Quiltmaker 100 Block Blog Tour

Hi Everyone!

Glad you could drop by for the blog tour.  It is day 2, make sure that you check out all the featured bloggers on the tour.  You can see who is blogging today and all week on Quiltmaker's Blog.

My block is called Celtic Cross #775.  Here it is:


When the editors of Quiltmaker's first decided  to do this, they had given out forms and information on how to submit a block.  So, I decided to go ahead and try it.  I am so glad that I did!  I have been in every volume and I can't believe that we are on Volume 8!  They have a great thing going. 

I thought that I would give you some setting options for my block.  Here are a few:
Set straight with no sashing

For the second quilt, I added sashing and cornerstones in the quilt and they are shown above. 

Now for the giveaways!  Quiltmaker will be giving an issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 8 to one lucky winner.  I will also be giving a signed copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 8!

To enter to win, tell me your favorite feature in Quiltmaker magazine or Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.  It can be anything from the different blocks, quilt options, ads, anything! 

I will announce the winners on Monday morning.  If you can, please leave your email address with your comment.  Sometimes, it's hard to track you down if I don't have a contact.  Thanks!

I hope you enjoy the latest issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!

I love your block and think my favourite part of the magazine is the blocks and the inspiration I get from the different use of colours - sometimes I am really suprised as to which colours look best together as they wouldn't have been my choice at all.

I love all the block patterns--I got my first issue when I was working on a sampler quilt and used several of the blocks in the quilt. Love seeing how your block looks made up into a quilt--love the secondary pattern it makes!

Congrats on being in every issue. Very deserved inclusions. I have a SIL who is a UM pastor. She and my bro are very difficult to gift. When she graduated from seminary in prep for a second career, I made a quilt for her. Now, a second quilt (one from this pattern) may be going to either their home or the manse. When I saw the first design, I saw a flower first, not the cross. It always amazes the secondary and tertiary design that appear. I love the design. (I'm glad she loves blues as much as I do!)

Every new block I see becomes my new "favorite"So I would have to say that I like the variety and I absolutely love the gallery and the opportunity to see some of the blocks as completed quilts.

This is a beautiful block - I particularly like the second setting. I've been getting Quiltmaker for 20+ years. I love the patterns and have used many of them over the years. The 100 Blocks magazines are brilliant and have been a great source of ideas. I appreciate that they provide ways of using them as well. Even more, it introduces us to designers we might not be aware of. (whysyourhatwet@hotmail.com)

I love the blocks AND the added bonus of quiltmaker (and just as you did in your post) giving us other layout views. Sometimes it can look completely different. That's when my brains starts to work and think of how I can use the blocks. Congrats on your fabulous block….now into Vol 8!!!!

Lovely block! I like that Quiltmaker always asks Facebook fans for volunteers for block testing. I've done it before and tested one of your block designs! Thanks for the chance to win!

In Quiltmaker I go to two articles first and then look at the rest of the magazine. The two articles are Addicted to Scraps by Bonnie Hunter and Design Studio by Carolyn Beam. So much inspiration and ideas from these two. Then again I love the whole magazine. And you block just went to the top of my to do list. Beautiful! Thanks for the chance to win.

I read lots of quilting magazines and to me it seems like Quiltmaker and the 100 blocks issues have more original patterns than most magazines. That is more interesting to me than patterns I've seen many times and the only change is the fabrics.

I love the different patterns and blocks they show. Congrats on being chosen again for a block in the magazine. I love the block, and can come up with a few color ways to use it. I may have to add it to my list of quilts to do.

I've never bought one of the 100 Block books before. Fairly new to Quiltmaker itself. But I'm loving the variety of blocks I've seen so far. If I don't win the book, I'm pretty sure I'll be buying it.

I love Quiltmaker because just about every quilt that is featured, I want to make. there are very few I don't like...and when they give you options for layouts or fabrics, sometimes that transforms my opinions.
I love anything Celtic, so your block has become my new favorite!

I love your block and both of the quilt settings you have shown! What I have enjoyed the most from Quiltmaker (my favorite magazine along with Quilty)is definitely the patterns and the different setting and color ideas they show. I love applique and pieced blocks that have roots in traditional but with a new twist to them, and Quiltmaker encourages designers like yourself to create along those lines to share with us!

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: Simple on point with s

Welcome! It is so nice to once again be included in the magazine and the blog tour!  I love to hear from everyone and hope that you will comment for a chance to win a copy of the magazine plus much more! The block that is included in the Quiltmaker 100 Block Volume 5 is called Diamond Eyes.  It may not be a surprise to some of you that one of my favorite elements in a block and quilts as well, is the diamond shape.  I think it adds beauty to the quilts and some different elements.  Here is my block: Since my husband has been ill and I have been working on getting ready for Market, I decided to do some give-aways instead of a project.  I hope that you understand and although I don't have alot of time, I can do some great give-aways.  If you make a comment, you will be entered to win one of the following: First, the magazine is giving away a copy of the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 5. Second, my newest rulers will be debuting at Market.  It is a "mini"
