My first give away!!

Ok – so I didn’t sign up for Sew Mama Sew’s give away day, but when I woke up this morning and started to read all of my usual crafty blogs, I was wracked with guilt and a desire to be a part of it all! So I’m having a give away too!!

See all this fabric in this photo?!? I think that MAYBE there’s enough there to make you a mini quilt! Beans, my cat, agrees.

Give away

Just leave me a comment with your favorite color combination and one lucky winner will get a mini quilt made by me in those colors. Good luck!

Quick edit: Clearly I’m new to this and forgot to mention how long it will last. Let’s say 12:00 PM (pacific time) on Friday the 5th!

    I think you may be green and redded out, so I’ll pick a third color for the combo – blue.

  2. Stephanie Says:

    Your sweet! I love blue/green but I’m also loving red/pink. Sometimes I have a hard time making decisions. :o ) I’m having a give away too and didn’t even know about the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day. Mine ends today…in case you want to enter.

  3. nettie Says:

    i love orange– with anything. i actually like a combination of colors that one normally wouldn’t think to put together.

  4. Linda Says:

    I love anything pink, also red and white. How sweet of you to jump in with the giveaway.

  5. Aleks Says:

    Oh man…. you might be inspiring me to do the same thing today…. oy. But of course I have to put my hat in to try to win one of your beautiful quilts! I love the green/blue/pink combo of the apple fabric along with Amy Butler’s lotus (I think it’s lotus) pink flowers! Oooh so cute.

  6. allison Says:

    I love all the blues, greens, and teal type colors.

  7. Erin Says:

    Right now I’m loving turquoise and red together … my best friend just made a gorgeous quilt with these colors and it looks wonderful!

  8. Doris Says:

    I love aqua and red as a combo, but seriously, I like any of the fabrics pictured here and wouldn’t complain about any of them in my quilt…

  9. Allison Says:

    I love all that fabric, you have a great stash! I love the blue’s browns and greens, or just about anything else! Great giveaway! Allison

  10. krommama Says:

    oooh, count me in! i love blue and green together, but i would equally love to be surprised!

  11. Michelle Says:

    You’re awesome for participating on the side! I like pretty much everything except for excessive amounts of green… And Beans reminds me a bit of one of my cats (you can see what I mean here: http://dlphn.blogspot.com/2008/09/sewvester.html) – maybe a little obnoxious at times, but so darn cute he’s forgiven instantly!

  12. MichelleB Says:

    Right now it happens to be pink. But, as I’m sure you know, color combo favorites change all the time. Even in a single day they can change multiple times.

  13. Cami Says:

    Such great fabics! Is the kitty included? :-) My newest favorite color combination is gray and orange. But I really love pinks.

  14. Marissa Says:

    The pinks and blues are catching my eye, I love all those fabrics. You have a great stash!

  15. Nancy Says:

    Would love an Alissa orginal in Red and White….or brown and blue….or orange and cream….or anything else!! LOL

  16. Jill Says:

    Right now I love blue, green and brown together. Good thing I have 2 boys.

  17. knittinginpink Says:

    Pinks and reds, can’t go wrong with those two colors! Maybe with a bit of aqua as accent color ; )

  18. Sarah Says:

    I’ve been trying to get into pinks lately. I’m feeling guilty about being give-away-less today too. Oops!

  19. nanann Says:

    hmmm, I don’t see much green on there, but I would say pink and green.

    and how ’bout the guilt from those of us who are completely blogless?? Still doesn’t stop me from signing up for some of the give-aways though. :) you’ll be happy to know that that I’m not trying for all the giveaways — I have to be excited about the prize, and I’m excited about yours!

  20. Marit Says:

    You are very generous. I do like blue….

  21. Ginger Says:

    I have a five month old girl. So whatever you do is fine. great fabrics!

