Hi Everyone!
I’m very excited to be participating on the first day of the blog hop promoting Quiltmaker Magazine’s 100 blocks by 100 designers, Volume 8!
This is the 7th consecutive issue I have participated in, and let me tell you, these issues get better and better and better!
There are blocks of every kind to suit every taste, from traditional and modern pieced blocks, to paper pieced blocks – blocks for appliquers and embellishers and embroiderers alike!
I just love looking at the variety of blocks and all the different techniques used to make them and am so inspired by what is pulled together all in one volume for you!
My block started out as a “What can I do with all these left over bonus triangles” experiment!
The first block I did came from the bonus triangles from several Boxy Stars quilts that were donated to charity. I made the block from the bonus triangles in random scraps in 2005:
Saving bonus triangles in usable sizes mean I actually DO use them! I used my Bonus Triangle Buddy to mark my second sewing line giving me triangle squares that give me an even measurement for ease of use!
Click HERE to learn how to save your bonus units so they are ready to go!
For volume 8 of 100 blocks – I wondered if I could tone down my usual scrappy everything look – for a bit more of a subtle color way:
I love blue and green together!
I dug into my blue and green scraps and my pre-cut squares from my Scrap User's System, including things like civil war, batik, old calicoes, recycled shirts, plaids stripes and everything under the sun as long as it was in these two color families. My usual love of scrappy neutrals as a background canvas did the job I wanted it to do – and there is everything in these backgrounds too including recycled plaids and stripes, batik, prints from the 1980s and modern black on whites!
You might even notice that not all the star points match perfectly. I sewed my block on my 1911 singer treadle machine. I’m not the best treadler out there, but I give it a good shot.
I loved this block so much that after I sent it off to Quiltmaker I just kept sewing!
In the gallery section of the magazine you will find my Scrap Crystals block in a finished quilt:
No pattern is given in the magazine for the full quilt, but it will be making an appearance in my next book, More Adventures with Leaders & Enders, published by Kansas City Star and due out in Spring 2014!
Please visit Quiltmaker’s Blog, Quilty Pleasures for more goodies and give-aways HERE! All of the other participants of this blog hop are listed on the Quiltmaker blog, so don’t miss out.
If you are new to Quiltville, I hope you’ll stick around and explore a bit! There are a multitude of tabs at the top of the blog to direct you to things like my Free Patterns, Tips & Techniques, Vintage Sewing Machines and to my Quilt-Cam –when I am home and not traveling teaching quilting, I will turn on the live web cam in my studio and you can sew along with me! These episodes are archived on YouTube and are all accessible by the links in the Quilt-Cam tab.
You will also notice a tab called Celtic Solstice! Every year I run a Reader Appreciation Mystery. Celtic Solstice is this year’s online mystery and our introductory post is linked at the bottom of the tab with the yardage requirements, colors and other info to participate in this year’s mystery which starts November 29th! It’s a ton of fun---I hope you’ll play along!
We've also got a very active Facebook community, over 37,000 readers strong! Click the link at the bottom of this post to like our Facebook page and keep up with what we are doing there. Feel free to share photos of your quilts in progress and share with others!
This blog is updated at least twice a day so you will want to keep up with the latest news and adventures of a traveling itinerant quilter. There is always something fun to read in Quiltville!
Now – the good part!
Leave me a comment in the comments section below. If you've made any of my quilts before, tell me something about your favorite!
Remember - your email address MUST be visible in your profile, or in your comment to win. If I have no way to contact you back, I'll have to choose someone else!
The drawing will be open until Sunday, November 17th when I will draw the winners.
Happy Hopping, everyone!

