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 the 100 Block issues. I'm new to quilting and when you see just a single block and what can be done with it makes the whole process less daunting. Thanks for the giveaway!

Karyn said…
I can't think of anything in the 100 blocks I don't like. I have all 8 issues and guard them like gold. I had lent out my first issue and it never came back (oh, the horror!) Thankfully, they reprinted it, and my collection is complete again!

I love the first layout of your block. It looks like flowers! I think this made my list of things to play with. I'm curious to see how the color changes what comes to the front!

Congrats on being in all 8 issues!

My favorite Quiltmaker section is Bonnie Hunters column. I love scraps! Your block is great too!

My favorite thing is all the inspiration I get every time I open the magazine.

Love your block! I put little sticky tabs on the block pages that will adapt well for scrap blocks...although...I do mark some that just call to me! I also enjoy the bios of the quilters.

Audrey said…
I agree with you, Quiltmaker has a very good thing going with their 100 Block magazines. I can hardly wait until Volume 8 is on newsstand November 19th. What I like most about Quiltmaker is that in each issue there is something for everyone no matter what their skill level. I especially like the tips to make quilting easier. Individual blocks inspire me to experiment with designing my own unique quilt. Many of the blocks our guild uses for comfort quilts are from Quiltmaker.

Emily C said…
I love all the different blocks. I find it amwazing that they can fit all those instructions into such a tiny space.
Texana said…
Oh, your Celtic Cross block is beautiful, but the secondary pattern that emerges when you make a whole quilt is incredible! That just went to the top of my want-to-makes...

I have always enjoyed Quiltmaker magazine, there is always at least one quilt in each issue that I absolutely must make...If I live long enough!
Unknown said…
