Cute blocks! When I started quilting about 5 years ago, a good friend who has been quilting "forever" helped me the most, plus I started buying quilting books & learned a lot from them. I'm a follower. Thanks for the giveaway.
I follow intrepid thread:)

I'm already an Intrepid Threads follower. Thanks for the giveaway.
When I was just getting started in quilting, one thing that probably helped me the most was being part of a quilting forum. I was able to participate in block and fabric swaps, quilt-a-longs, and mysteries--- also made some really great online friends! If I had any questions, all I had to do was post them, and I immediately got lots of helpful and friendly advice! :-) Thank you and Julie so much for the chance to win --- beautiful fabrics!! :-)
I do follow Intrepid Thread! What a great blog-- and a wonderful place to shop!! :-)
Joy complete fat quarter bundle is my favorite at The Intrepid Thread. Beautiful Christmas fabrics. Thanks for the chance to win.
i am a old follower of yours
Intrepid Thread has SO many wonderful fabrics that it is not possible to choose a favorite-- too many favorites! ;-) I DO love Alpine Wonderland, though--- super-duper cute!!!! :-)
i get all my knowledge form other blogger's and they are the reason i quilt
i follow julie's blog
i follow you too
Wow! You just jump right in with both feet! Great job. When I first started (not that long ago) I turned to books. I like being able to follow along right there next to my sewing machine. I quickly turned to online tutorials that I could print out and work with, too. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the Apple of My Eye fabrics at Intrepid Thread! I follow your blog by RSS feed on my Mac Mail. Is there another way that I should "enter" or follow you differently to make it official? Your blog now updates regularly every time you post. I hope this counts!!

I love your dots!! They are so cheery and look great in your blocks. I read about the giveaway on Intrepid Thread's post this morning, but didn't know it was yours. I enjoy finding her posts in my email most days. Congratulations!
I follow you by email and there was no lovely internet when I started quilting and we lived in a very remote area. Books were a fabulous source of information that I still refer to.
My current favorite at the Intrepid Thread is the sanddollars on It's a Shore Thing. I just can't make up my mind which color!
Happy "Hopping" through the quilt blocks!
I am a new follower to your site. I also purchase OFTEN from Julie!
Love the Bukhara fabric on Julie's site.
When I first started quilting my mother-in-law was my instructor. She has quilted since before the 70's and she was a good teacher. If it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have stuck with it.
I am now a follower. Looking forward to it! Happy 50th post! Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a follower of Julie and get her newsletter too!
I'm already a follower of Intrepid Thread. Thanks!
Love this fabric bundle. I could make some fun stuff with it. I'm a pretty new quilter myself, but I really like doing things quick and easy. I've learned a lot from the Missouri Quilt Company tutorials on how to do pinwheels and many other blocks quickly and easily. Plus, they have fast shipping and personalized service as well. (No slight to Julie. Love ya!)
I took a beginners class, watched Alex Anderson, and had a virtual friend explain scant 1/4 inch.
I like the new fabric It's a sure thing. I think it's because of the navy blue. Something I don't see enough of.
I already follow Julie's blog.
Loved your super fun fabric choices!!
Your blocks are very pretty. I am a new follower. I would have to agree with you I have learned so much from the blogs I follow. Also I have learned a lot from quilt alongs and I recognized your first 3 blocks from the beginner's QAL. Isn't that a fun one and I am learning so much. I am also going to be doing one where we purchased fabric from Intrepid Thread and cut it into charm square for a swap. They were definitely very helpful.
I follow the Intrepid Thread. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am a new follower of yours. When I started quilting, Alex Anderson's Simply Quilts is where I learned the most. She was on twice a day and made the process make mush more sense. Thanks.
I already follow Intrepid Thread.
I am now a follower of your blog. I was introduced to quilting by a friend we were visiting in Alaska. She is a master quilter, and in a few days she managed to turn me into a fabric addict. I made my first quilt in 4 days and have never been the same. Thanks Elise :)
Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the pretty little things line!
Thanks! Patrick
I like the Joy Christmas fabric by Kate Spain.
I am a follower. What helped me the most -- even though I've sewn off and off for many years - was taking a My First Quilt Class. It covered everything from color coordination, cutting, to prewash or not to prewash, to binding and quilting. From there I just started following quilting bloggers. While there's not an official "right" or "wrong" way (most of the time) -- there's a right or a wrong way for many instances. Good luck!
I am now following the Intrepid Thread Blog.
My best resources were my mother and great-grandmother! I'm lucky to come from a sewing and quilting family and they really helped me figure out the basics.

