  7. Lovely, lovely colors....hmmm I think everyone has said that in their comment, but it's true...so bright and happy! I have some nice patterned quilting fabrics, but don't purchase solids until I need them so winning this would be so sweet!

  12. I don't know if I'm entering the challenge as it is in itself a challenge with that little time I have to sew, but surely I would think seriously about it with those beautiful colours.
