I've tried working with solids from many manufacturers, but this is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing and touching the DS Modern Solids from FreeSpirit Fabrics in person. The colour saturation is incredible and the hand absolutely lovely. While other solids may lack softness, colour depth and/or opacity, this fabric hits a home run in each of those categories. Admittedly, I have not yet washed it, but I have high hopes for success with this cloth. Take a look:
The box contains 75 fat quarters, all folded so prettily it will be almost heartbreaking to take them out and start cutting. I mean, couldn't you just turn this baby on it's side and display it in a book case? I have big plans. Huge plans, in fact, for this fabric. I'm issuing a personal challenge to myself to create a quilt using every last colour in this box and piecing it with my Improv Under the Influence technique. I've got my inspiration photo, taken recently on a trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery, and I will set to work just as soon as some other obligated sewing is off the (rather long) list. To see some beautiful quilts created exclusively with these solids, take a look here.
So head on over to Massdrop and check out the deal...rumour has it if the number of orders climb high enough, the lowest price will drop to an astonishing $119.95 US!!!! [Even if you're shopping in Canadian currency, that is a ridonculous deal of about a toonie per FQ.]
What would you say if I told you that you could WIN this entire box? That's right, Massdrop will ship one of these boxes anywhere in the world to one lucky reader of Poppyprint. You are most welcome!! There are two simple ways to enter:
1. Sign up for a Massdrop account by clicking this link and you'll automatically be entered.
OR (please note that there is one entry per person, so just enter with option 1 or option 2)
2. If you already have a Massdrop account, leave one comment here letting us know what quilting item you would like to see offered on their site. YOUR EMAIL MUST BE LINKED TO YOUR COMMENT, OR YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS LEFT IN YOUR COMMENT! Sorry, but there's no way for us to contact "no reply bloggers", and we'll have to draw another name.
It's an incredible giveaway that will just take seconds to enter. Having a Massdrop account gives you access to super deals, but there is no obligation to buy anything, so I think it's worth a sign up. I've made 3 previous purchases (Liberty tana lawn bundle, Cotton & Steel remix bundles and a non-quilting item as well) and been very happy with them all, as I've been with their top-notch customer service.
Massdrop will randomly select a winner in 5 days' time. GOOD LUCK!!!

Wow! I didn't realize that they have fabric bundles at Mass Drop!!! That is what I'd be interested in checking out! Can't wait to see what you'll do with this rainbow bundle... Soooo pretty!!
I'd heard other people go on about massdrop but had no idea what it was - can't enter though as the link says:

Awesome deal! I already have a massdrop account
I've had a massdrop account for a while, but haven't bought anything yet... now this might just change my mind (but depends on the shipping to the UK!) Thank you
Just joined massdrop, but the link didn't work. Clicked on the highlighted "massdrop" at beginning of your entry. (Just so you know) thanks for a chance to win these luscious fabrics!
I am already a customer with massdrop. Just on superior needles last week. They offer some really great deals.
I have a Massdrop account. Love to see my difficult to find specialty cutting mats. I use the rotating ones a lot.
Gorgeous solids! I already have a massdrop account and have bought a few things! I would love to see more thread, Perle and aurifil floss would be great!
I already have an account and have gotten some great deals! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have an account, but the recent drop in Canadian dollar has made the deals less attractive. I would like to see applique tools--fusible, needles, or precut shapes.
Just made a new account, but the link is not working at the moment, so I don't know, if I'm in for the giveaway by this.
The giveaway is really fantastic and I would love to win. :)
I've already got an account with Massdrop, and I'd like to see anything by Denyse Schmidt on there!
I have an account already, but hadn't purchased anything yet. I'd like to see some really nice sewing scissors offered there. Of course, fabric bundles are always welcome.
I've had a Massdrop account for a while and ordered FQs, Aurifil, needles so far. These solids look wonderful; thanks for the opportunity to win!
Oh boy, how I would love the challenge of making a quilt with every single colour. That would be awesome! Thanks for the chance to win, Krista!
Wow! I already have an account...I suppose there is nothing better than fabric bundles :) or maybe sewing machines!!!
interesting place. I signed up. thanks for the link. Hope I win.
I have a Massdrop account, but haven't used them yet. My goal this year is to try more solids in my quilting -- maybe I should make the plunge???
