Did you see that
DeeRoo is leading Round 9 (!!!) of the
Old Red Barn quilt along? She is doing variations on a theme...and the theme is Ticker Tape. I have a bunch of small scraps...and these would be perfect for a
Ticker Tape quilt. I'm going to give these scraps away to one reader.
There are lots of scraps!
All you have to do is leave a comment here and you will be entered into the drawing. My one stipulation is that you can't make fun of the size of fabric scraps I save. I can't help myself...I have a hard time throwing any fabric away. Obviously. :)
Happy Monday to you!

1 – 200 of 556 Newer› Newest»I would love to win this! I made a black and white ticker tape doll quilt for my daughter after I saw yours on the blog. I've wanted to make another one, but when it comes to colors I feel lacking. I like to envy the fabric choices of others on the internet instead. And I won't make fun of you! =)
I would love to be entered in this giveaway! I looove the very little scraps...I love making them into quilted bookmarks!!!
Karen
ooh the ticker tape quilt has been on my list for a while! Would love to have your scraps as inspiration!
How fun! i hope I win!
I promise not to make fun.
This is a great idea for a new quilt.
Make fun?!? I would never make fun! I would love that bucket of scraps and the challenge of making a ticker-tape quilt; it looks like you've got a fantastic mix of colors!
I promise to accept my winnings in the most respectful way.
Cross my heart.
I have small scraps, too. No poking fun will be done by me!
What a GREAT collection of scraps! A Ticker Tape quilt has been on my list of projects for a while. I'm new to quilting, so I'm still building my scrap stash :)
Holly
I love the ticker tape quilt......what a fun way to use up small scraps! No worries about me making fun of your small scraps....I have a mason jar full of very, very, very small scraps that I have cut off of triangles.....now that is small.......just for decoration though :)
I never tried free motion. If I win, I will try! I promise.
AManda Jean, these would be great for my charm hexie quilt. Thank you for the chance
I'm with you...I keep a lot of scraps--you never know when you will need them!
Your scraps are much more fabulous than mine! I would love to work with them =)
Cute scraps. I love scraps too and have a hard time throwing any away. A ticker tape quilts looks like a lot of fun.
what great colors in your scrap bin!
oh my, i *love* scraps...my husband likes to poke fun at the tiny ones i save..but you just never know where they will fit in!
I could never make fun of the size, I keep the same ones! I'm jealous of the container you have to store them in. Mine are just scattered throughout drawers!
Oh I'd love to win!! They are so pretty :)
I am joining in with Dee on the quilt-a-long, so these scraps will go to good use. Thanks for the chance of winning.
If it makes you feel any better I save scraps that size as well!
Happy New Year!
Ooh, I've been saving my scraps, but felt like I didn't have enough variety, yet. This would be fun! :)
How fun! I could have so much fun with these scraps.
Thanks!
Thank you for the opportunity to win your lovely scraps! It is amazing how handy those small scraps can be! The ticker tape quilt looks very cool!
Scraps are like pennies... the more you save the richer you are!! Nothing wrong with the size!
Would love to win this rich little bundle. =)
I've been wanting to do a ticker tape quilt. Love the scraps! Thanks for the giveaway.
Your scraps look wonderful - I was just saying to a friend how I could become addicted to sewing tiny scraps to things - I think my scraps are even smaller than yours so no fun would be made - promise :0)
I promise not to make fun of the size! I can't part with little bits either and have been wanting to make a ticker tape quilt ever since I saw yours!
Wow, I have been looking for "deals" for scraps! Hope I win...PJM
I'd love your scraps! I too keep tiny pieces for a future scrappy quilt!
Such cute fabrics! I would love to win them!
i doubt that you'll have anything smaller than the scraps that i keep holding on to. needless to say, i do love scraps, a lot! so i would love to win! thanks so much!
Your collection is one of our gain. I'd love to enter your giveaway.

How pretty! I'd love to make a ticker tape quilt with those. My scraps seem so boring.
Amy in SC
I would love to give this quilt a try, it has been on my list of quilts for longer than I care to share :)
Thanks for the chance to win! I've had ambitions of making a ticker tape quilt for aaaaages now...
What a fun giveaway! I've always wanted to make a ticker tape quilt. I also have a very hard time throwing scraps away :)
You have such great scraps!! I would love to try this quilt out, I hope I win :)
Scraps can never be too small in my book! They can always be combined to make bigger pieces! Happy New Year!
