Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour
Happy Friday! Today is my day to join in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour. Yes, that means that I have a block included in the magazine! The tour has been going on all week so make sure that you check out the other designers that are involved in the tour.
Here is the cover of the magazine:
It's so great that they have printed 7 - 100 Block Magazines! I am also so proud to say that I have been in all 7 issues!
My block is called Tiara...do you sense a theme these days? I have a book coming up next week (squee!) called Diamond Traditions and I called this block Tiara...do you think I'm a princess?! My husband sure thinks so! Anyway, here is my block:
I used the purple colorway of my fabric with Maywood Studio, Royal Gardens. I love the way this block has a center that you can fussy-cut or use an interested print inside. It was fun to make and there are so many possibilities to make a quilt with it. Here are some ideas:
Now for the fun part, my giveaways! Quiltmaker has so generously offered to send a free copy to one lucky winner!
I am also going to draw for another person to win a copy of my new book that comes out next week, Diamond Traditions. Here is the cover:
I will receive my copies on Tuesday so once that comes in, I will mail one out to the winner. So, there will be two winners, one for the magazine and one for my book. You don't need to enter twice, just leave a comment on this blog and I will pick my 2 winners. Please include your email address so that I can contact you if you win. Comment until Sunday night and I will announce the winners on Monday. Here is the question that I want you to answer in your comment: What inspires you to quilt?
For those of you new to my blog, check out my last few blogs, I have started a free Block of the Month and the instructions are included in my last blog. Also, I am starting a new article called: Ask Monique, Ann Landers Type Quilting Questions. I am super excited about doing this and if you send me a question and I answer it on my blog, I will send you a free pattern!
Thanks for joining me and enjoy the blog tour!!

Thanks for running the BOM. I've been collecting blocks, but hadn't put together exactly who was doing it.
Your block is lovely and it is obvious that it earned a well deserved place in Volume 7 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.
That said, I really really, hope to win a copy of your new book. I like your quilting designs.

My inspiration comes from people like you & the blogs you have. You can never learn enough so thank you for that.

I quilt because I enjoy the process
of choosing a pattern and fabric and while doing so, become acquainted with the artists who
designed and created them. Although
I am familiar with some of the
quilters whose blocks have been
chosen for this issue, there are
many new to me.
I am still getting most of my inspiration from reading blogs.
I am inspired to make quilts by the comfort they provide.
Thanks for sharing the different ideas for layouts. Congrats on your new book.
Lovely block - congratulations!
Thank you!

Also, I belong to a fantastic group of quilters who are unique in their work and very generous in sharing what is their "specialty."
I sew/quilt with 2 others once a week & we inspire each other. We email ideas back & forth. There isn't enough time to make everything we'd like.
Thanks for a chance to win.
