The Fat Quarter Shop with Barb Adams and Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs have teamed up to present you with a Fat Quarter Shop Exclusive! Blackbird Designs has specially selected 12 prints from their Blueberry Crumb Cake collection along with 3 coordinating Bella Solids for this special bundle you will only find at the Fat Quarter Shop.
Q: What inspired you to pick the colors and designs in your Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle?
A: In planning our fabric line, Barb and I were discussing the palette. I was tired of picking the usual colors and asked Barb what she thought about a two or three colorway. She loved the idea so we began to think of the colors we loved to use.
Blue and cream shades in vintage two color quilts always call to us. They look clean, crisp and graphic on a bed. They feel like "home." Warm brown tones seemed to be the perfect complement to the blue shades.
For color inspiration we looked at vintage pieces of fabric. These rag balls give an idea of what inspired our newest line Blueberry Crumb Cake.
We didn’t want all of the blue prints to be one shade of blue. Lighter ones were added to the collection too.
We love this line! It's become one of our favorites. Weekend, our newest quilting book, is packed with great ideas highlighting our fabric.
Need a free project to try out Blueberry Crumb Cake? Visit our blog.
*2 Truths and a Lie*
1. I have only been to one country fair.
2. Barb and I design cross stitch patterns also, and that’s why we try to include a sampler print in our fabric lines.
3. Barb and I hate chocolate!
One of the 3 statements is false. Comment on this post telling me which statement you think is false. Answer correctly and you have a chance to win Blackbird Designs’s Designer Select Fat Quarter Bundle!
You have exactly one week from the post date.
Good Luck!

ReplyDeletethe "untruth" would be ... oh dear, who hates chocolate? but maybe you do? ok, i'm going with hating chocolate is false.. it's gotta be false.. come one chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false:) The fabrics are absolutly fantastic.
ReplyDeleteBest,Debuko.
Has to be #3! We were just talking about this at work, when there were TWO chocolate cakes for the birthday celebration and NOTHING else! :)
ReplyDeleteSandy A
Number 3 must be a lie. At least in my household. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

My guess is #2. Just a hunch.
ReplyDelete#3 - chocolate is just too good :)
ReplyDeleteI am going with number 3!
ReplyDeleteI just love the new line and the blue shades, gorgeous.
Debbie
Well I know that some people don't like chocolate, but to have 2 people who are business partners and who both hate it...that just seems like it can't be true!
ReplyDeleteSo I'll guess it's number 3.

ReplyDeleteI'm going to say #3 is false.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteFeeling very brain dead and I so wanna get this one right. Just deleted my last incorrect post - I'm so nervous! :P
ReplyDeleteHas to be #3 - just has to.
(Note to self: pleeeeeeeeeease be right!)
Who hates chocolate??!! I'm picking Number 1 ... though it seems everyone knows something about you I just can't imagine to be true!
ReplyDeleteI think it's #1. Anyone over 10 has gone to more than one county fair!
ReplyDeleteMaybe one person NOT LIKING CHOCOLATE, but two? My guess is that number three is the lie.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3! I love the colours!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing no.3 as well...I may not love chocolate as much as I do chips but when it's offered I never refuse LOL :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteI think # 3 is false. The new line of fabric is so pretty. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false. How could 2 women hate chocolate (I say as I'm snacking on chocolate covered espresso beans)?
ReplyDeleteNicole
#3 is a big fat fib. I love these fabrics so much!
ReplyDeleteMary
#3 is a lie. A lie it is. It has to be a lie! Who in the world hates chocolate??? LOL. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'll guess #3 too--- just finished off a bag of Peanut M&M's-- so maybe that's influencing my thought process?... :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quiz!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is crazy enough to be true so I am going to go with #1
I'm thinking the the lie is that you hate chocolate. It doesn't seem possible to hate it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #3, who doesn't love chocolate.
ReplyDelete#3 is the lie, although I do know someone that is allergic!
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on Blueberry Crumb Cake for months now, waiting for it to come out - I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteWhich one is the lie? I know number one is true, I'm pretty sure number two is true, so that leaves number three as the "un-truth".
Thanks for a great giveaway!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!!
