Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday

Today's post is about:
Needing help with a name for my quilt by Saturday,
and a Giveaway for you, today, 
and about another Blog Hop Giveaway on Friday.

 I need your help with a name for my Print Publication Quilt Project for the Project Quilting Challenge.  I can't show the finished quilt, because it is not done yet. 

 I want to name it something that has to do with reading.

 Some Ideas:

 Reading Between the Lines

 Black and White and Blue all Over.

 Quilted Words

 Here is my progress on my project.

I cut the strips --- 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch.

Randomly stitched the strips together.


 Pressed/ironed and starched.

Ready to cut.

Remember my inspiration for this quilt is based on page 28 from a magazine.

Please leave a comment and help me name my quilt.

 Leaving a comment will also enter you in a Giveaway for you, my readers.

 The prize today is a set of 6 Quilter's Blenders Fat Quarters --- Primary and Secondary Colors. Open to everyone.

Giveaway ends Saturday, March 9th at Midnight.  Winner will be announced on Monday, March 11th.

 Update:  Winner Announced -- click here!

 Thanks for helping me name my quilt!
-----------------------------

There will be another Giveaway that starts on Friday, March 8th.  It is hosted by the Quilting Gallery.  I am giving away more prizes!

    Beautiful blue and the other fabrics.

    I think you should name it Quilted Medicine because of that page being some type of prescription.
    Plus the fact that quilting is sometimes our medicine when we just need to relax and play with our fabrics.

    Hmmmm - Back to black
    or
    between the lines

    I dunno.... but I'm loving those fabrics together and can't wait to see the finished product!

    How about Comic Strip? Or Stripped Threads. These days the word thread is often used to reference a written conversation. Wish I could see your Page 28 better, LOL!

    Hmm... love the colors. Maybe I will named it "Strippy Bluey"

    Because of the story behind the quilt, I would call it Page Twenty-Eight.

    That would be a great conversation starter. You'd be asked why you named it Page Twenty-Eight.

    I actually prefer 'Page Twenty Eight' Janarama's suggestion!! or what about guidelines?

    First thing that came to mind for me was 'Reading between the lines', as you had to be creative to base a quilt on a page of text! :)

    how about Turn to page 28- when I read the challenge that is what came to my mind immediately.
    what a fun challenge!

    "Black and white and blue all over"

    Reminds me of the old newspaper joke...

    I like 'Black and White and Blue all over' ;)
    Still haven't started on mine, I have a page, but am clueless as to what to do with it yet LOL

  15. MhairiMarch 6, 2013 at 4:31 AM

    Why not call it after your favourite book quote, or just one that most people will recognise.
    IE - "best of times", once upon a blue
    Although having read everyone else's comments I really like Page 28.
    Love the quilt too, looking forward to seeing it all finished.

    How about "Making Something Out of Nothing" because your inspiration page didn't have much in the way of inspiration!

    I'm not blue.
    Thanks for the chance

    How about "Literary Lights".

  19. gpcMarch 6, 2013 at 5:47 AM

    I do like the "Page 28" suggestion! My first thoughts were Secret Message and The Continuing Saga.

  20. Sewing MomMarch 6, 2013 at 6:27 AM

    I really love the way that came together. I'm not great with naming things...isn't that pathetic...but I don't normally name my quilts, or sewing machines, or cars. =) Maybe 'Blue Bar'.

    Thanks for a chance to win your giveaway. =)

    "Line Graph"

  22. LindaMarch 6, 2013 at 7:14 AM

    My first thought was "Page 28" or "Turn to Page 28". As one commenter said, it is a great conversation piece with that name :) Btw, I love, love the color choices!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. KrisMarch 6, 2013 at 7:24 AM

    I love the colors. How about "Fine Print" that give the viewer a chance to look closer and see what they dream is in the quilt.

  24. ElisabettaMarch 6, 2013 at 7:26 AM

    by seeing your work I imagined:

    Lined Blue Words and Black Swirls

    I can't wait to see the finished quilt ^_^

    thank you so much for the giveaway too

  25. DonanaMarch 6, 2013 at 9:06 AM

    I always love your color choices!

    How about "Bruised Correspondence"?

  26. Judy BMarch 6, 2013 at 10:29 AM

    How about News in Blue. Some other great names have been suggested.

    I love Reading Between the Lines, because your idea comes when you are reading.

  33. BelindaMarch 6, 2013 at 7:12 PM

    I like Reading Between the Lines too.
    I can't come up with anything better. :)

  34. ThreadCatcherMarch 6, 2013 at 7:46 PM

    How about, The Best of Lines (a bit of word play from the opening line in A Tale of Two Cities...It was the best of times, it was the worst of times). Silly, but that's what came to mind.

    I can't think of anything clever, but I thought of "follow instructions".

    How about "Curled Up in a Corner?" I love to curl up and read.
