Flower Box
I am so thrilled to announce that my block made it into Quiltmakers' 100 Blocks issue! It will hit the newstands on Nov. 16. This week they are having a blog tour of the designers in the magazine, and I am happy to be participating in that as well. And to thank you for stopping by, I will host a small Giveaway! Leave a comment on my blog by Friday, and I will randomly select a winner to get a free issue of the magazine! And, be sure and checkout
Quiltmaker's website, they are having
giveaways as well, and I have sent a small little gift for that as well!!
I used my fabric,
Urban Landscapes, to create this fun applique block! See below for several setting ideas. I can't decide which one I like the best, on point, or just straight up. I think the red border is my favorite though, what do you think?

I'm with you, love the red border. Congrats on having your block included in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!
Such a versitile block setting. I like skinny borders, so the tiny red border with the larger yellow border catches my eye.
Great block! I love the blue border very much but red is great too!
Lovely block and blog!

What a fun block...I love it in each colorway!
Beautiful block. I like the blocks set on point best and the blue border a little better than the red.
I just love applique quilts - very pretty block!
Thanks for the chance in your drawing!
My father always told me that any color was OK so long as it was RED. Congratulations on having your lovely block included in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine. Thanks for the giveaway, and please put my name in the hat.
I cast my vote for red on point. Nice block and great fabric.
I prefer the on point setting and the red border both. Congrats on making 100 Blocks V2!

I like it on point and with the red border. Cute block!

It's a hard decission, both borders look great for me!!!
I like your block and look forward to seeing it in the magazine!
Congratulations on having your block in this publication. I love the block in the on point setting with the blue border! They are all great but that one really speaks to me, LOL. Thanks for all the great setting ideas. Great fabric too!!!
Fun, fun, fun block. The fabrics really make this block.

I've never tried applique, but I really like your block, so I might have to jump in.
Congratulations on being in this wonderful magazine!
Nice block - Congratulations on your block being in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.
Great block! Love the on point settings!
wowza! I like them both but I think I like on point best
I love the quilt (block)
It is so cheerful
I totally agree with you; the red border looks great. I also am drawn to blocks done on point so that's the one that gets my vote. I'm super excited to get my hands on this magazine. When the first one was released I was more into machine embroidery after getting my first really nice sewing machine but over the past year I've become very interested in learning to quilt. That's why I can't wait to get this magazine so I can try making some of the beautiful blocks I've seen so far while doing the blog tour
On point, for sure. The little two-color borders sure make the yellow parts pop. Adorable little quilt!
Loved visiting your site. Congrats on having your block in this issue of 100 blocks.
Karen
Love the red one the best :)

Great block and love your colors!
love them all, a bit partial to the yellow border though.
WOW! What a great block!!!!
I don't usually care for Art Quilts, but I like this block. Your different colored borders really show how different colors change how a quilt looks.
I love your creative colorful style. I have seen you on Quilting Arts too! Great block!
Isn't it interesting how one of the quilts just seems to speak to each of us. For me, it's the red border. I love the combination of this block and your fabrics.
Congrats on being included in 100 Blocks.
Congratulations on being included in the 100 Blocks Volume #2 magazine from Quiltermaker. Your block is great. Interesting color choice.
I love the movement in the quilt when the block is on point! I think I would like to do it with a small gold border and then a larger blue one. For some reason I want two borders on it.
Thank you sincerely for the chance to win.
What a very unique interesting block. It is very lovely. I agree with you about liking the red-bordered version the best. Thank you for the giveaway.
Blocks on point are my favorite setting...yours look nice that way.
Congrats on being chosen for the magazine. The layout I like would be straight up, with a thin blue border and a wider red border, similar to your 3rd one.
The secondary design formed by your block is so cute!!
I love the on point, red border, but they are all very nice!
My favorite is on point with the blue border. Your block makes such a pretty quilt! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
What a fun looking block! How cute! I liked them all so I don't think I can pick. *sigh* LOL

Your block is so colorful and modern. Really like the quilt with the blue border.
I love the red border. I can see this book is going to make me work on my applique skills!
I like the yellow border one the best...makes the yellow flowers pop out...my favorite!
Your block looks so springy even though winter is coming.
What a pretty quilt this block makes. I like it on point with the red border. Congratulations on making the book.
I love the blue for border-
Thanks for the opportunity to win such a nice magazine.

That is completely gorgeous! Good work.
Wow, what a wonderful block. I am hoping I will be able to find a copy of this magazine here in Australia if I don't win one. Thank your for your contribution.

Nice job on the quilt block Kathy! I like the quilt with the dark blue borders because it lets the design have all of the attention, and contrast so well with the yellow flowers that they really pop!
Happy Quilting,
Congratulations!
I like the Red & Blue ones.
Congratulations on being included! Thank you for sharing.

That's a great block! It looks wonderful in a full quilt!
I would like to win the magazine
This is my first visit to your Blog, (lowers head) "I am not worthy" The blocks are so beautiful and full of rich colors. I will now add you blog to my obsession of fabrics and quilt looking online. Now if I can just get to actually Quilting! Oh, and to get a copy of the magazine in the mail would be delightful! Thanks, Holly In ORegon
Yup.......the red border. :-)
Having lots of fun with the tour.
I like the blue best.
And your cute block is used in the Quilty News Holder that happens to just now be introduced by Quiltmaker. All too cute!
Cute fabric, I think the red border is cute.
Congrats on being included in the magazine. I like the quilt with the blue border; guess because the red falls along the edge. Either way, great fabrics and a great blocks.
Yup - I like the red border - kind of thought the yellow would. Maybe a combination would work.
Thanks for the great giveaway! I love your pattern with the blue border.
That block makes a lovely quilt... especially with the red border. Thank you for the giveaway.

Congratulations on having your block in the magazine. Love the Block on point with the blue border.
Alda, Fl
I like both the yellow and the red borders. And I'm usually not a yellow person. Very pretty!
Kathy--your designing continues to inspire me. Keep up the good work.
Definitely the red border with the block on the point. Very nice work. Isn't it interesting how just changing the direction or the border can make such a difference.
Hugs - Marie
I like #2, on point w/ the red border, but I would say add a skinny little yellow border between the body of the quilt & the red border, :-)
Congrats on your block being included into Volume II. I love the kalidoscope effect of your block.
