It's time for another
100 Blocks Blog Hop!!! Volume 12 of 100 Blocks Magazine is hitting new stands everywhere and I am so very honored to have a block in it!! The block is called Royalty and it is block #1170. Isn't that just so fun ;)
I just love 100 Blocks magazine!!! They are just jammed pack with so many wonderful designs!! This is the 7th time I have had a block in 100 Blocks and I hope there will be many more to come ;)
And if you are wondering what Royalty looks like in a quilt . . . well, wonder no more. Here is my latest quilt finish!!! I am calling it Queen of Hearts ;)
I absolutely love the Red, Black and White color combo!!! Just like in the block, I used my favorite Grunge Basic in Red, but used two different shades alternating the two shades in each blocks to give the quilt a cool two tone effect. the blacks and whites are prints from Zen Chic's Modern Backgrounds Ink and Paper.
I love how this block comes together to make such a fun secondary design. Sometimes I see the Red hearts coming together, and other times I see the white X's and black lattice. So fun!!! It really does have lots of fun movement.
When it came time to quilt, I decided to go with a beautiful big all over swirl. And just like
in this quilt I shared last week, I went with a gorgeous
Red Fox #469 So Fine #50 Thread !! I just love the way it blends in the red and pops on the black and white!!!
And that is Queen of Hearts, made with the Royalty Block!!! I hope you love it as much as I do ;)
And one lucky Happy Quilting reader will be getting the Royalty Block pattern as well as 99 other amazing block patterns in Volume 12 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!!!!

We are now in the eleventh of the 12 months of the year.
ReplyDelete12 minutes past my bedtime! Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCounting my hubby and myself, our children and grandchildren...we need to set the Thanksgiving table for 12...the wonderful men and women who married into the family will have to eat with the horses, no room for them!!!
ReplyDeleteWow great block! Cannot believe they are up to issue 12 already!
ReplyDelete12 days of Christmas is coming up fast!! Love your block! thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had 12 girls in my Girl Scout troop instead of 11 as it would so much easier when splitting up into teams. Love your block and finished quilt too.
ReplyDeleteThere are less than 12 days until my son comes home from college for the first time--I need to clean the quilts-in-progress off his bed before then! Fun block--thanks for the chance to win a copy of the latest 100 blocks mag!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great block, glad it made it into volume 12.
ReplyDeleteIn 12 days everything will be ready for the 1.of Advent in our house....lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat block!
How ironic--there are 12 comments ahead of mine!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I could make 12 blocks using the 100 Blocks book!
ReplyDeleteI love that Quiltmaker is up to volume 12 and the designers are still going strong!

ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish I had 12 fingers instead of 10. Would make some things easier (stranded knitting for example). Well, really I am happy with the 10 I have. Wish they were longer and more elegant instead of the stubby ones I have however.
ReplyDeleteI haven't looked at any of the 100 Block books, but I'd be happy to start with volume 12!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful block! Congratulations on being chosen for Quiltmaker's 100, Vol. 12.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!

Cool block. The 12 Days of Christmas will soon be upon us, so I better get sewing!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting your block in Vol. 12, it is a great block. I could see it in many sizes actually, imagine it much larger using only 1 of them to make a neonatal quilt at 36".

ReplyDeleteIt's 10:12 AM. ;) Great block, Melissa!

ReplyDeleteUm, I wish I had 12 hours to go through all of this blog hop but instead I need to spend at least 12 hours today cleaning my house. it won't happen but a girl can dream. Dreaming is easier than cleaning.
I just finished 12 blocks to make a nice throw quilt. Your block is great.

ReplyDelete12 minutes of uninterrupted quilting!
ReplyDeleteI have made 12 quilts as gifts since I started this quilting adventure.
ReplyDeleteYour block is great! This quilt would work in a 3 x 4 block setting as well for a total of 12 blocks.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a block of the month or 12 blocks per year. Makes a project seem manageable.
ReplyDelete12" blocks go together so fast - thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletebasaran.family@rogers.com
Lovely quilt with all those 12 blocks or should I really say 16 since it contains 9 full blocks, 12 half blocks and 4 one quarters of that block design. Love the fabrics you selected for it too, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm already making a goal to make 12 quilts this coming year. I'm sure I can find lots of inspiration in the new volume! Congrats on your achievements!

ReplyDelete12 months a year, I love reading your blog and seeing your work!!
ReplyDeleteSusie
Congrats on your block! I'd love to make a version for one or more of my parents' 12 grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteMy quilting ancestry began with my grandmother who lived in rural south Alabama. She hand pieced and quilted with whatever she had on hand...flour sacks, leftover clothing fabrics, even polyester when it became a fad. My family moved near her when I was fifteen to a small place my Dad fondly called Twelve Oaks. Mother hand pieced and quilted as well as sewing all my clothes and shirts for Dad and my 5 brothers. I found four quilt tops in her stash after she passed away, which is what started my quilting passion. Your quilt is quite nice!
ReplyDeleteBOM programs always have 12 blocks, but last time I wanted it bigger and did it for two years! At the end I had 24 blocks, which I couldn't lay out in a way I liked so I had to make an extra for a 5x5 layout.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to be included in this book. I appreciate your offer to give one away,thank you.

ReplyDeleteVolume 12 snuck up on me. I didn't realize it was coming out until I saw a mention of it - just yesterday.
