cool breeze and a giveaway

Cool breeze is done!!! Not any to soon either. I have guests coming in town tomorrow for over a week!:) (my in-laws) I LOVE THEM!!!! I forgot to say that this is a queen size. That was asked and I thought I would update my post. I'm so bad about sizes. I think this is 97x97? I think.
Here is the back of cool breeze. I'm not a big fan of it but it works and I was able to use a lot of fabric.

Here is a bit of the binding. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this quilt!!! I wish I was better at taking pictures so that you could actually see how great this quilt is!!!
This was my 51st quilt so I thought "Why not do another giveaway?"
I have 3 fat quarters of the Denise Schmitz. I'm not sure what to do with these colors so I hope whoever wins these will share what they do with them.
Just leave me a comment and let me know that you would like to be entered and I will pick a winner on Friday night and post it Saturday morning. I hope you have a FANTASTIC day!!!
