Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Vol 8 and Giveaway

It's time for another Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Blog Tour!!!  I am just tickled to have another block in this wonderful publication.  My block for Vol #8 is called A Study In Quilting.  It uses HST's, Flying Geese, and squares.  My favorite building blocks :)



And when you take 4 blocks and rotate them you create not 1, but 2 star patterns.  So fun!!  I made this "A Study in Quilting" quilt for the magazine and you can find it in the Designer's Gallery on page 13.


I used a layer cake of Kate Spain's Cuzco and lots of different neutral solids for the background.  This block would also be really great for some serious scrap busting!!


Since the block design was all about my favorite types of piecing units, I decided to quilt it with some of my favorite quilting designs.  I did a mixture of swirls, paisley's, and pebbles.  It was so much fun.  The pebbles worked great for filling in some of those hard to get to spaces :)


I had so much fun designing A Study in Quilting and I hope you like it :)   Be sure to follow the 100 Blocks Blog Tour every day from Nov 11-15  at The Quiltmaker Blog Quilty Pleasures  to see all of the blocks and have a chance at lots and lots of  giveaways!

And speaking of Giveaways, lets have one!!!!

For 3 lucky readers, I have a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol 8 and to each copy I will be adding 3 of my patterns, you can choose your favorites :)


For a chance to win . . . Just leave me a comment telling me what you like to study :)

All followers of my blog, new and old, can have a bonus entry.  Just leave a comment telling me how you follow ie, bloglovin, facebook, email, ect :)

And that's it.  2 entries per person max and everyone is welcome to enter.  I will choose the winners Saturday evening, Nov 16 :)  Good Luck and Happy Quilting!!!
Pin It!

    When I (re)read your profile (since this is not my first visit and was reminded that you are mom of 5 kiddos, I thought about my mom. She wanted her own basketball team. She loved basketball. Well, 5 of her pregnancies made it to term. She and dad name me when they were juniors in college and I was the last and only girl and arrived 11 years later. Dad had to come up with my first name after I was born.

    I have a love of math. I don't study it much any more. I wanted to be a math teacher and took the first computer class at my university. I did major in math and minored in computer science. I also majored in education. Even though I worked in computers, I got a masters in education and was 2 classes and a dissertation shy of a PhD in gifted ed. I had to give it up. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia two weeks after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I did continue for several years until it was too much and things were too overwhelming and I realized I wasn't going to be able to use the degree anyhow. I have a daughter who is a Board Certified teacher. (Board Certified is a big deal in education. It is not an easy task to get Board Certified). She teaches math in a high school two states away from me. Can you tell I'm a proud mama?

    Sunday a lady in our Sunday school class was asking for folks to tutor at one of the grade schools in the school district my childlren attended. She was telling how one of the boys had wires to hold his pants on. Another had an adult (maybe his dad's) shirt on. It was a decent school back in it's day. I think our church tutors kids from the high school my children attended. Our church is right across the street from the high school. Personally I would rather tutor the older children. I love my grandchildren. I think I just connect better with older folks. I think I may see if I can tutor Alg I next year, if my health hold up.

    So, I am thrilled with your block. I love to see the secondary and tertiary patterns emerge. It's like Christmas morning. SURPRISE! When I saw the picture of your block. I begin to wonder what was going to emerge and I was thrilled.

    I am anxiously awaiting results to see if a precious 4 month old little girl is going to be my granddaughter. I have three grandboys. I'm excited to think about sewing ruffles and pink, pink, pink. My son is ok either way and he says he will be thrilled if she is his. I spend hours on rabbit trails - I go to a web site and then look and look and look and then click on a link and on and on and on. I am thrilled with your connection with Fat Quarter Shop. I love the fabrics you chose for the vintage quilt with a modern twist. I hope I got the gist of that. I was thinking of possibilities for Jessika. I have three great nieces and I great nephew. I have made birth gifts for them. I don't want to start the traditional of spoiling them. My brother had discouraged me from gifting more than at birth. So, I'm so excited to think about making girl things in addition to boy things.

    Congrats on being in a great publication.

    I love to learn and take classes. If I had the money, I'd go back to college. My first degree was in chemistry, but English, history, biology and religion were my favorite subjects. Saturday I'm taking a class on beading, so right now I guess I'm studying beading.

    I love to study and apply new block building techniques: from precision templates, to paper piecing, to scrap combustion (creating standardized blocks as soon as a fabric is about to be pitched into the scrap pile of despair.) I, also, love to study color placement and how the same block/then quilt can look entirely different depending on where the color/value/neutral is in the block. All very fascinating...;)
