I put together a little bright birch tree starter kit that I'd like to send to a new home. I've collected a huge variety of small pieces (and they are small) but they are perfect for my bright birch trees pattern! The great thing is, most of the pieces are ready to sew up...very little trimming will be required. The kit includes a copy of the print pattern and a tall pile of small scraps...just add the background fabric of your choice! If you don't like small scraps, please do not enter. (Seriously!) :) If you do like small scraps and you'd like a chance to win, please leave me a comment on this post. In your comment, I'd love to hear what quilt project you are closest to completing. (I'm anxious for a finish, can you tell?) I'll pick a winner in a few days. US mailing addresses only this time, please! Thank you!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 519 of 519Love Love Love scraps. In fact there may be taking over, but I forge ahead. What a great giveaway. I would love to take them off your hands. I am closest to finishing a quilt for a friend that features blocks made by her quilter mom who passed away. Thank you so much.
My close to finished items are two baby quilts, both my own pattern and a large queen size quilt based on a Bonnie Hunter pattern called patches and pinwheels. I just have to put the bindings on each of them.
I am currently closest to finishing a scrap quilt with 2" squares. It's been a long project that I work on periodically, but I'm determined to make it my focus now. I have always loved your birch trees pattern, and would love to make one. Thanks for the opportunity!
What a wonderful pattern. I love scrappy quilts. I am finishing up a scrappy log cabin
acdiller@verizon.net
Sounds like fun! Thank you for the chance to play!
I love scraps. I'm using one of your patterns using scraps to make log cabin blocks 9 1/2 inch square.d
Your pattern is in my to-do list. Would love to win. logcabinquiltsATgmailDOTcom

Working on putting rows together on a Bonnie Hunter quilt called "Talking Turkey". I have found a paper piecing pattern with tiny flying geese that I want to try and those adorable small pieces of heaven would be perfect for this project. Thanks for the opportunity to add to my small stash. poladydwd(at)yahoo(dot)com
I LOVE scraps & am up for making a Birch Tree quilt. I'm just finishing a quilt to send to Orlando Modern Quilt Guild for their Pulse drive.
I am closest to finishing another project (I made 7 projects!) for the Henry Glass Fabrics Desire to Inspire Challenge for June! Eeep, I was so excited to be chosen. I love your Birch Tree Pattern and getting little scraps from YOU would be extra special. :-)
Love scraps... would love to make this for my sister.... love your blog...
I will be shameless about this. I Love ,Love, Love this pattern!!!!!
As far as finishing something, well a friend brought me material she purchased at a Tag Sale. There were 4 patches in the bag that were already sewn together. Red & white n blue N White. I took them and made a rectangle abstract flag for my front door.....made one for a friend and just mailed it.......Now I'm making a table runner with the rest....Still figuring how to lay it out??? God Bless and have a Great 4th weekend!!!!
Lovely...would love some new scraps
I'd love to win this!
I'm working on a heart quilt with Kaffe fabrics for my niece, who is off to college in August. I am ready to put on the borders.
I would love your Birch pattern and scraps. That quilt is on my bucket list!
What a wonderful opportunity to win a fabulous pile of scraps! Thanks so much for sharing:) I am WILD about scraps!! It's been a long time coming but I'm seeing light at the end of my Grandmothers Flower Garden tunnel - an EPP quilt top made with all vintage scraps.
I love the pattern and your version. I bought the pattern when you visited our guild this spring. I have just finished a challenge quilt for our guild.
We saw this at the quilt show and it's stunning in person! I'm currently working on a flying geese quilt. Otherwise known as a million little triangles quilt.
I bought this pattern a while ago, and I am really looking forward to making it some day. The project I'm closest to finishing is a throw quilt I'm making as a housewarming gift for a friend. I'm finally up to FMQ-ing it, my favorite part!
I love small scraps and use them a lot. I am close to finishing hand quilting a quilt for our bed. It is a pattern that I got out of an old Mary Ellen Hopkins book.
The piece I'm closest to finishing (at long last) is a restoration project, repairing an old applique quilt that has a pattern that looks like a grown-up version of Sunbonnet Sue - holding a parasol.
