Wow what a great selection of colors. My favorites would have to be the blues and greens perfect for underwater scenes. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
I'm very keen to try art quilting but I'm a new quilter and so far I've been concentrating on learning the basics :)
These are gorgeous! Thanks for the chance for the giveaway.
I want to dive into art quilting now that I've been working on techniques in traditional quilting.
Thank you for such generous giveaways!
I want to do an art quilt though I actually haven't started yet - though it's more a special occasion quilt using the fabrics from that day to turn it into the scene of the event. At least that's the idea - weather I can convince the fabric to do what I want is another question all together. So maybe it's not an art quilt after all...
I definitely love art quilting and want to do more this year. I love the idea of using the quilt machine to do stitching, so I will be practicing free motion too.

I've bought all the supplies and I do mean all, I've taken some classes, but I still haven't really got out of my box yet. I need a big push! Thanks for a lovely give a way!
Lovely fabrics! The pinks are my favorites, followed by the blues. Can't wait to learn more about Art Quilting.
I'd love to try art quilting. I'm always amazed at the gorgeous art quilts I find online.
I have never tried art quilting, but I would love to try!
Hand dyes from any fellow quilter are real treasures - its fascinating to see how every dyer does their own thing and the effects that are obtained - if I was fortunate enough to be the lucky giveaway winner I think I'd have to go with the greens and I'd love to see how they worked in a project with my own hand dyed fabrics - thanks again Deborah for having this giveaway
What beautiful fabrics, would definitely love to give art quilting a go!
I love the fabrics, but have never tried art quilting. I am open to giving a do, definitely!

Beautiful! I would love to try art quilting.
I've been thinking about art quilts one day. These fabrics are gorgeous, and will certainly inspire the winner!

These are beautiful and would look amazing in a quilt for my niece.

Thx for the chance to win ^^v
oh those fabrics are gorgeous - what a wonderful giveaway! I haven't done art quilting but I'm happy to give it a try!
I haven't tried but it is something that always catches my eye, I think the hardest thing is knowing where to start, it looks so complicated!
Such beautiful fabrics, I love hand dyed fabrics.
Nice fabric! I would love to try art-quilting some time.
Those fabrics look good enough to eat , wow , they are gorgeous and I would sure be happy to win them and start an art quilt. I have done a few landscape quilts but want to do many more .Thanks for the chance.
the fabrics are gorgeous! yes, I'd like to have a go at art quilts, though I'm not very artistic, I just want to try everything - how do you know you don't like it if you haven't tried it?
Ive just started quilting and art quilting does intimidate me but I will probably try it if I win your giveaway : ) Thanks for the chance

I'm still not convinced I should spend time on something that doesn't keep you warm when it's finished. However, I'd find a home for your gorgeous fabrics in a traditional quilt.
I'm up for trying anything at least once. I would want to start out small though, just to get my feet wet and see how it goes.
i really want to try a portrait quilt in the new year. i'm a wee bit scared though, since i'm really bad at drawing! gooberific @ yahoo.com
would love to try art quilting
I never tried quilting but would love to do it with such a beautiful fabrics!
Oh, those look incredible. I usually trend towards a simplistic modern style, but I think it would be fun to use such gorgeous fabrics for art quilting!
I've seen some beautiful art quilts before, and always wanted to try!
I've dabbled with a bit of art quilting in a sort of Pop Art sense, but I'd love to try something more relaxing and subtle that would actually fit with my decor :)
I've played a little with art quilts, nothing wonderful yet, but I'll get there.
I don't know how anyone can choose from your assortment, it's awesome! I found you thru the Quilting Gallery hop and immediately subscribed in Reader. Your work is brilliant! and yes I do want to do art quilts. I consider myself a little artsy in anything I do anyway and just need to work on pushing myself more and having more confidence.
after seeing your kits, I know what I'll try to make everyone for Xmas next year!
These are beautiful. I have done some collage quilts, does that count? I really love those blues, perfect for sky or sea.
They are pretty fabrics. I would love to try but it seems out of my range!! Maybe in I try it will be fun!!
beautiful! haven't tried but thanks for the inspiration!
I do love art quilting!

I love art quilt and have played a bit in them. I would enjoy doing more of them.
I have never tried art quilting, and it would definitely be outside my comfort zone at this point, but I have seen some gorgeous quilts made using this technique.

I'm a pretty new quilter so I'm still exploring what's out there, I would love to learn art quilting!
I haven't tried art quilting but I think its intersting.
I would love to give it a try when the kids are a bit older and I have more time.
I love the possibilities that are present in your fabrics - very inspiring!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
I haven't tried it, but I'm not much of a quilter..so I'm not sure! froggygirldesigns at gmail dot com

Merry Christmas!

