Welcome to day six of the month long Jaftex blog hop! Never heard of Jaftex? It's the parent company of some of my favorite fabrics: Sudioe, Blank Quilting and Henry Glass fabrics.
Jaftex is celebrating it's 85th anniversary in style, with an amazing blog hop and giveaways each step of the way, as well as some really awesome grand prizes. (See below on how to win!)
30 bloggers were given a bundle of fabric with the directions: make something. Easy enough!
This is the bundle I received from the Fusion Illusion line from Blank Quilting.
As soon as I saw the bundle I started thinking of a rainbow quilt. And since I'm on a bit of a wedge kick right now, I decided to combine the two.
Here's my quilt Roy. (Named after my dad, and a nod to Roy G Biv!)
 |
| A little grainy. My photographer neglected to take any close ups. |
 |
| Here's a better photo. Ignore the water pump in the foreground. |
 |
| Here's a close up of the quilting. My guild-mates from the Baltimore Modern Quilt Guild will be shocked that I chose variegated thread! Quilted by Maria O'Haver. |
This quilt came together really quickly! I really love the results. I'm thinking of writing it up as a pattern. If you're interested, be sure to sign up for my newsletter on the side bar. You'll be the first to know when it's ready.
So, on to the giveaway! Would you like to win a bundle of Fusion Illusion?
Just leave me a comment below. What would you make with this awesome bundle? For an extra chance, follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then come back here and let me know that you do. (Sorry, US only please. However, if you're the winner and international, I'll send you a download of my Subway Art and a pattern. Deal?)

Gorgeous quilt! I've been wanting to make a large color wheel wall hanging for my quilt room and that sweet little bundle would be just perfect!
Absolutely stunning and I love the name Roy for it! I immediately thought of rainbows too when I saw the bundle. I would use these gorgeous fabrics to make a baby's rainbow quilt. I love baby quilts that use strong, bold colors. These fit the bill perfectly!
What not to make, this fabric is awesome. I need some fall toppers so I would make some toppers and appliqué some leaves on them

Such a cheerful bundle. Think I'd make a rainbow wedge (dresden plate) quilt for my daughter. Not sure what colour I'd "float" it on yet.

Heather, you don't have to include me in this giveaway (since I am one of the bloggers, too, with the same fabric), but I just wanted to tell you that your quilt is AWESOME! When I first got my fabric, I was thinking of a rainbow quilt, too, but then I worried about what pattern to use or if I should make my own. Yours is phenomenal!I LOVE it!
Wow, the quilt and the fabrics are amazing! Should I be lucky enough to win, I would use these fabrics for a lap quilt or mix them with other fabrics for several lap quilts. I'm making a big stack for Christmas and these fabrics would lead to lovely gifts. Thanks for the chance to win.

Your quilt is fantastic and I love the color saturation on this bundle! My daughter is to be married in two years and she and her fiancé love rainbow colors and this would be perfect for their Wedding Ring Quilt!
These are some great blender fabrics! I'm planning to join a guild this Fall and they're hosting a Rainbow quilt exhibit at a festival next year so if I won these the fabrics would go toward making a project for that. Now I need to start thinking about what pattern I'd use just in case I win!

Would I like to win a bundle of Fusion Illusion???? Would I ever!!!!! Brights are my absolute favorites. Love what you did with them.
This fabric is so beautiful and every project I've seen with it is super. I'm probably use it making a quilt or wall hanging since those are what I usually make. Thank you.
I like your project and you should certainly write a pattern. I would use the fabric bundle to make a quilt (throw size) very similar to yours!

What a gorgeous use of your bundle. That quilt speaks to me and says "make me".
Thanks for the chance to win a bundle. I definitely would make your quilt.
I'd use that fabric bundle to applique flowers on the border of my 3/4" hexagon quilt. They'd make perfect flowers!!!!
I have been wanting to make a rainbow quilt and yours is great inspiration!
I would make some sort of a rainbow quilt too, but probably not in wedges - maybe stars. But I am signing up for your newsletter, so I know when and if you release your pattern.
I have been working with brights on a black background recently and love your quilt. I will use this to inspire my next project.
Thanks for the giveaway! I think that bundle would make a great start for the Gravity quilt!

Gorgeous colours!!!id make a quilt but I'm not decided on the pattern.
I love your Roy wedges!! I think I would make Tula Pink's Dreamweaver quilt with those beautiful prints.
Beautiful jewel toned fabrics, my favorites! I would definitely make a quilt, preferably one of my own design. I have some ideas already!
I love everything about this quilt and if I won I'd make a quilt with bright colors on black too! I also admire the fact that you kept the edges of the quilt following the design of the wedges instead of trimming them even. VERY NICE!!
Also, I'm following your Instagram as wpbmommy1
I'd love to sew a rainbow quilt with this colorful fabric!

I really like the fusion line. Perhaps because my son loves all the colors in the rainbow right now or maybe just because they are pretty. I would make a star quilt I've been trying to find the right fabric for if I was the winner.
I'm not sure what I would make but I can say it will be awesome just by using these great fabrics! Love them and your quilt!
This is a great Blog Hop for a great company! Especially love Blank Fabrics. Your table runner is so nice! Thanks for sharing
