all the piles were swapped and ready to be shipped out.
And now to annouce our winners!
The Cutest Fabric Award goes to Cindy!
Cindy entered this adorable Retro Car fabric
and will receive a Barnyard Buddies charm pack by Amy Bradley!
Congratulations Cindy and thank you everyone for taking the time to vote.
And now for the drawing of the kitty!
All participants who submitted their fabrics with a postmark of April 15th
or earlier qualified for the drawing of 120 additional 5 inch I Spy squares.
A list was formed and the winner chosen using Random Number Generator,
and the winner is

Congratulations Sharon!
We will expect to see some awesome quilts coming from your neck of the woods:)
