Giveaway!!

I've been continuing to work on the new quilt and realize it needs a name!!  So I thought, maybe I'll leave it up to you for suggestions?  The pattern is called  Rectangles and Strips.  The links to the original can be found in the previous post.  The fabric is Oasis by 3 Sisters for Moda.  Post your suggestion in the comments, and the best one will get:  a collection of hand made cards OR a baked dessert (if you live locally or want to travel to my house to pick it up!!)  I'll pick my favourite on Friday July 13th (will that be your lucky day???)  That gives you a little more than a week to come up with a creative quilt name!!
the unnamed quilt, layed out on the family room floor!
I have all the pieces cut, and all the strips made.  I need to make 1 1/2 inch white strips to separate each of the rows.  This quilt is going to be HUGE!!  I'm thinking a King size!  That will come in handy because I seriously think we need to get a King size bed.  Puppy is starting to take more room than he should, as he is stretching out, and Sweetie has grown accustomed to bigger beds after his 3 week stay in a luxury resort in Barbados (it was work...  yeah, we all wish we had his job!!)  I'm finding myself curled up on my pillow, or clinging to the edge of the mattress most nights.  Lately, I've given up and gone to cuddle up to the Vanilla Cake quilt in Cookie's room (aka the SPARE room).  

I hope to get some strips cut tonight, and maybe start sewing it up!  We have a guest puppy coming to Camp Kirchner for 2 weeks though, starting tonight. That might impede production.  Maybe I'll have to go back to baking and cooking while the guest puppy is here.  I need to pick this up and put it somewhere until I can piece it together, because I am still not ironing.  I have to wait until the quilt top is complete... remember, I'm trying out this new technique!  So far, I like it!

Can't wait to read your quilt names!!

  3. okay--so I will give a name. I feel shy though since I did not really know people name their quilts. How about "Primrose Sunset". Or is it supposed to be a people-ish name? How about Bill? Harry? Hmmm.. . I think I would go with the fe first one!

  4. How about Summer Oasis as a nod to the fabric? Sorry, a whole week and that's the best I can come up with.
