Polka Dot Tea stock a huge range of Cotton Couture (they have around 45 different colours in stock), including several to-die-for bundles. I bought their Spring Sampler bundle a few months ago and the colours are just amazing (and my son is continually harassing me to make him a rainbow quilt using them. It is on my to do list.) All the colours they stock are available as yardage, and Danielle and Jeanette are more than happy to set up a custom listing if you want something specific.
I have an amazing giveaway sponsored by Polka Dot Tea to offer you today - this gorgeous roll-up of blue Cotton Couture. Blue is one of my favorite colours - and this collection doesn't disappoint. It ranges from green/blue through blue into blue/violet hues. These photos don't do it justice.
The roll up includes 18 5" strips of fabric. There are so many things you could do with these - a simple strip quilt, chop it into charm squares, make them into HSTs or HRTs - the possibilities are endless. Mine is destined to become a baby quilt for an upcoming nephew (possibly along the lines of the raindrop quilt I made for the Umbrella Prints challenge). If you're an Aussie, they would also be the perfect starting point for the AQC challenge for next year (which is True Blue).
The giveaway is open to everyone. To enter, just leave me a comment - maybe let me know what you think you'd make with them! For a second entry, sign up to receive the Polka Dot Tea newsletter to keep up to date with what's new in store (there are lots of gorgeous fabrics arriving over the next few weeks!) and leave a second comment letting me know you've signed up.
This giveaway will close next Monday 15th December at 8pm AEST, and Mr Random will draw the winner. Please make sure to leave your email address if you're a no-reply commenter - if I can't contact you I will redraw.
Good luck!
xx Jess

What stunning solids!
I am a huge fan of Sujata Shah over at The Root Connection, love her style of quilts and I would most definitely make a quilt using these fabrics.
I just tried Cotton Couture solids for the first time for a guild challenge and loved them! I think I'd I
use these beautiful blues for a table runner and some placemats, probably with some improv patvhwork. Thanks!

This looks awesome, I would love to make some matching pillow covers for our couch. Thanks!
Great size. A beefed up jelly roll! I'd have to use some to practice half square triangles.
Lovely fabrics. I'm planning to make a scrappy blue/white quilt for a friend & these would be perfect. Thanks.
I'm dying to try cotton couture solids! Not sure exactly what I would use them for but its a fairly safe bet that it would be paper pieced!
Fabulous colours!
Not sure what I'd use them for yet though!!

I'd probably make a baby quilt for my newly arrived nephew.
Hi Jess
The fabrics are beautiful. I have recently purchased EQ7 and I am having lots of fun designing quilts that I will never make. If I won this fabric, I would design a quilt and make it for real. What fun!
I'm excited to find you are in Australia too.
Thanks Judy

What a pretty bundle! I haven't used Cotton Conture yet, wouldn't mind getting my hands on some :) I would use it in a quilt of some kind. I make my own patterns, so I would come up with something for this bundle. Thanks for the giveaway, Merry Christmas!
I love blues and these could make an interesting background for a star quilt
Looks beautiful! Blue ist my alltime favourite too. I think would use it for pillows together with a stitchery panel
Would love to stitch those lovely colors into a quilt.
Those would become a quilt at my house!
I subscribed to the polka dot tea newsletter
I haven't tried them yet. The look beautiful.
Blue is my favorite! I'd pair it with a light grey Essex.
I love Cotton Couture, I use them quite often. This will go straight to my stash as I like to mix solid with prints in my quilts. Thanks!
I too love these solids. So soft - thanks so much for the give away.
I did enjoy working with Cotton Couture, and would buy more of it after seeing that two different bundles and orders of the same color actually had the same color (unlike Kona, their dye lots are so inconsistent!)
I love those blues! The cotton couture has such a soft hand it's great for baby quilts
Hmm, maybe a pillow-orsix! Lol Thanks for the great giveaway! vickise at gmail dot com

I Love these blues. I'm trying to find the right blue and greens to make a king sized quilt for my bed. Ack. Thanks for the giveaway!
I used Cotton Couture for my Super Mario Brothers Quilt a few years ago and it was fantastic.
I'd probably make a baby quilt with the blues as well.
I'd make a quilt with a stained glass look to it. I just love the idea of framing each of those gorgeous blues with a thin strip of black!
I signed up for the Polka Dot Tea shop newsletter. Looks like they have some fantastic fabrics! I use my yahoo address for newsletters (firstname.lastname@yahoo.com)
My son could use some pillows and these would make great pixel pillowcases
Beautiful saturated colours of blue!
I see a t.v. quilt for my youngest and his favourite colours just happens to be blue ")
These would be perfect for the quilt next up on my list - a blue white and gold quilt for my 6 year-old.
Seguidor.Amo sólidos!!!Obrigada!

