Set the Table from Martingale

It is a

GIVEAWAY

blog

post!

if you read the last blog post

you'll understand why I am bursting with pride

Set the Table

(this is a wholesale info sheet - you can get your copy at www.martingale-pub.com)

yep, that's my name up there!!!

I thought I might make my own table runner

from the book

using some different colors than the ones shown

you know, something for the house...something for now...and something from

"mornings with Buddy"

color schemes

 there is this burnt orange accent running around my house, so I started pulling all of my orange scraps
even pulling some leftover hexes that I had cut
then I threw in some blue, just any big contrast I could find

the key to the design that I did for this book
is to have a big color punch for the "sprinkle"

as I was working with the colors on the chair,
I noticed the heavy hand blown vases and the glass floats on the table
hmmmm.....beach glass colors 

out came the greys and the great acid greens in Boho Vibe

from Stephanie (A Quilters Dream) by ee Schenck 

 which made me think about those new grey Kona cottons
mixed with Hoffman California Fabrics acid green yellow
(this would be a lot of good contrast, I thot)

and then it hit me
where was the orange that I started with???!?

there they were on the table with all of the new fabrics
for International Quilt Festival, Long Beach
august 2-4
maybe mostly turq and a little burnt orange would work for my summer runner

take a look at the book, and the projects 
leave a comment
telling me which project you think I might have designed
(no cheating)
and which color scheme you like the best

and you will be entered in a random number generator drawing
one person will receive an e-book
copy of
Set the Table
thank you, Martingale!!

this week I will keep working on developing these color schemes
pop over to facebook or instagram
to take a look at my progress on this project

but leave your comments here on the blog for the giveaway

look for the blog post next week 
let's say saturday the 20th?  afternoon?
to see who will be making their own new table runners from this fun book