#3....Chocolate.... I love seeing all the blues! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteI know you design cross stitch because I've seen those designs, and it's hard to believe you don't like chocolate so I'm guessing number 1.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be #3. Chocolate is one of the essential food groups.
ReplyDeletehas to be hates chocolate.....who hates chocolate?
ReplyDeleteChocolate haters? Can't be...I think #3 is false.
ReplyDeletei'm going with the general consensus here, i guess #3.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is #2...This line is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDelete#3 is false. Who doesn't like chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteI know there are people out there... somewhere... who hate chocolate, but I'm going out on a limb to see that y'all aren't counted among those numbers. Number 3 is false!
ReplyDelete- sunshdws at yahoo dot com
I think the answer is number 3. Surely they don't hate chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet #3 is false. it has to be.
ReplyDeleteGotta be #3 that's false! Beautiful fabric as always!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing #1!
ReplyDeletemarlenereimer@mts.net
I'm going with #3. Strange, but you never know... :)
ReplyDeletei'm going to go with 2
ReplyDeleteI don't know anyone who hates chocolate so I'm guessing #3. Love the Blueberry Crumb Cake bundle - thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's number 3. Who hates chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteThe new Blueberry Crumb Cake is my favorite new fabric line. I'm planning a new quilt for my bed with this line. Can't wait to get my new Weekend book..
Jan
Oh, the untruth has to be #3! How could you hate chocolate?
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 has to be a lie - if both hate chocolate that would just be very very sad! ;)
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is false. It is not possible to design such fabulous fabric and not like chocolate:)
ReplyDeleteThe false statement is you hate chocolate. It's just got to be. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing #3 is the lie .... love this fabric. Got excited about it the first time I laid eyes on it!
ReplyDeleteMy first guess was #3 as the false statement. I did a bit of research on one of my favorite blogs - Blackbird Designs - and I am sticking with #3 being false.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry Crumb Cake is my "to die for" favorite new fabric. Hopefully Santa is reading this!
Number 1 is false!
ReplyDeleteHurray!!! Love the blues!!!
#3 just has to be false - seriously!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with #3! Thanks for the chance to win some fabulous fabric! I ♥ the Blackbird gals!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh!
ReplyDeletePlease delete my lst entry.
I went back over your blogs and I just knew I was wrong.
Statement #3 is false.
Number 3 is false. Love the blueberry crumb cake.
ReplyDeleteOf course #3 is false. There's no way BOTH ladies hate chocolate!!
ReplyDeleteIt's gotta be #3. Love the fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing #3.
ReplyDeleteourbusylittlebunch(at)hotmail(dot)com
I believe #3 has to be it!
ReplyDeleteIt must be #3 since 1 and 2 are true. I love your new fabric, would love to win and make the project. viv
ReplyDeleteMy guess is #3!! Thanks for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is the lie!
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be the easiest quiz ever... #3 is a lie, lie, lie!!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing #3 is a lie!
ReplyDeleteI believe No. 1 is false. Lovely fabric. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteOh nuts. I need to guess again. No. 3 is false.
ReplyDeleteI hope its #3. Lovely fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this fabric. Almost as much as I love chocolate!! Hahaha #3 is the lie. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDelete#3 is false
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking #3.. How could there be two people who hate chocolate?? In the whole world.. NO.. I just don't believe it!!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false - and I LOVE this new line...it's on my christmas wish list for sure :) Is the book available yet? Laurie
ReplyDeletellsbaskets@comcast.net
Who could hate chocolate? I'll say #3 is a lie.
ReplyDelete#3!
ReplyDeleteIt's #3! Love the new blue fabric!
ReplyDeleteI am going with number 3. I have some of this fabric and can't wait to use it:)
ReplyDeleteSince I have only been to the fair twice I think one is completely plausible. So I am going with number one.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope I win! Thank you for the chance!
#3 is false. One person maybe doesn't like chocolate, but no way that both of you hate it. I keep thinking of my grandmother's berry cobbler when I look at your fabric. Can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false.....could anyone really hate chocolate??
ReplyDeleteI hate chocolate too - and I know how false that statement is!
