290: 100 Blocks Blog Tour

290: 100 Blocks Blog Tour

Welcome to day 3 of the 100 Blocks blog tour!

yep, believe it or not they let me back in!!

I had to get in because I saw that in Volume II,  my friend Monica got a Mug for being in that volume…I was in Volume I and didn’t get one, but I don’t think the Quiltmaker folks knew what a hot seller this would be…so I am happy to say…yes, I got my mug this time!!

 

I also got this HUGE button….

seriously,  it is 6 ” across or so….I think I may string it on some selvage and sling it over my back at Market, because if it were in front it would really bug me….

What is even more amazing is….they let me in with this block!  I knew that on it’s own, well, it’s rather a strange block….

(here the block is done in Country Lane by Bari J)    (which I think is a hard to find line of fabric now already….testimony to it’s solid design, huh?)


But see the whole time I was thinking about it, I knew it had to be part of a community of blocks…..(like how I used that word “community“…yeah,  I am trendy like that…or as my oldest son might call it “trendly”  He is adding to the English language daily, I swear….and it’s not because he is just learning to speak…he’s 18  and an inch taller than me …)

Here is a little village of blocks in this wall hanging using Honey Child by Jennifer Paganelli.

I like how this one midsized blocks makes up these ginormous blocks.  I also like the on point block that
“appears” within the design.  To be honest, I don’t remember noticing that when I designed it, but I REALLY like it now that it is done up here!

 

And the best thing?? you can get your own free copy right here by commenting

…Let’s say something about your hopes for spring, or your favorite fabric this year so far, or what you want me to bring back from Quilt Market to give away…something along those lines…Comment until Saturday nite the 7th of May…I think that is the time I get my last quilt back from the quilter’s to bind for Market…whew…nothing like cutting it close…I leave Thursday at O’Dark thirty….

Here are some sneaks at some of what I have been working on ……just in case you thought I was sitting around watching reruns of Better Off Ted or something equally entertaining but unproductive…..

 

I know they just look like piles of fabric there…..but really I have done something with most of these already and some I need to do right away when I get back from Market.

 

So leave a comment here to win  a copy of 100 Blocks  and don’t forget to stop by the other blogs on the tour all week for your chance to win there as well!  I will also have some for sale when I get back from Market too…and it will be available on the newsstands May 10th too.

 

Stay tuned for some more upcoming news…I hope to be able to announce before Market….I am excited about it…I hope you will be too!!

    I am intrigued by all the fabulous fabric showing in your photos. I’m going to stretch myself this summer and make a Kaffe Fassett quilt. I usually do the Kansas Troubles/Thimbleberries pallet but I need to get out of my rut. Love your block…it looks like a divided churn dash with all kinds of possibilities.

  • I really like the Starstruck block – think I’ll try it in pastels for a baby quilt. My hope for spring is that we actually get one and not crash into summer after this soggy cool spring in northeast Wisconsin. Congratulations on being in the 100 Blocks book again!

  • I love the way the block looks when surrounded by others of the same. It is really neat! I am so ready for spring to be here in Colorado. It was snowing still as of last weekend, but it does look nice for the rest of the week.

  • Ok, I love a good secondary design! Love the block with its siblings but now I’m wondering what this baby would do in a two block design? Perhaps with another block from the book? (or your previous one? Gotta go pull out that issue now). Oh, the idea wheels are rolling. Got to get this issue!

    This block has so many possibilities of secondary patterns, depending on how it is set — one of my favorite things about pieced blocks. …and all the “eye candy” — I look forward to seeing what you made with those fabrics.

    Wonderful block, especially when it is communitified. I don’t think that’s a word, but I think it fits! My hope for spring echoes Lisa Marie – we need some warmer weather. Here in Missouri it was 36 degrees this morning. I also hope for lots of sewing time.

    May 4, 2011 at 8:30 am
  • This block is great with all of the versatility in it. Thank you for sharing it with us. My hopes for spring are to get spring cleaning done quickly so I can get back to quilting. Take care and God bless, Cory

    Wowza, this block didn’t make it for me at first glance… then I saw how it looked when it played with all its friends…then BAZZINGA I wanna make some! I can see it done in scrappy and in planned colors, but what a great do-able block. Thanks so much…I can’t wait to see it in the magazine so I can start sewing up a dozen or more blocks….love the pointy effect in the “sashing” that appears. I like the idea of community too, and can relate this block to being very friendly!

