Life has been hectic around here. I've had my in-laws up for a nice long visit along with my 3 year old nephew.
I've been sewing like mad, but not much I can show for it.
One thing I am doing when I have down time, waiting for Little Bit, or sitting with Shane, is working on hexies!
I've decided to start the quilt along, MFHexie, that Katy from Im A Ginger Monkey and FatQuarterly are hosting. FatQuarterly has info on how to make hexies, basting etc and links to places you can buy papers and some discount codes going one. This is the image of what the finished quilt will look like.
I've been using my AccuQuilt and Sizzix Big Shot to cut my own hexie papers and fabric. It has actually been working out really well.
So I cut papers from AccuQuilt and fabric from Sizzix, and since the Sizzix dies go through the AccuQuilt baby I don't even have to switch machines. This is one of the times where I see the difference between having lots of sizes, like with the AccuQuilt, and multiple of the same, like the Sizzix, are both useful. I'm not sure which I like better because there are pros and cons to both. Price wise though the Sizzix is cheaper by a fair amount.
You know what else would make this an awesome quilt? My Blogger Bundle from Fat Quarter Shop. Just sayin'....

Lovely fabric..thank you!
I always think quilt first.
but this would make a lovely bag too and I need a new one.
I just bought the hexie die from Accuquilt. I haven't tried it yet but will soon. I enjoy making hexies. Thanks for the chance to win your fabulous bundle. I would use it to make a lap quilt for myself.
I definitely would make a bag that has been on my list for a while to make!
Thanks for the giveaway!

Cara - I didn't know you could use Sizzix dies in the AccuQuilt cutter!! Thanks for the tip. I bought some hexagon papers last week and I might give hexagons a try. If successful - your bundle would create some beautiful flowers. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would probably stare at it lovingly for a long while.... and then eventually make a baby quilt with it:)
I have and 8 year old niece who loves all the colors in your bundle. So I would make a quilt for her. Or maybe, if she's interested, I could teach her to sew with these fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love hexies. Your Lily Belle will be gorgeous. I didn't realize you had a FQ Bundle -- it's beautiful! I'd love to win it and make a fun quilt from it. Thank for the chance.
If I won the fabric, I would make a quilt for my friend who really likes those bright colors! Thanks for a chance at winning some new fabric!
thanks for the give away! Love your fabric bundle. It looks fun and flirty. Maybe it would be perfect for the hexie quilt or a Swoon quilt. Both are on my list to make.
Love the fabrics you chose Cara. I'd make something for my kitchen. Just added an old table in there that I refinished a few years ago and it needs a table runner.
Lots of things that bundle could be used for.
Love that bundle and I can envision myself making lots of cute pincushions! :)
Covers for my Keurig brewer and my sisters!
You must have been reading my mind! I fell asleep last night thinking about hexagons since I have newly discovered English paper piecing. My daughter is playing volleyball all summer, and I love having some handwork I can throw in a bag to have something to do while she practices, so these fabrics would be an awesome summer hexagon project.
I love that bundle! I could use it for making Mon-stors, my signature creations!
I think those fabrics would be great to make a quilt with simple geometric shapes, set together with fresh solid white.
Wonderful fabric. As you say it would be great for making an hexie quilt. It would look fantastic.
I've been wanting to quilt-a-long with Katy but just can't justify buying more fabric before I use some more of my stash. So, I would definitely make a few Hexies with this bundle.
Thank you!
You sure put together a beautiful bundle. I had to go to the Fat Quarter site to get a closer look. A quilt for sure.
Pretty colors! I noticed FQS' Twirly Bird kit on FB today, using the Ballerina pattern - these fabrics would look great with that pattern, a la Twirly Bird!
I love that bundle! I just got a Sizzix machine for mother's day, specifically for doing hexies, circles and stars. I'm really enjoying it! I'd probably use the fabric bundle for a really fun bed-size quilt!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I would use it in a challenge ..I have 2 that are due in September.
If I could bring myself to actually cut these fabrics I would make a baby quilt with it. It would be so freakin' cute.

