Mark Cesarik recently released his first fabric line, Calypso Swing earlier this year.
Purples, pinks and fuschias mixed with black and white in bold geometric designs. Isn’t it yummy!!

Give-Away: Calypso Swing by Mark Cesarik
MC01 pink is my favorite, it was a very tough decision though. That whole line would make a fabulous quilt!
I am a follower on Marks blog too!
I like MC07 Gray. I’m collecting fray and yellow fabrics to make a quilt for my bed.
OH MY GOSH! I am in LOVE! This is THE perfect fabric line! I LOVE purple and in my machine embroidery designs I purchase I’m drawn to those with swirls. This fabric combines both of those into yummy fabric and an entire line of it. I am posting this and then will be sending my husband an email alerting him that I WILL be buying as much of this as I can possibly find when released. (A loan may be necessary) LOL
Picking just one of these is very difficult:
I love MC01 White because of the swirls and splashes of color and can totally see that being a gorgeous shower curtain in our bathroom.
BUT, my favorite of all (at this very second which is subject to change as the clock ticks by HA) would be MC10 Purple. Beautiful. I think that would be a super cute purse.
Of course, the quilts, table runners, kitchen aprons, oven mitts etc made from all these fabrics could possibly overrun my house. I have a friend who loves purple as much as I do and she would be thrilled to receive anything made with these fabrics as well.
beautiful fabric. love purple and pink. thank you
Picking just one of these is very difficult:
I love MC03 Pink or MC03 Wine
BUT, my favorite of all (at this very second which is subject to change as the clock ticks by HA) would be MC09 Purple. Beautiful.
Not sure whether it would end up a small quilt or a messenger bag, but love it!
It is all so lovely it is hard to decide which I want most. I think I could do the most with MC10 Purple. It could be used as the center for medallions, or in stack and whack blocks, and so many other applications. I want to get out my sketch pad and start designing something to use these fabrics!
I love MC04 Pink. I would love to make a note book cover and a laptop cover with it. I love all these colors!!
I am now a follower or Marks’ blog and posted to his blog as well.
What a great line! The colors are great. My fav piece is probably MC10Purple but there are a lot of runners-up. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would choose MC01White and make a bag for spring, lined with MC10Purple.
I have to agree, the mc09 purple is beautiful – it’s hard to choose a favourite! I love the quilt pattern.
I completely forgot to add what I would do with it. I would probably make a hippie peasant skirt with some. I also like the idea of a funky quilt back with it.
I’m following Mark’s blog. Thanks for the giveaway.
My favorite is the MC10Purple. I picked that one without a second thought. It was hard to pick a second favorite from the rest of them. I think I would make a sofa throw for snuggling under while watching late night tv.
I would pick MC10Purple. I like to think I would make a purse with it but I’d probably make a quilt square with it :) I can’t stop myself!!
I also followed Mark Cesarik’s blog! Thanks!
Became a follower of Mark’s blog.
I love MC06 purple!
And I already follow Mark’s blog. Thanks for the chance to win!
MC10 Fuschia, and a quilt, of course!
Follower of Mark and Cara.
I would love to follow Mark’s blog! Lovely.
I think I would use some of those purple pinks in a Rapunzel style dress in my Etsy shop. Great colors and prints to choose from.
I love the MC04 Wine and the MC 08 Wine. I have a collection going that would make a fabulous quilt with the addition of those two! I love these!
I love the MC07 in pink. I think it has some great motion for a quilt.
What would I make from it? My sister is currently having chemo for breast cancer and would love to make her a lap quilt in pink to take for her treatments to help keep her spirits up.
I love all the colors, I would make a bag with the fat quarters.
Well if forced to choose I’d pick purple mc10.These are my colors and my crazy style! I love this whole line and have a bag picked out for them already!!
I really like MC01 White. I do like alot of them though. I see them made into bags, or used in the borders of my quilts. Im happy to be a Follower of Marks Blog. Cant wait to find some of this fabric-or win some:) G’day!! Sonya
My daughter would love a quilt out of this fabric line, it’s just soooo her! My favorite was MC02Pink, but really, it was hard to choose just one.
I’m always on the lookout for a new blog about fabric or quilting, really enjoyed Mark’s and became a follower.
MC07Gray, I am a in love with gray right now and how well it goes withe everything- like purple and pink!
I can’t decide between MC06 and MC10 in purple! I would use both of them in a quilt and a tote, and MC10 for a toddler or doll dress.
MC01Pink is my favorite. I would use them in a quilt. :)
I follow Mark’s blog.
mco1 white is my favorite–just love those swirlies. reminds me a lot of wrought iron fences which i love. thanks for the opportunity to win some of this luscious fabric line! have a great day
I love all the colors. Is so hard to find good fabrics specially being in the military over seasThanks for the chance to win!
I love the MC08 Wine. I would combine it with two others to make placemats.
MC10 Pink is my favorite. I like this line for apparel because it is a palette I am more comfortable wearing.
I love the MC09Pink
thanks for the giveaway…
I am a follower of Mark’s blog and I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I would make the free quilt pattern for Free Spirit if I win the giveway….
All the fabrics are lovely but I think my favourite would have to be MC05 Wine. If I was lucky enough to win I would use the fabrics to make a bag.
I would pick: MC02Pink.
Looks like a little lady dress
How could I ever choose a favorite, they are all beautiful. They would make such cheery backpacks or pillowcases. Love them all.
I would pick MC03wine! I love it, I became a follower of both of their blogs.
Mc 10 fuchsia and purple for THE main print , à little of some other fuchsia and purple and black and white fabrics, iI would make à trendy coat
MC07 Grey – it’s funny because I would normally go for bright colors (and I love all of these fabrics). But this neutral is so interesting and lively!
I’m following Mark and Cara’s blog.
(also I forgot to say what I’d make…truthfully I’m not sure, but maybe using this MC07 grey instead of a regular solid in a quilt would be a lot of fun)
I like MC09 Purple too! It is georgeous! I would make a tote bag out of it and think MC06Purple would make a great liner!
And I’m a new follower of Mark’s blog!
At first I thought this was really, really going to be a tough decision — I love the colors in this line! But I went over there to take a look at the individual swatches, the MC01 White just caught and held my eye. For. Ever. :)
Oh yes; and I’m also a new follower of Mark’s blog. Yay! :)