Lovely blocks, can't wait to see what you do with them. The internet (bloggers, tutorials and all the lovely quilters everywhere). After looking at everyone else's stuff, I have taught myself to quilt, still don't know everything, but I'm more than willing to learn more.

Joy complete fat quarter bundle, it reminds me of the happy time of the year for all the children around the world. (Christmas time). Thanks for having this giveaway.
Your blocks turned out really cute. I love this color combination. When I first started quilting, there weren't any blogs (which helps me a lot now). What helped me the most were classes that I took or when a friend actually showed me how to do something.
I am your 144th follower. Julie is one of my favorite peoples out that for fabric purchases and just to know. thanks for the chance to win and PS: your blocks are awesome
My mother has quilted for more than 65 years. I tell her that she got me "hooked". Since we live together, my mother is my in-house expert advisor on all things quilty.

I Really like Vintage Modern by Bonnie and Camille.
You now have another newbie quilter follower and the answer of your question for me would have been not trying to learn a large quilt pattern. I found that I got frustrated and quit quilting. Then not too long ago; I started reading more books, finding which technique was what I liked best when I started to make small doll size quilts. I learn a new pattern,and I find that I Actually finish the smaller quilts to much of my delight. I also found a wonderful small quilt yahoo group with great helpers.
Sincerely,
Tricia

So I guess that would be my bonus entry #2.

Hummm with all that eye cnady it is hard to choice but I think I like Ty Peddington's Impressions line. There is several different prints that could be used in a variety of ways.

I like La Dee Da fabric at Julie's Thanks
Hey! I've just become a follower of yours! I was young when I began quilting so I think the best thing that helped me was my Mom and Grandma. I did take a class where we did an applique and then turned it into a purse.
mtower@bellsouth.net
Hey! I went to Intrepid Threads and looked at her pretty fabric. It was nice!! I think I like Kharma Baby-Animal Toss in Pinkle.

I'm a new follower.
When I FIRST started quilting, I relied on TV quilt teachers -- Georgia Bonesteel, Eleanor Burns, and later Alex Anderson's Simply Quilts.
(I'm a baby boomer.) We didn't have blogs or tutorials then. After I moved to Lincoln, I was able to take real quilting classes through the local community college.
Blogger were and are a inspiration to me but have to admit that Jenny at the Missouri Star Quilt Company and her tutorials have helped me tons.
Your random generators are absolutely adorable!!! I'm becoming a follower because I enjoy your posts ... no need to enter me into the contest ... how fun for you and I can't wait to see what you bring us next! Enjoy, enjoy and thank you for sharing!
Your blocks are wonderful! I think you did a great job.

What helped me the most was looking at the pics of quilts on the web and try to figure out how they were done.
I follow your blog via feedburner email subscription.
I love Cocoon for the bright colors and butterflies

The Intrepid Thread has some amazing fabrics. I recently ordered some charm packs of Serenade and Vintage Modern which are favorites. Julie does wrap a lovely package. Thanks for the giveaway.
I now follow you through GFC.
I think the internet was most helpful to me. It's a great way to get advice and information from a variety of sources.
I like the Apple of My Eye collection.
I follow Intrepid Thread by email
You're doing great with your blocks. I'm doing the Quilting Gallery Beginner Along also. I still have to get block 2 done but do have the others completed.
I'm now a follower of your blog.
The biggest help for me was reading blogs to learn as much as possible about quilting. There are so many awesome quilters that are more than happy to help new quilters learn which is awesome.
I'm following you in Google Reader (does that count?)
I change my mind quite often, but I think my favorite right now in Julie's shop is Serenade, the Fat Quarter Bundle In Sky and Damson. I love the bundle she's put together with all my favorite colors.
I am already a follower of The Intrepid Thread via GFC, email subscription, and newsletter subscription as well. Plus I've already 'liked' her on Facebook too.

