GIVE AWAY HAS CLOSED. Thanks for participating!
Welcome to Quarter Mile Quilts!
I am your host, Kate (hehe - I crack myself up)
Today I am participating in the Beat the Winter Blues Blog Hop and am excited to meet fellow quilters and bloggers! Being a native Arizonan, it can difficult to relate to the winter blues (we have more of the "summer reds" as I call it, when we just get tired of the heat). However, I am always up for a quilt party!
As a part of the "hop," I am giving away a set of 44, 4" squares that feature Kate Spain's Central Park line with a few coordinating prints to round it out. To enter all you'll need to do is leave a comment below telling me your favorite feature of quilt blogs (i.e. tutorials, pictures of wonderful fabric, etc.). International entries are welcomed.
Give-away closes March 14th at 11:59PM. Please only one comment per person! I'll be randomly picking the winner using a random number generator to keep things fair :)
With that said, feel free to browse around the blog and if you so desire, follow Quarter Mile Quilts.
Notes: The squares are cut by hand in my pet-free, smoke-free home. Also, please note that there are more of the cobblestone (light brown) print than the other squares.
Lovely fabrics and a nice giveaway. I love blogs that have some tutorials with great illustrations. There is always so much to learn from others!
