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've never made a quilt with neutrals yet. This book inspires me.

[Sharon Judkins]

I have never been a neutral kind of girl but I love all of these designs. I would love to win a copy of the book so I can get started.

[Renee Welton]

I really like this book and that is a change for me. My usual favorites are civil war quilts because I love the dark fabrics. So, thank you for the introduction!

[Denise]

I might be a neutral convert! The more I see this book, the more I want to sew!! Thanks for the inpsiration.

[Maxine Reisenleiter]

I would love to win this book. My daughter-in-law loves browns and this would give me the inspiration to make a quilt especially for her.

[Cindy Dahlgren]

This book has me rethinking neutrals. I've always considered myself a bright quilt sort of person.

[Teresa in Music City]

I've been saving some neutrals for a special quilt for my son for quite a while now. He would love Road Trip!!! Thanks for joining the blog hop and offering the giveaway :*)

[Barb Colvin]

A neutral quilt or accessory fits in just about anywhere. I love that there are a variety of projects in this book. The bed pillow and table runner would make great gifts!

[Jeanne Gwin]

Knockout Neutrals took my heart by storm. I so hope I win a copy of Pat's book. Thanks for the opportunity.

I think I would start out making Road Trip too. Thanks for the chance to win my own copy.

It amazes me that so many beautiful quilts can be made with neutrals!

[Jane]

Thanks for the great book review. Please enter me in this fantastic giveaway, I'd love to make a "neutral" quilt someday.

I guess you can never have too many neutrals, can you? I love cream and beige, but the lovely greys out there are really winning me over. Thanks!

[Linda Fleming]

I love this book - it's given me inspiration to make a neutrals quilt!

[Pam]

It looks like your road trip is off to a great start! The colors are beautiful! I love the tablerunner in the book too. I definitely want to make that!

The book looks beautiful. I have never really made a quilt with neutrals but this book makes me want to. Thanks for the chance to win

I find the neutral quilts to have a very restful look to them.

[Sharon]

My favorite is the pillow. It's stunning in the neutrals. Another great pillow idea to add to my collection.
