Nail Polish Mini Quilt by It’s Sew Emma and giveaway

The fabulous team of Fat Quarter Shop and It’s Sew Emma have done it again with their free mini quilt pattern – Nail Polish. Make sure you check out the accompanying video at the Fat Quarter Shop Youtube channel.
I made mine into a quilted pillow/cushion cover. I just need to find an insert.
This is a great project to use up your solids (or in my case, some textured solids).
The finished mini quilt is 14 1/2″ x 22 1/2″. Using my Art Gallery Pure Elements, Laura Gunn Painters Canvas and Metallic Tussah from Robert Kaufman I made the nail polish in a plumb shade. I used Oval Elements for the backing and binding.
Using Aurifil 5015 40wt, 2600 50wt, 2024 50wt, 4030 50wt and 2630 50wt cotton thread I used a combination of freehand and digital quilting to give body to the cushion/pillow cover. The back is also quilted in 4030 50wt cotton.
The Fat Quarter Shop have kindly given me a $50 gift voucher to give to one lucky reader. 
Think of all the beautiful solids you could purchase with $50. 
To be in the draw for the gift voucher, just leave me a comment on this post telling me your favourite shade of nail polish.
The competition will be closed Wednesday 13th August midnight AEST.
