  5. Ohh, I’ve been wanting some Butterscotch and Rose!! I have no idea what I would make with them…something pretty and Spring like though 🙂

  7. Oh my!!!! I love these fabrics….I would definitely put them in a quilt for myself. I make and sell my quilts…this would be mine…did I say; I love them!!!!!

    thank you for this.

  9. I’d make something for my grandma’s 75th birthday in January. Maybe some cute cushions? 🙂

  23. If I win I think I would make a mini quilt to hang on my wall. I just finished a mini quilt for a gift and was sad to send it away, so I need something to fill the void.

  31. I would love to make a baby quilt with these fabrics, though I have so many projects going on right now that I know I wouldn’t get to it right away. Thanks for the great giveaway! I’ve been following you for a while now and I enjoy your blog. 🙂

  33. I’d love to make a retro/vintage wall hanging with these. I have a bunch of other soft colors and I’ve been wanting to do a wall hanging/sampler featuring a favorite quote. So pretty!

  40. These would make a lovely picnic quilt on the off chance we get a summer in the UK next year!

  42. I think I would make some kitchen accessories with them. Thanks for the giveaway.

  53. Those are just beautiful fabrics. I’m not entirely positive what I would make for sure if I were to win. I might use them for some Granddaughter goodies since that’s what I’ll be working on before she’s born in Feb and those would be somewhat girly looking. OR I may just make a purse for myself with them or a table runner for my kitchen table.

  55. Thanks for the chance to win!!! That would be perfect fabric to make some little zippered pouches.

  63. If I won these fabrics they would go into five quilts my quilts group and I are making in January for five Aussie girls serving in the Aussie Army in Afghanistan at the moment – thanks for the chance

  76. I would like to make a quilted tote for my mother in law! Thanks for a chance to win! 🙂

  86. Hi Jenna, I’m table runner mad at the moment & Buttercup fabrics will make a gorgeous one. I was lucky enough to get the gorgeous red & white table runner from Kwoonten2 in our recent swap – yippee! Tracee xx

  89. I had a FQ bundle of this when it first came out – just love this line and would like to play with it again – hand needled like butter.

  90. I am following, following, liking and enjoying your blog. I would add these fabrics to a new sampler quilt I have designed and plan to teach to my students next year.

  93. Hi I’ve just found your blog by accident, first time I’ve enjoyed an accident and will be coming back for more!
    As I have just found out I’m going to be a granny for the first time, and I’m so EXCITED, I’m sure you can guess that I’d be making a quilt for my grandchild, gosh it’s good saying that.

  95. They would probably go on my shelf to be admired and petted until after the holidays.

  105. I would make a welcoming door hanging if I win those fabrics, or a case for my Nook Tablet.

  107. Several times a year, my quilting buddies and I trade fabric to make a specific quilt. We are planning a floral swap with light and dark florals. I’d love to have these fat quarters to cut strips for our trade. Thanks so much for joining this blog hop! Merry Christmas!

  108. would use them to do broken heart applique quilt have already made 1 in pink and friend loved it x

  111. would love to win – these would end up in a couch size quilt I’m sure – pattern? don’t have any ideas off the top of head right now but I know I could find something neat to go with them.

  113. I’d love to win these fabrics to make a quilt for one of my great nieces. Thanks for the chance to win.

  115. I “liked” SewHappyGeek on facebook. Thanks for the chance to win.

  124. I think I would make some runners and mats for our dressers and side tables. Less time dusting = more time sewing.

  127. These fabrics say “Spring” to me! I would love to make a Spring table runner.

  133. those are lovely fabrics. I could see a nice table runner with those, something soft for spring!

  135. The fat quarter bundle is beautiful. It would make a lovely table runner. Thank you for the opportunity to win it. Happy quilting!

  142. I think I would make something for my mom with them,
    maybe a small tote or zipper pouch 🙂

  148. HoNestly, I’m not certain what I would do with these FQ’s. I have a lot of ideas buzzing around in my head so I can tell you they would most definitely be used for something wonderful. Most likely a quilt of some sort.

