Well That Was Fun!

My Scanfil Thread blog giveaway closed Sunday, and I'm happy to share that I have a winner.

Though only 34 people commented, according to Blogger 4918 people viewed the blog post!
I'd guess that many blog-readers were from countries outside the US and Canada, so they didn't comment. 

To pick the winner, I cut up identical sizes of scrap paper, wrote everyone's names - include the "name" of one Anonymous commenter...

...folded them in half, and put them all in a basket.

Hubs drew the first name. Believe it or not, it was "Anonymous." I'm so sorry, whoever you are!

He drew a second name, and my local friend, Donna @donnapquilts is the winner. She selected the three-pack called Stormy Greys. 

It was nice of Scanfil to let me host this giveaway, and introduce many of you to a new thread to try. 

While the giveaway was open, I worked on my Filmstrip Quilt. I cut another 31 yard fabric reel - 1½"-wide strips sewn end to end. 

I continued to piece with Scanfil thread, starching and pressing open each seam as I went.

I finished the Filmstrip Quilt top Sunday afternoon. Do you like it?

It finished at 65" X 70", and used 106 yards of 1½" wide fabric.

Not being a mathematician, I worked out that the 5" difference in the dimensions means that the 5½"-long strip I started with.... that however long that first piece is becomes the difference between the quilt's width and height. Don't I feel smart?!

It was fun to host this giveaway, and fun to work on such a scrap-busting quilt. My September fabric-tracking outgoing total is going to be very satisfying! This quilt top used approximately 3⅞ yards! Linda
