What's in a Name - A Giveaway

My baby quilt has been put aside for the moment because I've got many, many inches of binding to sew this week.

My (huge) maple leaf quilt is back from the quilter, and it's gorgeous!  There's no sneak peak of it quilted today (Sorry, I forgot my camera) but it turned out even better than I hoped!

The wedding is fast approaching now and I need to come up with a name for it, post haste.  So I'm going to host a little challenge...

The winner will receive a 20$ gift certificate to Hawthorne Threads!  Anyone can win, near or far, and I'll pick a winner this weekend.

In order to be eligible to win please leave me a name suggestion in your comment (and an email address if you are a no-reply blogger).  Thanks!


Linking up to Let's Bee Social.

EDIT: I've been getting some excellent suggestions today from no reply bloggers; most commonly from bloggers who use Google+ accounts.  Please make sure that I can access your email address if you would like to be entered into my giveaway.  Thanks so much!

  1. Very pretty quilt! I'm sure they will be thrilled to receive it. I share your pain about naming quilts--it's hard! The leaf blocks kind of remind me of a compass, so how about something like Maple Rose (like a compass rose)? Of course, maple leaves also remind me of maple sugar candy (yum), so how about Maple Candy? Whatever you name it, it's a great quilt! Nice work!

  28. Your quilt is beautiful and has been made with good workmanship. I can admittedly say that naming quilts is not my strength, but here are some ideas I had:

    Leaf Crossing, Maple Cross, Pathway to the maple, Maple Garden Path. I am pretty sure you can find me, but if not, atticw@hotmail.com