I found your blog because of this pattern. big fan! Hoping to finish up a metro rings quilt soon
Oh thanks for the lovely give away. I will finish my Sparrow Tracks quilt in the morning. It only needs the binding.
I almost have a Swoon top complete!
I am almost finished with my rainbow heart-themed quilt for the MQG of Orlando. Will be thrilled to get to send it to them. Thanks for the give away. (C underscore dragon at earthlink.net)
My closest finish is an equilateral baby quilt that has been waiting binding for too long. I have been distracted by my little one and new projects. Thank you for such a neat give away. I think your Birch Trees pattern would make a wonderful leaders and enders project!
What lovely fabrics to make your darling birches! I am close to finishing the hand stitching on Lori' Holt's bloom blocks. I have so enjoyed learning how to applique a new way. I enjoy your blog so much! Thanks for all of your inspiration to use scraps and see others projects.K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com
How neat! I am closest to finishing a quilt for my son. It's a twin size quilt made out of Carolyn Friedlander's Architextures line. I can't wait to finish it up, but this summer has been crazy busy!
What a fun and happy pattern! the project that I am closest to finishing... well, I do have the latest Bonnie Hunter Allietare quilt ready to quilt up, but I haven't figured out what I want to do yet. I am currently working on Robert Kaufman's pattern, Field Day using their 2016 color of the year ( yellow!). I love that one, so I think it may actually be finished before my currently basted quilt :)
I love this pattern and have been trying to find wiggle room in the ol' budget to get it. I am almost finished quilting my middle daughters new bed quilt. When each of my kids turn 8 I update their bedding from their toddler quilts that grandma made each of them.
I hardly have any scraps, or very few, because I just started quilting in November and am close to finishing only my third quilt--it is called Stars Over Iowa and was my first time sewing the traditional flying geese. Somewhere I came across your blog and Instagram and have been following your love of scraps! I hope I win!!
I'd love to be the lucky recipient of a bright birch starter kit! especially one you curated -- how lovely! I've followed your blog for years, and bought your lovely book. Seeing your posts always brightens my day (how fitting then, for me to make a bright birches quilt with your scraps?). Who knows? Maybe I'll be the lucky one!
I'm closest to completing a scrap vortex rainbow quilt. Rainbows are much on my mind and in my heart this summer.
Hi!! I love, love scraps!!!
The project I'm closest to completing is a patriotic quilt for an fundraiser auction to be held in 9 days! The fundraiser is for a Veterans Memorial to be erected in my tiny hometown. I have it all pieced. Just need to press, square up, quilt on my long-arm and bind. Yeah... I WILL get it done!!
Happy Quilting,
Emily
I am almost finished a baby quilt, just a few more lines of quilting and hand stitch the binding! Thank you for the contest!
I've wanted this pattern since you published it! I'm close to finishing a scrap quilt made up of 81 7" blocks that look like asterisks. It's about time! Thanks!
I'm finishing up a crazy nine patch baby quilt. This is a lovely pattern. I'd love this because i hate the process of cutting fabric. It definitely holds me back from doing as many quilts as i would like to do.
Binding on my scrapvvortex which I love. Paula in Ky
So inspired by your blog! Would love to win this! I'm a fairly new quilter, but I just finished a scrappy checkerboard quilt using fabrics from my little girl dress project, my Mom's scraps, some fabrics I inherited from her BFF, along with some apron scraps that were my Granny's. Quilted and blinded it myself. Feeling so accomplished! I'm glad for all the online tutorials. Currently working on a scrappy wonky star mini quilt.
I love little scraps, and your colors are always fantastic!
I just finished the top for a Rainbow Hearts quilt for Orlando.
Wish I could have a whole day to just sew away. How do the days get so busy? I have a couple of quilts that just need a backing figured out and then they could be on their way to the final finish. Your scrap projects are always lovely. Thanks for the chance to win. Janita
I'm hand-quilting a baby quilt. The shower is in 15 days. What, me worry? Whenever I see birch trees, I think of your work. I'm allergic to them so I think a quilt would fit the bill - thanks!
