Oh the first one never wins but what the heck. She is adorable! Congratulations! And I have to agree my new grandbaby girl is 9months old but I have had 2 boys prior and it is so much fun doing some things for girls instead....yeah! Seriously this is a generous offer and I would love to win and wait until you find out how much Amy Butler can be used as your little one starts getting bigger her designs are amazing. Since I have had my granddaughter I can tell you that the pink and green have been the best in my eyes....thanks again and Happy New Year!

After three grandsons, I was sooo excited about my first and only granddaughter, plus she was named after me. So I know how you feel, Mary Ellen. Congratulations!!! I guess I can say any bright colors always catch my eye. Golds, blues and creams always jump out at me. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy New Year.
Welcome Layla! ....and she shares my birthday!.....I have four grandsons and 14 months ago my first grand daughter was born....so I am with you...after all the "boy stuff" it was nice to make some girly things!.....I love working with pink and green.....but lately have been working a lot with red and white...and have been loving the contrast......Happy new year.....!
Wee ones are wonderful!! So precious!
My favorite combination is red and white. Love working redwork embroidery into the theme too! have a wonderful 2010!
My favorite color combination is red,green,yellow with
a white/tan swirl combination. I am doing a the Little
Quilts, Home Coming Wreath quilt with a Japanese
background fabric. I love it. I like to do things that
are traditional and add a little suprise. Thanks for asking.
What a sweet baby! Congrats, Mary Ellen! I love pink and green -- and pink and brown right now. And I love turquoise and brown, too! Very 70's!

lucky you... a little girl to sew for. I have grandsons (so far) Hmmm... Do I have to choose just one combination? I like so many. I love all brights and the richness of fall colors. Red & Whites are classic and never go out of style.
Congratulation. She is sweet!
I like green-yellow-blue, red-white, pink-light green-purple combinations, but these are not the only three....:):)
Welcome to the cutie... a new quilter for sure!
I tend to make a lot of blue & yellow quilts, but I'm not sure why. I'm in love with red & anything right now. Heck, I just love fabric
Congrats on the Grandbaby!
My favorite color combo is maroon/navy/forest green; but my new daughter-in-law loves purple, so lately I've found myself drawn to purples, and there are so many colors that go well with purple -- pinks (for a new granddaughter - wink-wink!) or yellows or even greens!
For me deep burgandy, forest green, navy blue and medium tan. I love the civil war repos and the "country" colors.
What a little doll ...I'm sure there are lots of lovely quilts in her future.

I love to work with browns and pinks or blues and creams. Either combination does it for me!
Congratulations on a girl grandbaby! I love working with blue and green.
Congrats on the new granddaughter! She is adorable. I love blues and cheddars, pinks and browns, blues and browns and anything patriotic.
Yaay! Another girl in the world! My daughter is expecting a girl in March...our first grandchild...but we're so young???! I'm trying to decide on a quilt for her.
My favorite fabric combinations are red, off-white and black or blue & yellow, or red, white and blue, or burgundy, cream and green....on & on. I like quilts!
