Beautiful Batik Giveaway

Pin It
When I got home from our trip on Monday I had a beautiful Fat Quarter Sampler of Batiks waiting for me from Connecting Threads and I couldn't wait to create something with them! I designed this small quilt to showcase all the beautiful fabrics......now I just need to think of a name for it.....any suggestions on a name?? A tutorial will be coming soon.
I did a couple different types of quilting on this. I did a little pebbling in the centers, stitch in the ditch around the center pieces and some stipple quilting in the borders.
Connecting Threads
I have been buying Batiks from Connecting Threads for quite sometime and am excited to announce that they are my newest sponsor! They also have thread, other fabrics, books and more.

After much debate, I like the summer 2012 sampler. Thanks for the chance to win!

Heidi [Grizz-n-Dove] said...

They are all great, but I'd have to say that the Summer 2012 bundle is my favorite!! Thank you Connie and thank you Connecting Threads!!

Robin said...

oh I love them all but I think I would love something made with light and bright

a name for your quilt- garden path

Mary said...

I love the rich and muted collection. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

Cheryl Gomez said...

I love the summer 2012 sampler!

Karen said...

I love them all, but the Summer 2012 would be my choice. Thanks Connie and Connecting Threads.

Cecilia said...

I love all of the samplers, but my favorite is the Summer 2012. The Light and Bright would be my second choice. Thank you and Connecting Threads for a great giveaway. Your quilt reminds me of a rainbow, so I would call it Rainbow Trails.

Jamie Lee said...

Light and bright! I love the purples and aquas!

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Connecting Threads. I got a ton of thread since it's on sale. And some fabric goodies of course. What a deal!

Teresa in Music City said...

I just ordered some things from Connecting Threads this morning! I spent a lot of time deciding whether to get a set of these batiks and ended up not getting them because I have shopped quite a lot lately :*) But I still would LOVE to have a FQ set for sure! How to decide though? I think I would pick the Light and Bright set first!

Lawana said...

I absolutely love batiks and these are fabulous colors....hard to choose but the Light and bright is #1 for me.. thanks for the giveaway

Judy1522 said...

They are all beautiful my favorite is the light and bright sampler. I received an e-mail yesterday from Connecting Threads and started reading about them on their website. They are located across the river in the neighboring state. When I signed up with them I didn't realize where they were located. They have incredible prices and are having a great sale on thread. Plus their shipping prices are the best I have seen. I am definitely going to be putting an order in to them soon.

Teresa in Music City said...

I'm also pretty in love with yoru quilt! Its so perfect for summer and reminds me of all the colors of umbrellas and swimsuits on the beach in the warm summer months :*) Can't come up with a name though. I'm sure you'll find the perfect name for it.

Kathrynn said...

Great giveaway, thanks for the chance to win.
I like the Summer 2012, with Light and Bright a very close second

Quilter Kathy said...

Woohoo! How fun!
I'd like the Light and Bright one!

Elizabeth S. said...

How very generous indeed! It's such a hard decision, but I think I'd go with the Light and Bright collection.

Hilachas said...

Beautful batiks! I like the 3rd one which I think is the Batik Paradise Summer 2012. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.

JLVerde said...

It took a while to decide but LIGHT AND BRIGHT won it for me (the colors are just so lively and make me happy).

Fabric Problem said...

I like them all, but I think that the Light and Bright is today's favorite!

B Greene said...

I like the third bundle best, but all of the collections are wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win!

kathy said...

Light and Bright is my favorite! Isn't Connecting Threads great? Thanks for the opportunity!

tpott said...

Love the Rich and Muted but they're all beautiful Batiks. Thanks so much to you Connie and also Connecting Threads, for such a generous giveaway. As for a name for your quilt? It looks like some type of basket weave. You did a great job quilting, I love the colors. How big is it? ;-> Toni Anne

patchouli moon studio said...

I like the summer 2012, but really all of them are great when you love batiks like me. I would call the quilt Woven Boxes.

I really do love them all, but if I have to pick a favorite, it is rich and muted!

I love to shop at Connecting Threads. I use their thread exclusively. Thanks for the great giveaway. Love all the samplers but the Summer one is today's choice because it's so hot.

