came checking if everything was ok, she asked me "do you think it's a boy?" (35 years ago you had to guess what it was) and I said "no, i do like blue" I gave birth to a babygirl and she was gorgeous in blue, Now she has her first child and thats a boy. I am sure I can make a beautiful quilt for that little baby boy. I've read a lot of the comments and they all can make a quilt from it so I wish you strenghth by making your choice.
Greetings, Henny
I can't think of any silly games that my family plays but my favorite color is green.
we have two little ones and they still love to play what they call 123 woosh! It's just mom and dad each holding one of their hands and swinging them along as we walk. Ahh the simple things! Right now their playing the 2nd fave game...chasing dust motes!
Those blues are lovely.
In my family, we play buck-buck-buckleberry. It's just a hiding game, where one person hides the buckleberry while everyone else is in the other room. Once it's hidden, they shout out "buck-buck-buckleberry" and everyone races in to find it. My kids love it. I played it when I was a kid and I love passing it on to my kids.
Lately we get points for spotting particular vehicles on the road: motorcycles, banana cars (anything yellow) or mustangs. It gets quite competitive!
The girls are big into knock knock jokes these day. But the answer to every single one is "XXXXX on you!"
When traveling in the car, our family always plays a game with songs. You first have a word, "red," for example, then each person has to come up with a song that has "red" in the lyrics. You have to sing at least a line of the song correctly. It's very fun and the time goes by quickly.
My daughter is 15 months old, so her favourite 'game' at the moment is to run away laughing every time I try to get her dressed or undressed!
And my favourite colour is green. But if I win, it may change to blue! :)
I love your blue quilt! On the weekend my husband and I take turns sleeping in while the other goes downstairs with the kids. When we hear the other person coming downstairs, the girls hide and "scare" them.
Blue is my husband's favorite color so he would love a quilt from these. My favorite color is yellow.
We try to out-love each other. "I love you" is countered with "I love you more" which you think would win, but can be topped with "I love you mostest".
My grandparents live in Idaho Falls. Driving into Idaho Falls, you can see the temple by the river right before the exit on the freeway to their house. The game used to be that whoever saw the temple first always got a kiss. My sister and I would always be craning our necks from the backseat the last few miles to IF!
Yummy blues!
My children are quite young, so we play a lot of "I Spy"! I love blues and greens!
My husbands favorite color is blue so these fabrics would be great for a quilt for him. I favorite color is peach but you can never go wrong with purple.
Lovely blues! The game itself isn't so silly but we get silly playing our family tradition - Hand and Foot, which is a form of canasta.
Blue was my favorite color for years but it has been taken over by greens! My new favorite! Thanks for a chance to win your blues.
My favorite color is orange, which would look great with all those blues. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love to watch/listen to my husband and little kids play hide 'n go seek. They laugh and giggle and chase each other around. These are wonderful sounds! And I'd love to win this blue fabric. Thanks for a really awesome blog! I come here often for inspiration and information.
No silly game here but blue is my favorite color.