I enjoy working with small pieces, bits and pieces. I would love an infusion of different pieces than those I have been working with. I am working on a scrap nine-patch, To the Nines, made of 1-inch squares only.
I love this pattern!!! I am so close to finishing the BOM civil war quilt top for me and my husband! This giveaway would help cheer up the sewing table after all those dark colors! Than you!
Thank you for this giveaway! I love your birch tree quilt! Currently, I am working on a hand quilt using English paper piecing. I want to say I'm close to being done with it but it is taking much longer than I anticipated lol
wow - your great pattern AND fabric!!
I love scraps! And I've been admiring your birch trees pattern for quite some time.
I finished a quilt earlier this week, does that count? It was a Halloween-inspired simple quilt for Project Linus. Today's project is to make a label for a baby quilt that is otherwise finished; baby's dad is a coworker and returns to work on Tuesday, so I hope to gift it then. Beyond that, my closest finish is a top for the Orlando/Quilts for Pulse collection that just needs borders to be a completed top.
Such pretty scraps! Why don't mine look as pretty? Hmm, maybe the scraps are always cuter in someone else's collection? I am working on a granny square quilt. Blocks are made, sashing and bordering are my next step.
What could be better than a scrap infusion? I had a good finishing week because I found 2 baby quilts that just needed binding. Hooray, a double finish.
I'm just about to start an Irish chain in yellow and white as a surprise for my sister. I would love to win your giveaway.
I'm hand quilting a small quilt with big stitch right now. Trying something new in the background...we'll see. Thank you for the chance to win your wonderful pattern and fabrics!
Please, please, please pick me!! I've been wanting to make that quilt, but wasn't sure what scraps to use. Your give away kit is exactly what I need! Next up? Machine quilting a few quilts that are pin basted and ready to go!
what a cool opportunity - not sure how you are able to let go of scraps :)
Scraps are the happy leftovers of many fun projects! I'm working on my daughter's quilted computer cover - not using a pattern and needed a couple days to ponder how to proceed (probably should have used a pattern :)
Scraps are so wonderful! They sometimes make you be more creative and I like the challenge.
I'm working on a large four panel seasons quilt- one rainbow, waves, sunflowers, and sun.
I am working on a paper piecing quilt project, "Arcadia Avenue". It is our 2016 project for a paper piecing group I belong to. We won't be finishing it until the end of the year, but I am taking each block as a finish. Learning so much about paper piecing! I am also working on two wall hanging, all in scraps, some of which are left over from my first quilt five years ago. It feels so nice to be using up these bits and pieces. Looking forward to quilting them up and hanging them on my walls. Thanks for the contest. I have been eying this quilt pattern since you first showed it on your blog. Love, love, love it! Deanna H.
The quilt that I'm closest to finishing is orange DP9. It's sandwiched and basted but I've been stalled on quilting it because I know exactly how I want to quilt it but I'm worried I'll mess it up. I want to fmq dragonflies. I want it done by fall so I can use it, so I'm going to have to get brave!
Thanks so much for the giveaway and the chance to win. I have a US mailing address.
I am so so close to finishing a king size quilt top for my bed, but since I've had to go back to work full time, finding the time to finish the borders has been a challenge! I love your scraps so much! Thanks for the giveway chance. Have a great 4th, Amanda!
This is so fun that you are giving these away as I just took out my pattern for this project the day before and was pulling out scraps. I have a crazy fondness for scraps. My nearest project to completion is a modern quilt of color strips that I am getting ready to machine quilt. This will be the largest project that I have machine quilted myself and have hopes of entering it in the fair this year.
I love, love, love this quilt! I've been wanting to make it for ages and I'm hopeful that I can begin it once my daughter and her family move out into their new home and I can finally have my sewing room back.
I love scrappy projects! Right now I am working on Cat'itude.
What a sweet giveaway! A Bright Birch Tree is on my quilting 'wish list'. I've built up a great stash of solids, and I would adore a curated collection of your signature colors. I'm currently finishing up a Dia De Los Muertos-themed quilt for my sister that I've really enjoyed creating.
I'm close to finishing a quilt for my daughter. The name of the pattern is my daughter's name so I couldn't resist. Looking for a back to finish the quilt. It will be the second quilt I get to use my new to me mid arm quilting machine. The first one wasn't really good, but I got better as I went along.