ReplyDelete#3 is the lie! how two people together could both hate chocolate is incomprehensible.. i all my considerable years, i have never met one person who hated it.
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between 1 and 3. I'm going to say 3 is the lie.
ReplyDeleteNo body hates Chocolate!! LOl Please enter me in your drawing. Love the material..
ReplyDeleteHugs, Shar

Wow, though I don't 'hate' chocolate,I really don't care much for chocolate candy. Cakes, brownies, etc. are a different story. So, I know it's possible that they 'hate' chocolate but I just don't think so. I'm going with # 3 as the lie. One of them might hate chocolate but I don't think both of them do. Thanks so much for a chance. I love this beautiful fabric collection. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteWow, it's got to be #1! I'm crazy about this line and already bought some ... would love to have more!
ReplyDelete# 3, definitely!
ReplyDeleteFabrics are wonderful as usual!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely #3 is not true.
Oh, lots of #3's, but I think I read this somewhere, so I will say hate chocolate.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure #3 is false. The Blueberry Crumb Cake fabrics are gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletecome 'on.....hate chocolate? no way. #3 has GOT TO BE false.
ReplyDelete#3 just has to be false! Thanks for the chance. I love this fabric line.
ReplyDelete#3 is false. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays I love blueberry crumb...just beautiful. I am going to say #1 the fair. I have only been to one myself and so I say that can be it. And since I really love the fabric I hope that makes me in the running......take care
ReplyDeleteI think #1 is the lie. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDelete#3 IS SURELY A LIE!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU FOR A BEAUTIFUL GIVEAWAY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL ♥
I just adore your Blueberry Crumb Cake! My guess is that #3 is the lie. Thanks for the lovely giveway, and wishing you all a very happy Christmas
ReplyDeleteI would say #3 is false. Beautiful fabrics as always!
ReplyDeletei believe that #1 is false. everything else has to be true! love the collection.
ReplyDelete#3 is not true.
ReplyDeleteLove the blueberry colors and the book looks great!
# i is false. I love the sampler patterns.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be number 3 surely, I know someone who doesn't like chocolate but...two people working together? Nah don't thinks so!! I love Blueberry Crumb, just got a layer cake and it's even better "in person"
ReplyDeleteMaybe 3 cause I love chocolate.
ReplyDeleteYou and Barb hate chocolate is false!
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves chocolate! Your new line of fabric is just the best!
Janet Kay
Nobody hates chocolate...smiles...so I say #3.
ReplyDeleteThe new line of fabrics is gorgeous.
Merry Christmas
Lynn
Nr 3 of course ;)
ReplyDeleteI cannot wrap my brain around TWO people hating chocolate, so I'm going with #3! And the fabric is just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine two people hating chocolate so I'm going with 1. That's a beautiful line of fabric!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that comment #3 where you hate chocolate is false as I can't imagine you both hating chocolate. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this fabric line!
Cynthia
You know that you just love the chocolate so it was be #3.
ReplyDeleteI too love the blue/cream combinations and blueberry crumb is gorgeous!!!!
There are two people in my family who hate chocolate so that could be true but I think that two friends who hate chocolate is a bit of a stretch so I am going with #3 being the lie.
ReplyDeleteI hope I am right as I love this fabric.
I love this line of fabric! Blue is my favorite color. I think #3 is a lie.
ReplyDeleteYo estoy esperando recibir mis telas de esta colección.
ReplyDeleteMe sumaré a la mayorÃa y contesto que la falsa es la 3.
Besos
This line looks as "yummy" as its name, its so scrumptious. My guess would be that the "untruth" is that you both hate chocolate. I mean, how delightful "blueberry crumb" would be with white chocolate chips?
ReplyDeleteMay chocolate Always win!
Blueberry crumb cake is delightful!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing that #3 is the false statement.
No. 3 is the lie. Does anyone really hate chocolate? Not overly fond...maybe :) I am definitely overly fond of Blueberry Crumble!
ReplyDeleteI think statement 3 is false . I live in Belgium and we have the best chocolate and " pralines " , come over and try!!
ReplyDeleteThe blueberry crumb cake line is gorgeous .