Oh me me me me me please! I never win a giveaway, so here's to hoping a new year brings new luck!
i think we all know the feeling. even i have a hard time throwing away my scraps but am always looking to add to the collection.
Please enter me in your giveaway! I enjoy scraps of most any size!
Fun! I've always liked scrap quilts like ticker tape, but I don't have a lot of scraps, so this is perfect.
I would love your scraps to mix with my own to finally make a ticker tape quilt. I just scored some white kona on sale and some batting so I'm ready to go!!! If I get to win I'll get to work right away and blog about it so you can see what happens with all your little scraps. = )
(my baby is now 3 months and my sewing break is killing me! I'm ready to dive back in!!!)
I'm running over now to check out the quilt along. Just wanted to say, I've enjoyed reading your blog and really like your pevious post below. Thanks.
I love making quilts out of scraps! Count me in!

I would love to win these scraps! I love adding variety to my stash and there are so many great projects that use scraps like these, especially the ticker tape quilt! Thanks for the giveaway!
me too, I save the weirdest shapes. A ticker tape quilt is a fabulous idea. Thanks for the chance to win some beautiful scraps.
That bucket of scraps looks like a bucket of fun!
oooheee! i just LOVE scraps, and i too find it tricky to throw away any fabric. my friends always comment on seeing the tiniest peices in my scrap quilts.
please pick me!! :)
scraps are almost more fun then new fabric! almost that is, hee hee.
anna
Oh how exciting! I have always wanted to try my hand at a quilt like this, but have never have enough variety in my scraps (I guess that means I need to do more projects, right?!) to do it! Pick me, pick me! :)
love your scraps!! would die to get this!
I am grateful for your giveaway. :o) I thinks it's smart and sensible to save scraps...you never know!
I'd love the chance to win your scraps, a ticker tape quilt is on my to-do list! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I have a hard time parting with even the teeniest of scraps - I love them all :) Thank you for the chance at some new scrappy goodness!
I couldn't make fun of the size of your scraps even if I wanted to -- I quilt with my mother, and we both save any scrap that is at least 1 inch square. We keep them in a fishbowl on the counter in the sewing room. Not only is it handy when you need just a "little bit" of a color, it also makes a pretty decoration!!
It is a wise woman, thinking ahead and always ready for quilting adventure, who keeps a scrap stash! *wink*
Thank you for a chance to win this great giveaway (I'm a new quilter and have a mere 7 bits in my scrap jar at this time!)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
What a perfect way to start the new year! A little spring cleaning and craftiness all rolled into one! Love it! Thanks for the giveaway, too! :-)
it would be lovely to win your scraps - please enter me into the drawing and happy new year :)
Good for you for saving even little scraps! My goal this year is to waste less. Thanks for the chance to win!
I think I save scraps even smaller than yours! I would love to add these to my stash!
oh my dear I would ever love to have your scraps !
Glass houses would make it impossible to judge anyone on what they save.
Great giveaway! My fingers are crossed :)
so pretty, thanks for the giveaway
Oh please let me win! All of my fabrics are in storage because we are moving, but I'm so excited about round 9!!! If I win this then I wont have to dig around moving boxes. My Juki is moving in the car with me!
oh, please pick me!! I would just love to have your scraps for a ticker tape quilt!! I promise I would never dream of making fun :-)
thanks for the giveaway!
They look just perfect to me. Besides this project is all about variety and isn't that what counts. Thanks for a chance to win.
I think it's awesome you have so many scraps! I'd love tomake a ticker tape doll quilt!
I can't make fun of the size of your scraps--I've been trying to save more little bits so that I can make a ticker tape quilt! I could definitely use some more, though--my little bit bin is rather puny!
I LOVE other people's scraps! It widens my horizons in fabric choices! I also love that I'm not the only one that just can't get rid of a little scrap of fabric. You never know when you'll need it!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Me!!! Pick ME! : )
What a lovely giveaway. Would put those babies to good use.
Thanks for the offer.
I also like to hold on to my scraps. I certainly would love to add yours to mine as well. LOL!
This is my first time seeing the ticker tape quilt & I LOVE it! I also love all the fabrics you use & am sure to enjoy the scraps!
I've often thought of just asking you for some of your scraps. Now I have the chance to win some. Oh please pick me!! I need a ticker tape quilt.
