The Great Outdoors Island Batik Blog Hop Week 4 & Giveaway

Wow, it's week 4 of the Island Batik blog hop, and I know my mind is reeling seeing all of the creativity in our circle. There is so much creativity, period, in QBL, aka Quilting Blog Land, isn't there? I've said all my life, too many books, not enough time, and that's is still oh SO TRUE, but now it also applies to quilts! And here we have give whole weeks, two to three posts per day of quilty inspiration and beautiful batiks! It's almost too much....na, one can never have too much quilty eye candy.
You will find the giveaway on Island Batik's blog, and giveaways at each of the bloggers' stops. My own is here!
This week we have five different newly released fabric collections from Island Batik showcased in projects. The name of each collection is in pink italics, and the blogs to visit who are showcasing the collection are beside it. Have fun, get inspired, and good luck in the giveaways!

Announcing the winner 

of my Free Motion Fantasy Giveaway post which was Thursday. Here's one of my two projects:

The fat quarter bundle of 8-10 of these beautiful fabrics goes to Barb of Mountain Quiltworks. She loves doing free motion leaves. So do I! Did a ton on my Island Batik 'Maple Leaf Rag' quilt for this hop--see link above. Barb has been contacted; can't wait to see what she does with her fabrics...but she's got a certain wedding quilt to finish first!
