  13. Awesome Giveaway! Way to kick things off with a bang. I suppose that I'll have to give a bit more thought to my favorite colorway--I had typed in fiesta and then backspaced remember the lovely grays/blues of new day--so now, I'm undecided.

    ReplyDelete
  14. *twirls flaming pinwheels extra fast* Oh, swoon! What a fun way to kick off the new quilt along, Pam, aren't you sweet!

    Sign me up but don't expect me to choose a color line if I should be so lucky as to win- how could anyone pick between them? Huh? HOW? They are all so yummy.

    Thanks for the chance, Pam. :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I love them all so much and so hard to choose. I would take any one of them but New Day is my fav or wait maybe it is Fiesta...no New day.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh my goodness Pam...aren't you sooooo generous!! Love, love, love them all but New Day is calling my name. That will give me more greys to put with the stack I am building for hubby's quilt!:) And I don't have any quilting books!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh that New Day is just what is needed to brighten this dreary winter. Thanks so much for the great giveaway

    Now off to start making pinwheels, which I absolutely adore!! What a great pick for a quilt along :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. They are all gorgeous but I would choose new day.

    I did start on a pinwheel quilt for myself and sister using one Wild Blossom layer cake. NO - wrong one. I used my overdyed fabric for those - I think I'll take it out and join in the fun which means more dyeing.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love the muted colors of New Day! Although I love them all just about the same. :o)

    ReplyDelete
  37. The fiesta colors are very eye-catching!

    ReplyDelete

    And - I was just checking out her book at the bookstore the other day and I think I might have drooled!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Isn't this a beautiful line... It would certainly make gorgeous pinwheels. I think that the New Day color scheme would leave room for some serious contrast! ;)
    Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  46. How fun - can't wait to start my pinwheel quilt! I love the Fiesta colorway - so pretty!

  164. Man-o-man....what a tough choice! But, if someone locked me in a room & said I couldn't come out till I chose one - & ONLY one...I might just have to stay in there, locked up for a very long time! LOL!

    OK....so I'd choose Fiesta. No-no, wait, change that to New Day because I LOVE the blues/gray/green combination...but then gotta love Piney Woods with the awesome yellow/green combo.

    Ahhhhh heck, I hate when this happens! Anyone else having this much trouble choosing?????? Please, just throw away the key! LOL

    ReplyDelete