I have a Massdrop account and I love it. I particularly love quilting tools. I have bought scissors and threads so far and been very happy. I would love to see more basic tools like regular rulers and how about batting on a roll?
I'd love to see large quilting projects like Jaybird's Gravity quilt, with pattern and Kona fabrics, offered on Massdrop. Thanks for the heads up on the Denyse Schmidt drop!
I do already have a massdrop account and just joined my first drop which is shipped now! Yay! It's the fabric line "Make a wish" and I am really looking forward to recieve my bundle soon! So I look most forward to more wonderful fabric lines (which I can't get here in Switzerland so easyly and cheap,lol).
Wonderful box, would just be awesome to win!
How I would love to win! I have a Massdrop account but not purchased anything yet although I was tempted by the Tana lawn. I'd love to see more cutting tools.
I've already got an account and would LOVE this fabric, but can't find it on the site. I hope it hasn't already sold out :-/
I would love to see some Aurifloss on there!
hmm...your link didn't work, but i signed up anyway.
big cones or large lots of thread would be good. maybe some Oakshott?
I have an account already - I would like FQ bundles of DS prints, or the new Lizzy House ranges as I want all the mini pearl bracelets and the natural history ones too. Also rotary cutter blades are good in bulk.
I already have an account. I'm looking for deals on Aurifil thread. Thanks for the chance.
I have an account and have had good luck purchasing from them. I enjoy seeing more and more fabric bundles! I live their free shipping, too!
I just signed up last week and snapped up a lovely purple rotary cutter in my favorite style! I love solids and have just begun building my stash of them - this is perfect for me! Thanks for the head's up :*)
I would like to see sewing scissors.
I already have a Massdrop account. I would like to keep seeing drops for fabrics and threads espcially Aurifil threads and solid/blender fabrics. Thanks for the amazing giveaway.
Wonderful collection! already have an account. Batiks collections would be nice. 24Tangent@gmail.com
I already have an account. I keep hoping they will have a drop of rotary cutting blades.
Those fabrics are fabulous and a great price.
I already have an account. They have a really great variety that they've sold, and I wish I wasn't currently on a fabric diet, or I'd be all over that current Alison Glass drop. I'd also like to see those tulip bobbin keepers.
Wow! I'd love to see Bloc-loc rulers on massdrop
Hi there, I'm a member of mass drop. I've bought wonder clips, thread, and wool batting so far....I'd love to see rotary cutter blades. Thank you for the chance to win a really great prize.
Mass-drop is such a great idea. I enjoy looking over the current options and have ordered twice.
I already have a Massdrop account but havnt yet taken the plunge and bought anything.
I would like to get a Deb Tucker ruler, Hunters Star or the one that makes the Lemoyne Stars. They're expensive so I'd be interested in a Mass-drop on either of those.
I share my husband's Massdrop account and I would love to see a roll of batting.
I already have an account, although haven't purchased much. (I got hit with Canadian Customs charge!!)
I love the fabric bundles and would like to see Aurifil threads .
Well I can't depend on winning, so I placed my order this morning! Thanks for the info Krista!
I signed up!
woo hoo! What a win this would be!!!
Great offering! I'm already a subscriber and would love to see more thread, preferably on cones -- Glide would be great! Thanks for having the giveaway!
Ooooh I would put that whole box to great use! I was wondering what Massdrop was, I think my creditcard better watch out lol! Thanks for the chance to win!
I really do love that box. An ikea postcard quilt would work great with most of those. As far as mass drop is concerned I haven't bought anything since I am cautious with any new retailer or business. Some items I have found less expensive elsewhere. Is it the free shipping that makes it a deal? I will say that this one is the first that has tempted me.
I just signed up..and am going back for a better look! That box of fabric looks OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Thanks for the chance to win it! I can't wait to see what you make with it!!
Paulette
Would love to see kokka prints on massdrop.
I made my first Massdrop purchase yesterday! I'd love to see cutting mats.
I'd like to see the Aurifil cones come back!
Already have signed up with them, would love to see more threads and notions
I have no idea what happened to my comment, but I have an account with Mass Drop. I would love to see more Bloc Loc rulers and some MasterPiece and Aurifil threads
Wow! Gorgeous stuff! I've got a Massdrop account. I think I would like to see bundles of solids.
Wow, what a generous giveaway. I would love to see large cutting mats on Massdrop. Thank you for the opportunity!! :)
I have a massdrop account and I would most like fabric bundles like this or King Tut thread.