The false statement must be no.3, surely.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI adore Blueberry Crumb Cake the colors are fantastic and the false is 3. Barb and I hate chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say #3 is false.
ReplyDeleteI love all your fabrics lines! I can't wait to get Blueberry Crumb Cake. I have to say that I believe #1 is false.
ReplyDelete#3 must be false! No woman doesn't like chocolate...
ReplyDeleteI know it is statement 3 that is false! They love chocolate!
ReplyDeleteI do too - the only thing better is probably their Blueberry Crumb Cake-line O:)
Ineke Platvoet
#3 is the answer! Love the colors used in this collection, the tan and blue is so pretty together!
ReplyDeleteMery Christmas! Laura JB
#3 is the false one. Beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's surely number three. The fabric is absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDelete#3 must be the lie.........
ReplyDeleteI just saw Blueberry Crumb Cake in my local quilt shop on Thursday and it was yummy, yummy, yummy! I could almost taste the blueberries and cream! As blue is my favorite color, this bundle would feel very "at home" in my stash!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is incorrect. Fan4may at aol dot com
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false. What are the odds of 2 people hating chocolate??? (I don't know anyone who hates chocolate.)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess that number 3 is false. I know number 2 is true so it was between 1 and 3. Not sure where you live so I don't know if 1 is true or not.
ReplyDeleteIt MUST be #3! How can anyone hate chocolate???
ReplyDeleteI think the incorrect one is not liking chocolate. Maybe one may not like choc--but two? This is one of the prettiest 2011 lines released! Oh, I would so love to win a fat quarter bundle! This would be better than picking blueberries!
ReplyDeleteWhat woman in her right mind doesn't love chocolate? Number three is definitely false! Thanks for the chance to win this wonderful collection!
ReplyDeleteYou do not hate chocolate. Love these blues.
ReplyDeleteDenise

ReplyDeleteI believe that #3 is false. Chocolate is the best, besides this beautiful fabric that is. Thanks for a chance to win some.
ReplyDelete#1 is the false statement.
ReplyDeleteKay H
This is false - 3. Barb and I hate chocolate!
ReplyDeleteThx!
I'm guessing Barb and Alma love chocolate like the rest of us. Beautiful blues.
ReplyDeleteI love this new line especially the sampler piece.
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false.
I think number 1 is false. Beautiful fabrics, blue and cream are just so yummy!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is false - who hates chocolate!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fabric. As with most people, I thing #3 is false.
ReplyDeleteHeidi
I'll betting #3 is a BIG LIE!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with all the shades of blue in this line!! #3 is the lie, I do not know one women that hates chocolate.
ReplyDeleteMy instinct tells me #1 is false but I think I'm the only person in America who doesn't like chocolate! Sooo I'm going with number 3!
ReplyDeleteWhen you don't know all that much about a person's personal life, anything is possible. So randomly chosen I chose #1, just because. Your fabric is gorgeous. I love blue and brown tones together. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think the Blueberry Crumb Cake line is so beautiful and soothing. Beautiful...I think #3 is false.
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with #3, great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that you both hate chocolate...so, it's got to be #3 that's the lie. Just saying... Anyone for a piece of Godiva chocolate?
ReplyDeleteI'll say number 3 and just love the light blue/grey fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
First of all, I have to say that the new fabric line is my favorite so far!! I love the blues and I will probably buy an entire bolt of the denim sampler--love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure number 3 is the wrong statement--everyone loves a little chocolate.
Karen in Breezy Point
no one hates chocolate...so # 3 has to be the false statement....I love the blues and ivory in the blueberry crumb cake line.....cant wait to start a quilt with it ! Thanks for the opportunity to win a fat quarter bundle ! and Merry Christmas everyone !
ReplyDeleteThe incorrect answer would be 3. Barb and I hate chocolate!.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the chance! :)
A lot of people seem to think it is #3, but I'm going with #1. Just because you love fabric and quilts doesn't mean you live in the country. Hope I'm right, either way, I love your site.
ReplyDeleteI am going with #3 -
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is just gorgeous - The colors remind me of my daughters eyes - She would look lovely wrapped in these fabrics !!
