A couple of days ago I saw over at Quokka Quilts a fun little giveaway linky thing for choosing your own Blogger's Bundle from all the luscious goodies at the Fat Quarter Shop. I'm always up for a giveaway. While I don't have a ton of free time to do much today, I thought I could accomplish this without too much work. Thought being the optimum word! I was so wrong. It took me a lot longer to do than I thought it would. First I had to choose a main fabric to start with and then choose 11 other coordinates and 3 solids.
I hunted all over the shop and eventually settled on the ones below. Then I needed to make a collage of the pictures to add to the link up. Well that turned out to be the hardest part of all. The collage/mosaic sites wouldn't work right for me and I wasted tons of minutes uploading all the info and then hit "Create" and nothing happened. Many times I tried to no avail. Somehow I needed to figure this out before I wasted my entire day. Of course I would love to win half yards of all these gorgeous fabrics but I can't afford to spend multiple hours wrestling with the process to get entered in the first place.

I would be really fun to win this bundle and see what all of these would actually look like in a quilt. If I am so lucky, I would just have to quickly find a pattern to use. Any suggestions you may have are always appreciated. Wish me luck!

good for you for keeping going xx technology drives me crazy !!
Ooh, I like these! Nice and girly but not too... My fave colours when I was a littlun! :) (I'm still a purple girl!)
I thought I recognized some of those Kate Spain prints - I was just cutting and organizing charm squares from Terrain and Good Fortune last night for a new project! Great work coordinating though ... I tend to just grab one fabric line and save myself the trouble.
