and so 121 days after the Project Linus Quilt Challenge was launched we have the results ......

TSP's Project Linus Quilt Challenge

We have had pictures/quilts from 7 of our 9 contestants, sadly Ella has had to withdraw from the contest due to circumstances beyond her control and Lowena did not submit her pics.

We are hoping to make a mass donation of the quilts to Project Linus on the Thursday of FOQ, around 1.30pm, They will be on stand A50 ... so if you are at the NEC why not make a beeline to Stand A50 and meet us there!!!!!

So please view these beautiful creations and vote for your 2 most favourite quilts!!!!

Voting will run for 14 days,
you can vote for two quilts only and change your mind until the end of voting.

The Winners will receive a Beautiful TSP Prize Winner Badge or a Trio of Fat Quarters in their colours!

They're all beautiful, lovely designs and beautifully finished. I'm sure the lucky recipients will be very pleased. Very hard to choose, but I have voted.

I have voted.
I think the idea of restricting to 2 opposite colours was genius, it has made some very striking quilts.
Life's too short for ironing.

Crikey!  There isn't a single one there that I don't absolutely love!

I'm going to have to give this some thought...
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

and Lowena did not submit her pics.

@Lowena are you OK?  You posted a couple of days ago about not feeling too well and we haven't heard from you since.

That's it. I've voted.  :)

I've thought it over and have returned to study the quilts about four times throughout the day.

One of them was chosen because it looks so inviting...I want to touch it and snuggle up under it, and I chose the other one because I love the choice of colours and the design.

@BrendaP  I think I spotted Lowena earlier today on the FoQ thread regarding their plans to eat out.

@Lowena thanks for the update.  Look after yourself and take the rest you need - and don't feel guilty about it!  :*
