Happy Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day! I am teaming up with Jane, owner of Quilter’s Way quilt shop, to bring you a very beautiful bundle of fabrics and a quilting pattern to go with it.
Quilter’s Way carries quilting fabrics, both paper and pdf download patterns, fabric bundles, and kits. Check out the Christmas fabric kit that goes with my “Jewel Box” Quilt pattern, Here.
If you are a new (or old) visitor to Color Girl Quilts, welcome! I have been quilting for about 14 years and writing my own patterns for about a year and a half. I like mixing fabrics, prints, and using lots of color! Visit my pattern shop or Craftsy. You can see quilting patterns I have published in magazines, Here, or follow my current monthly quilt-along: Super Simple Sampler.
For the giveaway today, Jane and I are offering a starter kit of nine fat eights of Cotton Couture Solids (shown in top photo) and a copy of my Dutch Windmill pattern. Jane used the fabrics in the bundle to make her own version of the Dutch Windmill baby quilt shown above. She added the charm squares of print from Amy Butler’s fabric “Glow”.
**A complete kit to make the quilt like the one above is available to purchase Here, and includes all fabric for top and binding and the pattern**
Thanks for stopping by! to enter for a chance to win the fabric and pattern bundle, leave a comment on this post. Please tell me: in 2015, what new quilting, sewing, or crafty skill would you like to learn?

Such a beautiful quilt. I love how the middle fabrics add a special touch! I am looking forward to learn crazy quilting in 2015.
It’s not a new skill but I would like to improve my FMQ!
Beautiful colours! I’m becoming more and more a fan of solids than I ever thought possible.
For 2015, I’m planning on learning how to use a long-arm at my LQS, and will be attending my first ever quilting retreat.
I’don’t love to learn to FINISH what I start!
I would like to make a lined garment since I’ve never liked anything before.
I would like to not be terrified of appliqué! Thanks for the chance to win such lovely fabrics and pattern.
2015 will hopefully be the year I expand my machine applique skills.
Besides the usual goals of finishing my many projects and improving my free motion skills, I’d like to focus on some hand work
I would like to learn paper peicing. Thanks for the chance to win! vickise at gmail dot com
Free motion quilting is my goal.
In 2015 I would love to learn and practice improv piecing.
This bundle is lovely! Thanks for the giveaway. This year I will try paper piecing…there are so many amazing patterns available!
I would love to learn how to sew clothing for myself!
2015 will be my year of STRINGS. I have tons of scrap strings that have been building up for at least three years. I have not made a string quilt yet. I will be following Bonnie Hunter’s book, String Fling, to help get them under control. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d like to learn to make clothes.
In 2015, I’m going to work on foundation paper piecing.
I’m looking forward to learning how to machine quilt.
I would like to learn free motion quilting and knitting.
I was to work on curves seams and free motion quilting. I’ve got high hopes for 2015!
What new skill would I like to learn in 2015? That is a great question. Probably more fearlessness in quilting.
The best skill would be to spend less time looking at lovely quilting blogs …. but instead to get on and make more of my own!
Machine sewing
I’ve done some quilt piecing, but I’d love to improve my machine quilting skills.
I know basically how to free motion quilt but I would like to improve that skill a lot in 2015. Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d like to up my free motion game from minimally competent to decent.
I just finished making my first quilt EVER — a throw quilt for our couch. Next up is a queen-sized quilt for our bed. I’d like to learn to sew on binding without it looking all janky on the back 🙂 Thanks for the great giveaway!
In 2015 I would like to learn appliqué, curved piecing, better FMQ skills….oh, so much!
I always channel stitch my quilts – I like the look of it but I want to try free motion quilting again. Maybe this time I’ll get it.
I really like Couture solids – thank you for such a nice giveaway. I would like to learn hand quilting in 2015.
Great pattern! I love the quilting on your version. I’d just like to get more done this year. I’ve fallen off the wagon a little bit, so I’d definitely just like to get a few more projects started and a few more finished. If I pick up a new skill – more’s the better 🙂 Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I love the colors in this quilt and the pattern looks so approachable. Quilters Way is one of the local shops I frequent and they are so very helpful.
For 2015 my new quilting skill will be finishing the projects I start in a reasonable amount of time! There is so much I need to learn about this craft but for now accuracy with some efficiency is on my list.
Curves! I have seen so many great quilts that use curves lately, and I’m determined that that will be on my list to try very soon! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have been looking at your patterns and think I need to make one!
I would like to become more proficient with my drum carder in the coming year.
I’d love to learn about pattern drafting. Thanks!
Fun giveaway pack! In 2015 I am *going* to get over myself and learn how to do thread painting so I can finish my McKenna Ryan projects that have been fused for literally years now. ;D
I am a very new quilter, so I want to work on my free-motion skills.
I want to learn needle turned applique
I would like to learn how to wind a warp for my loom. (I already know lots about quiltmaking.)
Hand quilting!!
I really need to gain confidence in machine quilting and FMQ!
What a lovely bundle of fabrics! I am looking forward to working with some wool fabrics this year 🙂
Lovely quilt! Thanks for the chance to win.
I would like to learn to quilt spirals. Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
I would love to learn more about making fabric and colour combinations.
I will conquer the Y Seam!
In the next year, I’d like to work on designing my own quilt and bag patterns.
I really want to learn how to do FMQ.
There isn’t anything new that I want to learn right now but I definitely want to work on the fit of the clothing items I’ve been making 🙂
Next year I want to learn to FMQ on my home machine. Straight line quilting is great but sometimes you need more!
