So tell me - what's better than finishing a quilt???
Finishing TWO quilts, of course!!!!!!!
That's right, I made two - one for you and one for me. Back in May, I won a fat quarter bundle of Snippets from Kelly at Charming Chatter. After I decided I wanted a simple patchwork quilt, I started cutting and found I had enough for two quilts. So now, I'm giving one away!
The quilt measures 60"x75".
It's backed with a sheet, the batting is a flannel sheet. Lightweight but cozy and washable.
This is a utility quilt, meant to be used - I have no mad quilting skills to show off, lol! It's a hug from me to you.
So what are the rules? Very simple, there are only two:
1. Leave a comment on this post.
2. DO NOT POST ABOUT IT.
That's right, don't put it on your blog. This give-away is for my regular readers and followers. Which of course greatly enhances your chance of winning!
So read the edit on my previous post to make sure I can reply to you, and leave me a comment here. This is open to everyone - whether you live down the street or down under, or across the pond. I will pick a winner on Black Friday, the day after our Thanksgiving holiday, November 27. Good luck!

Allieoops, the quilt is lovely. Some of the blocks look strangly familiar, like I had clothes made from them in grade school. Love your blog.

I love your quilts, and the flannel sheet for the backing is so perfect. You are so so so generous to be giving one away :) Don’t you like the fabrics? They are adorable.
Oh Allie, I love that fabric! The quilt is just toooo cute! Thanks for making two. Please enter me in your very sweet giveaway. And congrats on 100 posts!
Such bright and cheerful quilts! I'd love to have one of those! Congratulations on 100 posts! And thanks for the giveaway! :0)
ooooooooooooooo....I LOVE Snippets, and I love your flannel filled quilt, and I love your beautiful and generous heart, Allie-friend!!!
I would dearly love a piece of my far away friend to cuddle into when I'm tired and lonely...
Okay - woo hoo - count me in Allie. The quilts are adorable! Don't you just love it when you wind up with enough fabric left over to make an extra (especially when the fabric was won)? The flannel sheet backing will make it extra cozy too :)
YAY!!! I love it! Happy 100. I hope for 100 more.
NO WAY!!! I remember when you won that bundle & was wondering what you were going to make. They look warm & snuggly! I just LOVE the patchwork look. Congrats on your 100th post!
I love the look of your quilts. I am not a real quilter but do other crafts and love quilts. I hope I win.
What a nice thing to make 2 quilts and give one away! Very generous of you and much appreciated by all your cyber-friends.
Congratulations! on 100 posts. I have enjoyed reading your blog.
You made a quilt for me?! lol A great giveaway someone is going to love.
Oh!! What will the majic number be?? I could sure use a darling cuddly quilt to keep me warm. I love those snippets too. Selfish as it may seem....you know I want to win!
hugs, Terri
It is really sweet and generous of you to share the "Snippets" hugs with your readers. They both look so comfy to snuggle in with. Congrats on your 100 posts! I'm still amazed at the idea that we can communicate with like-minded people in blog land and win wonderful fabric and more. Amazing!
OH! How wonderful! I can picture it now...in my car. It would be used in the winter for warmth and summer for picnics. What a fabulous give-away, Allie!
Congrats on 100 post, AllieCat!
Congrats on your 100th post! I love the idea of keeping one for yourself and giving away the other one. I'll gladly enter your giveaway :^)
Well done for finishing 2 quilts and congrats on 100 posts. I'd love to join in on the fun. May you make many more huggle quilts and posts :0)
Allie, this is a beyond generous gift. To own something handmade by you would be such a treasure.
I can not be entered, though, because recently I've had a number of gifts sent my way and have had more than my share.
I do plan on having a giveaway too - and like you - just for my regular readers. Probably in the Spring near my anniversary.
Well how nice of you to share not only part of the fabric you won, but to take the time to make it into a quilt, thanks so much, would love to win, but thanks anyway if I don't, grin. BarbM
That quilt would be so great at my place, Allie. I'd spend even more time than I do now curled up on the couch with a book, stroking the quilt on these hot days, or wrapped in it in winter. Lovely work, Allie, and a lovely thought to share the spare!
I love how you set-up your giveaway! Aren't we all lucky to be regular readers? The quilts are so pretty and you did a wonderful job on them.
What cheerful, 'cuddlesome' quilt Allie! So good of you to share and offer a hug too, - could do with one of those just now ! Congratulations on 100 posts!!.....Luv AJ
I just like the reference to borg's and Star Trek.... lost me there somewhere but get the idea.
I have to be very practial and have things that work, not just things that look great in a shop or show room, great that you have thought "USEABLE"
I can't believe you are giving this away......... talent with a pencil as well as a needle...I'm gushing sorry....beautifully well done. (and well thought out about your entries) x x x
Sweet of you to share your talents!
Hi. Congrats with your 100 post and

Gorgeous! And thanks for the chance to win! I love the idea of flannel for batting, I might just try that next! They look just like a quilt I have been envisioning making
Congratulations on your 100 posts!! I think I have read all 100 of them! Love your blog....and I'm not just sucking up because I love the quilt you are giving away! Although I do love it! I don't know how you can part with it...Keep those posts coming...here's to the next 100!

100 posts - that's so wonderful, Allie! It's been fun getting to know you. Oh, I love it - talk about a fabulous quilt for napping! I want to win this quilt - I love the Snippets line of fabric. I'm going to cross everything I have to cross - fingers, toes, legs, arms and eyes (did I miss anything?)
(Hugs)
Oh my! They are both adorable, and you are so generous!
Congratulations on your 100th post! I look forward to the next 100.

Allie...congrats!! What darling quilts. I love that fabric line and never got my hands on any! I'd love to win. It is the perfect snuggling up size, too. Sorry I have been so absent lately. Work and work related matters have kept me hopping and tired lately.
I love the quilt or should I say 2 quilts! Yes, please put me in your give away. By the way, I practiced a few stitches yesterday. I need to practice but I am determined. Congrats on your 100th!

Put me in the draw please. I would love to have a new (utility) quilt. I will put it on the ground under the shade of a big old tree to beat the heat from our long hot aussie summer. Already reaching mid 30's here and I'm on top of a mountain range.
Congrats on 100 posts.
Love the quilt. And love the idea that half of the materials you won will now be finding another home as a quilt! Amazing journey.
These quilts make me want to cuddle up on the sofa and watch a good Hallmark channel movie! ;o) They are so sweet and cozy looking. Congratulations on 100!

Did I miss it? I've been so busy quilting my own thing. I want so badly to win a quilt, because I never have time to make myself one. I'm always quilting for other people. It would be nice to have something (especially from you) of my VERY OWN. And no, I'm not sucking up. I like you. I really, really like you. :)
