Giveaway Day!

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for visiting!

It's time for another round of Giveaway Day, hosted by Sew, Mama, Sew! As usual, it's bound to be a fun few days hopping around social media, meeting new creative types, visiting old favorites, and entering giveaways along the way.

My giveaway is a fat-quarter bundle of neutral Cotton + Steel basics. As much as I love the beautiful saturated colors in the C+S collections, there's something special about these basics too, and I hope you like them as much as I do.

For a chance to win, just leave a comment on this post sharing about your own use of neutral fabrics. Do you incorporate alot of neutral or low-volume in your sewing, or do you shy away from it? Have you read a good post about it that you can share? What's your very favorite neutral? I'm curious about it all, so please share. For more chances, let me know that you follow A Quilter's Table, aquilterstable on Instagram, AQT on facebook, or are a subscriber to my newsletter, The Scrap Basket. That's alot of chances and you can connect to any of them over in the sidebar.

The giveaway will be open through Sunday, May 10, and I will email the randomly chosen winner on Monday. I am happy to ship internationally. Please include an email address in your comment if it is not accessible through your profile. If you win and I can't find your email easily, I won't hesitate to choose another winner. Due to the number of comments expected on this post, I may not be able to respond to you all. But I definitely appreciate your stopping by A Quilter's Table, and I hope you come again to join in my journey of quilting and sharing around the table.

    I'm trying to use more low volume prints as background fabric instead of just solid white always. And I love grey in a quilt it's so calming to the eye and plays nice with all the other colors. And I have the dream to use my 'Little Black Dress' for a quilt one day although the color palett is out of my comfort zone.
    Thanks for the giveaway:-) hildy@ebertzeder.de

    These are, indeed, some special neutrals! I read a book by Freddie Moran and Gwen Marston where Freddie talked about her neutral - red - which totally gave me permission to figure out what I prefer to use, no matter what the shade! So of course I've used the usual suspects, white, black, and grey ... but when I found a tan/beige natural flax at the local fabric store, I used that, too. I try to keep an open mind, but as a child of the 70s, I can't bear the thought of using brown. It's my only no-go when it comes to quilting and neutrals. :)

    I am just starting to explore using LV fabrics in my quilting and have really been enjoying them as opposed to just solid color negative space. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

    since I make a lot of clothes for my kids and myself, sewing with natural color fabrics works great for pairing with brighter fabrics!

    I never really jumped on the low volume print bandwagon; I'm consciously trying to use more solids in my quilts. I like the idea of different solids (chartreuse) standing in for a neutral.

    As a new quilter I wasn't very familiar with fabric terminology. But, thanks to bloggers like you I've learned a lot. I didn't know I was using low volume fabric I just used what I liked. Armed with a little more knowledge I'm now incorporating low volume fabric intentionally.

    I love color! Bold saturated color, so most of my fabric choices are not neutral. But what is out there to better show off color than neutrals and low-volumes? Most of our quilting journeys are about pushing our limits, trying new things, and learning new techniques. I never plan to stay at the same level or repeat the same choices in pattern and/or color. I'm always onto the next thing, so low-volume and neutrals? Comin' for ya! ;)

    OOh, lovely bundle! I love low volumes and have a bit of an obsession with collecting them. My friend Rachel at 2nd Avenue Studio uses them in such a great way, I am always trying to emulate her! (she used some great ones in her quilt The Dishes Can Wait which won 2nd place in the Applique category at Quilt Con this year.

    Love the Cotton and Steel Basics! I've been trying to incorporate more low volume in my sewing lately. I tend to use a lot of white on white prints but I really want to continue to branch out more into "true" low volume. It is just nice to have the extra visual interest that you don't get with a solid.
