This is my 500th post, so I'm going to give away this set of 5 fat quarters of Katie Jump Rope fabric. Leave me a comment and I will draw a name to determine a winner. Like last time, leave me your name, where you are from, what your favorite work in progress project is. (Because I am assuming you all have a plethora of WIP's, like me.) :)
Here's an example: My name is AmandaJean and I live in Wisconsin. My favorite WIP is my son's orange and grey quilt. I love it not only because it is coming together nicely, but because he is eagerly awaiting it's finish. He asks me EVERY day if it is done yet. Love that.
Also, I picked a name from all the comments from Small Projects Week, and Katie K, you are my winner. You will receive a half yard of my favorite red polka dot fabric. Thanks to all of you who commented.
Have a great Monday!
edit: the contest is now closed.

I didn't realize I was one of so many who read your blog! I'm Katie from Denver, Co. I try to keep my WIPs to a minimum, but right now my favourite is the 85" by 85" quilt I'm making. I have the front pieced together and I'm using a vintage sheet on the back. All I need is batting. The best part is, the batting is the only thing I had to purchase. Everything else was in my stash that I've been working hard on making smaller. Obviously, at some time I purchased all that fabric, but still, a lot of it was leftovers from other projects, etc! Yay for me!
I'm Erin from Colorado. I only have 2 right now, but my favorite WIP is the Admit One baby quilt by American Jane. I made 2 tops: one went to my cousin for her baby, and the other remains unfinished since we're not sure who to give it to! This pattern can be customized with the baby's name on it. http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=AJP198
Hi, my name is Nicole and I'm from New York. I am currently working on a wedding quilt as a gift for a friend. I'm making a variation of Roman Stripes, using a jelly roll from the "Nouveau" collection by Moda. The fabrics are intricate, cheerful and beautiful! Thanks for organizing the giveaway!
My name is Jennifer and I live in central Florida. My favorite WIP is the lap quilt I'm working on now for my yet-to-be born niece. I'm finally going to be an aunt! It's the scrappy circles pattern from www.carolinapatchworks.etsy.com - I love that it got me out of my symmetry. It's also the first quilt that I'm free motion quilting on my own. I figure the baby won't care if it's not perfect. :-)
My name is Sandy and I live in WV. I've started a "secret" quilt for DH and hope to be finished by Christmas. Yes that's a long time away but you know how life goes sometimes.
Congratulations!
Thanks for this opportunity, I love seeing your works in progress.
My name is Sam and I am from Canberra, Australia. My fave work in progress is a quilt using the scraps from another WIP. I love the first project too but the little scrap quilt i am making up as i go along is the fave!
thanks
My name is Maggie and I live in Elgin, IL. My favorite WIP is my doggy quilt. Easy squares. I love it because it reminds me of my little one, Buddy. maggienstamps@comcast.net
I'm Katie, from California. My favorite WIP is a baby quilt using charm squares - alternating rows of coins and four patches on point. I saw a picture and am trying to "reverse engineer" - so far, so good - next I get to see if I figured the dimensions of my side setting triangles correctly!
I'm Melissa from Pennsylvania. My fav WIP right now are some long, drawstring skirts I'm making for a friend who is doing a teaching exchange in Uganda this summer. Comfy, practical, and unoffensive!
I'm Kris from Michigan. My favorite WIP are some purses made from MARY E fabric. I am hoping to get them finished and have a giveaway soon.
Hi, my name is Rhonda and I am from Saskatchewan, Canada. My favorite work in progress is the snowball quilt I am making for the spare bedroom. It is all out of DH's old dress shirts and I just feel surrounded by his smell when I am working on it ... ahhhh

