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?

ReplyDeletewowza! I like them both but I think I like on point best
ReplyDeleteI love the quilt (block)
ReplyDeleteIt 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
ReplyDeleteOn point, for sure. The little two-color borders sure make the yellow parts pop. Adorable little quilt!
ReplyDeleteLoved visiting your site. Congrats on having your block in this issue of 100 blocks.

ReplyDeleteI love your creative colorful style. I have seen you on Quilting Arts too! Great block!

Congratulations on being included in the 100 Blocks Volume #2 magazine from Quiltermaker. Your block is great. Interesting color choice.

Thanks, Holly In ORegon
ReplyDeleteYup.......the red border. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaving lots of fun with the tour.
I like the blue best.
ReplyDeleteAnd your cute block is used in the Quilty News Holder that happens to just now be introduced by Quiltmaker. All too cute!
ReplyDeleteCute fabric, I think the red border is cute.
ReplyDeleteCongrats 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.
ReplyDeleteYup - I like the red border - kind of thought the yellow would. Maybe a combination would work.

Congratulations on having your block in the magazine. Love the Block on point with the blue border.
ReplyDeleteAlda, Fl
I like both the yellow and the red borders. And I'm usually not a yellow person. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteKathy--your designing continues to inspire me. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely 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.
ReplyDeleteHugs - 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, :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your block being included into Volume II. I love the kalidoscope effect of your block.