Who wouldn't want this bundle of beauties! I have a massdrop acct.
I would like to see Massdrop offer packages of Sulky Solvy sheets. LOVE it for transferring embroidery. Also rolls of Transdoodle - a great fusible product.
Thanks Krista and Massdrop!
Can't wait to see your project K
I have mass drop. I would like to see the spinning cutting mats maybe combined with the smaller blade rotary cutter
I love the sewing needles I got off of mass drop so maybe something else like thread would be a good drop :)
These fabrics are so beautiful! I love the idea of bloc loc rulers on Massdrop, and new fabric bundles are always good :)
I would love to see more Aurifil thread bundles or cutting mats available.
I really like Massdrop, and have made several purchases from them. I would really like to see the loc block rulers as a drop. Lucky you getting to try this fabulous fabric! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have a Massdrop account. So far I've only dreamt about some purchases. More notions and fabric options would be great.
I have a Massdrop account, but haven't made a purchase yet. I'm kind of a fabric junkie, so the more bundles the better!
I have an account already that I've used to get Wonder Clips and other notions, plus I have some fabric coming soon too, I love their cheap international shipping! This bundle tempted me, but as a bag maker I'd like bigger cuts than FQ bundles if possible, that seems to be their standard offering. Anything Tula Pink or Cotton and Steel would be a good starting point :oD
I have ordered a couple of things on Massdrop, and I've been really pleased with them. I would love to see more Aurifil thread collections!
I signed up/in at Massdrop. How will they know I'm a poppyprint subscriber?
I have a massdrop account. I didn't realize they had Fat quarter fabric bundles. I like to see anything sewing. Maybe a new Oliso iron???
I already have a massdrop account and have bought a few things. I'd like to see bloc loc rulers
I have a Massdrop account already, I have bought a few things from them, I'd like to see a bundle of Kaffe Fasset fabrics on Massdrop sometime.
Be still my beating heart... I want to win. I'd love to see MassDrop do a drop of Oakshott Cottons, Thimble Blossom Patterns, Jen Kingwell Patterns, Noodlehead Bag Patterns, the Sew Together bag pattern, Weekender bag pattern, (apparently I'm a bag lady), and... yeah, that's good for now. ;)
I have a massdrop account I think on my Yahoo account. I'd love to see a big roll of batting.
i'd also like to see Bloc loc rulers and alphabitties.
I'm in the market for s serger and I'd love to see Cotton and Steel black and white. I've gotton some awesome deals on Massdeop so please keep them coming!
Fantastic box indeed! I'd love to be the lucky one, will keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for the chance. I already have a Massdrop account and love the drops. I'd love to see a FQ bundle of Jen KingwelKingwell ' s new line of fabric or Lori Holt ' s or their new book
Wow! What a lucky ducky you are to receive that incredible collection of solids, eh, and what lucky ducks we are to be able to enter for a chance to win the giveaway. Thank you!
I'd love to see MassDrop offer sets of acrylic templates for cutting blocks like Drunkards Path:)
Love Massdrop! I would be so happy to see a bundle of Oakshott shot cottons. Swoon!
I would love to see bloc local rulers on Massdrop :)
I would love to see bloc local rulers on Massdrop :)
I have a Massdrop account and started making a quilt this weekend with the fat quarters I purchased. I would like to see the loc bloc rulers on Massdrop.
I would love to see some specialty rulers, like Bloc-Loc, and more large bundles of Quilting fabric. What a great giveaway, thank you!!
I've been curious about Massdrop for ages. I'd love to see fabric bundles and Olio irons for crazy good prices! Thanks for sharing Krista.
I'd love to see a collection of specialty rulers. Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.
I just learned about Massdrop at the VMQG meeting and ordered a Clover mini iron.
I would like to see some cutters such as the Rotary Circle Cutter from Olfa and circle templates.
Thanks for offering the possibility to win the solids. Wouldn't it be fun to make a quilt using every colour!
Such pretty, pretty solids! I signed up for Massdrop at QuiltCon and would love to see them offer a drop for Bloc-Loc rulers. Looking forward to seeing your colourful quilt!
i just signed up for massdrop a couple weeks ago and i've already joined a drop i'd love to see some cotton and steel basics on there. thanks so much for the giveaway!
chrissie wunderlich at hotmail dot com
I would like to see more notions, paper piecing supplies and perhaps smaller volume purchases for fabric. boldaxatgmail.com
I am having trouble resisting this drop, and yes I am a member for a long time now. I would like to see more fabric and far lower shipping rates to Canada.
