    Thanks for the opportunity!

  33. My Fat Quarters need this book – really, they do! They’re all just laying around, waiting for a good-looking quilt to come along. From the few quilts I’ve seen from the book so far, my Fat Qs will be lining up ’round the corner wanting to be picked up by a pattern from this book. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.

  34. Given the patterns I’ve seen so far, I definitely want to see what else Kathy’s got in her book (can this book really be her 6th in the series?). I’ve got so many fat quarters, I’m always on the look out for good patterns. It’s difficult tho, when they call for 16-18 or more FQs and you have a beautiful bundle of 5 you want to use. Thanks for the chance to win Kathy’s book.

  35. I have many scraps handed down to my from my wonderful mother in law and this looks like the book to help me pull them all together.

  36. these are wonderful. would love to learn how she does this and make some for family. thanks for the chance
