On to the Winners!

I think this was our toughest challenge to pick winners! Somehow, we narrowed down our favorites and here they are…..

Overall Winner: Betsy

EQ Honorable Mention: Janet B.

Christa’s Honorable Mention: Mel B.

The three winners will receive the Fandangle fabrics from Benartex to make their quilt! Thanks again to everyone who participated – we are astonished by our users’ talent! :-D

Have you heard about EQ Artist, Christa Watson’s new fabric line, Fandangle?! It’s so cute and perfect for all kinds of projects!

Christa says: “Fandangle is a fun – but real – word that means embellishment or ornamentation. It’s my tongue-in-cheek nod to the fact that I don’t actually embellish my quilts with buttons, baubles, or beads, but I DO like to bling them up with fabric and thread. :-)

Here’s a peek at the fabrics:

EQ Design Challenge featuring Fandangle fabrics by Christa Watson

We thought an EQ design challenge would be a fun way to play with these new fabrics and Benartex was nice enough to supply FREE FABRIC for the winners! Here are the details:

To enter, submit a picture of your EQ quilt design below using the Fandangle fabrics by August 31, 2018.

Download the free Fandangle fabrics for EQ here.