Love those blues. Just bought my first Cotton Couture also...beautiful colors. I would make a mini-quilt, Mondrian style--a study in blue.
I would make some wonderful pillows with them if I won
I want to make an Amish inspired quilt!
Very pretty solids! Would make a toddler size quilt for my grandson!
I'm feeling an "Under the Sea" wall hanging, with fish, crabs, and starfish.
bab5313@psu.edu
They would look great in a stacked coins quilt!
I love blue! I'm thinking someything with strips of fabric arranged from light to dark for an ombré effect.
I'm looking at making Tesselation by Allison Glass and I think this would be AWESOME for that project
Oh what yummy blues--perfect for my fancy rail fence quilt to be made in the New Year...hugs, Julierose
Those colors are delicious. I would love to make a quilt with those blues swirling around. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love fabrics with a soft hand. Those rainbow bundles are yummy colors. I have an idea swimming in my head for a sea glass quilt. And blue is my favorite color so I hope to win that beautiful bundle. Cindy/ bluemoonstencils at yahoo dot com
I have never used Cotton Couture before. I have a friend who has just welcomed a baby boy into their family so this bundle would make a gorgeous quilt for him.
I totally agree with you re how beautiful those Cotton Couture fabrics are. So soft and slightly shiny, a bit like silk. I recently bought 3 yards of the Ocean color as a solid for a quilt with lots of organics but then I decided that the materials were too different. So this bundle would be perfect for making a quilt with my yardage. Since I love sewing curves right now, I'd try to make some water-like waves in various shades of blue against the teal background.
Thank you for the give-away and I've also subscribed to the newsletter.
What lovely looking colors. Not sure what I would make with those lovely colors.

Lovely bundle Jess. Thanks for the chance.
I would either use them in a free motion sampler quilt or a scrappy quilt mixed in with prints. 24Tangent@gmail.com

I'd make a mini quilt to hang on my boyfriend's wall, he'd really like these fabrics!
Those are beautiful! I think they'd make gorgeous gems!
Beautiful fabrics! I'd make a quilt for me, but I'd have to look at them for a long time first before committing to cutting them up:-)
Beautiful fabrics!!! Would love to make a baby quilt with the Spring Samplers, or a geometric style quilt with the Rainbow Samplers. Wishing you a very Merry Holiday season!!

I have been collecting solids for a special quilt project... these would be a great addition!
Love this blue roll up with CC fabrics. Thanks for the great giveaway.
thanks Jess! and Polkadot Tea! blues are my go-to colour...always and forever...I am gathering fabrics for a 'Fiji' quilt - a reminder of a great family holiday, so these would be perfect.
I get PdT's newsletter too!
Wow, I love the pics of these solids! About impossible to resist. And the roll of blues might be the perfect compliment to a bundle of prints in similar colors, with seashells and starfish, that I've been waiting to work with.
And I have subscribed to the Polka Dot Tea newsletter!
Truly gorgeous colours and fabrics - I would love to try these! I think I would make an orange peel quilt or a cathedral window quilt - these colours owuld suit both of those :) Thanks for the chance!
What lovely fabric! I think I would try my hand at piecing curves and make an ombre quilt for my son (I'm bad at describing my ideas but I can picture it).
I really want to try making a ombre stars quilt and this would be a great chance to try one.
These fabrics are gorgeous!! they would make a fabulous solids quilt!
Oh it would definite be used to make a quilt....blue is one of my favorite colors....
What beautiful fabrics! I think some of these would be perfect for my Modern Amish Medallion quilt I am making! Thanks for the generous giveaway Jess!
Just signed up for your newsletter.....
My sewing has slowed down nearly to a full stop, but I imagine winning these beautiful blues would spark my sewing motivation again. I'm all about practical at the moment, so I would probably make something functional, yet beautiful, for our home. Thanks for the chance to win this lovely prize.
Those are lovely. I'd make a quilt, for sure.
I have a "modern quilt" in mind. Something with lots of geese or half square triangles.
Those gorgeous blues would fit nicely into the Modern Sampler quilt I am about to start. Thanks for the chance.
This is the perfect collection of blues for a quilt idea I have been mulling over, using the blues and greens of sea glass laid out like subway tiles. Thanks for sharing the fabric love!
I've subscribed to Polka Dot Tea's newsletter, thank you for the additional chance!
I am a new quilter. These wonderful fabric inspired me a lot. Thank you for sharing. ( my email: abby64sam@gmail.com)
I would use the blues to create a variety of items, mixing and matching them with the stash of fabrics I currently have. I'd be making totes, wallhangings and bibs!
Oh my goodness, my fingers are just itching to try out those solids!!! I love to use solids in my quilts, and sometimes the quality is just not what I would like. These look like great quality even in the picture! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
gorgeous! I think I might make some springtime placemats.
I would use them to make a quilt for my daughter; her favorite color is blue. sarah@forrussia.org
Beautiful bundle. Thanks for the chance.
Blues are my favorite too and these are wonderful!
I think I'd make a quilt that has the colors going from light to dark. Not sure of a pattern tho.
Ah yes, the AQC challenge. I have had my thinking cap on but still a blank at the moment. maybe these will give the inspiration I need.
I recently saw a quilt pattern called 1000 pyramids. I think those blues would work well.
I receive your email newsletter. I've made a chevron quilt but still need to quilt it.
I follow by email. Thanks for the chance to win!
I've always wanted to make a quilt in shades of blue… This bundle couldn't be more perfect! Thanks!
Oh Jess, these are scrumptious!!!
Luuuuuve those colours!
I would like to do a water / blue springs quilt in 2015, and these would be perfect for that.

