| Chicken Soup #2 ~ 60" X 80" |
If you've been following along with my "
Chicken Soup" quilt making adventure you'll understand my delight in posting a photo of Chicken Soup #2 this morning, in all it's full-fledged flimsy glory! Chicken Soup #1 is completely quilted and is now awaiting binding. The really wonderful thing about using all of these low volume prints is that while the fabrics are fresh and modern, when combined one next to the other they produce an instatly soft, quiet, vintage look; how is that possible? I am in love with the resulting visual effect and overall feel (Click
here for more low volume inspiration). And so, as a way to celebrate getting this far with two out of three quilts from the same batch of fabrics, and commemorate a recent blog post milestone of 1500 posts; I am happy to send
you some soup! If you would like to receive a small helping just leave me a comment below and watch for my drawing at the end of this week. I'll select a random winner at the end of the day on Friday, 25 October. The weather's getting cooler and it's a perfect time for Chicken Soup; plus, I can use some companions on the low volume bandwagon!

Here you go~ 165 die-cut tumbler shapes, the exact fabrics used in the quilt above.
The tumblers are 4" (finished length), there are enough here to piece a small quilt,
approximately 44" square if set 15 across and 11 down, or anything else that you can think of.
Good luck!
This giveaway has ended, thank you for your interest.
Watch this blog for another giveaway too, coming also at the end of this week,

Good looking soup, there, Debbie! I just caught up on your thought-provoking posts and loved the overheard fabric store conversation. I hope that mom gives her little girl room to help! Encouragement is definitely something everyone needs.
nice fabrics but i will hold off for the book giveaway...
You're right! There's such a delightful vintage feel to the low-volume quilts. I loved them, but I couldn't put my finger on why - but thanks to you, I now know why!
Congrats on your 1500 post milestone!!!
Wow... lovely flimsy and it DOES look vintage! Congratulations on such a great finish!
Love the chicken soup quilts. Every home should have one. Thank you for the inspiration you give to me through your blog.

I love your Chicken Soup quilt and would love to make one.
Thanks for the giveaway.
The tumbler is "charming" and hope I'll see it soon at show and tell!
Your quilt is wonderful! I would love to make a chicken soup quilt.Thanks for giving me a chance!
What a nice idea for a giveaway. Love your quilt. Thanks for a chance to win some "soup".
I love the idea of a Chicken Soup quilt! At our house it is called a Magic Quilt because it automatically calms the child or makes the hubby sleep better! It would be a delight to win these ingredients!
Two beautiful quilts! Congratulations on your success.
Beautiful tumblers! I love this low-volume effect. I think I need to plan something like this!
I love soup! That's a great quilt, too. A feast for the eyes!
I would never be able to cut those by hand...
It is always such a thrill to finish up a project and I am sure that you will soon have Chicken Soup No. 2 quilted and ready to give away.
Congratulations on your milestone post and yes, I'd love to share some of your lovely soup.
I've become a fan of low volume quilts. Yours is beautiful. Would love to give these a good home. Congrats on 1500 posts. I've got a long way to go!
I have my annual autumn chest cold. I NEED to win this chicken soup! Thank you for the opportunity.....
I agree--they do look vintage! And if, by chance, I should win, send them to Nancy. Sounds like she really needs them!! : )
HI!
What a great quilt!! I have been collecting low volume fabrics and have been waiting for just the right thing to come along - Might this be it? I have found those die cut tumblers to be so nice to put together. I am a regular reader to your blog and really enjoy it :) Thank you for sharing - both your thoughts and your scraps.
Love this low volume quilt--those soft colors are my favorites. And I have made a tumbler quilt, hand cutting each tumbler. How wonderful it would be to win a set already cut for you??
How fun is this?! What a happy soup. :)
So sweet!
I love tumbler quilts!
What a great give away. You inspired me to make a chicken soup quilt for my daughter as well.
Ooh, love it! If I could ever lick this cold I could get back to working on mine......cough, cough, sniffle.....
Great Chicken soup! Love the colors. Great finish!
It is turning into soup time in Oregon as well, and I would love to have a small serving from your stash.
Blessed Wishes,
Cindy B.
Always wanted to do a tumbler quilt. What great colors.
Looks great! Love the giveaway fabrics. Did you use a die cutter?
Not only are your Chicken Soup quilts beautiful, I love your reasons for making them. It would be a wonderful surprise to be the lucky winner of your drawing. Baby, it's cold outside! (smile)
Love your low volume quilt. I made a tumbler quilt for a dear friend who was going thru breast cancer treatments. I have been wanting to do another one. Love it. Thanks for the offer. Happy Quilting!

I love this quilt and I loved the other one too. I seem to never have enough light prints when I am planning a quilt and I love your whole concept. Would love to win the scraps so I could make one too!

Am I too l late to throw my name into your low-volume tumbler hat? What a grand little quilt those could become! Congrats on reaching flimsy status for #2!!
That is truly amazing how those modern fabrics look so soft and vintage, especially from a distance. Wonderful, tranquil quilts...and what a great idea to make them for "sickie days". I love them.
I have enjoyed your blog for quite some time and am often inspired, both by your quilts and your words. Love the chicken soup quilts! Thank you!
I love your quilts and I love the fabrics and the book series!
When I first read about "low volume quilts" I didn't quite understand what that meant but now I do ... seeing the beauties you've created. Wonderful work and such a great idea. Thanks for the chance to make one to brighten someone's day! Linda
Beautiful fabrics! And beautiful quilt
Love your soup!! I've never made a low volume quilt before. Must add it to my list!
This is beautiful ! Love the softness of color, I agree. Would love to make one out of these fabrics...hope you pick me! Thanks for sharing. BTW. your new turned wood bowl,is gorgeous!
Great idea! Precut tumblers would speed up a beautiful quilt!
You have inspired me to make my own chicken soup quilt. I would love to have a good start from you! Congrats on your 1500 post! That is a huge accomplishment. Thanks for always being such an inspiration for us all!
Blessings!
