Look What I Won!

I love looking at quilts, all kinds of quilts, and I will search the word "quilt" and then check out the websites to see if I find any new and different ones that I would like to make. Well, one day while doing that I found this site http://www.quiltsandquilttops.com/
I looked at the quilt and found out that you could win a quilt top in a drawing that they have every 3 months or so. What you do is pick out a quilt out of the choices given and that would be the quilt you would win. I thought, what have I got to lose, so I entered the drawing and forgot about it. Well, last week I got an e-mail stating that I had won a quilt and I was so excited! I usually don't ever win anything and then to win a quilt was just unheard of. I received the quilt last Friday and it is wonderful. The backing and binding was included so all I have to do is quilt it. How awesome!



This is the quilt! It is not one that I would make for myself so I think that is why I picked it. The quilt is very well made and will quilt up nicely.

Here is a close up of one of the blocks.
Here is a close up of another. I am still in awe that I won! I will treasure this quilt always and can't thank the Linda enough for having the drawing! I will post another pix once I get it quilted and hope I can do it justice. Gosh, this is almost like Christmas! :D

Congratulations Carol! You just won a beautiful Stack'n Whack! Those are the most interesting looking quilts. I love all the variations you get from the same piece of fabric. Too Cool!

How exciting. Isn't it wonderful to see how other people make things that you would never have thought of. Have fun quilting it.