I'm sure we have a silly game that I can't think of right now, but we do play 'name that tune' a lot. You would not believe how many 80's metal bands my 9 yr old knows. And I would so love to win the blue, as I have to make 2 growth charts for boys and just decided that I wanted to piece them in different color blue strips.
We try to nibble on our family members. Mmmm, I'm hungry, I think this elbow looks like a tasty snack. What do you mean you're not food?
Well - my boys' favorite color is blue so this would be perfect to make a quilt for one of them to use on their bed.
Pink, any shade of pink
November is always my favorite month!
My daughter (6) and I play a very fun game. She will not allow me to keep any kisses that I steal from her. She always has to steal them back. It's a great way to get kisses from her :)
My hubby is a math nut and so when he comes home he starts yelling out different math problems that all equal the same thing and trys to trick the girls into giving the wrong answer. Then they come up with some really hard ones for him to answer. I think he would really like a blue quilt in this house full of pink.
My Twin toddlers love to play "wake up"...I have to pretend to be asleep & then they have to wake me up - usually they give me a shake or a poke. The one of them will do some fake snoring & we have to wake him up...so cute!
I would love to win your fabrics just so I can make a quilt for one of them ready for when we change their cots into cot-beds!
Thank you for the chance to win.
Amanda x
My favorite color is red. Thanks for the great give away. I would use the beautiful blues to make one a city quilt of all blues and grays.
At an opportune moment, we say another family member's name like we're really mad. Then when we get their stunned "What?" we say, I love you! Thanks for the chance to win!
One of our favorites is hide and seek with our dog. We go hide and then she comes and finds us. My kids think it is the best ever.
This would be perfect, blue is my fav!
My favorite color is green. No silly games yet, but I'm sure as my 14 month old gets older we'll have lots!
Purple is probably my favorite, but I could sure use those blues for a project that I'm getting started on soon.
Blue is my favourite colour.
In our family, we try to be the first to phone each other to wish Happy Birthday.
We have a song that we sing with everyone's name. Same tune, different names. They love it. There are seven of us, so it takes quite awhile but they feel special when we sing there name.
I love the greys in this kit!
What a lovely giveaway.That would make a nice quilt formy husband who LOVES blue. We have a race to the car everytime we go somewhere. Yes we are the people who run in parking lots ;)
We play "go fish" and "guess who" a lot at our house. The kids are always making up their own games to play, too. The trouble is they also make up their own rules and they change constantly!
The blues are fabulous!
Happy November to you too! Keeping my fingers crossed on this giveaway!
I love giveaways! And I love green.
Wow, those are some lovely blues! November makes me happy, too. And my daughter made up our Humming Game: we take turns humming songs and guessing what they are. Pretty simple but lots of fun, especially when you're the hummer!
My favorite color is blue...and red and pink and yellow and green.. Hard to choose!
I would use these to make a quilt for a friend who is having a baby boy, something he could grow with.
Recently, we have been playing peek-a-boo with my daughter or you turn your head make a silly face and then look back at her with the silly face, turn your head so she can't see you, and repeat. She thinks that is hilarious. My favorite color is definitely green!
My daughter is only 2 1/2 years old, so our silly family game is chasing each other. As long as we're screaming and running she thinks it's fun!
This is an awesome giveaway! My son and I play a Scare Ya Game - where we startle each other when least expected. To keep it most unexpected we limit the frequency, the last time I got him good was in the summer.... he's due for one soon (he's probably thinking the same - better be on my guard!!)
at the dinner table - we take turns choosing a letter of the alphabet and then we take turns coming up with words that start with that letter. It's quick.. easy and good for the kiddos.
We like the game Ruckus - I like to play it, even though I'm not very good, so that's the sign of a good game in my book.
We play SlugBug but we don't hit. We've played it when I was little and I started it with my kids, oldest 27 and youngest 13 so we have been playing it for many years. These fabrics are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care and God bless, Cory
Our favorite game is on someone's birthday to be the first one to say "now that you're almost __". It started with my father over 50 years ago and keeps on going.
We play the word of the day game. And if you say the word everyone has to yell.
Love your blue quilt! Great giveaway! On the first day of the month, we play who can be the first person to ask and answer, 'what holiday(s) are in this month.' Later in the day, we ask the adults to explain the meaning of those holidays.
MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BLUE !!!!
THANKS FOR SHARING! LOVE,LINDA

Great giveaway! I can't think of any silly games at the moment, but my current favorite color is a soft green.

