GypsyWifeQALThroughout the year, we have been sewing up the Gypsy Wife blocks. Thank you so much to all the sponsors who supported us throughout the year. This month was the final month to pull it all together.
Pershing Block  IMG_1252I have to admit, this pattern was a challenge, and for me other things got in my way, so I am not sharing my finish this month. There have been great finishes already, and I have seen folks working hard to complete their final quilt.

Now to the give-away for the fabric selection process. I decided to draw two winners:

  1. One for those that linked-up (who wins the 1/2 yard bundle)
  2. For those that did post their photo on flickr – the winner will get a scrap bundle in a color of their choice.

Link-up Winner which was randomly chosen by random.org is #2: Joanna @ Riddle and Whimsy, who has pulled her collection of Christmas fabrics for the Gypsy Wife Quilt along.
