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.

Congrats on your 500th post!!! I'm Sue from Minnesota (we're almost neighbors!). I have far too many WIPs, but my favorite is probably whatever I'm working on, which is my first original design. It's for a fabric challenge at the MN Quilt Show in July. Ricky Tims batik-like fabrics. Large motifs, very geometric looking.
My name is Michelle and I hail from Montana. My favorite WIP is a box of felt french fries to go with other felt foods because felt food is fun!
Hi I'm Janey from New York and my favorite WIP is a quilt I started at a pj sew in. I'm ready to layer and quilt it and can't wait to see how it all comes together. I had purchased the fabric last summer while on vacation in Maine so it always makes me think of that.
Hello, I'm Shelly from Iowa. My fav WIP is my son's southwest quilt. I love the kokopelli batik fabric I am using for it. Also it will give him a quilt so maybe he will let me have my Irish Chain quilt back! ;-)

Thanks for all of your wonderful inspiration - it all started for me with a google search for free-motion quilting, and I blame you for my quilt blog addiction! ;)
My name is Martha, I am an American living in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and I'm excited to start my baby zigzag quilt from the Purl Bee with white Kona cotton and stripes of brown and green.

I also am in love with the stacked coin baby quilt I just finished based on your tutorial...it's a gift for my BF's newest baby girl...also made me jealous I'm NOT having a girl! Thanks for you inspiration...love your blog and all your beautiful projects!

I'm Mindy from TN. My only quilt project (5+ years in the making) is a hand-quilted sampler quilt for my sister. In those five years I moved twice, changed jobs twice, graduated from undergrad, got married, bought a house, graduated from grad school & had a child. Now that life has settled more I'm hoping to get rolling on making more quilts so I would love to be able to put that fabric to use.
Just discovered your blog & am loving all the quilting/sewing inspiration!

Hi Amanda Jean. Congratulations on 500 great posts. I've been with you since the start and enjoyed every one. Here's to 500 more. My name is Amy and I'm from NYC. I live upstate NY now. My favorite WIP is knitted - it's a complicated Aran style pattern that my mother started for my father in the 70's. She never finished it (although it's not far off) and recently gave it to me. It came in a beautiful knitting bag along with needles yarn and a yellowed pattern covered with notes in my mother's handwriting. It'll take some doing but I think I can pick up where she left off and get it done - it'll never fit my dad now but I think it may soon fit one of my boys.
My name is Dayna and I live in Wisconsin. My favorite WIP is quilt being done with brocades and suiting fabrics. I love it because it is made from such diverse fabrics but they work so well together.
Hi AmandaJean, what a great group of fabric. I'm Thuy from Lorton, VA. My favorite WIP is my son's CARS quilt. It's cut and ready to piece two years ago. And he asks me everyday if I've started yet, which I will this week for sure. :-)

Happy 500! You are so great. I'm Jessica from Missouri. WIP is my yellow hand quilted hexagon quilt. (Like My Grandmother's flower garden, minus the flowers. Just yellow.) It will probably take me the rest of the year. Who knew hand quilting would be so soothing?
My name is Rossie and I live in Michigan. My favorite WIP is my "low-volume" quilt because I'm so inspired by Malka (Stitch in Dye) and love playing with fabrics in a new way!