  22. Christina Says:

    I know what you mean about “feeling guilty”…i’m there, too. But I just don’t think I have the time to host one right now. So I guess i’ll just have to play along in the comments. :) Another mini quilt for the walls in the craft room would be wonderful! I love all bright and cheery colors! I can never pick just a few.

  23. Asia Says:

    Teal and brown is just delicious!! Thank you for taking the time to blog. I’m in desperate need of things to do during my work day, and for some reason, reading blogs is more apprpriate than bringing my craft projects with me to work. :)

  24. sarah Says:

    i am loving pink and grey and blue and grey right now. I am making some baby blankets for gifts and just love the combos.

  25. seemommysew Says:

    How sweet. :) I love green or orange…you always pick such pretty colors, everything you do!

  26. Tine Says:

    That is one beautiful looking bunch of fabric :) I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!

  27. anina Says:

    That’s so nice of you!
    Anything with pink will work just fine with me.

  28. Carrie Says:

    With all the family holiday hubbub, I wasn’t able to participate in the SMS giveaway either. Wow, a mini quilt handmade by Alissa is really going to make someone’s day!

  29. Edie Says:

    I seem to be in an orange and pink phase (that used to sound really bad to me, but right now it is just perfect).

  30. Dana Says:

    How sweet of you! I like browns and blues!
    Dana

  31. Beth Says:

    Wow, what fun. I am such a fan of your quilt goodness.
    Colors, I am loving greens and blues and oranges.

  32. Karen Says:

    I was thinking you were going to give away the fabric scraps- not a whole little quilt!
    I love blues and browns…. also pinks and browns…. also anything red and purple.

  33. Shannon Says:

    I like green with anything, but my current favorite combo is green and blue.

  34. Rebecca Says:

    So very generous of you! Pink and red!

  35. Stacy Says:

    Pink and green is my all time favorite. And, your cat is so cute!

  36. John Says:

    What a great giveaway! I’d love to win. As for favorite color combos, here are a few of my favorites: orange & grey, orange & light blue, light blue & khaki, orange & pink (can you tell I like orange?) and a new favorite: red & teal. But any combo made from that fabric pile would be just fine! : )

  37. Sandy Says:

    Love those blues and greens! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

  38. craftjunkie Says:

    I love yellows. Alas, I never win anything. :)

  39. Rita Says:

    You make the most beautiful quilts and you have such a great eye for colors and fabrics! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity! I would love if you would make whatever makes you happy :)

  40. LauraJ Says:

    Now this is a fun giveaway!! ME ME ME ??!!

    oops forgot to say aqua and orange as cool colour combo!

  41. caitlyn Says:

    You have such a great eye for color combos, this is a little intimidating. :) That linen is catching my eye… it would look great with a bright green or blue.

    I’m also redoing my baby room, so anything with sage would be perfect….

  42. terriaw Says:

    What a cool giveaway idea! I have been into the pink and brown color combination lately. Thanks for the chance!

  43. Katie Says:

    oh, a chance to win a quilt made by you!??! count me in! right now I’m loving aqua and red, although everything you make is beautiful ;)

  44. mommymae Says:

    red and light aqua are on my radar these days, but i’m not sure if i saw them…so if i win, i’ll take a rainbow ’cause that’s pretty, too!

  45. Amber Says:

    I did the same thing too :-) At least maybe your regular readers will have more of a chance now.

    I’m up for anything – pink is always good.

  46. Robin (rsislandcrafts) Says:

    I think I would let Beans chose my color combo for me :)

  47. jody Says:

    I would love to win anything made by you Alissa…I definitely am a fan of your blog and love your designs! You are so talented and inspire me to sew!! As for the colours…I love pinks, reds and oranges…but honestly anything would absolutely be fantastic! I have an 8 month old daughter who is need of a quilt!! :)
    Happy Holidays to you & Beans!

  48. Ashley Says:

    Hi Alissa! Great giveaway idea! I don’t think I have to tell you what colors I like… I’ve loved everything you’ve made and all your color combos, so I’d be open to anything (I never win these though!)

