Hi Friends! Did you know March is National Quilting Month?
And today is National Quilting Day! How fun.
National Quilting Day
How will you spend today? Are you quilting? Shopping for fabric at the many sales today at the local quilt shops?
I am planning to work on a quilt later today. But first, my Saturday chores and other plans are calling me. I have to go to Pilates and get this body moving and then go buy blinds for my bedroom. And maybe do a little laundry and cleaning.
Then again…..I might skip the laundry and cleaning until tomorrow (cue Scarlett O’Hara!)
Maybe I will go fabric shopping instead!
Surprise Fabric Giveaway!
Giveaway is closed! Thanks to all who entered!
In honor of National Quilting Day (and month), I have decided to do a surprise fabric giveaway! WOOT!
I have 2 FQ bundles to giveaway- because, if you know me, you know I love FAT QUARTERS! They are my fabric addiction.
To be entered for a chance to win one of these bundles, leave me a comment on this post telling me your favorite color!
Why your favorite color? Today’s prompt on Instagram, as part of the ongoing #igquiltfest, is “favorite color”.

Reminds of my favorite place to be- the beach!

And yes… a couple of these are from my Luna Mystery quilt! The QAL started this week and I am so excited by everyone who is participating!

I love the shades of blues, greens, turquoise. There are many shades in making quilts that are beautiful shades together. It’s hard to pick just a couple colors.
My favorite color is yellow. Just finished a quilt top with lemon yellow with blue. Awesomeness
Hello and Thank You!
Favorite Color? Dark Teal to wear, greens/browns in nature, pearl white to drive, tobacco leather everything.
Thank You for a comment chance to win; I do not participate in social media. 🙂
I love teals and blues – they remind me of the ocean!
I love any shade of red.
My favorite color is blue. I’m sure I have blue in every quilt I’ve made.
I love blue, especially with green. The blue/green combo reminds me of spring in New Mexico and Colorado with the vibrant blue skies and fresh green spring foliage.
I’m with you, Kate. I love blues, all shades from teal to periwinkle, with the aquas being at the top of my list.
Hi Kate,
I love batiks and have fallen in love with both of these color sets. I can see a finished quilt with both!
My favorites are purple and blue. And if they are together in a fabric that’s the best.
Favorite color – green. Thanks for the chance to win these beautiful fabrics.
My favorite color would be teal or anything in that range. They remind me of the sky and water.
Hello!
My favorite color is purple! I have to make myself choose different colors! Batiks are definitely my favorite fabric to work with!
I like bright hot colors. Especially burnt orange for the Texas longhorns. Any vibrant color will catch my eye and what I gravitate to when I’m in shops looking for material. And there are many vibrant shades of blue so I have many of them in my stash.
Turquoise
My favorite are the BLUES.
beautiful batik and all the colors and patterns are amazing.
I love all shades of blue!
Easy to see that blue is my favorite – just finished two scrappy quilts that feature blues! Love it with lime green and have another top to be quilted in navy batiks with bright green.
My favorite color is purple but then all colors are grand! I love the beach theme of this bundle.
Blue is my favorite color
Winter colors–blue
Blue! Blue! It makes my quilts dance like ocean waves!
I love your work.
I love the color red and it often shows up in the quilts I make.
My Mom’s favorite color is red too and when I wear anything red it reminds me of her. She and my Dad are still alive and kicking and will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary in April.
I am also addicted to fat quarters. I just love them. My favorite color is teal.
The blues, teals along with the lime mixture is beautiful. Love them all!
Yellow, in all shades, from gold to cream: sunshine, happy, the yellow in the Ukraine flag (representing their abundance of wheat under a blue sky); closely followed by teal/aqua/turquoise – makes me think of Indian jewelry and the Southwest in general
It is a difficult choice, but if pressed I would go with forest green. After a long winter green is a welcomed color,
My favorite color is turquoise! Although, I also love all the blues. There is blue in every quilt I make!
Unusual compared to most, I actually like all colors! Just finished 3 blue themed quilts in a row, so kinda blue’d out right now. The teal/aqua bundle is beautiful and has me already planning my next quilt!
Purple! Such a happy color!
Ocean colors all the way – so cool and soothing!
I’m loving the greens and the blues. It’s hard to choose 1 when they both are gorgeous and go well together.
Blue… sky and water!
