You just won a contest…

Well, let’s pretend. Pretend you won a 3 minute “grab all you can and put in a shopping cart” spree at your local quilt shop!!
What would you grab?
I think I would grab fat quarters. That way I would have a little of everything! If I still had some time left, thread? Books? Not really sure….



But such fun to think about!



And yes,
I am still working on my nine patch!






Have a SAFE weekend!

  2. Fat Quarters would be high on my list. A girl can never have to many fat quarters. Love your nine patch.

  4. I would be scooping up FQs and charm packs. And then thread and pins, always needing more pins. Oo! Oo! Plus I would grab a pair of scissors. And some pinking shears. And... and... how many minutes did you say I had?

  7. What in the world would I do? Bolts for me - background fabrics I think. Lots of cream on cream and white on white but also all kinds of polka dots. :) blessings, marlene

  8. Three minutes doesn't sound very long but I bet it is really long when running through a fabric store tossing things in a cart. I think fat quarter packs would be a great way to grab a bunch of fabrics really fast.

    I remember way back when Toys r Us held contests around Christmas. The winning kid would win 5 minutes in their store to fill as many carts as they could. My kids used to dream of all the toys they would pick.

    Like winning the lottery, it's fun to dream.

  9. Gosh you would see one crazy cart driving lady in that store!! HAAA the videos that would result.. Hilarious!!! Yes I think I would go for mostly fat quarters.. but one large bolt of white on white... for backing.. okay maybe two LOL.. and then some thread for sure.. lots.. and if I had time.. I would stuff in some quilt batting.

  14. Love your 9-patch quilt. No matter what anyone says, it's my favourite block and your colours are so cheery. I think, like you, I would grab a lot of fat-quarter bundles and maybe a few jelly rolls. Perhaps some thread if time allowed and some new rulers. Books, no. I've got all I need.

  16. Yes, grabbing bundles in the baskets would be the way to do it, lol.
    In 3 minutes, I sure could get a lot of stuff in our shop, it is smaller, but packed full of goodies.

  17. What a fun pretend to think about. Yes, grabbing up fat quarter bundles, jelly rolls, charm packs.....lots of 'em. Then some batting, threads, needles...lots of pins...basting spray.

    I remember the grocery cart contests on tv..contestants running down the meat aisles, and their spouses having the next basket ready for them when they returned to the front of the store.

    Fun!

    I adore your fruit quilt!

  20. What a wonderfully...bright and cheery nine-patch!

    I would probably grab bolts of something generic like a black on black or blender/small prints.

    Thanks for the FUN game!

  21. Your nine-patch is lovely!

    I would grab all of the rotary cutter blades the store had, plus a couple of new pairs of scissors, then I would run for the "brights" fabric section and grab as much as possible! What a fun fantasy!
