MOP Monday - giving up on giveaways?

Third week in my giveaway and only 1 link submitted.
I am reconsidering doing giveaways in the future... but for now, the little participation means that your chances to win are much higher now...


These are the rules:
- to participate in the giveaway you have to link a post of your blog on my MOP Monday linky party (at the end of this post) OR send me an email with your block (see later for details)
- each link added will give you one entry
- if you share one of the blocks designed by me, you get 2 entries!! and if the block is one of the untested ones, you get 3 entries!! :)
- if you want to share one of my blocks and you don't have a blog, you can send me an email and I will add the link to the linky party for you. My email is in all my patterns!
- if you guess which city is the one depicted in the placemat on the background of the giveaway image I will add an extra bonus fat quarter ;) just write it in the comment below or send me an email (note: I will not publish the comments with the answers to avoid helping others ;) )
- links must be "new" (any date after Aug 15th is fine)
- the standard MOP Monday opening/closing time applies (the collection usually opens on Sat or Sun and is open until next Tue 12:05 pm EST)
- the giveaway will be running for 4 MOP Mondays and the winner will be announced around Sep 10
- I reserve the right to delete non-relevant links and/or exclude them from the count in the giveaway
- following my blog and commenting on other links is not required, but is greatly appreciated!!
- the giveaway is open to everyone, international entries are welcome (as well as US ones)!!

-- MOP: This week new blocks --
And I completed all the blocks for the quilt!!!
I was very excited and I started sewing the sashing on and I run out of fabric!! Can you believe it?? I run short of 4 inches... 4 inches more and I would have been able to complete the sashing... now I need to go back to the quilt shop, so this project is on hold :(

And this week I thought I could finish another of my Donald Duck's friends block but as you can see below, my little helper decided that I needed to give her the attention that I was giving to the fabric ;)

But even if I don't have a new tested pattern for my Mickey&Donald series, I have a new tested block from my Alice quilt, thanks to a wonderful tested (Lolly S). Thanks for sharing your great block!! :)

The pattern is available in my "MickeyM, DonalD, Alice" page

And finally, a new block for my SK project!! :) I am super happy about all of them!!
As usual I will also share this design through Summer of Stitches (on Fandom in Stitches) for the theme "I <3 books"... again another great opening line :)

  3. I followed a link to your MOP mondays before, but I just don't understand what it's about! I'm not sure what we're supposed to link up so I never have done. Perhaps other people are confused too?