Wow! congrats on 500 posts! I am Christina from Ontario, Canada. My favorite WIP right now is a nap time quilt i designed for my dad. It is called "A Herd of Turtles in a Mudstorm" which is what my dad always said when we left the house as kids, "And there off! Like a herd of turtles in a mudstorm!" The turtles are made from drunkard's path blocks in patterned fabric of various shades of beige, green, blue and orange, with a brown and purple batic fabric for the "mud". He is very excited about it, no one has made something specifically for him for a long time.
I am Kelly from Irvine Ca. I just had a baby 10 days ago so I finished up all of my WIP except the diaper bag I am working on for myself. Slowly but surely. . .
I'm Annalee from Reno, Nevada. I'm working on a quilt for my bed. I haven't gotten anything accomplished on it for a couple of weeks because I'm in the process of moving into a new house, but it will be the first project that I pull out once I get my sewing stuff set up in my new home.
My name is Brooke, I live in Utah, and my favorite work in progress is a quilt I am helping my 12 year old daughter make.
Hi! My name is Betty. I live in San Diego, CA... at least until next week, then I'll living in San Antonio, TX (my hometown). Since we're moving, I don't really have too many WIPs... just a few Swing, Swing Smocks for my not-yet-born niece (my sister is having her today). I have a lot of WIPs in my head tho... a baby quilt, a little sundress, booties, and maybe a hooter hider for Momma. :)
My name is Sarah S. and I'm from Knoxville, TN. My favorite WIP is a lap quilt thank you gift for my momma. It has lots of hand embroidery on it (that I'm still working on).
I also have my first coin quilt in the works that I'm really digging.
I'm Jen (my name comes up as JenT - that's my first name and initial of my last name). I'm from east TN. You're right, I have several WIP. I don't know if I have a favorite. I like them all pretty much. Although I must say I prefer the actual sewing to the cutting out. I try to cut out a lot all at once, then when I have more spare time, sew up what I have cut out. Currently I have several jumpers to make. I have most of the ones for my 4 year old daughter cut out. I have tons of material for more projects. I have quilts to make, jumpers to make, doll dresses to make...and anything else that comes up. lol Now I just need the time!
Hi, my name is Sara. I live in Huntsville, Arkansas, and my favorits WIP is a whirly giggle made from charisma. It is going to be so lovely.
Howdy! I'm Meg. I'm from Pennsylvania but live in Raleigh, NC now. My favorite WIP has not yet been started. I bought the fabric and pattern this weekend to make a couple tops for myself. It will be the most complicated sewing project to date. Even if it turns out badly, I'll still be proud of getting up the courage to sew it. This is completely new to me.
For an actual WIP, it's a February baby sweater I'm knitting for my cousin's new baby girl. It's turning out really cute. It's also important that I make this for her because our parents do not get along at all. I want her to know that we are still family, even if our moms are a little nuts.
Congrats on 500. My name is Vicki and I'm in Kansas. My favorite WIP right now is a sawtooth star quilt from House fabrics for my SIL, for Christmas. Like the one Elizabeth (oh fransson) did for a Sew Mama Sew tute.
My name is Kit, I'm from Ontario, Canada, and my current favourite WIP is another monotone quilt - this one in teal blue silks, sort of shibori inspired that I'm making on commission. Very exciting!
Wow 500!! COngrats! My name is Natalie, and I'm from Missouri. My current WIP is a zig zag (your pattern) quilt that I am making for my son...he is very excited about it! Thanks for the chance to win those fabulous fabrics!
Happy Monday AmandaJean!
This is Peggie from Maine. I have been following your blog for about a year now and I have to tell you that you have been such a wonderful inspiration for me. I am just learning to quilt, but you have given me the confidence to just do as I feel! I thank you for that!!!
I am currently making baby quilts to donate to my local hospital. It feels so rewarding to know that something my hands have created will touch the new lives of others.
Hi! This is Lily from Utah. My favorite WIP is a baby quilt for my brother and sister-in-law who have been trying for a baby for a long time, so this is a special baby. I love Katie Jump Rope!
I'm Andrea, I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta and my favourite work in progress is my blue and brown happy hour quilt I did in batiks. I haven't finished it because I originally bought oodles of a backing for it, that I don't like anymore. And I can't find a good match for it yet!
Holy moly on post # 500!! Way to go AmandaJean! Keep them coming...you keep me inspired everyday!
Congrats on the 500th post!
My name is Kristy. I'm from Minnesota, currently residing in Italy with my US military husband. My favorite work in progress is the Lush lap quilt I'm making for my husband completely by hand. It's nearly all pieced together. This is my first all-by-hand project and it's really made me appreciate both the process of hand piecing AND the ease of using a machine (on good days).
I am Angela from West Virginia. My favorite WIP is a scalloped baby quilt for my new nephew. The pattern came from Amy Karol's bend the rules sewing book. Although the first draft is always challenging, it looks like it will turn out great! It has primary colors with an yellow applique star. I hope he likes it!
I am Lynn from Massachusetts. My favorite wip is a pink and purple applique butterfly quilt and also the quilt I am helping my 12 yr old ds make! I love your site!
Hi, I'm Susan from Cincinnati. My favorite WIP is actually something I'm making for myself (all my projects somehow turn into gifts). Its a purse/bag that gets some attention every once in a while.
I'm Lisa from Central Illinois and I'm working on a quilt with a huge applique and embroidered center square, a floral design that replicates the motif from one of the prints in the bordering patchwork!
My name is Jeanne and I'm from NE. My favorite wip is a red, white, and blue floral quilt that I am hand-quilting. It is my favorite because it is coming along better (and quicker!) than I thought it would. :)
Hi! Love your blog. Great giveaway!
I am currently working on a disappearing nine patch in blues, browns and greens. It is a wedding present for a friend.
I'm Erica. My husband is in the Air Force and are currently stationed in Biloxi, MS, but will be moving to Japan in a month and half!
My favorite WIP is actually the vintage crochet blanket you showed a couple of months ago. I loved yours so much that I had to start one of my own. I think it might be a 2 year project for me as well, but I'm working on it. In fact, I just picked it back up again this weekend.
I'm Amy and I live in Arkansas. My current favorite WIP is a zig zag quilt (using your no triangle tutorial) to use as a beach blanket. We are going to the beach next month, so I only have four weeks to finish it. I have all my prints cut, but I'm cutting my solid still, so I've still got a ways to go. Wish me luck!
Wow...500 posts! Congrats!
My name is Jen and I am from Wisconsin. My favorite work-in-progress is a stuffed animal made from my own pattern. I'm still tweaking the pattern, so it's taking a little longer than normal...but I'm excited about it.