I would love to be entered this giveaway. I like scrap quilts, and there are so many baby in our church, who would love to get it...
Györgyi
There is nothing I need more than scraps. I hope I win yours!
Thank you so much for offering up all your precious scraps. :)
I would love to win this! You have the most beautiful scraps :)
I'm on a fabric diet but I don't think that includes scraps or giveaways, so sign me up!!
Awww, just to touch your scraps!:)Thanks for the chance.
I will gladly take your scraps! Thanks for a chance :)
Oh happy day! To add to my scraps the amazing fabric you work with... would totally make my "cleaning closets" day so much better!
count me in!
Just got a walking foot, already trying it out on some of my own scraps making an "I spy" quilt. Thanks so much!
Hey, those scraps would look perfect in my stash!
i love scraps! i keep them in all sorts of unusable shapes and sizes - i'm waiting for that really, really tiny strip quilt....or something.
hey all the fabric costs the same amount whether its a yardage or a small piece, so I have a heck of atime tossing scraps away! You've got some lovely colours and bits in there that I would love to have!
Wow..thanks for the oppotunity..I have never made a ticker tape quilt so this would be the perfect opportunity.
Those scraps look mighty fine to me. :) Anything under 1/2" is too small. ;)
I love this pieces of fabric.

Our car died, so no more buying fabric for awhile. =( Would love to play with those scraps!
I wouldlove to win your scraps! I love sewing what other quilters are drawn to. Sometimes I think my work is better when I have to use something I haven't chosen.
Ha ha, I save scraps that small too! :) you never know what you might be able to use them for!
I would love to win this too! Thanks for the chance!
Would love to win your lovely scraps!
I would never make fun of your lovely pieces of fabric . . . they would make something beautiful. Thanks for the chance!
So pretty, thanks for the giveaway .
I would love to win
Scraps, those lovely leftovers! Thanks for the give away!
Yum! Scraps :) I am joining in round 9... first I was thinking about a quilt for the spare room, but now I think that this will be one for the couch. To watch movies under! Thanks so much Amanda for the chance to win! Fingers crossed.
пожалуйста, я тоже хотела бы выиграть, это мой любимый размерчик
Scraps!! all of them are really good!! all of us have in mind works to be done :-) Thank you Amanda for sharing with us
I promise to not make fun of your scraps!!!
Would love to join the Ticker Tape parade of scraps!
I'd love to make a ticker tape quilt!
Thank you
Love these scraps! I've been wanting to try a quilt for a while now, but perfect edges and lines scare me. I am very haphazard in my sewing, so I think a ticker tape quilt would be the best way to start. I'm a newby to sewing, so I have no scrap stash as of yet.
I have been wanting to make a ticker tape quilt for ages... and now I have a daughter so I could make a cute little doll sized one. I would love some variety to add to my scrap stash too!
Golly--someone lusting over someone else's scraps has no business making fun of anyone! thanks for sharing-i haven't done a TT yet but if i win these i sure will!
i would love to combine your itsy bitsy pieces with my own! ticker tape quilts are so much fun!
I won't make fun of the sizes of your scraps if you don't make fun of the size of mine. Deal?

It is so much fun to play with someone else's scraps! My hubby thinks I'm nuts as I sort through a package of scraps that came in the mail that day. And I made my first ticker tape quilt this Christmas - a doll quilt for my granddaughter - and now I want to make a big one!! So I hope I win!!
Woo hoo! I don't have time at the moment to participate in the quilt along right now, but I will definitely be following along. I love scraps!
Oh my....I love the tiny box of scraps you have! ;) I save those little scraps in my scrap box too for the full on intention to make one of these ticker tape quilts! Thanks for sharing them!
Great giveaway!!
You'd be more likely to make fun of the size of my scraps! Am finally going through my scrap basket after 6 months of just tossing things in.... have decided there isn't much i can do with a 1/4 inch strip!
I save all my tiny scraps, too! :) You inspired me with your ticker tape quilt to save them! :)
Unless it's too small to sew, it's not too small to keep! I'd love to be entered in your draw.
Thanks!
Ashley.

Oooo I was wanting to do a ticker tape quilt! I just didn't know where to start and with what scraps! But I want YOURS!!! LOL
I keep alot of scraps too and discovered that they are great for small applique pieces! I would love to win these!
i have a hard time throwing fabric away too, especially when it's so pretty.