I have an accuquilt machine and would love to learn these hexis or maybe a small quilt for the foot of my bed.
My sister is an amazing quilter, and I want to learn how too! Maybe this FQ bundler would start me on the path!! ;-)
your bundle is awesome, love the colors you picked! i want to make a tumbler quilt, it's been on my list for awhile now!
Those colors would make a great beach quilt blanket or something for my sweet niece!
That bundle is beautiful. I'm ready to jump on the granny square bandwagon and these colors would make super granny squares. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love this fabric! I would make a baby quilt for my 2nd grandson, due to arrive in October!!

Seriously adore the colour picks!
Love the fabric in that bundle, it is sooo springy! I would make a quilt of course, or maybe more than one.
If I won, I would make a quilt for my day bed. :)
I'm not sure what I would do with the bundle other than add it to my stash! I never know what I'm going to do with fabric until I feel in my hands and it tells me what it wants me to do with it :)

I have five grandchildren under the age of five, including three-month-old twins. I could quilt something for them, I'm sure, if I won this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would make a purse or two, then use the left overs in a quilt!
What a gorgeous giveaway, thank you. I am really in to english paper piecing at the moment too and have just about finished a bag for a friend made with hexagons. I would use the fabric to make some dresden plates to go on the front of bags too.

Cara, what a gorgeous set of fabrics you picked! I would make a cheery summer table runner in these yummy citrusy colors. See 'About' on my profile for contact info. Thanks for a great giveaway! :)
Love the fabric. I would make little twirly skirts for my grandaughters.
I think I'd make new napkins--double-sided!!!

What a fun picnic blanket they would make!
Love the bundle! I would make a new summer quilt for my kitchen. Thanx for the chance :)

I would make a nice lap quilt with these fat quarters. Love the great brights!
Two words: doll clothing. ;) Fat quarters are the perfect size for it. :D
I would use it to make a quilt ( a small one) for my niece. I'm trying to get 2 quilts sewn. One for each niece...a little fabric helps! I know she would love these bright colors.
I've got a very important baby quilt to make for someone next year and she'll be getting a neutral playmat and then I'll make both a boy and a girl themed quilt and gift which one is appropriate. This gorgeous bundle will match some other FQs in my stash beautifully for the girl's quilt! Thanks for the giveaway Cara :)

I just taught myself to sew a few months ago and all I've been doing is quilting! I'd LOVE to make a lap quilt with it!
I'm actually working on a hexagon quilt too, so I would probably use the bundle (or part of the bundle) making hexagon flowers.
Love your bundle! I would probably make a nice summer purse with it. Maybe a picnic quilt...or a lap quilt for cool nights. Or, I would just admire it on my shelf until inspiration hits!
Love those colors. I would love to make a quilt out of them.
I would make a "New Wave" quilt with those cheery fabrics!

Zig zag quilt all the way. Those colors are so full of joy.
Wow - love these colors! I'd make a summer-weight lap quilt for my mom.
Oh my! That bundle is beautiful. It would make beautiful hexi flowers. I'm inspired by your quilt and your fabric. Oh....I hope you pick me. (fingers crossed)
Beautiful bundle! I would make a quilt for ....someone! I love the colors. Thank you for the chance!

