What beautiful fabric and I would love to make a quilt for my 2 grand-daughters. The oldest one loves to help with projects and I'm sure she would love to help and say she helped to make her own quilt.

I would totally make the Kaleidoscope quilt I saw someone make with these fabrics. They are so adorable!!

I would use the stack to make some fun totes for my friends and for me! The patterns are awesome and would be great to work with.

Such a fun stack! I would give it to my mom who is a huge quilter! She is always making me things like a cover for my sewing machine. She is now into making purses.Maybe she would make one with this fun stack!

A granddaughter of a quilter, I am teaching my children this art in hopes that they will pass the legacy to their children and grandchildren <3 Fly A Kite fabric will create a vibrant beautiful quilt (and of course a scrapbook page using Go Fly A Kit will be created to document) !
Thank you for this opportunity ....

Oh those are gorgeous fabrics....I would love to make a quilt with these fabrics...the colours and designs are all gorgeous. An October Afternoon - Fly a Kite quilt sounds pretty good to me.

I have been eyeing this line, I just love it! The damasks, polka dots and tiny florals are just adorable accent fabrics! I just received the new Quilting Modern book and would love to use it in the "Strip Tease" pattern.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!

I would like to make a wall hanging for my scrap room. The fabrics are colorful and would add whimsy to my space.

Wow how awesome that it's now in fabric. If I won the stack, I would make some super fab mini albums, and definitely a cute apron. That would be perfect for it!

I had no idea that you made this line into fabric. You are geniuses. If I won, I'd make some placemats for my patio table. I like to have tea parties, and the colors match my new paint job on my house. THANKS!

I would like to make a small triangles banner, decorate the front of an apron, and make a quilt for my niece's doll.

I would make a funky dance bag for my 2 girls' cheerleading uniforms.

As avid lovers of scrapbooking and quilting, my bestie and I are planning to make matching quilts and this would be the perfect fabric! We joke that we'll need them when we end up in the nursing home together some day. Very nicely done. Big fans of fabric and scrapbook paper too.

I am in the middle of a quiet book for my son, and I have another on the way. These prints would be so perfect! I could use these for sooo much more as well for my babes AND me! I'd love to make some co-ordinating pieces for my sewing room to get it a bit more organized! :D

As a quilter, I see great potential for OA to be in the fabric business. I find your papers delightful for scrapbooking--but often I have remarked, this would be striking in a quilt. I am excited to see your product in my two favorite stores now... the Scrapbook store and the Quilt Shoppe!
Thank you for making life even more fun!
Blessings

That's so cool! I've always been a huge fan of the papers at OA and now that it's in fabric, I can marry my love of scrapbooking with my love for making fabric crafts! Definitely will use it for little pouches and snap purses, and also for album covers and bible covers :)