I would LOVE these. I have been wanting to try a ticker tape quilt for a while but need more scraps to round out my selection. These would be perfect!!
Lodmellb@yahoo.com
I've only just started collecting small scraps just for a ticker tape quilt. It's so nice to know even the little bitty pieces can be used in a beautiful way.
Fabulous! I've never made a ticker tape quilt... thanks for the great giveaway!
I'd love to win~ No poking fun, since that would be like making fun of myself for doing the same thing! LOL
I bet your scraps are bigger than mine! So I want yours:)
Also I prefer diversity over uniformity!
Sweet! What a cool honor to be make this quilt with your scraps since you started this whole thing. Awesome giveaway :)
I love little scraps, I save them myself too. But... I don't have so many of them as you have!
I would love to win your scraps, they look so pretty.
Jittina, the Netherlands
Oh what timing! I just last night put "sew a ticker-tape quilt" on my craft-o-lutions for 2011. I'd love to add some of your scraps.
Any size ,Any color, sounds good to me.thanks for the chance to win,Amy
ooh! I've been wanting to tackle a Ticker Tape quilt ever since I saw yours! I would LOVE these!
love it! i am the same way! thanks for the giveaway
I would love to make a Ticker Tape quilt and what better way then to get to use the scraps of the original designer!
Beautiful scraps! I believe you can make anything work out of even the tiniest scrap :)
I would love to make those scraps into a ticker tape! Thanks for the chance!
Love the scraps!
danithaxton@yahoo.com
i'm a small scrap saver too! fun to win some!
i'm the same way! no scrap is too small! what a fun quilt along, i'm off to check it out!
I've seen your stash so I know your scrap bin rocks! Cool idea to kick off a great quilt along. I wish I could participate in this quilt along, but I really need to finish my UFOs before starting yet another quilt. I would still be happy to take some scraps off your hands for my future ticker tape quilt project!
Yay I love a giveaway!
I wolud love to win them! Tahnks for sharing!
oooh fab giveaway count me in ...Karen xx
I promise I can give those scraps a good home where they would be used quickly and on the most adorable projects. pinky swear!
As a relative newbie I don't have a 'scrap stash' yet and suffer badly from scrap envy when I see what other quilters make with theirs....boo hooooo..sniffle. What I'd do for a box of scraps to play with.
I would love to win this! I could never laugh at a fellow fabric lover!
cookn4famfriends@gmail.com
i love scraps too, and i save teeny tiny ones :) i'd love to win this to add to my scrap stash!
I would really love to get my hands on those scraps! I keep practically everything in hopes of using them for ticker tape quilts or paper piecing
I also have a habit of saving ridiculously small fabric scraps. I recently went through them and had a very hard time convincing myself I wouldn't be able to use them for anything.
I save every tiny little scrap too - why waste it if you can use it somewhere, right?
Would love a chance at your pretty scraps. Thank you!
Yay for a giveaway! I save really small scraps too, so you're a woman after my own heart. Thanks for offering these!
I am not sure I have enough scraps for ticker tape quilt. I would love to win those scraps.
I save the teeny tiniest scraps too and then ort through them and convince myself to throw a few away that REALLY are useless. Fab giveaway!
Ooh, I love scraps!
AmandaJean, I will take your scraps, no matter how small--you have good taste! I'll use them and make you proud!
i guess i'm like you...i even save the tiniest scraps...sorted by size...yep, down to 3/4" strip width :)
thanks for so generously sharing...your scraps look yummy!
happy new year,
julia
What a great giveaway! Thanks. : ) I save all sizes of scraps too, so I know how you feel.
I'm the same, just can't throw away any scraps. would love to have some different fabrics other than my own stash.
what fun fabrics!!! i have been wanting to make a ticker tape quilt forever... this would be the perfect opportunity (:
i love ticker tape quilts! so much fun! who doesn't love a scrap buster project ! and why do i think other peoples fabric scraps are so much more fun than mine! haha
I recognize a couple of fabric scraps I have in your pile of scraps but my scraps are no way as colorful as your scrap heap. I seem to be stuck on a couple of colors...
I adore scraps and also ticker tape!
Amanda, I am not laughing at the size of your scraps. I have more that are smaller. They will have use at my sewing table.