My favorite color is purple, but I also like teal, aqua and turquoise
Beautiful fabric. My favorite color is blue any shade. I am working on blue quolts for my family as it seems most of them.love blue.
My favorite color is blue. I love blue and white quilts with a pop of teal or yellow.
I love wearing purple, but those FQ colors are right up my alley for quilting!
My favorite color is purple but I love this blue and green palette!
Without a doubt, my favorite color is blue!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
Blue, blue and more blue. Anything from aqua to navy.
I love any shade of purple. I am 66 and have loved purple all my life.
I too have a hard time picking one favorite but I have been quilting with a lot of red lately so I’ll say red is my favorite, for now. I do love yellow too, and green and purple an pink. But let’s go with red.
I love shades of blue as well. My favorite blues are turquoise and teal. Blues are mostly calming and when I wear turquoise I feel it’s my power color. Thanks for the offer!
I love blues with green coming in next. Any colors that remind me of the ocean. Love the color package! Thanks for the giveaway.
I am partial to blues and greens, with blues ranking a bit higher that the greens.
Favorite color is turquoise
My favorite color since I was a teen is purple!! Obviously, next in line are blue and red! 🙂 I do have a LOT of purple fabric in my stash, but you can never have too much purple! Thanks so much for the chance to win a fat quarter bundle!! I love them, too!! They’re my favorite way to buy fabrics!
Green or blue, any shades there of!
I love your batik fabrics, especially since my favorite color is blue.

Red, the new neutral ♥️
Any shade of blue , I love.
Right now, emerald green or a true blue! I love these batiks they would complement my green and blue! ????
I love all kinds of colors, but red has always been my favorite.
My favorite color is blue as well. And like you, I like the aqua/blues the best!
My favorite color is teal with aqua a close second. I love batiks and these are no exception!
My favorite color is blue, every shade! I have made several all blue quilts and have never changed my opinion. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share and the chance to win the beautiful bundle!
My favorite color is sky blue. Whenever I’m feeling down and alone, all I have to do is look at the sky and I know God is with me, and I’ll be okay.
If it is the color in this fabric selection, I would say aqua. Favorite colors are in the warm color range, – bright, red, pink, orange colors.
Like you blue is my favourite colour-any shade! Your fabrics are just beautiful!
Beautiful fabrics!!
I love all colors, but especially love the Blues hues. My favorite is Teal Blue!
I love blues and purples, but anything batik works for me!
Hello there from Vancouver Island, BC. Just finished the quilt Side step. I love the color blue and have yet to make myself something in the blue spectrum.
My favorite color has always been red, along with all its tints and shades. Magenta, rose, pink, coral, . . . ????
I, too, love blue but I was surprised to notice that I’ve never included much blue into quilts!
Thanks for all your generous sharing, Kate.
I have been making projects with a variety of greens to aqua as of late, but love most colors. Whatever catches my eye for the quilt..
I’m a winter color person. I like deep burgandy, purple, and deep greens. I’m also a lover of 1930’s prints. Batiks have been a favorite since they were introduced; I now have batiks from around the world….and in my favorite colors!
I am not sure what my favorite color is. If you had asked me before I started quilting I would have said, navy blue, brown, black. Now when I look at my favorite fabrics (batiks) I see a lot of blue, orange and purple.
What I did today on National Quilting Day…. While you out shopping or cleaning house ????…I selected the fabrics for my mystery quilt!! Yea! The hard part is done!!!!
My favorite color is pink.
I saw a quilt today at a local guild show that had a teal color background. It was stunning!
Beautiful fabrics! Purple is my favorite color.
I love greens, especially lime and if it starts leaning towards blue, that’s good too.
I love your new fabrics! I love the happy colors you have chosen as they complement the sunshine at 5:30 I am enjoying. Otherwise I tend to like pink and purple combos.
I love strong colors of nature, blues, greens of land, sea, and sky. Purple and orange in a sunset, as well. Love these batiks!
My favorite color is the rainbow – because I cannot pick just one! But, if I had to it would probably be all blues shading into greens.
My favorited color is green. It reminds me of a beautiful summer day.
My favorite color is yellow, but I quilt with all colors. Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite color is coral all shades.
I like to pair it with aqua, my second favorite.
I love blue as well. The ocean is a magical place. Being a sub diver I see some many different shades of blue, it’s incredible!