When I started, I took a 12 week sampler class from my LQS. While it wasn't really my style (I prefer modern fabrics and quilts), it laid a very good foundation for anything else I plan to tackle. I also looked up web tutorials for help if I wanted broader advice about how to do something.
I am in love with the Cocoon Line right now :)
I already follow Julie (and buy a lot of fabric from her!)
I haven't begun actually "quilting" yet, but I have found that the endless amounts of info and tutorials online have been super helpful in creating the few things I have done.
I am a new follower, thanks!
When I started quilting my Aunt Criss gave me an old, ancient quilt book, and Ive used it to look up things such as how to do a binding, etc.
I am a current follower of Intrepid Thread, thanks!
Congrats, Kelie, on your 50th post! I'm also a fairly new beginner...a beginner of reading blogs. lol I am now a follower of yours. I enjoyed reading your entry for the R,W,B Hop; I love dots, too.
My greatest help came from "C" at my LQS. She was so laid-back and so gentle. Whatever I did (even when it wasn't all that great) was OK and she encouraged me to keep going. I had a friend who attended her first quilting class from 'a tyrant' and my friend got discouraged and gave up. Hip, hip, horray for "C"!!!
I like Julie's Alpine Wonderland bundles. The Kharma Baby bundles are cute too!
I have only ordered once from The Intrepid Thread but I TOTALLY agree that the fabric is wonderful and the service from Julie was top-notch. I, too, got a personal note from her; wow! I love the fabrics in Summersville; in fact, I ordered Town in Coal from her.
WOW!! You really have the comments! Just proves that a great Give-Away can help bring blog traffic to a new blogger. Participating in hops, etc...is also a great way to get your name out there. You are off to a great start as a beginning quilter and taking all the right steps.
Blessings

I only recently started quilting; in fact, I'm working on my first quilt. The thing that has helped me the most so far has been all the wonderful quilting blogs I've found. I'm a blogger, so it's a natural medium for me. I love how much information, advice, etc can be found in the blogging communtiy.
Picking just one fabric is so hard, but I'd say it's Lilly Belle's Flower Pop in Zesty. I love the mustardy yellow color, and I like the flower pattern on the teardrop background. So pretty.
Also, I'm a follower on the Intrepid Thread blog.
When I first started quilting a sweet grandmother, she actually reminded me of my own, helped me with our BOM. She got me started and I took off from there.
I follow Julie's blog. :)
I love Pretty Little Things trees prints because of the colors, and it's so springy feeling. I love trees.
Great blocks...understand about time...I work full-time too! I am scheduled for the 15th...thanks for sharing and your great give-a-way.
I've just become a follower of yours. So glad to be here!!
I've been a devoted follower of The Intrepid Thread for quite some time!
I'm a new follower of your blog. As someone with little or no real sewing experience it was blogging that helped me learn to quilt - I love tutorials! Thanks for the chance to win.
I really love Ellen Luckett Baker's Quilt Block fabrics - I love them because they're so modern & unque & quilty!
I'm a follower of The Intrepid Thread, thanks.

I was most helped by the book 'A Quilters Complete Guide' by Fons and Porter when I first stared quilting!
I still refer to it after 10 years!
I already follow The Intrepid Thread!
My fave fabric at the Intrepid Thread right now is Nightshade - Coven in Vapor, which I ordered yesterday during the sale!
Wonderful blocks! My girlfriend's mother was always cutting and piecing squares of fabric, I sewed clothes but this inspired me to quilt! Great giveaway!
I follow Intrepid Thread, great giveaway!
I really like the new Starflakes and Glitter fabrics!
Whoa! Hard question!--Mostly because I started quilting soooooo long ago. I'd have to say three things were equally helpful: 1) I'd been sewing since I was a child; made all my clothes, so my skills were already there. 2) My mom's aunt, who inspired me to make quilts, lived 600 miles away so I didn't know she had horrible workmanship (made quilts for 60 years and never got any better). 3) Every chance I had, I talked to Mennonite and Apostolic Christian quilters who could answer some of my questions. (That's right: no quilt shops; no internet; and the main branch of the city library had less than 15 books, most of them from the 1920's and 30's.)
@ Intrepid Thread I love Michael Miller's Madrona because some of the prints remind me of fabrics I loved at our little sewing shop when I was a kid.
And I'm now one of her followers too!
Oh gosh! Where do I start? Congratulations on 50 blog posts! I do not have a blog but I read alot of them and know it takes alot of work and commitment to keep them going. Your RWB blocks are awesome! Love your fabrics as well. You have been busy I can tell. hehe. I love hops because of course I learn something but I also discover new blogs with creative and inspiring folks. So, I'm now a follower. I've been sewing since I was a kid but I learned how to quilt from a super lady who was my coworker. I learned alot from her but I also started taking classes. I found some great teachers and made friends with ladies in the classes. In the beginning and even now I try different classes and if I like it, ie applique, then I find projects that I just have to do. hehe. Getting together with friends and working on projects is always fun and motivating. These are a few things that helped me in the beginning and most I still do. There is always something new, an idea, a tool so staying plugged in and connected helps you to grow and become better at your craft.
Thank you and The Intrepid Thread for a generous giveaway and a chance to win some gorgeous fabric.