Favorite color is green. I have a lot of green fabrics, but very few green quilts to show for it. Funny how that works.
With three small ones in the house, we play the "I'm hungry" "Nice to meet you hungry, I'm Mommy" ALL the time.
:)
My son and I have an "I love you game". We start with "I love you" and the next line would be "I love you more" and the last person would say "impossible". The challenge is to find ways to not say "I love you more" because "Impossible" wins. We have fun finding creative ways to say "I love you."
It's hard to choose just one silly game but I think the silliest thing we do is while my husband is in the shower in the morning my daughter and I hide in the bed upside down. Feet on the pillow, and heads at the foot.
It's fun to grab dad from under the covers when he sits down.
And orange for my favourite colour.
so many funny games to choose from.. one of my favorites..
we have a daily contest to see who can get 'jammafied' first. Whoever gets in their pajamas first then runs into the kitchen yelling at the top of your lungs "I WIN!!" is the winner.
when I get he kids how from school, we all race to our rooms to get changed! WE wills sometimes lock the door behind us, trying to slow the other ones down.
It's a silly game, but we love it! And when my oldest son & daughter0in0law come home for the holidays.. well all the more to play with!!
I used to like this family game: a running competition from the door to the car and who got there first. But resently I am not sure that I want to continue playing it, since my boys are now 15, 17 and 19 I am hopelessly left behind. But I would like to win your blue fabric :-)
Oooh, I need about 900 more blue squares for a postage stamp quilt :-)
A silly game my daughter came up with when she was three and learning not to call people names. We'd say something silly like "I call you elbow" and she'd look around the room for something like "I call you chair." This could go on for 15 minutes or more as we ended up in a heap of laughter.
Luv the blue, it's my favourite colour. On road trips, my husband and I find the local radio station and play "name that tune" seeing who can holler out the name of the song first!
Sometimes, my hubby and I have a hard time to fall asleep. So we imitate the various characters of the TV show 24. It makes us laugh pretty bad and we end up falling asleep without knowing :-)
Blue Blue Blue is really is my favorite color :0).....so calming and relaxing......just love BLUE!
Thanks so much for a chance to win.
Can't remember silly games...except hogging the bathroom :0)...my turn please get out of the bathroom!!!!
My family played Sardines. Its kind of like Hide and Seek, only 1 person hides and everyone else tries to find them. When you find the "hider" you join them until there is only one person left searching and everyone is packed in the hiding spot like Sardines!
I'm just venturing into the world of quilting and cant wait to try out Kona solids!

OOOh so pretty! I'm into purple right now, but don't have a "favorite color per say. My Hubs would love these nice manly colors in a quilt. Thanks for the chance.
My favorite quilt colors are green and blue. I can't decide between the two!
My favorite color is Red, however most everybody else I know is Blue. It would be awesome to create one of your quilts! Thanks for offer. marymoilanen at yahoo dot com
Oh, for Heaven's sake, Amanda Jean. You're not going to read this comment -- there are 766 others. We play a silly game where each of the kids chooses a sound that they're going to make. Then they all kneel in a row and put their heads down. Then Dad plays them like a piano -- or a one-man band. When he touches their back, they lift up and make their sound. It's so hilarious! I laugh my head off -- so do the kids and Daddy!
Blue. Oh. My.
Happiest of Novembers to you! :o)
i hope it's not too late...i have two little boys so these blues will be put to good use...
When I was a kid and there wasn't enough ice cream left in the container for everyone to have a regular serving, my dad would tell us to grab a spoon and play the mostest game...whoever ate the fastest got the mostest! Actually, blue is my favorite color, but I haven't made any blue quilts. Go figure!