I'm Sara and I live in NE Ohio.
My favorite WIP right now is my batik Thangles BOM. I love batiks and this one is lots of different batiks and black stars. I have all the inner blocks made, just have to do the outer block and setting blocks.
Hi I am Jackie and live in CT. I am currently working on a Judy Niemeyer paper pieced quilt. I just love it because I find paper piecing very calming. I am also working on a Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt doing English paper piecing.
My name is Amy and I live in Mountain View, CA. Unfinished projects make me a little crazy, so I have just two right now -- a queen-sized quilt that is ready to be quilted. It's the Love Beads pattern from The Modern Quilt Workshop and is for my spare room. But my favorite is a baby quilt using drunkard's path templates to make circles that I am hand quilting. I hope I get it done before the baby gets here!
Hello, I am Vickie Fitzsimmons from Lehi, Utah.

My name is Jeanine. I'm from NJ. My favorite WIP is the Chinese Lantern quilt. It started out as a project in my guild's workshop. I had planned on only doing 9 blocks. Now I have 12 blocks. I'm aiming for a total of 16 which may become 20! LOL.

My name is Kathy and I am in Havre de Grace, MD. My favorite work in progress is a quilt for my nephew - it was a free pattern - city lights or something similar to that.

I am Alissa from Northern Minnesota. My favorite WIP is a quilt I started for my daughter 3 YEARS AGO! I finally have the courage to finish it: The top has been done for 2 years, but I had no idea how to finish it. It is a surprise and I know she is going to absolutely love it.

Hi. My name is Kerry-Lea and I live in Nebraska. My favorite WIP is a twin size quilt for my 3 year old daughter. I was able to get the blocks pieced into strips at a recent quilting retreat, and just found my border fabric, and eagerly awaiting some time to put it all together. I love it because it is so soft and girly, and b/c it means I will finally be finished the last of my 5 kids' quilts!! And the next one is mine.

My name is Jocelyn and I live in Florida. My fav WIP is my Australian quilt, made from a pattern in the Australian magazine. If I ever get it finished it will be beautiful. I love the colors and the challenge it pressed on me. I don't send out to long arm quilters, but this one may warrant it. We'll see :-)
Thanks for the giveaway, and as always your super creative blogs!
My name is Michelle and I live in Alaska. My favorite WIP is a quilt I'm making for my mom for Mother's Day. I'm using fabric scraps from my grandma that she never got to use before she died. It's great because most all the fabrics my mom remembers what her mom made from it; Easter dresses, shirts, jumpers, etc. Everything but the small hexagons is white (inspiration from you actually) and I'm designing it myself which I'm loving. It's even more fun because it's a surprise!
Hello! My name is Joyce. I live in Calilfornia! My favorite WIP is a quilt top that I am so close to finishing made mostly out of Sandi Henderson's Farmers Market. Enjoy your week!
My name is Jennifer and I'm from Georgia. The only "real" WIP that I have is a wonky log cabin quilt for my little girl's big bed. I don't know when she will get her big bed, but it will have to wait for the quilt to be finished! :)
Hi!! I'm Nici and I am currently living on Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts, soon to be living in Cheyenne, WY. My favorite WIP is a Patriotic table topper/runner. I am using scraps from my first quilt to make it. I love all things red, white and blue!!

I'm Angee from Idaho. Oh How I love Katie Jump Rope!!! I am currently working on my very first quilt! I joined a quilting class. I am so excited to finish so I can make the modern ones I love so much.
Hi! I'm Jenni from Texas! My favorite WIP project is my baby boy's bedroom. I made his crib bedding(something I've never done before) and decorated but as he grows and toddles and changes, I am constantly thinking of changes, improvements, and modifications I can make to make his room even more fun. Right now, I'm thinking of adding some fun embelishments to the quilt I made him(my first quilt), like some little leaves, ants, and caterpillers.
I'm Whitney from VA. My favorite WIP (I'm new to sewing and already I have so many WIPs!) is a mother's day pillow I'm making for both moms from my son.

