Knockout Neutrals blog hop: my day today!

Welcome to my day of the blog hop!!

Knockout Neutrals is a fantasitc new book by Pat Wys from The Silver Thimble Quilt Co.

                                                
 and see that gorgeous quilt on the front cover, yes I started it!! I couldn't help myself and it was so much fun! At first I thought I didn't have any neutrals but Pat explains all about using neutrals in the book.

Here are the first 8 blocks of Road Trip, I have another 5 cut, ready to sew. They come together so fast! I will be making a smaller version of the quilt as I dont make big quilts, but you never know!! (most of this fabric is from Whimsicals)

here are some more gorgeous projects...

this tablerunner is on my list!!!

so how fantastic are all these projects!! To see more visit Martingale

If you would like to WIN an e-book or a signed copy with Aurifil thread and 15 fat quarters of neutral fabric, please leave a comment, I would love to read about what you think of Knockout Neutrals!!

I love the road trip! And it would be a challenge to make the quilt with those colors! A real trip.

Your blocks are beautiful gail! And the tablerunner looks cute- I can see why it's on your list :-) Love the basket quilt as well. The book looks like a great one!

[Anne Bryson]

Wow what a fabulous book. I love the appliqué pillow. It's right up my alley!

[Helen Evans]

I simply adore the blocks you have made Gail, as well as the photos of projects from the books. I didn't think neutrals were my things, but love the colour combinations on these projects. I would love to be able to use some of my neutral fabrics on these wonderful quilts, table runners etc.

Thanks for sharing!

[Laila Skauge]

Wow! That's a book with lots of beautiful quilts! The one you are making looks just awesome! Agree with you about the table runner, just gorgeous!
Wish you a great and creative day :)

What a wonderful book! Your fabrics for Road Trip are beautiful. The appliqué pillow is calling my name.

This giveaway is so well timed as I've just finished working on a neutral crocheted baby blanket for a friend and have fallen in love with the neutral/simple look and would love to try it out in some soft furnishings or a quilt so this book would be a great starting point. Thanks for the chance to win it :) Barb.

I just love the book Knockout Neutrals and I love the quilts that I have seen in the book. I particularly like the quilt Road Trip as I have 3 grown boys and I think it looks really masculine. Would love to make it for one of them..

[Sharon Griffith]

Wow I love the quilt on the front of the book and think it would make a wonderful quilt for my DH..I also like how Pat explains neutrals it seems to me that I have allot to learn in that area and wold love to win a copy of it. Thanks for a great explanation and making my desire for the book even stronger...take care

[Christine B.]

Hello Gail! Just love all the beautiful projects you have showcased from the book. The colours are fabulous!! Your quilt is looking good and I adore the table runner!! :)

[Barbara Leyland]

Thank you for introducing me to this wonderful book. I love using neutrals and there are so many inspiring projects in the book. My favourites are the table runner and the appliqué cushion. Appliqué is one of my favourite techniques.

[kaholly]

I am so very impressed with this new book. I have loved every picture I've see of the projects included in the book, esp. the tablerunner! It's a must have for my library.

[Julie Murray]

Knockout Neutrals are so stunning because they have the basic neutral shades which are then highlighted by one very different colour e.g. my favourite country red, in the table runner. I would love to try out the patterns - they look great! Thanks for the give-away!

[QuiltSue]

Some of these designs are wonderful, and I would also have to start with the quilt on the cover.

[Terry]

I've wanted to make a neutrals quilt for ages, and the patterns in this book look wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win it! :0)

[Meredith]

These quilts are just stunning, and I would start with the one on the cover....and then work my way through!! Thanks for the chance to win.
