A Closer Look at Buttercup Babies (and a Fat-Quarter Bundle Giveaway!)

By now, if you know me, I'm sure you've seen or heard something about Buttercup Babies.
I may have mentioned it once or twice; either here on my blog
or on my Facebook page
or maybe you saw my interview on the Henry Glass blog
or have even seen it in your favorite local quilt shop
or you could have been here at the house and noticed that my fabric samples are still taking up space in the middle of the living room
(oh wait, I probably could have gotten away without telling you that one, I'm pretty sure most of you haven't been here this week).

 

Well, however it is that you figured it out, yes.  Buttercup Babies is here.

And so, I figure it's time for a fat-quarter bundle giveaway.  It's been a really, really, really, really long time since I've done that, so I figure we're overdue.
To enter, leave a comment on this post and tell me what your favorite baby animal is.  If you read my studio interview in the Henry Glass blog, you already know about my inspiration for these designs and probably have a pretty good idea what my favorite is.  Well, at least one of mine.  But what's yours?  If you can't possibly think of or pick a favorite, you might find something that will help you with that here.
The winner will get a bundle of this softie-softie flannel fabric that includes a full 18" panel and 8 fat-quarter coordinates; you choose whether you'd prefer the girly colorway
or the boy-y colorway.

So again, just leave a comment here on this post telling me your favorite baby animal and you're entered to win.
You have until Sunday morning October 7th - I'll put all entries into a hat at 9am Pacific Time Sunday morning for a random drawing, and will announce the winner on Monday October 8th.
Good luck and thanks for visiting!

 

UPDATE:  it's Monday the 8th today; entries closed yesterday morning and a winner was announced today, you can see it right here.  Thanks again, everyone, for entering - we will have to do this again soon!

Hi Beth,
My favorite baby animal is a baby chick. We used to raise chickens when I was a kid - long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away. :)

Baby ducks, definitely baby ducks, they can be snuggly, they are certain over the top cute AND they are the best shade of buttery yellow ever! (always thinking in paint color terms.....lol) I was given one by someone for Easter when I was young (it was the thing to do back then but in hindsight not too bright). I named my duck Susie Goose and she lived in our backyard and a box under the porch and ate dog food :) If I win I will donate my winnings to my friend Jeanette who is a brand new quilter!

The baby bunny gets my vote! Love your soft palette and all the cuddly animals! Beautiful!

[Jeannette Michel]

Oh, how I love the baby lamb.. It gives you that warm, cuddly and playful impression, just like a baby blanket should have. Thank you to Deb Grogan.

Since I don't see a crow in this fabric, I'll have to vote for the cute lil squirrel:) My dog, Daisy's, favorite critter too!

[Beth L]

Thanks everyone :o] I should have mentioned, it doesn't have to be one of the babies in this fabric: if you're partial to hedgehogs, puppies, kittens, hippos (or big dorky baby crows, Sarah, I love them too!) whatever cute baby thing makes you go "squee!" when you see it!

And I have to say I love that there was once a duck named Susie Goose, that makes me smile...

I almost had to go for the baby flamingo (those legs!), but I have to say that nothing beats a warm, fuzzy baby Labrador Retriever puppy. Floppy ears, soft paws, waggy tail. I want another one every time I see one.

My favorite baby animal is a puppy. But a couple days ago we saw 2 tiny baby wild rabbits that I wanted to pick up and cuddle but I knew better than to do that. Thanks for the cute cuddly fabric giveaway. Love the boy colors. Thanks

i swear, it is enough to make me have another baby, the cuteness is almost overwhelming. well played, beth! and it is the baby bunnies that really get me, my mother used to call me her hasemops, when i was really tiny, which is some sort of german endearment involving tiny rabbits.

My favorite animals are the baby ducks. We had 11 new baby ducks on our farm this year and it was so much fun watching them grow up and change every day! Thank you for making such adorable patterns.
