Update – This contest is now closed. The winner is Chloe!
I’m emerging from my wedding-induced blogging hiatus with exciting news! I am so thrilled that the publisher of Fresh Quilting has offered me a copy to give away. Fresh Quilting: Fearless Color, Design and Inspiration by Malka Dubrawsky is my favourite quilting book.
I only started quilting about a year ago and this is one of the books I bought to learn from. Not only is it a great resource if you want to try quilting for the first time, the projects are inspiring for quilters at any level of experience. ¬†And it’s beautifully designed – I’ve picked it up dozens of times just to flip through.
Malka’s style involves using a lot of colour and improvisational piecing and in Fresh Quilting she offers techniques and tips for getting comfortable with both. All of the projects in the book are beautiful, but some of my favourites are:
Nate’s Quilt – I just love this style of improvisational piecing. It’s something I will definitely try soon. And I adore how this photo is styled.

Strips and Stripes Quilt – Malka has written that this is her favourite quilt in the book, and I agree it’s stunning.

Modern Baby Quilt – The colour, pattern and quilting make this such a unique, beautiful gift.

Malka’s first fabric collection, A Stitch in Color, is launching at Quilt Market next month. The collection is beautiful, colourful, bright – everything you’d expect from her. I can’t wait to see it in Houston. Yay!
I’ll be doing a drawing for a winner for the book at the end of the month. If you’d like to win (and you should really want to win this if you don’t have Fresh Quilting already!) please leave me a note in the comments. Contest limited to the UK residents please.
Hi Annie, I would absolutely LOVE to win this book. I have about a million t-shirts with logos from different events of my life just picking up dust in my wardrobe. I have been meaning to make a quilt out of them but I have no idea where to start. Hopefully, Malka’s book will deliver the instruction I need! Laura X
I’d love to enter please! My mum loves making quilts so we could share it!!
What a lovely book, please can I enter. I am looking for a new quilting project. Rachel
I’d love to win this book…I need inspiration for my next quilt!
Hi Annie,
This book looks beautiful! I’m in a knitting club and I am the least talented member. I’d really love to read about quilting to give me some fresh ideas for the club!
Thanks, Rebecca
Although an enthusiastic knitter, I have not made a quilt in years. Would love to own this book and would be grateful if you could put me on your mailing list.
Many thanks, Donna
Hiya,
What a warm and wonderful crations you are making – I took up quilting lessons from my mum and making a first quilted blanket for my Son! Loving it!
Would love a copy of this book. I am keen to start quilting, have some material, a sewing machine but I am terrified to start. This would definatley help. Keep seeing all those wonderful quilts people are creating in Blogland. Yum!!
This looks a brilliant book – I’d love to win a copy!
I’d like to have a go at ‘Nate’s Quilt’
I would love to win the book – just started quilting this year and addicted already!
Hello, I may be too late for this, but it looks like a fantastic book – something I’ve always wanted to do and now with 2 small children, running out of cash to buy myself books to learn!!
Thank you
I hope I’m not too late to enter. I’d love to win this. I’ve been looking at getting into something new and this book looks like a lovely place to start!
Have just discovered your blog and gutted I’ve missed the deadline to win this book, looks fab!
I would love to win this book. I have a very random collection of fabrics and it looks as if this book would give me inspiration as to what to do with it.
I would love to win one of these! I’ve just started getting crafty and some inspiration is always welcome!
PS LOVE that favorite quilt – I want one!