I would definitely put this fabric in a summer quilt. I love the colors.
First of all...thanks for the opportunity to win this fabric bundle. The colors are gorgeous!
I would use this fabric for a quilt for one of my daughters. I would love to make each a quilt, and this would be fantastic.
I don't have one of the new fancy cutting machines that are so popular right now...I cut my pieces with rotary cutter and rulers.
Have a wonderful day, and thanks again.
Any excuse I can find to start a new quilt, I will use! I would wait for a QAL that looks fun and get started!
I would love to use it on a new quilting project! bearrabbitbear at hotmail dot com
Oh it's so nice to hear someone comparing the Accuquilt and the Sizzix hexies.. I have an Accuquilt GO and I was recently looking at the Sizzix dies at a quilt fair, but I was under the impression that the Sizzix dies weren't able to be used in the Accuquilt cutters.
I really liked the way the sizzix hexie dies were done in multiples of the same size instead of multiple sizes, but I didn't really want to have to buy a whole new "cutting system"!
Meanwhile, if I won your gorgeous blogger bundle I think I'd use it when I redecorate my daughter's room.. cushions, bunting, mini quilt wall hanging..
What bright fun fabrics! Looks like something made for summer would be great in these fabrics.
Your bundle looks like a splash of summer flowers. So...a picnic quilt would be fun to make.
You said that the sizzix dies fit the accuquilt baby??? Is this true for all sizzix dies???
I have the Go,, but have seen some very nice sizzix dies,, but wondered if they'd fit..
Lovely bundle by the way, for summer stuff.
Love, love your colourful bundle! I'd add solid white to it and make a bright summertime quilt, with funky flowers created using the Accuquilt dies!
Sew many things to do with that beautiful fabric! I think my first project would be a quilt for my little granddaughter who is going to be born sometime around July 9th!
Love the colors of your blogger bundle!
They are shouting SUMMER!!!!
I would make a light wieght throw quilt to be used on the back porch on cool summer nights while star gazing.

Those always remind me of rainbow sherbet I used to have at my grandparents house in the summer. I am thinking a simple summer quilt of railfence blocks in threes just like the icecream. :)
I'd love to make a quilt for my mum ;)
I cannot tell you how in love I am with these fabrics. Yea, I'm one of them...fabriholic. I know the first thing I would do with them is sit and look and admire them through touch. Honestly I'm not sure I would have the courage to cut them.
love those fabrics and what a neat quilt along.
im going to do the hexy quilt too so I could use it for that...am waiting for the sizzix hexagons, we cant get them here until end July :(
I have been asked to make a quilt with lots of pretty stars, this will look lovely. Thank you for the chance.
I have been getting out of my "BOX" and buying brighter colours. This bundle would make a great summer quilt especially my favorite colour green.They are bright and happy.
I am a hexaculturalist and would find no problem in growing a hexie garden from these colourful prints. Thank you for the giveaway and thank you for hosting Talknt.
I keep buying material to make neutral colored quilts, but I love the bright colors and would love to make a girly quilt!!! I would be a good donation for my churches craft bazar!!!
I SO MUCH want to make a skirt and I would use these all to make one tiered extravaganza of color that would make people want to call me MARGARITA! xxoo
I love these colors! They just say 'summer' to me - would like to make some summery placemats and a table runner and potholders to match!
Those are gorgeous bright colours. I would want to make a kids quilt with them.
If I'm so fortunate as to win your lovely bundle, I'll be torn between making hexies for my GMFG quilt And that FatQuarterlyMF quilt! I would love to have that dilemma of choice.
Ahhhhhhhh! I honestly can't decide what I would use it for! A summery quilt? A cute girls skirt? Table runner?
I'd just have to muse on it for awhile. :)
Your FQ Bundle is so eye popping gorgeous!! I'd love to make a quilt, a tablerunner or maybe a summer bag. But first I'd have to hold the bundle close, cuddle for abit and see what it told me it would like to be. hehe.
Thanks for a super generous giveaway and a chance to win a gorgeous FQ Bundle.

Nice, picks! They remind me of citrus, so maybe an Orange peel quilt? Thanks for the giveaway!