I'm Ingrid and I live in Jacksonville, FL. My favorite project is my crazy 9 patch quilt. It's only my second quilt and I completely winged the pattern. I love it because the quilt top and sandwich are done and it came out 10 time better than I hoped it would. All I have to do is quilt and bind it and it will be done.
My name is Sarah and I live in Indiana. I am currently working on a huge Queen-size quilt for my bed. Each block has been worked on by someone in the Quilting Bee I'm in (A Notion or Two) and I'm tickled pink about how each block has come out. I can't wait to finish piecing it together!
My name is Michelle and I'm from New Hampshire. I'm working on a quilt for my mom. It is a combination birthday/Mother's Day gift and I let her pick out the fabric, which is beautiful. I hope it turns out well!!
My name is Melinda, and I'm from Ferndale, Washington. My favorite WIP is a collaboration quilt with my mom. It's a pickly dish quilt, with appliqued flowers. I'm doing the piecing, she's doing the applique. It'll be a great quilt that I'll treasure always.

My first quilt will be my mom. The second one which is a little bigger will send to my mother in law. The best part of this two quilts is 'it's telling my folks in Thailand that she doesn't take a day nap' 'she has something to do'.

Hi Im Alinta from Perth, Australia and my favorite work in progress is a monkey quilt for my son. I started it a year ago when sock monkey first came around and was big but since then it has sat in my sewing corner waiting to be quilted. Im not sure it will ever get finished as my son is so car mad still all his quilts have been to that theme!! Love Denise Schmidt fabrics, i have been traipsing the net recently buying the last dregs of jump rope. It seems to be disapearing!!
Congrats on 500! Wow! I'm Aunt Spicy from Virginia and am still trying to finish 14 doll blankets for some adopted nieces! I already finished 14 that I got off for Christmas gifts (those made it to real nieces and my nieces-in-law)!

Hi my name is Courtney from NC. My favorite WIP is a T-Shirt quilt I am making for a sorority girl friend. It is turning out very nicely.
Congrats on your 500th post! My name is Michelle and I'm currently from the Boston area. It's hard to remember all my WIPs but I have a "fish" quilt that might be my current fav.

So many....hard to choose!

Hello,
My name is Holley and I'm from the Cleveland, Ohio metro area.
My favorite wip is the small blanket that I'm making for my son. It has a preprinted panel with a world map and animals on it. I did a pieced back to make the batting big enough for the front panel and it is cute. The binding was made with zebra stripes and cheetah spot fabrics. He's two and was really excited to see the animals.

Please tell me you use the computer program to pick your winner! Draw out of a hat? You just posted this today and I'm 575!
I'm Tara and I live in Fort collins, CO. My favorite WIP is my 30s repro quilt with handkerchief "blocks" Each border block is a different pattern so I'm learning a ton and I love the fabrics! It's intended to be queen size, so it's moving fairly slowly and some blocks need to be made twice(since I mess them up!). This just becomes a great pieced back! So fun!
My name is Pat McGuire. I'm from Crescent City, CA. I'm working on a kilt, not a quilt, for my grandson. It is a challenge because the directions were written by a man. No good sewing terms. But I shall persevere! I love your blog. It's a first for me. I'm an old lady and this is all new.
My name is Leslie and I am a Michigander! My favorite work in progress is my black and white quilt that will one day be for our adopted child. I started it when we started the process of adopting.
My name is January and I live in Sacrameto, CA. My favorite WIP is whichever one I'm working on at the moment! Right now it's a black and hot pink flannel baby quilt. CA is suffering through a heat wave at the moment, though, so it's probably my hottest and LEAST favorite WIP today. I'm the 578th comment, so if I actually win this it will affirm my faith in "random generator." :)
My name is Jodi, and I live in Minnesota. M favoite WIP is a 'Cars' quilt that I'm working on for my nephew. I made him pillow cases for Christmas and my sister has to sneak them into the laundry. Ipaper peiced the corners of the border to look like car tires. It's just so darn cute.

My name is Jackie and I live in Florida. My favorite WIP is my current project - a sampler quilt from Egg Money Quilts. It's my favorite because I'm learning so many new techniques.