I haven't tried the cotton couture solids before. I think they'd make an awesome storm at sea quilt (perhaps a mini, let's be realistic)
I would like to make a log cabin quilt with 1/4 in logs. In particular a Modern log cabin that I saw in a Modern Amish show at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles.
I would use some of them in Bonnie Hunter's current QAL.
and I signed up for the newsletter.
I would love these forever LOL
I have a maritime quit in my mind, showing the colours of the german northseacoast where we are spending our holidays, these fabrics would fit perfect
My daughters favorite colour, I would make her a quilt.
I'd use them in a pillow series for the sofa.
I'm heading over to sign up for the newsletter now.
I would include these fabric strips in a quilt for my college bound nephew. He loves blues.
tushay3(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love blues! I'm no quilter but I can find uses for even the smallest bits of fabric in making things for my kids.
Aquas, greys and navys? Perfect for my sunroom sofa quilt.
Pretty! I have no idea what I would make, but probably more quilt squares!
These would be a great addition to the lighthouse quilt I'm hoping to make for my mom!
These colors would look great in my loft on new pillows.
I signed up for the newsletter.
I would use these in a quilt for my twin sons - one likes green and the other blue so they would be perfect:)
I would make a contrasting star quilt.
I've used a couple of colors of Cotton Couture. They have a really nice feel. I'd probably use the fabric in a baby quilt if I were to win!
tstanulis@verizon.net
These colours are amazing! I would have to make something inspired by the ocean :-)
I think it would make a beautiful 60 degree triangle quilt.
I receive their newsletter!
The colors are wonderful. I am not sure what quilt I would make but for sure I would make a quilt.
What a gorgeous range of blues. I haven't tried these cottons and would love to give them a go, I would make a quilt of some sort, half triangles all in these shades could be pretty
Love the colors!!!!! I would definately put these colors in a quilt!!!!!! sonjasmith76@yahoo.com
Blue is one of my favorite colors - the other is green. I've been looking at some of the improv quilts and this would be a fun start to a blue/green improv quilt
Wow, these are gorgeous! My sister loves anything blue so if I could get my hands on these beauties, I'd probably turn them into a belated Christmas gift for her :)
Gorgeous colours! I think I would make some cushions to go with the blue and white quilt I'm making for my mam (and have been making for about three years!).
I get their newsletter.
Gorgeous maybe I could put them with my aghandcrafted!!!
lovely colors and easy on the eye and they look like you want to hug them!
Hello Jess,
I'd love to quilt some chair pad covers to go w/sea shore & sea shell décor. I've never made 'em before so this bundle just might turn into pillow covers instead.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the giveaway Jess. I would most definitely use those colours to make a quilt for my son. Perhaps just a basic strip one, then perhaps back it in minky like I've done for my girls as the bottom of Australia is cold more than hot. Rach C
Not sure what I'd make. One of my goals for the coming year is to venture into working with solids alone, and this will be a nice contribution to my supply list.
I signed up for the shop's newsletter.
I am allergic to solids but I try to add a bit to every project I make (easing myself into it). I've had the (solid) fabric for a Jaybird Quilt pattern for MONTHS and I'm determined it will be my next project once I finish the two I'm working on. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the teals! I'd love to combine these with some of my random prints and turn these into a quilt for my son(or sons, if I'm ambitious enough).

Love CC and Polka Dot Tea!
Have to admit, I buy too many calicos and need solids... :/
Signed up to receive newsletter! Excited to see it. :)
I think I\d go improv with these, or, make a plusses quilt! I have never made one of those.....
I am on Polka Dot Teas mailing list, and liberty club!
I would love to make this into my color palette for my modern guild block of the month in 2015.
I'd use these colors to do some table runners or pillows. Love them.
I want to make a few table runners so I could work those fabric into one:)
I would use them in a quilt; they are some of my favorite colors!
Thank you.

These are gorgeous colors! I have been thinking about doing a variation on a log cabin quilt, and these would be the perfect starting point.
I could see these becoming an underwater themed cushion, with some gold coloured fish dotted on it.
Beautiful, I would just use them as they are to make a strip quilt.
