Blog Giveaway of "Ostentatious!"

(update: I held the drawing live on FB.

The winner is #43. Ina!! Congratulations!!

Thank you to everyone for participating.

I enjoyed this Giveaway so much, I hope to do another one soon!!)

Time is about here!! This is what I originally posted:

 "I am going to have my first blog Giveaway!! If you're interested in winning "Ostentatious," a 30" sq wallhanging or it could be a table topper,  leave a comment (make sure I know who you are!) on this update and I'll put your name in the basket to be drawn when I get the quilt back on March 29.  Once it's yours, you may keep it for yourself, or give it as a gift, or donate it to an art auction, or whatever. 

one small caveat that there be at least 25 names entered :)." 

Ostentatious
Made and quilted by Naomi Hernandez Perry

Black/White Plus One Color

LOL, I knew Ostentatious was only for a select few. It is bright and gregarious, to be sure!!

I should put in a disclaimer: The workmanship is not my usual quality.  It was not intended for competition and I was in a hurry to complete... and the workmanship shows it.

I did have it critiqued at Mountain Quiltfest: 

(the ratings: Excellent = A, Very good = B, Good = C)

Visual impact: Very Good

Use of color and fabric: Good

Appropriate use of scale: Good

Layout set, border design: Good

Quilting design and amount: good

Innovation and creativity: Very Good

Workmanship: 

Piecing: Satisfactory

Quilting: Satisfactory

Finishing:

Edges: Excellent

Binding: Very Good

Corners: Very Good

Backing: Very Good

Comments: Turquoise is a lovely accent for the dimensional folding. (Thank you)

Fussy cutting of a variety of black and white create an additional interest. (Thank you)

Sashing should align accurately at intersections. (I knew this, but getting the project done was more important at the time :(. I hope never to make that mistake again. I should have taken the time.) 

Starts and stops could be less noticeable on the back. (That will come with practice.)

Top stitching of sashing is distracting. (good to know, I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow when I get it back!)

Right now I have 13 names in the basket:

1.  Tonya S.

2.  Gwen S.

3.  Linda B

4.  Sherry S

5.  Keri

6.  Judy S.

7.  Jenny R