Sallie said...

I love them all, but I'd choose Light & Bright Batik Samplers. I'd name your quilt "Curb Appeal" because the white centers look like houses and the colors around are so appealing and the white border looks like sidewalks around the neighborhood. Thanks for the great giveaway!

♥Duff said...

I like the colors of the light and bright, but love the texture in the summer 2012 sampler! Awesome!!
A name, huh? It reminded me of a garden path--as you walk down the path there are different colored flowers. I'm sure someone has that name already, but that's what came to mind!

Prairie ST Quilts said...

I love the rich and muted sampler - beautiful!

Jane Smith said...

Tough decision, but the Rich & Muted collection would work great for a project I'm putting together.

Thank you for your generosity.

Carolyn said...

I love all the colors in your quilt! It just makes me happy. It is so hard to choose, but I think I am leaning towards the light and bright being my favorite (at least for today!).

Terry@ iluvmybugs said...

What a pretty quilt...love the colors! I would call it "Color My World". Congrats on having Connecting Threads as your latest sponsor Connie!

What a generous giveaway..I'd have to choose the Summer Sampler. Thanks for the chance.

Lisa Marie said...

I love your quilt! The first name that came to me is Woven Rainbows. The batiks in the giveaway are gorgeous. The Summer 2012 Sampler is my first choice and the Light & Bright a close second. Thanks for the chance to win!

Dora, the Quilter said...

Beautiful! Frankly, it's a toss-up between the Summer Sampler and the Light & Bright sampler.

I love your quilt and the quilting.
I'm mulling over a name like Summer Sky and Blossoms (or maybe in the opposite order). I'll be excited to see what you choose to name it.

Lovely how your batik quilt matches your petunias. Maybe "Petunia Paths"?

Leah said...

I love Connecting Threads! I buy my thread from them and have just now started collecting batik from them as well. I only have a few right now so one of these bundles would be perfect, but the Summer 2012 is right up my alley. :)

Kiera Vanella said...

I don't want to enter the giveaway but just comment on how beautiful the quilt is! Another great finish Connie! And congrats on your new Sponsor...I can't think of anyone more deserving!!

violet said...

Lovely! Your quilt reminds me of that M.C. Escher piece, with the impossible staircase that just keeps on going. So maybe something to do with stairs? And my personal favorite is the Summer collection, but they are all gorgeous :)

Kathy said...

Oh wow! I have promised my goddaughter a quilt and she wants it made out of batiks. Rich and Muted are her colors! Thanks for the giveaway!

Lights and Brights for me. I like the white centers that you start with a partial seam. Love that all the blocks can be the same... "Summer Swirl"

Can't decide! Love them all! Love batiks better than anything! But if i need to pick one to be eligible to win, rich and muted gets my vote.

I am just discovering quilting with batiks. I love the color and pattern variations. I like "off the wall" names for things. How about "A Square Block in a Batik Hole" I really like your design. Thanks for sharing.

Kathy said...

I have yet to use batiks in my quilts. They are so beautiful and I do not know why I have not jumped into them yet. Your help would be appreciated!

Rich and Muted is my favorite. I love the colors of the earth that God created.

Mimi said...

Wow! Connecting Threads is incredible - great sponsor too, lucky you! I thought of the name "Woven Treasures" for that gorgeous quilt... can't wait for the tutorial. I love all the Batik samplers, it is to difficult to chose a favorite!

Linda B. said...

I forgot to say which batiks I like. I guess it would be the first sampler. I am making quilts for my 15 month old twin grandsons and those would work well with the other fabrics I have collected.

katrina thompson said...

I would be glad to have any of them bit the summer2012 one would be my choice! Craft_tri@yahoo.com.

Your quilt reminds me of the Stevie Wonder song, "Ribbon in the Sky". So pretty!

I just adore the Light and Bright fabrics.

Connecting Threads fabric has a very nice feel. I have been looking at the Rich & Muted Batiks. They would be perfect for a quilt for my sister and her new fiance as a wedding gift.

CeLynn Peeler said...

