Thank you for all the Fat Quarter Idol feedback, enthusiasm and participation! We are LOVING your packs! Our judges, Heather Bostic and Kaye Prince, have helped us select the finalists for Round 1: Sweet Child of Mine packs, so hop over to that post to cast your vote.

This week’s theme: Meet Me at the Picnic! Use Pinterest to combine 12 fabrics from Sew,Mama,Sew! to create the perfect fat quarter pack for the theme of the week. Winners are promoted and fully credited here on the blog, you get to see your pack for sale in our shop, PLUS we’ll send you one of your packs for free!

Submit the URL to your Pinterest board for Meet Me at the Picnic in the comments of this post by this Friday, 4/27!

There have been several questions we’d like to answer:

Q: Can you do two boards for one theme?
A: Yes, you can do two boards for one theme, but no more.

Q: Should you pin a small thumbnail of the fabric or a larger image?
A: Please pin the larger image. (Click through to the product page.)

Q: What if one of my fabric selections is out of stock or says it’s not available?
A: It’s OK if the fabric says out of stock or not available if it is in the Coming Soon section. If it is in the sale section, please choose something else.

Rules:
1. Create a board on Pinterest that includes Sew,Mama,Sew! #FatQuarterIdol and the theme of the week. For example: “Sew,Mama,Sew! #FatQuarterIdol Meet Me at the Picnic” (The hashtag will help us find your board.)

2. Pin exactly 12 fabrics onto your board. All fabrics must come from the Sew,Mama,Sew! website. They can be currently available or in the Coming Soon section. Fabric can be solid or a print. Put “Sew,Mama,Sew!” and the fabric name in the description. For example: “Falling Flowers Blue ~ SpringSong @ Sew,Mama,Sew!” (When compiling your pack, don’t forget you can browse our fabric by designer, collection, print, and color.)

3. Submit the URL of your board to the blog post describing the theme of the week here on the blog. For this week’s theme submit your URL in the comments below on today’s post. Themes will be announced every Monday. You need to have your URL in the comments by Friday of the same week.

4. Spread the word! Tell your friends and family you’re about to become a Fat Quarter Idol!

You can pin our rules graphic to your board, and you can also grab one of our Fat Quarter Idol buttons for your blog. 250 px: http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/april2012/fqi_button250.jpg / 200 px: http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/april2012/fqi_button200.jpg

   When I am on a fabric´s product page, and I click my “Pin it” button, I keep getting this error: “Sorry, couldn’t find any pinnable images or video on this page.” Know anything about that?

   Thanks.

   I love vintage pictures of old-time picnics, where ladies wore their pearls and gloves and brought their best pies and fried chicken. I chose my fabrics to reflect that vintage feel. And you have to have gingham at a picnic. It’s a must!

    Coral and teal are a fun twist on the patriotic colors of Independence Day… and I made sure to throw in the (completely necessary) gingham and marching ants. Paired with a bright white cotton, these prints would make a very cheerful spread on a sunny day!

    I went with traditional picnic holiday colors (red, white and blue for upcoming Memorial Day!) Instead of the checkered table cloth, I went with a more modern cross-hatch/weave and of course there are some yummy veggies, pesky critters, lovely flowers, and maybe some flying geese! A little linen to round out the meal.

    What’s a picnic without a ferris wheel! Well, it’s really not a ferris wheel; apologies to the wonderful designer! The new “Quilt Blocks Wedding Rings” just reminds me of a ferris wheel! This one was harder to come up with since “Sale” fabrics can’t be included, but I’m happy with my grass, blue sky and sunshine!! http://pinterest.com/neverbored/sew-mama-sew-fatquarteridol-meet-me-at-the-picnic/

     My theme was inspired by the Pink Lemonaide that my Grandma use to make for me. As I added the colors, I couldn’t help but think of a delicate little fancy picnic with glazed peachy pink cupcakes and sprinkles that the ladies back in the 1960′s might have had had by the lake under a tree. Enjoy! This was a fun contest!

     Ok, so now I have a question.

     This is my first week participating and I may have missed some things when the rules were initially posted.

     My question is this: Sale Fabrics, 100% not allowed? Because from what others are posting, that’s what it seems like. However, when I read the few frequently asked questions above, it said:
     “Q: What if one of my fabric selections is out of stock or says it’s not available?
     A: It’s OK if the fabric says out of stock or not available if it is in the Coming Soon section. If it is in the sale section, please choose something else.”

     So, given that answer, I understood it that as long as Sale Fabrics were in stock and available, they were allowed. Was I right in my understanding, or is everyone else right in their saying that we’re not allowed to use sale fabrics? If everyone else is right, big bummer to me, as I used some. ::sigh::

     Yes, Anne, you are right! If the fabric is available, you can use it! Only if it is out of stock and in the sale section, don’t use it because we won’t be getting it again.