  49. Kat Says:

    Oh, how nice of you! I’m really loving the saffron piece that’s sticking out of the middle of the box. I would love a quilt with that, and I think it would look good with a number of other colors. Blue, or pink…whatever you advise.

  50. Tara Says:

    I love red and turquoise. And blue and green. And I love your cutie cat!! Dec. 5th is mine and my husbands 5 month wedding anniversary…how wonderful it would be to win on that day!!

  51. dewdropbabbleson Says:

    Cami sent me. Blues and greens or pinks and browns. Ooh, or aqua and brown. Honestly, whatever you’ve got.

  52. MamaChanga Says:

    I love the combination of pink and brown, or pink and greens. Whatever color combination would be nice if I won however!

    Hugs & Blessings!

  53. christina Says:

    Pink and green!

  54. Whitney Says:

    My sister, Ashley, is a huge fan of your blog and recommended I sign up for your giveaway…that is, since I’ve begged her to make me a quilt and she’s tired of hearing me ask, she thought that maybe if I won yours, pressure would be off. Greens and blues together are typically my favorite. Thanks!

  55. Audrey Says:

    I love red and turquoise and blues and greens, and pinks and browns. You could decide! Thanks for having the giveaway!

  56. amandajean Says:

    pink and green!!!

    your pile of fabric is gorgeous. :)

  57. tasha Says:

    hi! you are so talented and i love getting inspiration from crafty people like you. how nice to be doing a giveaway! my fav color combo right now is pink, red and aqau! i am due in a couple months with a baby girl so i think it would be a fun addition to her room. :)

  58. Corinne Says:

    how generous you are and how greedy am i . my budget has said “nay” to all of these phenomenally cool new fabrics but i drool ceaselessly. my only complaint is that you’re featuring a fabric with dirty orange/rust in it .

    i’m a big lover of greens, blues, black and white and gray. but i think my stash is rather stale so go ahead and throw your bonanza at me and i promise i won’t duck .

    cheers and blessings of the season on you…

  59. Tonya S. Says:

    Color combo-let’s see–love purple! But any colors would be great in this dreary, no sun weather!!

  60. Paula Says:

    Green and white is my favorite combo right now! Lovely scraps, btw!

  61. rambusch Says:

    My favorite colors are brown and pink. Of course, teal is a great color too.

    Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

  62. Alison Says:

    I love bright pink with light brown or deep chocolate brown with pale pink! But I have also always been partial to the colors of the sea.

  63. Sandy Says:

    Oh my I love them all but brown/blues have caught my eye. Thank you.

  64. Amy @ parkcitygirl Says:

    How fun! I love pink/orange combos or pink/red – I’m a pink girl :)

  65. Lily Says:

    Red + aqua = Yum! :)

  66. Janice Kuntz Says:

    orange, teal (or blue), brown. Love most warm colors though!

  67. Carrie Says:

    I love odd and unlikely combos of colors that make their way into a scrappy quilt. Oh, and anything with green.

  68. Bridget Says:

    I love deep brown with lots of things, but especially green

  69. deb Says:

    I would love to win a scrappy quilt. I love so many color combos that it’s hard to limit myself to one. But I see that snippet of apple fabric in your stash–the one with the aqua background with the green, pink and brown apples–and I think it would make a lovely color combo for a quilt.

  70. Sylvie Says:

    I just loooove pink but I recently discovered the charm of other colours, like chocolate brown…
    Anything without green would delight me actually!
    Thank you for the giveaway.

  71. Donna Says:

    Pinks & green or blue & green……but whatever you choose would be just fine by me.

  72. Renee Says:

    What a generous giveaway! My favorite colour combo is pink and green :)

  73. Janis Says:

    I like anything except purple. Orange, pink and red would maybe be my top picks. :)

  74. Steph Says:

    I just love this idea. I don’t yet have a blog, but feel like I’m part of the community by reading so many crafty blogs everyday… including yours.