games? hm, does seeing who can hit snooze the most times count? :)
Prowling lions. My husband pretends to be a lion and chases our four kids around the house shrieking. Lots of fun.
I would love to make a quilt for my nephew from this quilt kit! Our favorite game to play in the car is I Spy! My girls love it! Thanks for the chance to win, love the blog!
My 4 year old granddaughter and I play "I love you more than...." on the way to school every morning. Its fun to hear the things she comes up with. Today it was "more than all feathers on all the birds in all the world" Thats alot of love. Thanks for the fun giveaway.
I am a green girl, but my sweetie loves blue. We play and and all kinds of silly games... I drive a Beetle and I love seeing kids play "slug bug" as I drive by.
We do like to play fun games on the Wii, With a house of teen/adult children it is hard to get enough of them home to play silly games.
Oh that blue is delicious!
The silly game we play is to quote movie lines and someone else in the family finishes it. It delights my husband to no end as our teenage sons are familiar with more and more of the Brat Pack movies of the 80s.
My favorite was when we were on our way out one day and he said, "Gimme the keys." And my 13yo son piped up, "You ain't got no license, Lisa!"
My 3 boys always race to see who can be the first to kiss me goodbye when the bus is coming. They wouldn't want any of their friends to see them giving a kiss to their ol' Mom, oh no!!!
Looks like some beautiful fabric - thanks for being so generous!
With three young boys we like to play wrestling games.
WOW 778 comments. I have to enter anyway. I would love to win the quilt kit. favorite color is red.
With three kids under the age of four, we're usually pretty silly, but we've yet to really start playing games. Our favorite thing these days is to put on superhero capes and run around the house yelling superhero things like, "Up, up, and away to save the day!"
We have a fun homemade mouse trap game that we love to play. This would be great for a winter quilt I want to make.
No games but I currently am in love with orange
My husband and I ( It's just us so far) play a similar game that you spoke of but instead of month it's anniversaries. It's the monthly anniversary of when we started dating, when we got engaged and when we got married. So three times a month, it's a race to see who realizes the date first! The winner gets bragging right for the rest of the month, which can sometimes be torture, lol.
I love these colors and hpw I can win them so I can make an beautiful quilt for our new home! (We have decoreted in all blues and grays:) )
So I am comment number 784!!! WOW! Our silly game is a treasure hunt for Christmas presents, clues wrapped in boxes and a task (singing, hugging etc) before the next clue. My kids wont give it up, and they are over 20 now !!!
Love the blues, but my favourite colour is yellow, red, green, orange.....I guess I just love lots of colour! Hope I win these.
In my family a "silly" game is a rousing game of scrabble, so it would be really helpful to have a quilt to curl up in when they put me to sleep. My favorite color is blue, so this is perfect!
Okay, this is really silly, but the kids and I had fun anyway. We would have to be in the car for this one; but I usually started, with the license plate in front of us, and whatever letters there were on that plate, we would have to make a word out of it; definitely easier as they got older, but challenging and you had think!
What I do for a chance to win! ;)
We play charades. Dad whispers to whoever is up (we have 3 boys and no girls) an animal and the rest of us try to guess it. The kiddos love it and its quite entertaining! The blues look lovely for a boy quilt. Crossing my fingers on this one!

My favorite color is blue - so I would be really really really excited to win this! : )
our little thing is that whenever there is the 'last' of something like the last slice of pizza or the last grape, etc, we all say, "THE. LAST. MELON." like from the movie Ice Age. We even had our 2 year old saying it, now we don't even think about it. it's just common phrase here. :)
thanks for the chance! and for the great inspiration!!!!!!!!

We have raging games of "Payday" in our family. My kids also like to "Amelia Bedelia" me, and take what I say absolutely literally. I really have to watch what I say!
I'd love the blue quilt kit!
My favourite color is orange, but I would love to have all these blues. Thank you for the giveaway.
Love blues! so cheery.
our silly game is the same as the Kennedy's used to play..
I won it , I tooted...etc.
Oh, I can't think of any fun games we play right at the moment. My favorite color is blue, however, so I hope I win this giveaway!!
We don't have any silly games...yet! But with 2 boys in the house, I could use all that blue! And it's my favorite color, too!
Bananagrams and Mexican Train (dominoes). And I LOVE the blues and the quilt you made earlier!
Those are great colors. And yes, it's always nice to wrap up in a quilt during this time of year. The games we love to play are superhero games. My son who is 2 1/2 puts on his cape and runs around saying "chase me, mommy" "chase me, daddy" so we run run run and LAUGH as we run around our house...we sure get our exercise!!
We really have a silly game we
play occasionally at Christmas.
After the presents are opened,
someone will throw a bow at
someone else and the bow fight is
on. I save the bows that can't be
used again especially for the next
bow fight.
I love blue so this contest would
be great for me.

my Mom loves blue and I don't think I can make her enough quilts.
Never have enough blue in my stash;) Kona how lovely ---the best stuff on Earth ya'll!!! Hope to win some!
Blue is my "favorite" color - always has been, always will be. No reason why except for it's calming properties I guess. Would love to win!
It drives me and my husband nuts, but our kids come up with random chants that they'll repeat over and over and over. and over. A recent one? "Banana, bananafish"
My favorite color is purple, but a blue quilt would be fun!
I love blue, blue of all shades. DH and I are long past playing games. We do play with our GC .. they like to play "ships coming over" and be the frist to find xxxx. thanks
I'd love to enter your giveaway, Amandajean. My favorite color is periwinkle.
We love to play dance freeze with crazy music. SO silly:)
Don't have a family so colour it is... and how perfect? My favourite colour is Blue!!
Thanks,
MK