Love your blog.
I would love to win this collection of small scraps and the pattern! This is one of my favorite patterns and just like you, I would love to complete a project that has been on my to do/wish list for a long time!
I love small scraps! The tinier the better!
I am almost through quilting a scrappy quilt from a pattern called Picnic. It is straight from the scrap pile. I have been spiral quilting it from your tutorial. I would love to win your birch tree pattern and the pile of happy scraps.
I am closest to finishing my #QuiltsForPulse. I just have to hand sew the binding to the back.
I love this quilt--so fun!
I wish I was close to finishing a quilt top! I've got several planned for Christmas that I need to get cracking on. My closest finish is a wall hanging for my sewing room that's been in my pile for months now.
I am trying finish up my final entries for the state fair. Hope to finish before the first of August. But that is cutting it close.lol. Thanks for the wonderful blog. I look forward to reading what you have been up to.
I am trying to finish up my entries for the state fair. I am cutting it pretty close since they need to be done by August. Thank you for the contest and your blog. I enjoy reading what you are doing and creating.
I have loved this quilt since I first saw it! Would love to make one for my niece who graduated high school next year. For finishes...not many but am hoping to finish a quilt for my son who is almost 3 months old.

I have a little over 20 WIPs right now, but the ones I'm focusing on first are 3 pretty identical baby quilts with sailboats.
I love your pattern and have wanted to set this up as my leaders and Enders project. To win this would be amazing.
Close to finishing "Vinnie Loves Maude" by EvaPaigeQuiltDesigns.
I'm closest to finishing a scrappy log cabin style heart medallion quilt I'm making up as I go along. I love the birch tree pattern!
So beautiful! I love scraps of all sizes, and appreciate the chance to win!
one of your scrappy bags with the store bought handles!
I'm currently working on a Wedding Quilt for September
I'm closest to finishing a 10" quilt for a swap. I used some bright Ricky Time hand dyed scraps. Just have spray baste & quilt it.
Thanks for the chance to win your cool pattern & scraps to go with it!
Scraps are the happy leftovers of many fun projects! I'm working on my daughter's quilted computer cover - not using a pattern and needed a couple days to ponder how to proceed (probably should have used a pattern :)
What a fun pattern. Just finishing a hexagon baby quilt.
Love this pattern and your little scraps, so colorful. I just finished a quilt for a nephew in navy and white fabrics that has red accents, done in a pattern similar to Bear Claw. Now I am starting one for his brother in black and silver gray which will be an Irish Chain. I'm also adding borders to some charity quilts and doing binding on a great nephews quilt. I usually Orkney on several quilts at a time.
I love scraps. I'm currently finishing up a patchwork pillow (using your tutorial!) made with a charm pack. It's for a friend who's going back to school.
i'm probably late to the game, but in case not...I love small scraps and would so like to do this quilt!!!
I love small scraps and have always admired your Birch Tree pattern, so happy for a chance to win. The project I'm closest to finishing is a baby quilt for a family friend, made completely from stash with a pieced backing and even pieced batting. The only thing left is the label. Thanks for this opportunity and for hosting such a fun blog.
I love scraps! Love this pattern too. I'm close to finishing a hexie table runner and 2016 Row By Row quilt.
Love those colors. My closest to finish are about six quilts. I've cut the batting to size I need. I've picked out the backing. Now to find the time to layer and "quilt as desired". Would love to do your pattern. It will look so fun with all those colors.
I love scraps! The project I'm closest to completing is a BOM quilt. I have two squares to complete. Scrappy border is ready to sew on.
I'm close to finishing a quilting project I started 27 years ago! I bought an old string quilt top at an estate sale, thinking one day I'll learn to quilt and I'll quilt it. Well that day has finally come (yes, 27 years later!) I bought the batting and backing just yesterday, and I'm going to finally give that poor quilt top a proper finishing.
Someone elses scraps are even more fun than one's on!! What a nice give away! I'm making 4 I Spy Quilts for my sweet sister-in-law's family......just about completed the second one. Have a Happy Fourth of July - Beth in AL
I have several pillows I'd like to get finished this week! These scraps are beautiful and so is the pattern!