    This is very generous of you and I’d love to put my hat in the ring. My favorites are red/orange/pink.

    Happy Holidays!

  75. Randi Says:

    Lately I am loving apple green + pink.

    What a great giveaway!

  76. linda k Says:

    love red and pink!!! and orange and purple and green…..

  77. Betsy Says:

    I’m loving teal and red right now!

  78. maya Says:

    pink and green? orange and pink? blue and purple? I’m so psyched for the lucky winner — you’re amazing to do this.

  79. Liz Says:

    Green and Brown these days…
    Earthy and natural!

  80. Susan Says:

    oh, how pretty. I’m into reds & oranges.

  81. Tricia Says:

    I like orange,grey,brown…but I’ve been reading your blog for long enough now to know that I’ll like anything you put together!
    Thanks for the giveaway!
    Tricia

  82. Nanna Says:

    Browns and blues (and a hint of green and turquise) for me ;-)

  83. adina Says:

    So many choices, pink would be great but also blues and browns. If I get it you can pick I guess. Your work is great. Thanks for sharing.

  84. Jane Says:

    Wow! Very generous indeed!
    My favorite color combo is turquoisey blue and red. Denise Schmidt had the perfect fabric in Flea Market Fancy that sold out like hotcakes before I was able to ever purchase any! That fabric is a good example of the colors I love!
    I enjoy your blog very much and have linked it to my blog!
    ~jane

  85. Sara Lynn Says:

    I like so many color combos, how to choose??? Pink with brown and green or blues I think. All so yummy!

  86. Michelle Says:

    WOW! what a great bunch to add to my stash! (that is if I’m lucky enough to win!) I’m loving pinks and oranges for girlies and greens and blues for the little guys!

  87. Deb Says:

    Oh my — I love blues and greens, purples… thanks so much for the fantabulous giveaway!!!

  88. Tammy V. Says:

    I think you should let Beans pick out his/her favorite fabrics – then make the quilt and have a give away!! I LOVE fabric and any color/print combo is good made into a quilt. What a good idea it is to put quilt blocks on the back too. I also like how you quilted a pattern on the back so the quilt can be folded down on the bed and show more quilting. I might have to try that on a quilt….
    Love all your quilts!!

  89. Amy Says:

    Oooo! I love fall colors- anything with oranges, reds, yellows, and hints of green. :) I’m so excited to see what you come up with, regardless of whether or not I win!

  90. jacquie Says:

    oooh lovely! how about blue and green, of course orange and pink is nice, but then again, i’m a sucker for red and aqua…hmmmm. maybe i should let you decide!

  91. Lauriewis Says:

    So lovely. I think may have just drooled (just a little bit) on my key board. I’m an aqua and chartreus green kind of gal. What a sweet, sweet giveaway!

  92. Abby Says:

    I’m a sucker for blue and white. Does white count? If not, lets go brown!

  93. Alana Says:

    I think someone might love their pinks as much as I do! I would love to own yet more stuff in pink!

  94. ofebers Says:

    I usually let the fabric dictate. I hate to pigeon hole my color choices!

  95. Marlene Says:

    I love the new blues and browns and ofcourse always pink. Thanks for a chance to win.

  96. Dallas Says:

    I’m not sure I could pick – they all look great. If I won, I’d just have you pick a bright cheery color. :)

  97. Viv Says:

    Chocolate and teal.

  98. Sarah Says:

    This is great! I love green and brown, but am open to whatever strikes your fancy!

  99. andrea Says:

    I love aqua and red lately! I can’t see the post picture because I’m @ work but if I wait until I get home, I’ll miss the chance all together! Thanks!!

  100. Laura Says:

    I love apple green and chocolate brown…or blue and brown…but you seem to have an excellent eye for putting quilts together so I”ll take what I can get. =)

  101. ellieheartslibraries Says:

    you have too much free time and i am totally jealous!!! i like brown :)

  102. beccama Says:

    I’d love one in pinks and browns. Great giveaway!