My guess is #1 is the lie. Thanks for the great giveaway. I love this fabric!!
ReplyDeleteI would also say #3 has got to be a lie. Yes, who hates chocolate? it's far too good. I would love to make something with this blueberry crumble line.
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is the lie- I remember reading your past blog about only going to the fair once. I would love to win the fabric. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI say number 3 is false ;) I love Blueberry Crumbcake, blue is my favorite color!
ReplyDeleteI'm going with #3 as well. I hope I'm right because that fabric is totally calling to me!=) Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDelete1 person not liking chocolate possible. 2 people and partners at that improbable. Going with #3.
ReplyDeleteNumber 1, because I hate chocolate.
ReplyDeleteLove all the blues.
Merry Christmas to all from Denmark
I think #3 is a lie. I can believe 1 person not liking chocolate, but not 2 people! That would be way too strange! Love Blueberry Crumbcake fabrics!! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't care for chocolate, but I know I'm in the minority. I'll say #3.
ReplyDeleteI think #1 is false, because I know you guys get around and a country fair is right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteHolly from Webberville, MI
i think #3 is a lie. I love your fabric and cross stitch patterns!
ReplyDeleteAlthough it is something completely not understandable to me at all, I am sure #3 is the lie.
ReplyDeleteThose are just gorgeous fabrics.
It must be a lie that Barb and Alma hate chocolate. Love the Blueberry Crumb Cake fabrics.
ReplyDelete#3 is a lie, I like the blue fabrics !!!!
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is a lie. This fabric line is just beautiful! I love it.
ReplyDeleteAQLC: All quilters love chocolate! Therefore #3 must be a lie. Quilts and chocolate are food for the soul! These fabrics call to my soul. Gorgeous. Thanks for the chance to have them.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with #3 also. I love this fabric bundle. I love the blues and creams. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI think it is #3. Love your new line, havent had the opportunity to purchase yet. this is last week of school before winter break so then i will do some serious fabric buying. have all your fabric lines in some shape or form.thanks for the chance on your great giveaway.
ReplyDelete#3 is FALSE And I would love to get my EYEBALLS on that BOOK!
ReplyDelete#3 is false. I know they design cross stitch patterns, I cross stitch too. It's right on the blog that she has only been to one country fair, so that leaves #3!
ReplyDeleteHate chocolate has to it, so number #3. Beautiful blues, I can see the twin quilt, doll quilt, curtains and pillows for a little girl"s room. Thank you for a chance.
ReplyDeleteI think #3 is false. The fabric is just gorgeous!! Thanks for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI believe number 1 is false. Love the fabric and thanks for the chance to win some!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is liked by Barb and Alma. Let's face it chocolate sometimes is a vitamin to get projects done.
ReplyDelete"Hate" is such a strong, definitive word. Hating one kind of chocolate, sure--just last night I said I despise white chocolate. But to say, "I hate chocolate, full stop"? I'm guessing #3 is the untrue statement.
ReplyDeleteI am also going with the hate chocolate being the false one. One person might hate chocolate but two???? And the fact that they are friends??? Love this line of their fabric.
ReplyDeleteJean
I'm going with the flow on this one. I mean, who hates chocolate??? So #3 is my vote.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way I can delete my previous comment? 142?
ReplyDeleteI would guess that number 3 is the lie.
ReplyDeleteI'm picking #3. Such calming fabric. Love the blues.
ReplyDeleteI think #1.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of the new fabric. Hating chocolate is the lie, I hope.
ReplyDeleteI know some folk don't like chocolate much, but it would be too much of a coincidence if you both didn't like it. So I think #3 is false. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm picking #3. Love the new fabric.
ReplyDeleteI think number 3 is false!
ReplyDeleteAlma loves antiquing so I'll say #1
ReplyDelete#3 is the lie!
ReplyDeleteNumber 3 is false. I love this fabric. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI believe number 3 is false (not number 1). Love the fabric and thanks for the chance to win some!
ReplyDelete#3 id false!! Most everyone loves chocolate!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm such a sucker for blue and white! Gorgeous bundle!
ReplyDeleteI think it must be #3....I'm not a big chocolate fan, but I'm definitely in the minority! LOL
