Win the Dream!

Jesse Owens once said, "We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort."

I believe what Jesse said to be the absolute truth.

However, in this case, all those things are just not enough.
Sometimes, you just need one more thing....

Sometimes you need a little help from your friends.


Pretty Posy Quilt Block Contest Entry


Pretty Posy is my entry for the AccuQuilt Win the Dream Quilt Block Contest.

I wanted my block design to appeal to both modern and traditional quilters.  The Pretty Posy block marries traditional style with contemporary flair. Kona cotton solids lend a modern edge to this simply pieced 9 Patch setting. While the outline quilting and balanced design reflect a more conventional feel.

Each 9 patch block consists of 3" finished squares and the quilt finished at 18.5" square.





Your voting for my Pretty Posy would sure be appreciated.

The awards are based on popular vote.  They say, "Chances of winning are increased by making sure your family, friends, guild members, and charity partners are ready to vote daily from May 1 – May 27th."


If there is enough interest, I will be sharing the FREE block tutorial in the coming week.




And there's more!


There are DAILY PRIZES just for VOTING!

Each day from May 1st to May 27th one lucky voter will win a prize worth $100 or more.  EVERY.  DAY.     SO Vote, Vote, VOTE!