    Love your block, I feel like a little kid when I get to see a block do all different things with placement of color. Your fabric pics had some type of animal (cow, moose, donkey?) in red on what seemed like a blue background – what is that? From market for giveaways…fabric bundles and new patterns, autographed books are always nice too! For Spring, my hope, hope, hope is that I get my garden beds to look wonderful with a mix of veggies and amazing flowers to cut every other day!

    What a great looking block and yes, the illusion of it being on point is very cool! Hmmmm something about Spring? Ummmm WHERE IS IT? Yea, Northern IL and we had frost warnings last night and again tonight. 🙁 And what can you bring back from Market for me? Well, see if you can find one of those awesome mugs that someone isn’t guarding. LOL OR you can just send me yours. ha I think the people at Quiltmaker should be giving some lucky winners one of those mugs. I KNOW I’d love to have one myself and I surely cannot be alone.

    Have lots of fun at Market and for the shoes ~ maybe since no one cares about your shoes you should find some heels and see if they pay attention to those Scott. LOL I would be willing to bet they’d surely check out your shoes every single time they see you after you showed up in some heels.

    Ha! Heels! I so don’t think so….but nice try!! 🙂

    Hope your trip goes really well. My hopes for spring are to finish an applique quilt that I’ve been working on for a while.

  • Wonderful block

  • My favorite fabric line this year is Sherbet Pips. I’m not as impressed with the color combos of the new line though (that army green just clobbers me every time). Could you bring back something colorful and exciting form market? Something that says “I’m the new IT!”
    thanks!

    I love the secondary block that is formed. You made a great block.

  • What an amazing block. With Spring I am looking forward to some lovely dry sunny warm days. It has certainly been a long cold winter.

    love the pattern it makes when put with other blocks. I wish we’d stop getting nice days of Spring here in Idaho, followed by yucky days of winter still. It needs to be spring already! I loved the paris fabrics inspired by the gardens there. Can’t think of the name though sorry.

  • I have to admit…I thought the block a little different, too. (Notice i didn’t say strange…) But seeing it with all the other blocks….it’s absolutely wonderful!! And I love it! Who knew?! I’d love to win a copy of the book.

    The block looks great in the setting you did. Makes me want to pull out some of my stash. Thanks for sharing. Hoping that the coming months bring back a much more robust economy.

    My hope for Spring is that it will arrive soon. There is snow in the forecast here in Northern New York. I need some nice weather and lots of sunshine.

    I enjoy blocks with bonus secondary patterns. Your block alone is not impressive, but when shown off as a set, it looks great.

    Hmmm, Spring is almost over here. Lilacs, magnolias and flowering cherries have bloomed; mexican orange blossom is out as are the first of the roses and the paeonies. As for Market – two words. Prince Charming! or Silent Cinema or Honey Child or Moda’s Amelia, Terrain…….. oh heck brain has gone completely blank!

  • I am hoping for nice weather for the rest of spring (nice meaning no more destructive storms.)

    Beautiful! For spring I’m looking forward to getting the yard in some kind of shape. I’d love to have my little area out back pretty and ready for coffee in the mornings.

    We are starting our garden planning now. The chilly rainy days do put a damper on our spirits though. Set up a tiny greenhouse to get some plants started….needs a heater though without sun 😛
    So glad you got that great looking mug this year! Your block would be great for a scrap busting project.

    I love blocks that make interesting secondarly (to introduce a son-like word) pattern. I also like surprises when I piece my quilts together.
    Thanks for all of the sneak peaks! My life is so busy right now I wouldn’t even know what to suggest you bring back…just make it lively, hmmm?

    Well Spring is a long way off here – it is Autumn in Australia but I do have great hopes for winter and for the coming spring. For winter I hope to spend more time tucked up inside sewing away from the cold and for spring I hope to have a lovely quilt for my babies first birthday.

    May 5, 2011 at 5:07 pm
  • your block is wonderful, and done up in the Jennifer Paganelli fabric it’s GORGEOUS!

    i’m hoping to find more time for sewing this spring, but isn’t that what we always want? 😉 fabric wise, i’m totally loving Ruby Star Rising – anything with linen makes me swoon! my surprise love was hoopla by moda. i bought a charm pack for the hell of it, and fell in love with the bright colours and the teensy cherry print.

    May 6, 2011 at 1:06 am
  • I love how your block makes a super size block…great for a big quilt! Thanks for the chance!

    Love how your block looks all made up. Would be fun to experiment with different colors – like those AWESOME bright colors in that first pile in your post. Can’t wait to see what they are.

    My hope for spring is that I lasts and doesn’t go away too soon, summers are so hot and dry here, I’d like the nice weather to last a bit.
