Hi Rachel...I am a brand new quilter (thanks to my sister) and I subscribe to your blog through my Google Reader (which is like following!)
I am subscribed to your blog!
Being a new quilter, I don't have a lot of experience...but I am drawn to the turquoises and yellows...I also love seeing red in quilts and am working on a quilt right now that has red, black and powder blue...gorgeous combination!
Glad your Grandad is ok! I don't have a favorite color combo, I actually have a hard time picturing things together, so I tend to find a pattern and use similar materials to what is pictured, so I know what it's gonna look like. I am partial to teal/purple/pink/blues though. I love whatever material is in the picture, and I do love Nest by Moda. Browns. Mmm. They're all my favorite lol. Great giveaway!!
My favorite combo involves anything with green. :)
I follow your fantastic blog (does sucking up get extra entries?? hehe)
I am follower as well.Thanks for giveaway...
I'm blogging about you as we speak! (Not that I want to invite competition for the giveaway lol)

fave color combo? blue and blue...different hues of course. I've had my hubby's sailor quilt in my head for days and all i can think of is blue.
Oh and I follow you.
Favorite colors to work with? I'm not sure I've fallen into a pattern just yet but looking around my studio I seem to have an overwhelming amount of pinks, greens, and cream.
I just subscribed to your blog feed for my reader, thought I already had but your reminder made me check.
I'll blog about you tomorrow and return with the link. How can we not share this exciting giveaway?!
I would love to do a quilt with all the colors of the - ocean, blue, green, coral, creme, pink, grey, sand, - I can't think of anything better. Since I live in a landlocked state - I would be able to be in the ocean any time I felt like it - yup that's what I am going to do!
It's hard to choose favorite color combinations. I like greens, pinks, sunny yellows, pretty blues.
I have your blog bookmarked in my favorites and check it at least four times a day.
Your blog is on my blog list, but I'll add myself to the followers!
I'm happy to hear your grandpa is well. And what a wonderful way to celebrate life than a Give-away!
I love a give-away! I can think of many things to do with a GC from Fat Quarter Shop!
I don't necessarily have a favorite, but I do have fabric to make a blue and white quilt that I'm really looking forward to starting one of these days.
I love working with pinks and another color (pink and green, pink and orange, pink and white.. etc)
awesome giveaway!

My favourite colour combination is brown and pink. We are expecting baby #4, and after 3 boys I decided to make a girl's quilt just in case. So of course the quilt will be pink and brown, with some green added in.