I love Massdrop and have ordered multiple times. I'd like to see more options of 1/2 yard bundles. Love that they were able to work again w/Patchwork Threads! Thanks! jbscraps@yahoo.com
This isn't an April Fool joke is it? Such an attractive bundle. Would love to see bloc loc rulers and Perle thread on Massdrop. I have an account but haven't ordered anything yet. Seems kind of intimidating.
I've had a massdrop account for a while, but haven't bought anything yet. The shipping seems a little steep for me, especially with our exchange rate these days. I would love to see sewing machine extension tables and spring loaded scissors.
Thanks for the giveaway! What an incredible bunch of solids!!
melissadonnett@gmail.com
Love Massdrop. Would like to see some long arm rulers
jasheeler(at)gmail.com
Awesome giveaway. What about ruler assortment.
I have an account and I would like to see sewing mats or presser foot bundles :)
I have an account with massdrop, and I like keeping an eye on their deals! I am always looking to stock up on thread and quilting needles for my machine!
I signed up for massdrop recently. I'd live to see them offer a deal on an Accuquilt GoBaby.
Great giveaway....would love a chance to fondle all those fabrics
I have a massdrop account but haven't really got to grips with it yet. Maybe I should try something small first
Already have massdrop. I would like to see bolts of kona. Snow? Ash? By the bolt at massdrop prices would be yay!! Great give away. Thanks for hosting. Mrscummings2u at Gmail dot com
Wow K - this is amazing. I'm already a Mass Drop member so I'll just leave a comment here and say I would love to make one of Eliz Hartman's patterns with some of this bundle.
Thanks for the contest.
I have an account. What a great buy on solids.
Missed it...drat!
I have a MassDrop Account and recently got a screaming deal on a 100 pack of Wonder Clips. Missed getting in on this deal but hoping you pick me, pick me.
g.dunn@shaw.ca
I love Massdrop. I'd like to see more solids and blenders... or, rather, my quilting room does but my wallet does not :D
I recently go my first "drop" & have joined a couple more since! I love all the tools they have had recently.
I have an account but have not purchased anything...yet! Would have loved those fabrics but hopefully they will be offered again! Would love a collection of text fabrics!
mumbird3(at)gmail.com
i have an account, not used it yet, too much fabric already, lol but i forgot about other things like threads.
What a spectacular giveaway!
Cheers

I have an account - love Massdrop - I would love them to drop the purple Panasonic 360 irons we used at QuiltCon! !!
Gorgeous colours, would so love to win this bundle, so many sketches I could make with these.
I've purchased a few things off Massdrop and been happy each time. I missed this one, so I'd love to see it again (or win the one you are giving away)!
I'd love to win this! What a great stash builder for a relatively new quilter. I'm working on 2 completely solid quilts right now (including one from the #VMQGWEDGIEWORKSHOP) and can't wait to make more with this beauty of a box). If massdrop would bring back the Tutto Sewing Machine cases, I'd be all over that! I found Massdrop just after that drop ended and I've been holding out.
I haven't bought anything yet, I am biding my time, but I do have an account with my gibbylet21 at hotmail dot com email address!
Those are so beautiful, I wish I hadn't missed the drop!
I had not heard about massdrop before now. I signed up to see what kinds of deals are available.

I'm sorry I missed this deal. I'd like Kai scissors or Bloc-Loc rulers.
I'm sorry I missed this deal. I'd like Kai scissors or Bloc-Loc rulers.
I'd like to see this bundle back again! Failing that, I'd like to see Sewline glue pens and a stack of refills.
Great giveaway - I'd like to see thread for sale.
I've had a mass drop account for a while and have purchased a few things now. Humm and hawed over that solids one and I guess I missed it! I would love to see more big items on there - accuquilt, mats, etc…

I would love to see Martelli items on MassDrop... I seem to remember they may have tried before, but maybe if we bug them e enough they'll do a deal??? cassie.hatch@gmail.com
I have a Massdrop account & have loved the drops that I've purchased. I'd love to see this drop being listed again & perhaps Denyse Schmidt's latest fabric line Franklin. I'd also love to see a Sizzix die cutter as a drop. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!

