Itty Bitty Block Fun....and a Giveaway!!:)

One of the Flickr swaps I am in is The Bitty Block Committee, an off-shoot of The Mini QT Swap. The 3.5" blocks became so popular that they needed their own Flickr site!! For the month of April the theme was Camping....how cute are those blocks? Remember...I only made one of them...the lamo one second from the left at the bottom...but I think I redemned myself putting them all together!
This photo really doesn't do those mini squares justice!

May's theme was Black & White + 1 Color and everyone was assigned a color so each square was not only unique in design but unique in color. My color was lavendar, upper right corner. See how I sashed the wee blocks in ROY G BIV starting with red in the upper left corner? I just love the rainbow binding...and my pink chair!!

June's theme is Picnic/BBQ but I skipped it since I was really busy, coming up is under the sea/beach....go visit the group to see what awesome stuff they are making...in only 3.5 inches square!
Now for a GIVEAWAY!! Remember all that lovely Vlisco VĂ©itable Hollandais Dutch Wax Prints that my sis-in-law gave me last week (you should check out the prices on their site!!)? Well I sorted it all and...

....this is my stack of loveliness....
....and this is YOURS!!
Yep...there is enough here for several people. Most of the folded stuff has parts cut out of it but I wanted it to look neater so I folded it, the bags are full of wee bits.
Leave me a lovely comment and let me know if you are interested in the small scraps too because the bag is full of bitty bits...but tasty bits!:) And if you would like another chance let others know about this giveaway and leave me another comment that you have blogged about it...I'll trust that you did!:) Please make sure there is a way for me to get in contact you when you win!:)

Going to the Parents for an Independence Day BBQ this weekend so I'll leave this open a week and draw the winners....at least FOUR...on Monday, July 5th. I've been cleaning out my stash and scraps too so I may just add a few other surprises!! Oh...and I'll ship internationally...can't leave out some of my best pals!!:)
