100th Post and a Fat Quarter Bundle Giveaway!

I started a post today to show you my finished Fig Tree quilt when I noticed it would be my 100th post.  Well, that deserves a party doesn't it?!  So, I've decided to put one of my lovely but neglected FAT QUARTER BUNDLES up for adoption!  I have too many current and future WIPs that won't allow me time to get to this great fabric soon enough.

One lucky winner will receive 19 FQs (did I get 20 and one of them escaped?  I have no idea.) of the fabric line Riviera by Connecting Threads.  This is not a sponsored post, I just like them :-)  This fabric feels very nice and has wonderful modern colors in it.  Many of you have mentioned wanting to try Connecting Threads so here is your chance!  They also make popular quilting thread at very good prices and I can tell you from personal experience they have great customer service.

Here is the fabric porn you're looking for:

 

oooo, ahhhh, yummmm.

Now, what were we talking about?  Oh, yeah, the giveaway.  It's a jump-through-hoops one because I could use some more love around here :-)

1) One entry for a comment about your current WIP (work in progress) or a dream WIP.

2) One entry for becoming a Follower/Subscriber here at Frecklemama.com.

3) One entry for becoming a Follower on Twitter (@frecklemama).

For each entry, please leave a separate comment.  If you're already a follower or a friend just let me know.  I will leave the giveaway open for a week and draw a winner next Friday, 3/11.

In the meantime, I'll get my Fig Tree quilt pictures ready and post them soon.  Talk about eye-candy...
