I have two copies of Modern Patchwork 2013 Spring Magazine that I am pairing with three fat quarters from Freespirit: one each from the new Botanical, True Colors by Joel Dewberry and Designer Essentials Solids collections.
This issue of Modern Patchwork is out of stock but never fear, I have two copies that I am willing to part with. It has so many great projects you won't know which one to make first! For me it is a toss-up between Alyssa Lichner's 'retro rubies wall hanging' and Jacquie Gering's 'lava lamp revisited' quilt.
Please leave me a comment with your favorite solid color to quilt with and why, your name and contact information (if it isn't connected to your profile) and I will draw two winners on Tuesday November 26th by 9pm PST. Thanks for visiting! Good luck! Happy Hopping!

ReplyDeleteI've really been drawn to teals and aquas lately (and they go so great with gray). Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThis may seem silly, but i often end up adding solid black to my quilts; I think quilt designs benefit from having "light lights" and "dark darks" along with whatever else is in the mix.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is bright orange and I use it a lot in my quilts. Orange just compliments so many colors and it is bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteLove kona ash.
ReplyDeleteI've been using lots of white and creme but I really like grey. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite solid is coral. I don't really have a reason why other than I just love the color.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful giveaway! I love using cream or gray since everything seems to go with those colors.
ReplyDeleteOnly one?White.Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI don't often choose a solid colour because I prefer tone on tone and it seems that white is a favoured choice because it makes the colours in a quilt pop!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteGray...it goes sew well with many colors. Thnx for the nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI find that I use red in my quilt quite often. I don't think I'm doing it on purpose but I don't think I've made a quilt that didn't have solid read jelly roll strips in them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun blog you have! I enjoyed looking at all of your projects. My favorite solid is gray - it makes all the other colors pop! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love using white - it just makes everything so bright! I've been on a gray kick lately though... probably just the seasonal depression setting in haha

ReplyDeleteI like to use black as a background color. I
ReplyDeleteI use beige/tan very often.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
One??? Oh my, it seems I have a color of the moment crisis. When I look at my unfinished tops, I do see a lot of green so I must be drawn more strongly to green...Okay, I'll say GREEN! Nope, too late to change it...don't backspace... let it be I tell you! Okay, green it is. BTW, it's slightly evil of you to tease us with the possibilities of what you can make in the magazine...I think I like you :) .... oh my, way too much coffee already this morning.
ReplyDeleteI most often quilt with kona snow or some form of gray. I use them as background fabrics on most of my quilts is the why.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have not worked in solids- lots of tone on tone but not solids- how fun it would be to win this magazine- I am a more traditional quilter so it is great to go outside my comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteRegards from Alberta,
Anna
White or black because it is so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI've only made a few quilts so far, and the colors were geared towards what they liked. So it has been red, green, and purple so far. But I love blues, and am gathering for my own blue quilt one day.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color to use is "Sage Green". God has painted such a pretty picture daily using the color "Green" so it seems I can somehow work it in with whatever I am making.
ReplyDeleteLime green because it's my most fave color.
ReplyDeleteSewgirlee@gmail.com
Gray - it is a great neutral that seems to be ubiquitous these days!
ReplyDeleteI love a good grey as it is neutral and will pair with about any of my other favorite colors- like orange.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite solid colour to quilt with is blue. No reason, except I love the colour! :o)

I like to use prints with white as the solid color!
ReplyDeletenicolesender(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love the colour purple but my daughter loves pink so I use more pink than purple as she is the one who I do the most sewing with and for. I wish I had more time to sew for myself but I want to encourage her love of sewing and craft so I do what she wants first.
ReplyDeleteI love Kona Steel - bright, modern colors seem to pop off this color so well! Thanks for the great giveaway chance!

I like blue the best! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite solid color is white. So fresh and clean looking
ReplyDeleteI LOVE purple....but then again, you don't often quilt with purple, so the next best all-around quilting color would be off-white/cream.
ReplyDeleteI love deep reds. I don't know why but that colour always pops up in my quilts
ReplyDeleteI love ocean colors, but think I would like to try coral. Thank you for participating in this fun party.
ReplyDeleteI'm jumping on the grey bandwagon because it just looks good with everything. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love black to pop the other colors. I use it sparingly, but use it. Another one is cobalt blue
ReplyDeleteI like gray - it seems to compliment a lot of colors <3
ReplyDeleteIt really does vary depending on my vision for the project. Right now I'm using a beautiful caramel coloured solid with a range of cranberry and cream fabrics (almost sounds like a dessert). Only that caramel would have worked here. Thanks for the chance to win such a terrific giveaway.
ReplyDeleteKona Nautical -- makes a great background to make colours pop.
ReplyDeleteljridge4511 (at) gmail (dot) com
I probably use white the most. Black and Navy Blue are a strong second because I think they make other colors POP.
ReplyDeleteI've never looked at this magazine. I'd love to get a chance to. My favorite solid is gray. I like how it sets off so many other colors and that the gray itself can cover such a wide range.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite solids are white or aqua or red. I love them all as they make everything else stand out. White makes everything pop, Aqua is so calming and depending on the saturation works with so many other colors and red makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteBlue I guess because it's my favorite color. But I don't like too much to work with solids, I prefer fun fabric with prints :) thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to white with red,very classical and the quilting shows up so well on the white.
ReplyDeleteMy fave solid color is cream. I am a passionate free motion quilter and I use a lot of cream which defines the negative space in which to quilt. Thanks for the chance to win your lovely giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI am a Sagittarius and love the warmer colours, with orange being my absolute favourite. Thank you for a chance to win your wonderful giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy absolute favorite solid is turquoise. I love it paired with orange too. So funny because my favorite color is red, and I do love red fabrics, but whenever I go to choose any fabrics it's always the turquoise ones that I go to first. I've never really appreciated orange much, but for some reason just love it now with turquoise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the blog hop.

I love white or pink. Easy to blend with the colors of my quilt
ReplyDeleteAWESOME giveaway!! My fave solid is teal. Teal represents cervical cancer, and it became my favorite shade of blue when my sister was diagnosed. Sadly, she passed, but I love to see it because it reminds me that shes with me :) Thanks for the chance to win!