It would be a really cool thing to try and branch out with art quilting. It's a bit intimidating to me.
These kits are gorgeous! I would love to have one and give myself a challenge to piece and layer fabric without much forethought. I would like to be a little more improvisational in my quilting to create more of an art piece.
Thanks!
Lovely giveaway! I've never tried Art Quilting. Your Flickr pages are wonderful!
I would like to try art quilting. I want to make quilts of sewing machines, lol.
I love the greens. I have started making mini quilts, but not quite confident enough for art quilts yet.
Ohhhhh, I want to try!
I have always wanted to try art quilting!
So beautiful, I would love to do art quilting but I am not there yet
Gorgeous shades! I've been thinking about doing some sort of bird-in-a-meadow theme, and I could certainly use these lovely fabrics. :-)
I was actually just thinking about this interesting art when a friend asked me if I pixelated a drawing of his, would I be able to quilt it? Hmmm... might have to give it a try.
i just ordered a kit from Carrie at believemagic (http://www.etsy.com/shop/believemagic?ref=em )she's got some amazing girl art quilts and I hope I can make something awesome too! so, I would use these fabric pieces to make a background, or skirt, dress, top, hair bow, whatever! It would be SO awesome to win! thanks!
I'm not at the level of trying art quilting yet...but I'll get there! Love the greens - thanks for the chance!

I love the look of art quilts but have not tried any as I think I am more of a pattern person than one who thinks up my own designs.
I like a combination of pattern and art...
Oh yes, I just bought a few books on art quilting and intend to try my hand next year. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I haven't tried art quilts before but I found your blog about a month ago and I feel inspired to try. I think I might start with one of your etsy kits though. Thanks for the lovely giveaway. kcarlson1152[at]hotmail.com
Such beautiful fabric! I am not a quilter, tried once but prefer to make clothing.
Really like your hand painted fabrics, thanks for the chance to win!
What a lot of beautiful fabrics! They're so gorgeous.
I haven't really done any kind of art quilting before, except for some very small fabric postcards which might maybe fit into that category. (And most of those wouldn't have.) One of my favourite blogs to read Believe Magic does this really lovely art quilts and she's recently started selling kits (hers feature women doing different things or revealing different facets of their personalities), which I bought, so that I can try it out. I'm both excited and slightly terrified about the idea.

Those look like very beautiful fabrics. It's a technique I'm not familiar with but I certainly wouldn't mind learning more about it!
I'd love to try art quilting. I'm not sure I'm there yet, technique-wise... but I hope to be !
o so beautiful. thanks for the generosity.

I am not sure if I made an art quilt before. But your works look stunning!

I think I would like to try art quilting one day.
I don't think I'm at art quilting level yet. I' a newbie into the quilting world, so I need to get the basics down.
Beautiful fabric.
I would love to give art quilting a try, I have seen such beautiful things created with this method! Thanks for the chance to win
Love your fabrics Deb and your designs. Thanks for the chance to win it

I have been wanting to try an art quilt and this would be wonderful! I love the whole thing.... thanks so much
Thinking sky and moonlight....
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance! And yes, I've started to try my hand at art quilts.
Lovely fabric packs. Just getting into art quilting, at the stage where I haven't tried yet but want to get started so looking at ideas.
would love to try, sounds interesting, but also sounds like a lot of work
I do enjoy art quilting and would love to work with some of this fabric, especially the blues.
I'd love to try some art quilting in some future year when "necessity" sewing for a young family slacks off a bit and maybe (someday) I'll have a little more space to do it in.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I would like to try art quilting. I have one pattern that I would try, but adapt a bit so suit my style.
I had never heard of art quilting before this blog. I'll have to look it up. I'm pretty new to sewing and haven't done any regular quilts yet but I think that will be a 2012 project.
I have never heard of art quilting, but it looks pretty amazing. Thanks for the intro!

I'd love to think what I do might be considered 'art' one day. Ho hum, it's great to have aspirations and I'd say purple if I'm fortunate enough to win. Thank you so much for your lovely blog and sharing of ideas and skills
i would love to try it- i always admire the work of others!
I've not worked with hand painted fabrics before and would love the chance. happy holidays
Art quilting, hand-dyeing, and embellishing are all on my 2012 list. Very excited about this (especially love the greens!) Thanks!
I have not tried the land of art quilting, but I don't know ONE person who has tried it, that hasn't loved it!!I'm fairly new to quilting, so I still am learning the basics to traditional ways.
Those fabrics are beautiful! I am always ready to try new methods of quilt making!
Thank you! heatherkowens (at) yahoo dot com

These are very pretty. I have a few patterns that I could use for this. Also some postcard patterns.

Thanks for the opportunity to win! :)
