Fat Quarter Quilt Shop Contest posted by Quokka Quilts

This post is absolutely full of links. If you click the link above, you will go to Quokka Quilts, run by LAURA, not Linda. On Christmas Day she announced a new contest that I just had to enter. The link will give you all the details. What you see below is my personal journey/entry. The last day to enter is January 15, so if you are interested, stop reading this and follow the first link!

Basically, I had to go to Fat Quarter Shop and select 12 prints and 3 solids. I did that easily--it took about an hour. Then I realized that BATIKS probably do not count as PRINTS or SOLIDS. Does not matter--remember, I already won a contest for 57 batik fat quarters. I rethought my selection.

Much, much later, I had a final decision. Then I had to download PICASA, figure out how to make a collage with "borrowed" pictures from Fat Quarter Shop and make sure I could name them and link to them. TA-DA!

 Most of the fabrics I chose came from Lakehouse Fabrics.
