  29. Oh man. How lovely!
    I would likely split this amazing pack with my mama who taught me to quilt. We don't live in the same state anymore, so it would be fun to work on matching quilts, or, even better, to work separately on pieces for a combined patchwork!
    I'm currently working in brown, orange, rose, and mint. But my heart beats quickly over those wines and navy blues.

    I learned how to sew when I was about seven years old. Over time, I acquired other interests and sewing projects were forgotten, and my sewing skills were reduced to only the basics. Recently I graduated from college, and as a graduation gift my mother bought me a new Brother sewing machine! My love for sewing was instantly rekindled, and I am constantly inspired by the numerous sewing crafts and DIY's out there. With this fabric I would make a lot of the sewing projects I've found and pinned on Pinterest - Ipod or card pouches, festive bunting decorations, etc. My favorite color combination is grey and lavender! And my email is alexandra.varone@colorado.edu

    If I win (and after I stop crying happy tears) I would love to incorporate these fabrics into my first ever handmade quilt in progress, just in time for winter to roll around. And I'd use the rest to make some things for my friends first apartment.

    I love dark blues and mustard yellows right now. But it's hard to choose just ONE color combo.
