We are in the final push to get all of our products ready to take to International Quilt Market in Houston. Sewing machines are whizzing, editors are up all night, and digital printers are pumping out patterns. It's not just us quilty bloggers - it's the the entire sewing/quilting industry. Moda is in Market mode. Things are getting finished and shipped. It seems that one of the chores they do is re-cycling. Yes, for all the good reasons, of course. And you could be the benefactor. How would you like to help Moda Fabrics and more importantly, ME - clean house?
A huge box arrived today filled with scraps of our debuting collection - Prairie Paisley II.
The strips are what are left over once the salesman samples are cut and assembled. Here are some....
When Moda (I'm talking about you Lissa) sent me a box of these same type of scraps of Charlevoix fabric - I made this....
These scraps are great for any string quilt. Most of the strips are wide enough for almost any type of piecing. Just comment on this post before Midnight Saturday October 8th and three winners will get a large priority mail box stuffed with strips. The rest will be given to a local guild who makes quilts for Quilts of Valor. See, recycling is good for all of us!

1 – 200 of 207 Newer› Newest»I'm in. Love the colors of the fabric together. It's just what I need for a string quilt.
The colors are wonderful and string quilts are my favorite. I love the random feel of these quilts and enjoy hand quilting.
Oh my, I would love Prairie Paisley 2 scraps as the first line is one of my fav of all time. Thanks for the chance and for always so generously sharing. (so when does it arrive in stores?)
all right! we could all use scraps! 'specially when we could make a quilt like yours! i'd like to be one of the three ... i'm a paisley fan, too.
The colors are so beautiful! The name is just precious! Just beautiful and breathtaking. :) Yes, one CAN make a lot of neat items from "just" scraps! I am finding scrap projects to be the most fun out of all quilting projects, because I am using up and not wasting, and the projects just turn out so neat (and they are one of a kind)! Thank you for your generosity, and best blessings in Houston!
what a GREAT AWESOME cause to donate for Quilts of Valor.
I love the homey feel of the fabric. And strips are perfect!
You get to play with a line of fabric to find things that you like, without having full yardage to 'deal with'.
Free strips are even better!
I absolutely LOVE the string quilt! Thanks for the chance to win.
I am only too happy to help with your problem! That red is wonderful.
Wow, what an honor it would be to receive some scraps from you!
Thanks for the chance and that string quilt of yours is beautiful!

That is very cool! I would love some scraps!
A scrap quilt would be so fun to make this winter and those salesman samples would be perfect for that quilt. I never had heard that term (salesman samples) in the quilting world. I love learning something new! Thanks for the chance to win.

I've never tried a string quilt but what a lovely group of fabrics to make a first. I have some redwork patterns I could combine with strings that would be perfect. Thanks for letting us participate in your recycling project.
Oh! I need those for my pineapple quilt! Thanks for the giveaway!
If I win and can make a quilt half as pretty as the one you made I'll be very happy. I love the cheerful colors. Thanks.
Oooh la la! Count me in! Its pure eye candy.
Would love to have the Prairie Paisley II scraps. Thanks for the chance.
The elementary school I work at just started having enrichment classes after school. I knew I wanted to do something with fabric and sewing. It is just so expensive to start. This would be a dream-come-true for so many 1st, 2nd , 3rd and 4th graders :) Thank you
I have some prairie paisley fat quarters that would work with those scraps! Pick me!

I love the fabrics and colors and would be thrilled to be picked in the drawing! I have just the right project in mind.
Having a box of Praire Paisley II arrive in my mailbox would be wonderful...just like Christmas... I'm making 6 blocks and 6 pillowcases for Johna'lee. She blogs at 'The Scrappy Appleyard.blogspot.com. She is collecting blocks....she mentioned in one of her blogs how much she likes your fabric collections. I still have some Praire Paisley and that is what I'm using. Her daughter, Tory, lost her fiance 12 days before they were to be married. Chris, was killed in Afghanistan early September and Johna'lee is making quilts for Tory and Chris' family. The scrapes bag would be an awesome win. I'm using the 'Just One Star' block. Thanks to 'Moda Lissa' and 'Minick & Simpson' for the chance to win the scraps...have a great Market in Houston!!
Really??? That would be awesome! I'd love to play with some!
I would love to win as I have the scraps from the original Prairie Paisley so it would be fun to make scrap quilt out of them. I have never made a string quilt so it would be a new experience.
Count me in too. This would be sew much fun to work on this coming winter. The colors would keep me cheery all winter. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
Uh, maybe you should give my chance to "Quilt n Queen"; sounds like Troy and Chris's family needs a quilt more than I.
