You fill find Vol 7 on sale on May 7th at your local shop or news stand, or it can be ordered online direct from QuiltandSewShop.com.
While designing my block for this issue, I was playing with several piles of left overs, both from our Easy Street Mystery quilt that started last November, and for the current mystery running in Quiltmaker Magazine, Lazy Sunday!
Traditional blocks often have units of common sizes, and it is a lot of fun for me to take the left overs of various blocks and see how I can arrange them, shake things up and come up with something that will make a great quilt design.
If you are new here, WELCOME! Please take some time to poke around. There are free patterns, tips and techniques and all kinds of interesting things to discover in the tabs at the top of the blog.
If you like what you see, I hope you'll join us on facebook --our Quiltville Friends page is over 17,500 members strong and there are always links to tips and tutorials and free quilt patterns and loads of fun going on over there.
You will find all kinds of other opportunities with links in both the right hand and left hand side bar. And don't forget to give us a follow on Pinterest as well!
And most of all I hope you will come back....OFTEN!
I’m happy to present to you, my block, JELLY BEAN BLAST!
Yes, and if you look close enough you will find a couple points that don’t “quite” match….this is just how I roll.... half on, half off, and having a great time!
I can’t wait to make this into a whole quilt…I’m thinking that each of the blocks can use four different colors in their corners…not just limited to these 4 colors…and it will be a wonderful array with a great secondary design when set together, either with or without sashings….what about putting it on point with an alternate block? Isn’t it fun to play?
Yes, I am a cover girl...but would you have guessed this one as mine? It's in the second column, 4th block down!
Would you like to be in the giveaway? I’m going to choose THREE WINNERS! 2 will receive signed copies of Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks, vol 7 from me…and one winner will have it shipped to them directly from Quiltmaker!
The drawing will be open until I return from Maine on May 6th.
You will also want to visit the other participants to learn about them and their blocks throughout the blog tour!
Happy Hopping, everyone!

Gee and it's not even 7 AM yet! I want to win! same me some $$ for fabric.
LOL, i think i have a tub (or two!) of left-over fabric from other quilts that would find a nice cozy home in this block. I love how you take bits and pieces of fabric and bring them all together into a teriffic quilt pattern. But most of all i love that you give all of us the confidence to do the same thing, and teach us that different fabrics can play nicely together.
looking forward to the publication date of the magazine and many more years of following you on your blog adventures.

Love your block - your 'signature style' with so many little pieces...what a stash buster.

to choose.I also love on point. I just do not know how you manage to fit everything in as busy as you must be.Keep on rollin'.
Good morning Bonnie. Smashing block!
Sharyn in Kalama
I always enjoy your blocks and patterns. You saw my Orca Bay when you visited Tiny Stitches in Marietta Ga a little while back. I think your Wonky Wishes will become my next charity quilt. I am overflowing with 2.5" squares and it should make at least a small dent in the pile. I would love to win the magazine.
Me, me, I'd love to win one! Thank you, Bonnie for pointing out less than perfect points. I would never have seen them, but I see them all to well in my own block. It helps to know that it even happens to you sometimes - a master piecer.
What a fun and colorful block. Thank you.
Congratulations for making the cover of this issue! I would love to win one of the copies; thank you for making it available. Great pic of you by the Maine coast...my favorite spot to be in the summer. Already have plans for Boothbay Harbor in June...annual trip to Windjammer Days.
Bonnie - What a fun block - I can see this being done in so many color ways! - 73 pieces in this block - boy will you keep me busy and out of trouble for a few minutes! LOL! -Cathy
So a couple of points don't match. It's your quilt and it just becomes even more special. I also like the idea of using 4 different colors in their corners and it will become a wonderful array with great secondary designs when set together. I just love visiting your blog and seeing what you are up to next. You are so good to your followers. Thank you for being a part of QM 100 Blocks, Volume 7 and giving us a chance to win.

Your blocks are so much fun. I would love to win. Thank you for the chance.
Can't hardly wait for the magazine to come out but it sure would be fun to win one too.

Oh, how much I would love to win as well... even more I would wish that this magazine would be available on newsstands in Germany as well... I'd surely buy it (I'm not the girl who buys subscriptions... I like hunting for magazines)
I'm soooo looking forward to see you in Ireland in about a month... can't wait!
Bonnie, your energy level is WAY more than mine!!! You come up with SO many creative projects! Jelly Bean Blast is another pattern I'm going to save for a later date - since I have so many other projects I want to finish first.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful block, Bonnie. And I'm so happy to hear that some of your points don't match. As I tell the new quilters in my beginners' classes: Finished is better than perfect! Repeat over and over.
I love this block. It is so bright and cheery, and it has stars! I'm working my way up to the more complicated blocks, but this will definitely be on my list.
Would love to add this to my collection, it's such a great source of inspiration.
Hi Bonnie - Since I found your blog a year ago...I've become a SCRAP-AHOLIC. I live right by the Jelly-Belly Fabric. I DEFINITELY want to make your Jelly Bean Blast! LOVE IT. Can't wait to see you soon in Illinois.
What a fun block Bonnie! I'm working on your Lazy Sunday too!
OOPS - I live by the Jelly Belly Factory....(my fingers type fabric without even thinking)
Love your block. Thanks for the chance to win.
Yes, I'd love a copy!
Oh, Bonnie, just love this block! I can totally see making a quilt out of this, just how many of your quilts have I made? Two are finished, three others are currently in process. What's one more? JUST LOVE THIS BLOCK!
I love the name of this block, it really fits.

Congratulations on being a cover girl! The blog tour has been so fun. There are so many creative and inspiring blocks.
Wow, I love the colors in that block! Now I feel better about my points not matching--I guess it's more important to finish and use a quilt than worry about it being perfect. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love your vol. 7 block! As soon as I decide on my next BH quilt, another great design pops up - I'll never get them all done! Would love to win this one.

Beautiful, Bonnie. I would love to have a quilt using that block but not sure about "on point".
Wonderful scrappy block and I love the name. Take care while traveling and thanks for sharing all that you do. I read your blog for a mini vacation whenever you are out and about. It means alot to a quilter who doesn't get to travel.
I would love to win the book, as I've never had one of these. I have a lot of triangles that others give me that would work in your block. Thank you for all you do for the world of quilting.
That's a great block! I would love to see a whole quilt made with it. Thanks for the opportunity to win!=)