Such a beautiful bundle. Pretty, pretty, pretty! So many gorgeous fabric's at Julie's shop. One of my new favorites is Couquette. Even sounds fancy. hehe. I love the big soft flowers, especially in the Buttercup colorway. The whole line is just beautiful. There's scrolls and stripes, all yummy.
Thank you and The Intrepid Thread for a great giveaway and a chance to win some gorgeous fabric.

I am a new follower. The ladies at WV Quilt sat down with me and taught me how to use a sewing machine!
I am following Intrepid Thread by email!
I am a new follower, thanks for the tutorial!
When I was a new quilter (not that I'm so experienced yet), I relied so much on the blogs, tutorials, and you-tube tutorials to teach me what I needed to know. And the inspiration - wow!
I am a follower of Intrepid Thread, thank you!
My favorite fabric at intrepid thread was nightshade which is on sale right now-Tula Pink fans for 30% off. Thank you for sending me there.
I follow as Renee G on gFC and what helped me the most was a couple of gals that I work with that are experienced quilters.

What encouraged me to continue when I started quilting was the support and help of fellow quilters. That and the fabulous fabrics I kept seeing every time I visited a quilt shop!
Hi Kelie, I'm a new follower. I'm doing the Beginners QAL too. When I started quilting the internet was (and still is) my go-to resource for information and inspiration. I've also purchased some books that give me good information and projects. I recently started the Quilter's Academy series of books.
i am not sure what helped me when i was a new quilter. i probably just connected blocks after cutting them out with scissors. i might have had a book. when i became more serious, which was in the last few years, i was able to search on-line, buy more in-depth books and could afford to get better tools, like the handy dandy rotary cutter and the "self-healing" mat. i used to make my daughters clothes over 30 years ago, and i think that quilting was just a natural spin-off.
Hello: Thanks for letting us visit. My best, early, help came from all the ladies on the sunbonnetsue.com message board. They were a great help in teaching me applique'. Being an artist, I began to draw Sues for them and haven't stopped, as you can see from my blog! I'm a new follower of yours. I hope you'll come and follow me. Bye for now.
I've been over to the Intrepid Threads blog and looked at a lot of fabric. I am very intrigued by "Dress Up Days", which is a panel set of dolls and clothing changes. Very clever. I've done a Sunbonnet Sue doll already and it's really simple to make. I keep looking for a Sue "paper-type-doll" to put together, so I'm always interested in seeing what other people are doing in that line.
Okay, I'm back again. What a cute blog at Intrepid Threads. I'm a follower there, now, too. She had a link back to your page which is so considerate. I live for links. Thanks so much, ladies, for the great, interesting visit.
i went over to the intrepid thread and found that i like "vintage modern" because i love turquoise / aqua paired with red. lovely combination.
I love Mama Said Sew for some sewing room accessories.
I follow the Intrepid Thread blog. Thanks for a great giveaway.
i have become a follower of the intrepid thread's blog. lots of neat stuff there!
Blogs are my best resource as a new quilter, since everything is at the touch of a finger! I've started to get tons of books from the library though so I can make sure to only spend money buying ones that are really awesome!
(btw, I'm working on block 5 of the skill builder too, so glad I found out about it here! Heh..my pinwheel block turned out too small so I put a border around it - might have to remake that one!)
I follow Intrepid Thread's blog, it's my favorite store I've found so far and I agree, Julie is great!
My favorite fabric at Intrepid Thread that I haven't purchased yet (well besides about a dozen that are out of stock :( ) is Bukhara - Fez in multi.
Off to check out more of the blog hop!
I'm a follower and I got the inspiration from the blogs all over the world.
I loved Dear Stella and VM fabrics :)
I follow Julie's blog.
I am your follower =)
I am already subscribed to the mailing list of The Intrepid Thread
Pretty Little Things fabric is my favorite, only because I find it perfect for my little girl Anna =)
I am a brand new quilter, and what helped me the most is to have the right tools to work with!
I am a new follower. Thanks for the chance to win!
When I first started to quilt I learned a lot from magazines and library books.
I love The Intrepid Thread and I follow Julie's blog. Piccadilly Circle fabric and La Dee Da fabrics are my favorite.
Kelie - I've been a follower of yours, almost from the Get-Go! I'd have to say the online tutorials helped me the most. When I first started quilting, I just floundered on my own. But it's so easy to pick things up here. If my grandmother were still alive, she would have been my Online Community - she was an awesome quilter.
I am a follower of The Intrepid Thread and have purchased fabric from Julie before. You're absolutely right about the great customer service she provides.
It's a tough choice, but I really like the LillyBelle bundle Julie has put together in Cool Sunrise Plus - the 'plus' is an excellent idea with coordinating fabrics for the bundle. Yep, it's on my Wish List!
Those dots a CUTE!! Ok, I'm a follower and I tell you the blogging comunity has been AMAZING for helping me!
Oh, DUHHHH Nightshade!! LOL (But I think you might have been able to guess that one! LOL)
I follow. I've been quilting for 10 years and what has helped me the most is the support of my mom. She started me quilting and I probably would have quite after my 3rd quilt ended up so wonky I didn't think it was salvageable, but she helped me fixed it and refused to let me quit. That being said, this community is a fantastic help too!!!
I absolutely love the dress up days line that Julie carries!
Books helped me the most when I first started quilting. I started quilting many years ago before the internet. The internet would have been a wonderful help to me if we had it back then!
I love the Lilly Belle fabric from the Intrepid Thread the best!
I am a follower of your blog!
I am a follower ;) and I love Intrepid thread! When I started out, my Aunt showed me how to do most, but I really loved the online videos. They helped me the most with the FMQ!
I like the Woodland Tails - Owl in Blue at Intrepid.
I am a follower of Intrepid Thread already ;)
Haven't started my first quilt yet, but will very soon because of YOUR encouragement!!!! TX
I love Apple of my eye. soooo cute!
I already get their newsletter and have ordered before. I loved the handwritten note too!!!
I am now a follower!! What helped me the most was the "Beginner Quilter" class, using Alex Anderson's book, at a local quilt shop and all the terrific help they provided even long after the class was done :) I love quilter communities, everyone is always helpful, encouraging and inspirational. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck, Everyone
When i started out I joined a quilt guild and they were great to help me with the basics.
I'm a new follower. When I first started quilting I did all mesurements in centimetres, but all blocks turned out more than wonky - I was ready to give it up again. Then I stumbled over Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville and her instructions for precise piecing in inches, and everything turned out just fine. I've to thank her for still being a quilter.
I'm a new follower of your blog. :-)
I'm already a follower of the The Intrepid Thread Blog.
I like the Bukhara FQ bundle best. The fabrics are fabulous!
What helped me the most was taking a basic class--learning the fundamentals of accurate cutting and piecing.
I love the Picadilly Circle bundle because I cannot get enough blue fabric!
I am a follower of Julie's!
I am a follower of yours!
I get the Intrepid Thread newsletter
question 2, I began quilting back in the 70s with no internet and very little to help so I am thinking it was lots of quilt books and trial and error.
Congratulations on your first blog hop - you're doing great! I'm a brand new quilter (and a new follower) and I guess like you, it is the quilt blogging community that drew me in. So many inspiring photos, generous tutorials, and much assurance that it isn't going to be perfect when you start. Thanks for the chance to win!