Wow,talk about a tough decision! The margin between summer 2012 and Rich & muted is very slim,but summer 2012 would be my first choice.

Thank you Connie,Thank you Connecting Threads!!!

As for a name for your beautiful quilt... how about rainbow park ?

Heather W. said...

Definitely in LOVE with the Summer 2012 Collection! They look fun, bright, and tropical! Thanks for the having the giveaway!

Dawn said...

Oh my gosh! Do we really have to choose?!! I am a Batik junkie plus a Fat Quarter junkie so, this is a super giveaway for me!! I really like them all but, I think I would choose "Rich and Muted" first, "Light and Bright" second and "Summer 2012" third. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck, Everyone! P.S. I find your quilt very calming so, how about "Calmin' Weave"?

Ali said...

I was going to say Celtic something because..I don't know why! I have no imagination! but CeLynn's suggestion of rainbow park is very pretty!

I think I like the Light & Bright sampler best, lovely colors.

Heather said...

Drool...these would be perfect for the landscape quilting projects I'm starting. The Rich & Muted has got some great landscape colors.

stichnRN said...

i like the light and bright pack. so springy in colors!!!!!

Hillbilly Tonya said...

I would have such a hard time deciding between light and bright and rich and muted.

I actually only found connecting threads a few months ago and bought some fabric. So cute! When their new collections came out I had to drool. I know you are getting many comments so you might not reply but if you find the time...tell me, how are their solids? Do you like the quality?

Andee said...

The third one with the brighter colors is my favorite!

Quilt n Queen said...

WOW what a sponsor you have!! Light and Bright FQ Sampler would be pretty awesome, but if I'm lucky enough to win I know a beautiful quilt would be made with any of the FQ samplers. Thanks for the chance!!

Anonymous said...

I like all of Connecting Threads batiks, but I think my favorite of these three samplers is the Summer 2012. As for a name for your quilt, how about Color Weave? Thanks for the opportunity to win some beautiful batiks. Sharon - ssauser@dishmail.net

Linda said...

All are beautiful fabrics, but I think I would choose the summer 2012 batiks. Great giveaway.

Cyn ;-) said...

Soooo hard to choose, but Rich and Muted is calling my name. lol. Thank you, Connie; and thank you, Connecting Threads!
A name for your new beauty? How about "Woven Rainbow", or "Woven Batik Rainbow". Your darling quilt looks like a rainbow to me and b/c of the clever way you handled the values, it looks woven... at least to me it does.
Good luck, everyone!

Quilter said...

I would love the summer bundle

~ Julie ~ said...

Your quilt is beautiful! I love the pattern, the fabric, the quilting . . . everything!

Thanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful fabric!!! :)

I have to admit I'm a big batik fan! All of them are terrific! To choose one is hard. But the one speaking to me is summer batiks. Love your blog!

Pam at Antique or Not said...

What a great opportunity! I love Connecting Threads fabrics, but haven't tried the batiks yet. I'd love a chance at the Rich and Muted collection.

Thanks!

Andrea said...

Love your quilt!!! And I believe I like the Light & Bright best, and the Summer selection is a very close second choice. I love the colors you used...which sampler was it from?

Pam said...

Hiya, I love your quilt. I think it should have a name with something about a Weave or Woven in it. I love Connecting Threads, got a box of their stuff sitting in the middle of my living room floor right now, lol. All three of the collections are beautiful, but I think I'd choose the Light and Bright as my favorite. Thank you for the giveaway. Blessed be, hugs!!!

Instantly thought of "Heaven Awaits" for the name of your quilt. Really beautiful. I love the baltic warm fall colors on the choices for the giveaway! :)

If I'm selected, I'd have to go for the Summer 2012 batik collection. I've been drooling over it for some time :-)

Denise Russell said...

Love the quilt! You might call it Painter's Garden! As for the Batiks... oh... the Rich and Muted collection would be wonderful!

I my gosh! I'm supposed to choose the one I would like the most?!?! It's like trying choose a favorite ice cream....almost impossible. I love batiks.....all batiks. I think I would have to choose the springy colors this time because I love the still unnamed sample quilt you made.
