Okay, here we go ... a winner has been chosen, but first here are the fabrics that matched my clues -- so you can decide if you are disappointed or relieved ;-) if you didn't win.
Above are the "Dainty and Pretty." Those are half yards of Jennifer Paganelli fabric. Everything she makes is pretty in my opinion, but these two fabrics are also kind of dainty as far as her designs go. They are a smaller scale with tinier details.
Now "Banana" ... I don't know how well this colour will show on the computer, but it is a cheerful sunny bright banana yellow. It is a yard of a nice solid Northcott Papillon. Here's "Mix (and maybe not) Match." You can see they don't match. Those are FQs of Pure by Sweetwater for Moda, Flea Market Fancy yellow tiles, Mendocino fish by Heather Ross, and a Canada-only exclusive print of postcards of Canada. Here's my favourite. "Giant Mutant Grandmother's Flower Garden." Since the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt pattern is made up of hexies, you can see that this fabric has huge ones (8 inches across) And each hexagon has subdesigns in it. It is also a Jennifer Paganelli fabric from the Dance with Me line. That is a yard cut. And finally, for those who were willing to take my dare ... hee, hee ... one yard of Michael Miller Goth Girls. Not for everyone, I know, that is why it was the dare, but pretty cool in my opinion. (Also out-of-print now) I love fabric with faces and these ones have great style.
Aaaaannnndd, the winner, with the help of Random.org ...

Yay! Congrats Andrea!!! I'll be emailing you!
So hopefully I'll be back to regularly scheduled blogging soon. I think, fingers crossed, that I'm getting my sewing machine back tomorrow. I hope so as otherwise I may end up slicing and dicing my whole stash! Since it's been in for repair I've cut 350+ I-Spy Squares, 190 border pieces, all the strips for a strip quilt, and I've even cut binding! Yes, yikes, binding strips, the ultimate tedium!
Thanks so much to everyone who helped me celebrate my Blog-O-Versary! I loved reading the comments for all the giveaways -- lots of laughs and encouragement. Until next time, Happy Quilting!