i really love la dee dah mishmash in golden- awesome!
Thanks to the blog hop I am now a follower of yours. Love the dots and I would never have known you were new to quilting if you had not said you were. You did soooo much better than I did when I first started. When I started quilting there was no internet so that tells you how old I am. What helped me the most were three ladies that took me under their wing and taught me how to quilt. In person help and guidance was my most valuable asset. As for ideas and inspiration there is nothing like the internet, amazing women and men with endless ideas and encouragement at your fingertips.
I'm a brand new follower! I have to agree with you - what helped me the most, was the online blogging community - all the tutorials, pictures of what everyone's making, etc.!
I love the Vintage Modern fabrics that she got in. :) Just love the color combinations in that line, the retro look, the houndstooth fabrics, and the RED!
I already follow the Intrepid Thread.
I am so looking forward to Mama Said Sew that is coming in August. I like the colors and the designs and really like the hoops pattern.
I am already a follower of Julie's. She has the most amazing sense of color and can put together the best bundles.
When I first started quilting, I asked my Grandmother a lot of questions! The next 2 things I
did, was first join a local quilting guild, and join some quilting groups on Yahoo.
I love Flea MArket Fancy.
I am already a follower of the Intrepid Thread blog. Thanks for

Claire (teacher) & the other students in the class are the greatest support & help in P & Q. I have just become a follower & also on Intrepid.
I just love those fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway.
I follow you, isn't it un to quilt.
The fabrics are delightful. I took a quilting class to help me learn more about how to cut, sew and hand quilt. Now I read blog and watch the tutorials, it's really fantastic. Thanks.