lenelson(at)mail(dot)com
I love Massdrop - it is my new ebay:-)I would like to see Bloc-Loc rulers. m_conaway@verizon.net
I am a massdrop addict lol! In fact, I even applied for a job with them :) I would love to see a bundle of different glues for glue basting, with refills.
I would love another chance to buy the DS fat quarter box, that is what I would want Massdrop to have again. I did not realize the quantity was limited, when away to think about it and by the time I returned it was all sold out :(
I about cried when I saw this drop was over and I'd missed it! Yes, I have a Massdrop account and love it!
I'd love to see Block Lock rulers and half yard bundles of fabric. So far the bundles all seem to be fat quarters. While I do love fq's, I'd really be happy about larger bundles.
I already receive the regular Massdrop emails. I would love to see Massdrop offer more bundles of solid fabrics, including Oakshot fabrics.
silverthimble@shaw.ca
I would love to see a hex and more ruler come up on Massdrop
I'm already on Massdrop! I would love to see a complete FQ bundle of Best Day Ever!
I believe I have an account. I got an email from them. I haven't studied the stock they carry yet. But batting rolls an assorted wide backing fabrics perhaps.
I've gotten Aurifil from Massdrop. Would love to see some Art Gallery bundles!
Love massdrop!!!! Batting rolls would be awesome!!! shayne.dickson.quilts@gmail.com
The DS solids look beautiful. I'm very pleased to hear you say they also have a very nice hand.
I have a Massdrop account and am currently waiting for some B & W backing fabric to be delivered!
I would love, love, love to win this awesome box of fabric! As far as something else quilting related which I'd like to see available on Massdrop, it would be a half-yard bundle of LOW VOLUME fabrics. FQs are a little limiting when you plan to use them as background...
I already have a Massdrop account, would love to see any quilting notions.
I have a Massdrop account and particiapted in an Allison Glass budle drop. Yum!! I would love to see BOLTS of Kona on Massdrop. amycav at hotmail dot com
I signed up for MassDrop at QuiltCon but haven't ordered anything yet. I would love to see fabric bundles of a whole designer's line in a size bigger than a fat 1/4. Like a half yard or yard. Sometimes you need more than a fat 1/4. Thanks. melonpatch.quilts at yahoo dot com
I would love for Massdrop to offer a full bolt of some basic Kona colors (Snow, charcoal, etc). Thanks for the amazing giveaway chance!
I've never heard of massdrop.... Great box of fabrics!
I've never heard of massdrop.... Great box of fabrics!
I missed the drop and am still sad about it. I would actually love to see massdrop offer more solid bundles
I always love seeing the Aurifil boxes, and would like to see even more!! Thanks for a stellar giveaway Krista!
I have a Massdrop account but haven't purchased yet. Shipping cost and the exchange on our Canadian dollar are a big consideration. I would like to see a batting assortment of baby quilt size packages of each type of quilt batting offered by one company. It would be a great way to compare them and pick a favourite.
I have a mass drop account. Has mass drop ever had Oakshott fabrics? Great giveaway! Crazeematz@gmail.com
I have a Massdrop account. I would love to see Procion dye kits on Massdrop. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome fabric!

I get their emails but have not bought anything yet. I look every day though so it's only a matter of time.
How about ariful variegated poly thread??
Love the challenge of using all of these in one quilt!!!
I'd love for them to offer Aurifil thread!
Would love to see sewing machines!
I've had a Massdrop account, but haven't bought anything yet. I would love to see them offering tools like rotary cutter!

I have a Massdrop account and have ordered Aurfil thread at great prices from them. I'd like to see more Aurifil bundles!
tstanulis@verizon.net
What an awesome give-away! I got my Cotton & Steel basics from Massdrop and was super pleased. They seem to have great fabric drops maybe there could be more drops for basic quilting supplies? Rotary cutters, rulers, thread ect?
Love to win the box of freespirit solids from Massdrop. I'm a frequent buyer of quilting products from them. I'd like to see Quilter's Dream Wool batting offered again soon.
Email- ehsquilts@gmail.com
I would like to see the Oliso Pro iron offered again.
I think I would like to see either:
1. Warm and Natural wool batting
2. New Kona Cotton bundle
3. repost this bundle again as I missed out :-(
I have an account at Massdrop. Have not purchased anything yet. Each item I was going to purchase I decided to compare their price with other prices for the same items and Massdrop's prices were higher so I didn;t make the purchase. Maybe someday something I want to buy will be a good deal.