Right now I'm trying to finish a quilt for my grandson's 12th birthday... It's the first quilt I've designed myself!
Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway! I've admired that quilt for so long now and would love to actually make it with all those yummy scraps!
I am close to finishing up a spider web quilt I started over a year ago but put it aside to pursue other projects...oh the UFO's that accumulate! But, all I have to do is put the backing pieces together, and it's off to the longarmer! Yay!! Great giveaway - Thank You! LynneinMN. lmhoov68@gmail.com
I just finished a rail fence quilt last night and washed it this morning.. I began cutting fabric for a new quilt but should probably finish some ufo's but I can't help myself!
I'm so close to finishing my nephew's quilt. He's 6 months now, so I'm behind schedule. Just need to baste and quilt it.
I'm closest to finishing a pink and white +sign or Swiss quilt. All the pink fabric is from my very large pink scrap box. Thanks for asking and thanks for the give away chance.

I need to stitch the binding down on two mini quilts. I thought I'd have road trip time to work on them but it turned out we had to take two cars at different times and Ibended up driving. Looking forward to that stitching when I return home.
I love the idea of using small scraps. Isn't that how piecing quilts started? Using what we have on hand to make something. This particular pattern uses small pieces so well. I love the concept and the name.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to enter this contest.
i have been wanting to make tis quilt for my daughter for year.
I live in SF,CA now and always associate birch trees with home in MA. i have been reading about postage stamp quilt techniques and would love to make this birch
tree pattern. I am hoping to finish a hst baby quilt before baby comes!
I've got 3 small quilts for "Quilts for Kids" ready for basting & quilting...everything else is in the beginning phase (which is a fun phase to be in too).
I love scraps!! I sew them together to make 18" x 24" fabric panels and then cut out my shapes: triangles or squares or appliqué and Sew them just like regular yardage!!! So much fun!
I grew up in MA where white birch is very common. I always think of home when I see birches. I am hoping to finish hst baby quilt. I have been reading about different techniques for postage stamp quilts and would love to try it with pattern.
I have two quilts that are pin basted and waiting to be quilted-and have been waiting for months and months!
Tomorrow morning, I am picking up another quilt from my longarmer friend so I'll just need to trim/bind that one. It will be nice to have some finishes!
Thanks for the chance to win your pattern and scraps.

I am close to finishing an easy jelly roll race baby quilt. I have admired that birch tree pattern for a while.
I have always loved your birch tree pattern!
I just need to quilt and bind a twin sized quilt I made to match my daughters room. Super simple modern quilt pattern ala Valori Wells.
I'm probably too late, but I had to comment when I realized that the birch quilt was your pattern. It's been pinned on my to do queue for a while now as one for ME! Birch trees are my favorite! They remind me of growing up in Minnesota and I just saw that you live there! Such a small world!
I am closest to finishing up a beach house quilt for my 5 year old daughter. She has patiently waited for me to quilt and bind it. She is itching for a finish too! She is also waiting for me to finish her Anna dress too. Hope I complete that while she still fits into it!
I love this pattern and I certainly love scraps! I am currently trying to finish a non-quilt project- new patio furniture cushions as my momld ones were indeed very sad looking.
I adore tiny scraps and this pattern has been on my must do list for a long time. I'm halfway done with my scrap vortex. It's going to be huge.
I've had to spend most of the last year just thinking about quilting and occasionally admiring other people's finishes while I complete my BSN but I've got three quilts just waiting for borders which is the closest any of my UFOs are to completion.
I would love this! I prefer 1 1/2" squares and am close to finishing a 2 1/2" many trips around the world. I have a quilt loaded on the frame and just need to find the time to quilt it.
I love scrappy quilts! Your scraps are wonderful. I have been working on scrappy placemats using your scrap vortex pattern.
I'm close.to finishing PJs for my daughters. With a new baby in the house I've been focusing on small projects
Oh, so many UFO's! I think I am closest to finishing my Picket Fence quilt, which I enlarged of course, so It is taking a bit longer but will be worth it. Thanks for sharing!