Hi, my favorite colors re red/orange. They have so much life. I once painted one wall in my rental, red. The landlord had told me it was OK to paint but after I moved, he said he had a hard time finding a ” neutral” color that he could paint over the red. Thanks for asking, Karen
my favorite color has always been a deep Teal. I even got a bike that color when I was younger. I love your ocean color palette – so soothing!
I love teal- looking into my closet all you see is teal clothes and fabric!
I love anything in the teal/aqua color family. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am very fond of blue violet.
Hi Kate,
My name is Darlene. I love your fabric designs. My favourite colour is any tone in the blue spectrum
Beautiful fabrics…my favorite color is purple followed closely by greens …..and like blue as well….
My first favorite color is blue. But tomorrow it may change because all colors are beautiful in there own way.
My favorite color is green; I love all shades, as you do with blue. My next favorite is black, which is always interesting to incorporate into quilts.
Thanks so much!
Blue is my favorite color.
I started on my Luna project and looking forward to next week.
I am a blue lover too.
Hard to choose but if I have to, then my favourite colour is any shade of aqua!
My favorite color is teal.
I love every color, but if I was to look at my fabric bins, it would probably be blue… bright blues to be exact…. But I also do like a nice deep navy.
My favorite color is shades of lavender.
Hi! Your fabric choices are fantastic! I see that these fabrics have the big BATIK VIBE that I love!! I love greens and some blue shades- especially teal and turquoise! I bought a new house 5 years back and two of the rooms that sold me were the turquoise walls in the kitchen and the light turquoise walls in the master bedroom. I must know what company makes these fabrics! Thanks for putting them on your blog!
Blue! And sometimes red…
Beautiful fabric! My favorite color is red.
My favorite color is blues and greens which is why I took myself right over to wooden spools and purchased fabric for the Luna mystery. These fabrics are gorgeous!
My favorite color is blue as well.
I agree with you, blue in any shade. My mother always loved red and I remember begging her to by my clothes in blue!!
Lovly lovely fabrics….. II have been quilting and working with fabrics for many years, and over the years my likes for colors is always changing. But I think the longest like these days has been LIME GREEN. In fact I am just finishing up a quilt made of lime greens and browns and a little splash of orange…which happens to be my second favorite color
My favorite color is teal.
Hands down. Blue is my favorite color. Just ask my quilty friends!!
My favorite color is lime green!
Fav color is blueish! I love anything from aqua to blue to teal. To me they are so calming and remind me of calm blue oceans!! With Ohio weather this winter calm blue oceans and beaches right now would be so welcomed!
Green, any shade! Blue is also a favorite, but not THE favorite. I’m a middle sister between two blonde, blue-eyed beauties who loved pink. I’m a green-eyed brunette (ha, used to be, anyway!), and I hated pink. Green has always been it for me – grass and leaves and even some flowers – calm and cool and soothing. Thank you for the chance to win a favorite fabric in a favorite color!
I love fat quarters, too. They are so versatile in sewing/quilting. My favorite color is green, pretty much any color or shade.
The fat quarters above are beautiful.
My favorite color is blue also. I try to use other colors, but blue always captures my eye first.
I always go for blues and purples. I love your new designs! Hope I win!! Thanks.
I do love all those beautiful soft blues, but they are second to all the beautiful soft purples! Unless, perhaps, the two together?
So hard to choose, but today I’ll go with purple.
My favorite color is yellow.
Thanks for the giveaway chance! Blue is my favorite color followed closely by green. BATIKS! Love batiks!
I too love blue… and batiks!
My favorite colors are in the aqua, teal, blue family followed by purples and greens. Of course, I’ve never met a fabric I didn’t like.
My favorite color is lime green. like in the blue and green batiks.
The greens!
My favorite color is blue. However, my favorite color combination is blue and green. I cannot wait to see how my Luna mystery QAL turns out. ????
Gorgeous fabric bundles… I seem to be drawn to aqua colour range but have many other favourite colours.
My favorite color is water in all its glory! I love to sit on a dock by a body of water and listen to the sounds of lapping water and animals and insects that are attracted to it. Wading in rapids and seeing the white caps over the blue stream as it rushes on its way. Then there is the white sand when I wade out into blue surf at the Florida panhandle. The blue water sparkles in the sun and I can relax one muscle at a time. So… all the shades of water and all that reflects in it. I
I have always loved red, especially with blue and white in our flag and with green at Christmas.