I loved your ticker tape quilt so I'd love to make one for myself!! These scraps would come in handy!
jodym7@yahoo.com
Those scraps will help me create my scrap quilt :) thank you
Please enter me in your giveaway! I love scraps! Thank you!
I would love to win this and try a ticker-tape quilt. Of course, my girls would probably make Polly Pocket bedding out of them, as they do my scraps. I could hide them, though . . .
I save all my scraps, too, no matter how tiny! mfsbailey at gmail.
Would love to add the ever growing scrap collection.
I love scraps.
Happy New Year. Thanks for the giveaway. I haven't done a ticker tape quilt yet but I did make a few bookmarks for a friend using your ticker tape concept.
Aww, a scrappy pile after my own heart! Those orange scraps with polka dots, that light blue, the pale pinks all make my heart race! Seeing into someones scrap basket must be close to seeing deep within them. It would be so much fun to create with yours!! Thanks for the chance and Happy New Year!
It pains me to throw away any scraps! Fingers crossed for this one :)
Linda
(snort!) I'm unlikely to make fun of how small your scraps are, seeing as I was fishing tiny scraps out of the "toss" pile as my cousin was organizing my scraps.
Your scraps look like fun!
loves these scraps, and loves your ticker tape quilt!
Lovely! I've just made a ticker tape quilt for the dolls of my daughters. More scraps are welcome for no. 2!
Why is it that other's scraps are sooo much better than mine? I'd love yours!
heatherkojanatgmaildotcom
I can't throw fabric away either so I have lots of little pieces saved too! These would be a wonderful addition.
I keep all sizes of scraps too! I would love to have more to add to my collection.
I think you would laugh if you saw the size of the scraps that I keep :) Thanks for a chance at your giveaway.
That would be so awesome to win! :) Thanks for the giveaway!
branmaxson1 at yahoo dot com
WOW!!! I love love love your ticker tape since you wrote about it for the first time! It's wonderful. I'd love to do one for myself.
Thanks for the chance.
Number 3 on my 2011 Goals List (right after 1. Exercise! and 2. Budget!) are 5 quilts to make (including one for my sister getting married in May). Winning your amazing box would be fantastic (I don't know why anyone would make fun of you. Admire? Yes. Make fun? No.)
Happy 2011!!
Oh how I would kill to own your scraps!! What a tasty looking stash. Thanks for the chance to win! Jenn
I would love love any scraps! I am a new quilter and could really use them. Thanks! Happy new year.
Sometimes I think I'm quilting just to make scraps - I'd love to win!
I love working with scraps, so I love to win your giveaway!
I would love some scraps. I'm new at quilting and teaching myself as I go along. The Ticker Tape quilt would be a good one for me. Thanks.
One thing I've learned from reading your blog over the past few years, is that no piece is too small to save!
I love scraps.....I am currently making a quilt for my daughter using only scraps. And yes, I too save the smallest of pieces. :)
I totally save all of my scraps, no fun-making over here, I promise! I've always wanted to try a ticker tape quilt, so I'd love some ticker-tape-style scraps :)
hi. i wanna win! good luck to all! love scraps!
I promise I won't make fun!! I have a hard time throwing away fabric as well! Thank you for the chance to win them and I am looking forward to the quiltalong!!
Scraps are so much fun!
Tip:
I keep a basket on the floor beside my cutting table to collect all my odds and ends. When the basket is full, I dump it into a scrap bin for later use!
I love the idea of a ticker tape quilt. And don't worry, I save all my scraps, too. Anything 1" square or bigger is still usable, right?
I never know what is scrap and what is rubbish, always a tough call. Great giveaway.
I love scrap quilts, and the more scraps, the more variety. I'd love to win your scraps, I'd give them a good home!
I just found your blog and LOVE it! I am new to quilting and sewing and have learned so much from you! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win all those wonderful scraps!

No way would I make fun! I keep scraps too. My husband thinks I'm crazy :) I would love to win your scraps. I haven't made a Ticker Tape quilt yet, but I would love to. Please pick me - please - please - please!
I adore the ticker tape quilts and promise I would never laugh at the sizes.
I've been wanting to do a ticker tape quilt. Love the scraps! Thanks for the giveaway.
how could I make fun of the size of your scraps when they are the same size as mine???! :-)
Kristina
I have never made one so this would be a perfect starting point!! Fun!
