These pieces are the half blocks (10 are needed) and include the plaids! I don't have a stash of plaids at all, but these ones are a start and I love them! If you are wanting to do Lori's Quilt-a-long check it out here:

I also decided to use a slightly different pink print for the plaid blocks just to add a bit of interest!
This week has seen my first blog-iversary!! It was a big step to jump into blogland, but it has been very enjoyable and I've met some lovely people in the past year!
So to celebrate I am having my first give-away! In fact I have two give-aways, so when you leave a comment please indicate whether you would like Option A or Option B.
All comments/participants will be numbered as they come in and on Thursday 19th January I will put the numbers (on a folded up bit of paper) in a big container and pick out one, the first draw will get the Option they have asked for and the second draw will get the Option that is left! Not being too computer savvy I have no idea how to do the computer generated number thingy, so will opt for the old fashioned way of doing things LOL!!!
Here is Option A
This pack contains a Charm Pack, 'Little Gatherings' by Primative Gatherings for Moda. A pattern with ruler again my Primitive Gatherings 'Primitive Pinwheels' for small quilt 11"x 12 3/4", some reproduction fat quarters and tape measure!
Here is Option B
This pack consists of a Charm Pack "Cattails & Clover" by Kansas Troubles Quilters for Moda.
A Quick-unpick with a handmade wooden handle made from Australian 'Myrtle' timber. A pack of five English sewing needles for Embroidery/Redwork by Jeana Kimball, some Reproduction Fat Quarters and tape measure.
There will be a couple of extra inclusions too, but they will be a surprise!!! Good luck to everyone!
I will ask for the winners mail address (anywhere in the world!) once the draw has been done!!!
The draw will close at 12 noon, Thursday 19th January, Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time.
This week has been extremely hot and one afternoon I went out to the back verandah and caught Miss Mini meditating very comfortably in a plastic tub, she looked awful cute so I managed to get a photo of her before I disturbed her!
Then she saw me!, it wasn't long before she jumped out for a cuddle and some food!!!
Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, it certainly is a lot cooler here today!!
Take it easy!!

Happy I stopped by this evening. Congrats on a year of blogging Merilyn! Your pink lemondade QAL is coming along with some really nice color combos, I really like the plaids. Miss Mini looks pretty happy in her tub.
Hard to choose, if I were to be drawn, 1st choice would be B. Thanks for the chance. Have a great weekend! Jo
Congratulations on blogging for a year now! I remember the day clearly when you started blogging and how a "little bird" whispered to me about your new adventure! ;)
Thank you so much for your generous giveaway ... of course I must try my luck at those lovely fabrics and notions!
I'll be happiest with either of the 2 options. So nicely put together that I can't call it! LOL!!
Your half blocks look great! I knew you'd like the plaids!
Happy blogiversary! Hard to choose - I guess my first choice is Option A - I've been admiring that pinwheel quilt. Thanks for the chance!
It's been on the warm side here, too, daytime temps in the 50's and 60's when 30' and 40's are the norm.
I remember when you started your blog and I am so glad that you did. I still love your work as much today as I did a year ago and often pop in for some inspiration.
Your QAL blocks will look fabulous all together.
Joyeux blog anniversaire!
Both give away options are very generous.
I will nominate B.

Blogging makes the world seem a lot smaller doesn't it? Hearty congratulations on reaching your year #1 anniversary. Both of your options are enticing, and I'd be thrilled to win either, but if I'd have a choice, I'd jump through hoops for option B.
Just love your pink lemonade fabric choices. You're making it uniquely your own.
WOW congratulations Merilyn!! has it really been a year since you started your blog?? I must say i love popping by every week and seeing what you're up to..you're such an inspiration!!
Your pink lemonade blocks are delightful and i really love your plaids..btw i didn't have many to choose from in my stash, either! Miss Mini looks how i felt today, in searing 35C heat, not happy at all LOL!!
Thanks also for a fab giveaway!!
love both options, but leaning towards option A by a smidge :)))
What a great little blog you have. I have wanted to a little pin wheel quilt for a while so I am hoping to win pack A. Thanks for the giveaway
