Rowan and Free Spirit Christmas in July Block-a-thon Block 7 ‘PresentsUnder the Tree’ and a Fabric Giveaway

Happy Monday everyone! Did you all have a great weekend?  My family had a really amazing weekend and I’m sort of sad to even be starting the new week.  Oh well – we have lots of fun things planned again this week…just hope the girls are as well behaved as they were!

Anyway – I’ll start today with one fun thing!  My original block ‘Presents Under the Tree’ is the block for the ‘Rowan and Free Spirit Christmas in July Block-a-ton’ today!

You need to head over to the Free Spirit Blog to find the directions on how to make it yourself!

Here’s my block in the crazier fabrics I chose to use for my quilt. 

I really loved the modern feel of my block and I recently promised to make my brother a quilt.  His favorite color is white.  Anyone that knows me or follows my blog knows that white really isn’t my thing.  BUT I love my brother so I figured I would figure it out.  I decided to use the block that I designed for this quilt along and tweak it to make it work for my brother’s quilt.  He also wanted cool colors so above is the first block that I created.  I’ll be sure to keep you all posted as his quilt progresses.  Wish me luck with white!

Enough of that!  It’s time to announce the giveaway!