Thank you for the generous fat quarter give-away..
My favorite color is blue. Lately, I find I’m matching it with taupe in my quilts.
My favorite color is chartreuse. I just like the warmth it brings to green and it’s just an unexpected color
The fabrics you selected are beautiful! Teal is my favorite color it reminds me of the ocean and all its beautiful colors.
My favorite colors are blues and purples
Your fabrics will make a beautiful quilt!
I love all colors but purple is my favorite!
My favorite color is all the watery blues. These fabrics mix them so well with the other colors and give me such a bright, hopeful feeling. They just make me smile and take me away to the beach ⛱️
My current favorite color is fuchsia.
Happy Quilting Month! My favorite color is blue, bright blue. Maybe Azure or Cobalt, but I also love bright green and bright pink!

52 year’s ago when I got married my colors were blue and purple. They haven’t changed. I’ve added more colors but still at the top blue and purple ????
My favorite color is lime green!
My favorite of all time is Blue. But I have been leaning towards aquas and turquoise. Thank you for this great giveaway. They are gorgeous fabrics!!
Have a hard time deciding. Probably my favorite is purple, but I’ve loved the combination of blue and green forever.
My favorite color is rainbow! I love lots of bright colors all together. I love purple but I actually use blue the most in quilts.
My favorite color was always blue, sky, water, eyes, all my favorite things. But recently I’m going over to the softer side of pastels peach nougat line along side pastel green with vanilla ice cream. My husband’s favorite color is “Henna Color” – tranlated: Any color – he likes all colors.
I love blues and teals — but my favorite color is green/jade!
Thank you for all your inspiration!
I love the color blue. The batiks are beautiful and would add to my collection for making postcards.
Maxone
My favorite color is that not quite blue not quite green. The colors of the oceans, water and sky.
Beautiful fabric!! Blues and greens are my favorite colors, teal being one of my favorite shades.
I love both bundles, but blues tend to be my favorite.
I go by ‘flick’ because I also play the bassoon. My favorite color is GREEN. Green is hard to describe because there are so many of them. Blue gray, yellow, rust, brown, red, …….And there is nothing that can not be put with a green. When in a pinch once I used a certain green instead of a medium light grey to sew a whole quilt. I one noticed.
Karen
Blue is a calming color. We all like to sit back and relax under a cozy quilt.
What a beautiful palette of fabric!
Just to be different, my favorite color is rust. I’m a Fall color girl, and like all colors Fall.
Any shade of Blue.
My favorite color is yellow. It’s such a sunny, bright, and fun color.
My favorite color has been red for 72 years. I even talked my Dad into painting our rowboat red, but, I had to do the painting. All my life, my second favorite color has been medium blue because that was the color of the lake. I wore a lot of aqua blue growing up as that is the color of my eyes. The fabrics you offer are beautiful. Thank you for all you do to inspire me.
I live near the beach in Oregon – blue is my color!
Beautiful fabric colors. My favorite color is blue, I have blue glass everywhere in the house!
I like different shades of blue from all colors of water. Astor my night at sea or the clear blue of a sun beach day.
I would join the many who say blue is my favorite color; really like it paired with orange!
I love all colors of water. Astor my night at sea or the clear blue of a sun beach day.
My favorite color is purple.
My favorite color is green, all shades. It makes me think of things fresh and new. Spring and the awakening plants and trees. The smell of a freshly mown lawn and the air after a rain. Shamrocks and green eyes because I’m a little bit Irish. The deep green of the forest and sometimes the sea.
I really don’t have a favorite color I like them all. This collection is beautiful.
My favorite color is a deep maroon.
Aqua is actually my favorite color too (red is a close second), but there really aren’t too many colors I don’t like. Part of the fun of quilting (in my opinion) is getting to choose the many color combinations that look right together! Thanks for offering the give-away, and good luck to the other quilters that want to win.
My favorite color is also blue. The fabrics are beautiful!
I’ve always said that my favourite colour is blue but lately, I’m saying green. I guess that our favourites can change over time.
These fabrics are beautiful! My favorite color is purple.
I too love Aqua to add pop to my projects.
Georgus fabric I prefer the blue package.
My favorite color is green and then teal colors — these fabrics are beautiful
I love anything blue/teal combination
I live on a farm many miles from the ocean with over 40 horses and sheep, I dream of the water and try to surround myself with its colours