Amazing give away for a tremendous accomplishment. So many helpful inspiring posts; thanks!
My name is Emily, I live in California (but I am from Oregon) :)
My favorite LONG time WIP is a large quilt that I have been learning to quilt on. My stages of learning are very obvious when looking at it, but that's part of why I like it. Also, I started it with my husband in mind before he even liked me. So it's also sentimental.
This is Tina and I am from Toronto, Ontario. My favourite WIP is a mushroom quilted pillow case! It's super cute but since I am hand quilting it, it is also taking forever.
Congrats on 500!
my name is Sara from New York. my only quilting WIP is the beginnings of a stacked-coin-ish quilt that i've cut out scraps for. i'm a very slow quilter (and have only made 2 so far) so who knows how long it will take me to finish.
Aloha!
I'm Karen, from Hawaii. I have a beautiful colorwheel quilt that only needs binding. it's been done and quilted for months..... shame on me. It's gorgeous.
This is Holly from Chicago. my favorite WIP is a baby quilt I'm making for my baby due in September. After making several baby quilts for others, it's fun to be making one for my own little one!
Wow! 500 already?!? My name is Shanna and I am from North Carolina. Right now my favorite WIP is my Pack Your Bags quilt top...my husband gave me that jelly roll for my birthday because I have always wanted to go to Europe someday! Right now it is just a quilt top, but I do have the backing fabric ready to be put together!
Congratulations on your 500th post! You are such an inspiration--wish I could be as productive as you are! My name is Linda and I'm from Washington. My current favorite WIP is a log cabin-style quilt.
My name is Anne and I live in Huntsville, AL My favorite WIP is a queen-sized black and white blooming nine-patch that is done except for the quilting and binding.
My name is Ruth and I am from Minnesota. My fav WIP is a center medallion block that I am doing using needleturn applique. It is for a round robin that I joined and I love the fabrics I am using and the design.

I'm Dianna and I am in the UK. My favourite WIP at the moment is my first ever quilt. I'm making it for my daughter's bedroom, which I plan to decorate in the summer so it is a real 'little girl's room'. I'm hoping the quilt will finish it off perfectly.

I'm Lee from Michigan. My favorite WIP is a shirt dress (Butterick 5315) using a really pretty brown from the Twiggy line by Sanae. I haven't been able to spend nearly enough time with with it so it is taking a very long time.

I'm so eager to finish it! :D
Hi! I'm Julie in WA, and my favorite WIP has not been started yet! I have a layer cake of "Harmony" by Moda's Jan Patek just waiting to be made into a basket quilt.

my name is jennifer and i'm from texas. since i'm participating in the "spring to finish challenge" my current project list is getting smaller...until i add more...:) my favorite work in progress is probably the illustration of some cymbidium orchids that i started months and months ago because it's the first in a series that was inspired by a valentine delivery from my now-hubby. then, it's a baby quilt i'm finishing since it's just that darn cute!
Hello!
This is Jessica from Arizona. My current WIP is your ragged squares quilt:) I love the quilt and I'm a beginner. I have some really great moda fabric that I love. Navy and lime are the colors, and the prints are from flowers and swirls to damask and dots. I'm so excited to see the finished product and snuggle up in it when I'm done. Thank you for sharing all your work and inspiring me to become a quilter!
Oooh, how exciting! I'm Debra from Minnesota, I'm working on a baby quilt for my yet to be born (anyday) nephew. I'm using the white Alexander Henry spotted owl fabric with lots of woodgrain mixed in which will make it very boyish and a brown minky back. It's exciting since it's only my 3rd quilt and I can't wait for my little sister to have her baby!
My current WIP is a twin sized bed quilt for a grandaughter...the give away fabrics are happy!
hugs,

Emily from Utah, working on another surprise quilt. This one is for my husband. A quilt I promised him way back in college in the colors of his alma mater. Its only been 10 years, but I think this year will be the year it finally gets done. He's going to love it!

My name is Jane and I live in Wisconsin. My favorite WIP is the Dear Jane quilt I've started. I love it not only because I feel attached to Jane herself and all the other "Janes" out there making this quilt, but because I do all my hand-piecing in the evening and it is my favorite time of day to sit in my chair and watch a little TV and stitch to my heart's content.

Hi I'm Anita from the San Francisco bay area. Congrats on your 500th post! Your blog is so inspirational, thank you! I'm working on several projects but I think my current favorite is the quilt kit that I bought from a local quilt shop. It is from the Sew Pretty Homestyle book. I just picked up fabric (on sale!) for the back of this quilt. I'm going to try hand quilting on this quilt. It will be first and hopefully not last hand quilting project.