Pretty bundle by the way! :)
I think it'd be great for a quilt
I love the bright colors. I'd use it to make quilts for my neighbor's little girls
That bundle would be great for a very girly quilt I need to make next month.
I would definitely make a quilt for my cousin's preemie with that fabric.
those shades of pink and green are the same one's my Mom loves. I think I'd use them to make a patchy quilted bag for her. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd use it for paper piecing, though not the Hexy MF, as I already started that one.
I'd make a patchwork beach blanket/quilt.
I'd stare at it for a while, and then I'd make a fun picnic quilt for my kiddos. Such bright lovely summer colors!
xoxo
Let's be honest: I'd put in top of my current projects, pet it, love it, stare at it any time I needed to be cheered up, and then finally, probably 3 months later when it will be getting cold here, I would cut into it and make a super cheery quilt to get me through winter. Maybe use AMH's prism pattern that I've been seeing everywhere.
I think I would have to make a yummy summer skirt - love it!!
I would do a hexagon quilt. I love hexagons. Love the colors
That bundle of fun colors would be perfect as a gift quilt for my 15 year old niece!
-- Colleen @ Made By Colleen
GORGEOUS bundle! I think they would make a fun bright beach bag!
I love that bundle, Cara! I've no idea for whom I'd specifically make it, but I'm pretty I'd make another Wave quilt. It'd be great paired with some Kona White.
Oh wow - I could make yummy pillow cases and a coordinating laundry/linen bag to jazz up my boring bedroom!!!
this would be a perfect bundle for those wrap-up picnic quilts! and maybe some pillows to lounge on too while you sip wine!
Oh I think that'd make a great basis for a window seat cushion, I have been planning on making a bench from pallets and trying this for awhile. Thank you for the giveaway!
Great looking bundle, Cara! I'd make my daughter some nice pillows for her new Montreal apartment!
lovely! thanks for the chance to win!

My daughter is a fairly new quilter and these are just her colors so I would gift them to her. I'm fairly sure that she would make a quilt with them in some type of hexagon shapes. Thanks for allowing us to enter this giveaway.
I'm working on hexies also, it's too hot to sew upstairs in my house. The portable AC in the family room is my salvation!
LOVE your bundle, the colors are so bright and gorgeous. I want to make tote bags for my sisters and they would both love those colors.
Thanks! Joan
Would love a chance to win! :)
What would I do with it? After stroking, gazing, drooling and stashing forever because I'm rubbish at cutting into stuff (actually ignore that last bit otherwise you won't let me win!) I would use it to make bags and purses for me and my girls (when my 5yr old stops wanting to be a boy that is!)
thanks for a great giveaway
Quilts!!!! That's what I would use the bundle for :)
I did not know that about the dies interchangeability. Great tip--and I have been working on Quilts for Kids...
Lovely colours for a quilt..bright and breezy for summer and a ray of sunshine on a gloomy winter's day
I would make some summer pillows for my dk grey couch... It'll look awesome!
I think the fabrics would make a darling quilt for my new granddaughter!
I would definitely make a lap quilt out of it. With lots of free motion quilting. What a nice giveaway!
what bright summery colors! I would make some pillows for my kids room!
I love that fabric! I'd make a fun summery quilt!
I love the bright colour scheme. I usually use a more muted pallette, but this would be fun to play with - I have a 2 year old granddaughter without a quilt.
oooh gorgeous fabric combination....makes me think of a citrus theme, all that lime and tangerine and, well, pink grapefruit. I would make a wall quilt on this theme...perhaps snag a few of the FQs and hem for napkins for the porch...and use all else in my quilted postcards. Thanks so much for the giveaway - and, hey, Happy Canada Day!
I love that fabric. It would make a wonderful bany quilt :)
I would most definitely have to make a quilt for my 4 year old daughter. She would just love one with these fabrics! Thank you for the giveaway!!

Glad to see you are back! Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful prize!
That's a lovely bundle: I've been eyeing it on FatQuarterShop for a couple of days now. I have friends with a little girl who would love the colors: either as a small, summery quilt or as a couple of sweet little dresses. :)
Those are gorgeous fabrics you've chosen. I would make a chevron quilt, maybe using one of the solids as a background, or possibly using a stark white background and incorporating the coloured solids into the chevrons themselves.
sarahleigh@internode.on.net
I love the fabrics and would love to try some EEP projects.
Such beautiful fabric! They would make a beautiful quilt but I would probably make a dress for my daughter.
