Giveaway, giveaway!

You know I love to quilt, right? Well, my friends at one of my favorite shops that's online, The Fat Quarter Shop, is having a giveaway right now! In case you don't know, fat quarters are a quilting-specific cut of fabric. When a quarter yard is cut, instead of it being 9 inches long by however wide the fabric is, say 44-45 inches, a half yard is cut which is 18 inches long by the width of the fabric, then it's cut in half. You're left with a piece of fabric that's 18 by 22 or so, which is infinitely more usable than a piece that's 9 inches by 44 or 45 inches. So that's what a fat quarter is!

And this giveaway you can find here Jolly Jabber Blog and it's called Pennsylvania Dutch and it's in beautiful colors of red, white and blue. This giveaway is for a Jelly Roll, a Layer Cake and a Charm pack in this lovely fabric selection. A jelly roll is a quilt-specific cut of fabric, it's 2 1/2 inches wide by 44 inches long. A layer cake pieces are 10 inches by 10 inches and charm packs are 5 inch square blocks. These are incredibly versatile and fun to use, so go now and enter!