  150. I follow you on Twitter?

    Thanks for all the chances to win!

    Happy Holidays!

    I will continue to follow even when you no longer have your Google widget.

  152. i JUST worked with this line of fabric a few months ago and used my GO! isosceles die and made a lap/baby quilt…. wouldn’t mind more for my STASH 🙂

  166. what I would do with it – as a typical notoriously poor student I would turn it into a present, and judging from the colours on the picture (they might look different in real light) it would probably be one for my stepmother, using some already hmmm talked-out-of-my-grandmas-fabric-stock-flannel as backing – well and if I don’t win I will find another way to get the quit done for her. But I’m grateful for the chance.

  170. There is a stars quilt made of florals that I would love to make adding these fabrics to other florals.

  175. I have some other fig tree fabrics and I may put them together to make a bigger project. Love those colors in the Fig Tree line!

  192. What would I do? Hmm … They are very pretty and soft colors to me. Kindof romantic. I am not sure – and would probably change my mind 300 times before I made the first cut – but I want to make a wall hanging for my sewing room which has an old black featherweight machine surrounded by pretty pastels. Maybe I’d use it for that? or part of it for that.
    It would be a hard decision.
    Thanks for the chance to win.

  195. OOPS! I would use the beautiful fabric to make something for my daughter for college.

  196. What a generous giveaway. If I were to win, I would use some of the fabric in my “Dear Jane” blocks. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  203. Would probably use some fabric from my stash to add to your fabric and make a small wallhanging out of it. Following on FB

  204. Boy, you sure are busy giving things away lately! I think I’d make some journal covers with these. They are so romantic, I can imagine romantic thoughts flowing through the pen onto the page…

  205. That fabric is so pretty! I had to think about what to do with it and I think I’d make either placemats or cloth napkins for my kitchen. 🙂

  210. I would make pillows for my daughter, I think!
    Beautiful fabric. Or maybe a bag for me!!!

    Thank you!!!

  213. I am redoing one of our guest bedrooms and bath and already see pillows, towel trimming and maybe a fussy cut picture as well. Thank you

  217. I have several books with FQ ideas I’m dying to try – so they would be put towards that! Thanks for the giveaway!

  227. Wowie, these are gorgeous fabrics. I would make something for my bestie, these are her kind fo colours!

  228. These are so my colors. They would probably go into the stash awaiting the next quilt.

  236. These would help make a gorgeous lap quilt for my sewing/library room to be.

  244. Thank you so much for opening this giveaway to international folks!

    That fabric is so delicate and pretty, I think I’d make some small bags out of it, or maybe a pillow case. 🙂

    Thank you for the chance! :0)

  252. I would make something for my grandmother, she would absolutely love these fabrics- maybe a thread catcher or a mug rug.

  261. And I would (finally) make some coaster with those bad boys! Those colors would look so lovely on our teak/glass coffee/side tables!

  262. I would make a bag for my mother. I’m sure she would love the fabrics as much as I do.
    terrific giveaway! Thanks.

  268. I subscribed in Google Reader so I’ll get all your posts. I’d make a large bag to carry my handwork with me. It’s such beautiful fabric, I love everything that comes out of Fig Tree!

  280. I don’t think I have seen these before but I love a good floral. Maybe I could get some co-ordinating Kona Basics and make a nice tote bag for myself. Perhaps a pretty dress for my daughter. Then maybe a few hexies to put into my Hexie quilt WIP.

  356. love love love fig tree! a simple cozy throw that shows off these soft colous would be nice

  358. I’m planning a quilt with lots of embroidery to honor my Grandmother, who taught me to embroider, and encouraged my love of sewing. This is the color palette I’ve chosen, so I’m sure I’ll be adding it to that project 🙂

  362. The FQ’s would go nicely in a quilt I am planning for a friends newly teenaged daughter in New Zealand. I will be following you on Google and Facebook. I don’t do Twitter.
