The 2nd Craftopotamus Quiltaway!


One year ago today... 


I started a blog named Craftopotamus.


Time sure does fly.


Over 41,000 pageviews, over 400 followers, a couple dozen features, 3 Blogger's Quilt Festivals, and 2 semesters of grad school later, I'm still in it and loving it.



In celebration of creating, blogging, and all of the wonderful people I have met along the way, I am giving away another quilt.


This one, in fact.  It's called Urban Utility I.  That's partly because it was based off of the City Tracks pattern in Cherri House's City Quilts book and partly because some of the colors and quilting remind me of those utility blankets that are used for moving furniture.  And the "I" is because I am working on "II" as we speak, but I'll be keeping that one for myself.  :)


This quilt is my first foray into solids and I have to say, I am hooked.  I bought myself a Kona solids card and haven't looked back. 


It's also the first time I've done any straight line quilting that wasn't done by hand.  It is crazy to me that I have been quilting for almost 6 years, I've done tons of meandering quilting and designs, but have only just now bought myself a walking foot with a guide.  It's almost embarassing!  The finished quilt measures roughly 58" by 75" and is made with all cotton fabrics and batting.


I tell you, I just love this creative journey and having such a great way to share it.  Every day I am amazed by the warm and genuine bloggers I have found on my journey and am continually inspired by YOUR work.  The talent you all have is amazing.  And thank you for following along with me, even when grad school gets the better of my time.


So, are you ready to hear the Quiltaway rules?  They're pretty simple.

You have 5 chances to enter.  Each comment is considered an entry (no more than five per person):

1. Leave a comment about this quilt or what you might do with it if you win it or about what blogging has meant to you.

2. Become a follower.  Just leave a comment, whether you're a new follower or old, just saying that you are one.

3. "Like" Craftopotamus on Facebook and leave me a comment here to let me know you did (or that you already have).  Follow the button for a quick link...


4. Share this post or the Craftopotamus link to this post on your Facebook page (and then come back here and leave me a comment saying you did.

5. Blog about this quiltaway or post one of my buttons (located in my sidebar) on your blog.  Let me know which you did and post the link in the comment.


Please make sure there is a way for me to contact you by email!  This quiltaway will run from now through Thursday, June 9th at 9:00pm.  The winner will be drawn by random number generator and announced Friday, June 10th at 9:00am.


I'll be linking this quilt up to lots of my favorite link parties including Amy's Sew & Tell and Met Monday... be sure to check out my newly remodeled Link Parties tab and all the awesome inspiration you can find at all of these parties - you won't regret it!

GOOD LUCK!!  I hope YOU win!

    What a beautiful quilt. I prefer solid colors, as well, and would enjoy this in my home. I started blogging less than a year ago, and have enjoyed it. It has helped to keep me motivated to sew and finish projects I start. I believe I've done more sewing this year than the last number of years put together! Thanks for your inspiration. I may need to get a copy of the urban quilt book, and try one myself!

    Hey sis, I'm sure my comment will get lost among this bunch and this is not a comment to try the quilt - although it is beautiful! Since I'm already getting one of yours soon, I don't want to be greedy. :) We can share the quilt love around.

    I just wanted to say that your blog stats are amazing!! I am so proud of you and your crafting efforts. It is really something to be proud of, so I hope you take some time to pat yourself on the back.

    I am also very proud of you for going back to graduate school with a child and family! That takes courage. You are half way through the massive effort and have done so awesome. Again, I hope you take some time to revel in your success!

    I love you!

    I would love it and cherish it and look at the wonderful colours every day! My favourite colours are any variation of blue - across the spectrum from green to purple! Our bedroom is also grey and blue, so it would match perfectly! I am still in the process of finishing my very first quilt, and it is made of all solids, which I love!
    Thanks for the chance to win such a generous giveaway, you amaze me!

    Oh Cecily, you KNOW how much I'm adoring this quilt. The colors are divine and remind me of the sea. I'm hoping that you get a chance to read this, as opposed to cluttering up your comments with five different comments, I thought I'd tell you that I've done all five things already!! =]

    1.) If I won, I'd give this to my husband. He LOVES quilts, and I'm definitely no good at making them. It would also have a prominent home on our relaxing reading chair. =]

    2.) I am a new follower!! Yay!!

    3.) I "Like" you on Facebook, I really like you!!

    4.) I posted a link on my Facebook page.

    5.) I also added a button on my post. ^_^

    Thanks for the opportunity to win such a fabulous quilt!! And thank you also for such a sweet comment on my post. I look forward to seeing more from you!!

    Hey Cec! Ok...it ate my last comment, so let's try this again...I'm neither a blogger nor a quilter, but since I remember when you brought in that magazine with the inspiration for this quilt to school, I thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. Plus, it's "Urban" :)

    1) I'd use this quit as my non-winter bed cover (I have a down comforter for that). This will be especially nice for cuddling with my kitties on these cold, climate change-induced spring nights.

    2) I'm following you by email now! This is good since I already clicked on all your posts through Facebook.

    3) And of course, I've liked you on FB.

    I subscribed and now I'm going to tell you what I'd do! I just LOVE quilts. I have one made by my dad's mother and it's just one of the most precious things I have. If I won, this quilt would definitely have a place of honour in my house because it's made with love and heart and you just can't match that. It would be used for guests so that they get an extra hug of love at night from the love that went into making the quilt. And be sure that EVERYONE would know that it was made with loving hands and just how very precious it is because of that!

    beautiful quilt! I have made 3 quilts so far, and blogged about the experience of each. Always struggles, but the end product is so worth it.
    I would use this one as inspirations, and proudly use it either on my bed, or keep it to use on the couch, where actually the quilt I made for my hubby is put to good use. I would not have to share his, but would use this for me.

    We usually make bed sized quilts or baby quilts that give away. Your quilt is lovely - perfect colors for my mother - so I'm entering for her (she saw your photo and wanted to try). So, if we are so fortunate as to win, my 80ish mother will have this lap quilt to use in her chair for when she gets chilly. Thanks for the chance.

    This is the first time I have visited your blog. Found out about this giveaway on Craft Gossip. I went to your Facebook page and am now a subscriber. What would I do with the quilt - I'm new to quilting and I have been using bright "girly colors". My son, who is a police officer, said he would like a quilt, but with "manly" colors. So, this quilt would be a gift for him. I love the simplicity and boldness of the quilt - just beautiful!
