If we get more than 6 each, we will each draw 6 names and those

12 people with get 8 pieces 9" X 11"

The BLOCKS will be judged by Julia Rothman.
She will pick a winner, and...



The winner will get a FQ bundle of CLOUD 9's

THEN, all 12 blocks will be made into a quilt for BASICS.

So, comment here if you want to play along from now til 6pm Monday

    Fantastic idea! I love challenges and this challenge has something more: gives opportunity to create something with fabrics which we haven't chosen by ourselves. That's really interesting!

    Can't pass up a chance for free fabric and to donate to basics! Although since there is a lottery, you can be sure I won't win! I have never won a lottery or raffle in any of the three guilds I belong to here in the city!

    LOL. But there can always be a first!

    I would love a chance to play along. I'm a huge Cloud 9 fan and it all started at CHA in California the year I opened my paper arts store. Cloud 9 was a brand new vendor and I ordered a lot of your product for my store. I always loved your paper lines, and now I love your fabric lines. I would love to be a part of this wonderful challenge.

    Thank you to all involved in this giveaway/challenge. I love a challenge. As before I am going to get a quilt (or maybe 2)in the mail to you before November. This time instead of a top I am going to try and quilt it myself. Thank you Victoria for your dedication and generosity.