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1397 Newer› Newest»This block is a great on to use up a lot of my scraps. Because of you, I now keep triangles by my machine to use as leaders & enders, so maybe I will be able to make this block sometime soon.
Well, I haven't been able to quilt or sew for the past month due to a major move. But I have gotten my quilting fix by reading your blog! That blue and green "crystals" quilt is just gorgeous! Thanks for the chance to win and helping me be motivated to finish setting up my sewing room.
Thank you so much for all you do for the quilting community Bonnie! Scrap quilts are my favorite and I love how you always come up with great ways to use an abundance of scraps! the most recent quilt I've made from your directions is Old Tobacco Road. Great fun! I have 2 of your books and they call my name regularly. I would love to win this book...just to have 100 more temptations and inspirations.
Love this block! I am trying to use my scraps, and this looks like a good one to try.
Once again you have made a fantastic block! I would love to win a copy of the magazine.
Bonnie, I haven't finished any of your quilts, but I do have 3 leaders and enders on the go, and I still want to make Easy Street. Thanks for the chance to win.
What a great block! Thanks for sharing :)
I was sooo happy when I first found your website. I have made the boxy stars and just finished a quilt I call scrappy wonky stars, because you convinced me I could make pints that dont have to match. I didnt have that many triange pieces of scraps, so I started begging for friends to give me all the tiny pieces that they would normally throw away. Now I have 5 0ne gallon baggies full , AFTER I made the quilt, and it is queen sized. People are amazed that even the background is scraps that would have been thrown away. Keep up all your good scrappy work, and know you are inspiring others whose motto has been, "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"
I have tried some of your free patterns and recently bought one of your books. This block is right up my alley! It looks like a fun one.
Love your block and your blog. Like the column on saving scraps and discarded cut off pieces...hate to throw anything away so it is nice to read what you say. Thanks.
OOoh, I love pretty ways to use up scraps! Mycah A. at

I am on the fence when it comes to scrappy. I only like organized scrappy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I've been following your blog for several years now and I love hearing about your projects and travels! I feel like I've made several of your patterns, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Boxy Stars. I bought my first ever jelly roll to make that quilt and I still love it!
what a great pattern to use up scraps
I have made Easy Street and Lazy Sunday and loved doing them both. The piecing gave me a challenge because of all the angles, but that made me slow down and enjoy the process more. I have also made charity quilts using some of the free patterns on your blog. Thanks for such a fun to follow blog and of course thanks for all the giveaways.
Thanks sooo much for showing how to scrap quilt. I wasn't a believer til I saw your quilts-everything goes together!!!
Hi Bonnie, have been following your quilting career for many years. love your star in a star quilt but haven't made it yet, but it is on my TO DO list (so many quilts and so little time). Stars are my fav block.
I love the quilt you just finished for your brother. I have a lot of plaids left over and that is the perfect pattern. It is on my to do list!
I've never made one of your quilts but I follower "Jo's Country Junction" and she makes a lot of your quilts. I think I'm going to try your mystery this year as I'm Irish:) Thanks for the chance to enter.
Eu já te sigo aqui faz tempo....E agora no facebook ,amo.Já fiz alguns dos seus trabalhos.Gostaria de ganhar...Obrigada!tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com

Wow, I love scrappy quilts. Can hardly wait to make this one ...probably more than once! Th as inks for three chances to win.
I've not made one of your quilts, but am in the process of scrap organization! I met you in Casper WY a few years back before you made you move to the south eastern US.
Love your blog. You are a very generous quilter and offer so much for us, inspiring us to use our scraps!
Nice block.
I love the quilt you made from your block. It always amazes me how different an entire quilt looks vs a single block. Thank you for sharing.
Great scrappy block.
I love your website and would love to win a copy of the magazine.
Thank you!
Sue sgreen07@atlanticbb.net
Love your block!
I appreciate your leaders and enders idea so much! I have used it to make charity quilts, just by keeping stacks of squares by my machine. Thanks for showing me how easy it is to accomplish more than I expected to.
Love your block and would love to win the book. Thanks for the chance.
I just finished a scrappy trips. Have made storybook stars and still working on orca bay!
I love this scrappy square - and how nicely the subtle colors bring it together.
Love your style! Can;t wait for the 29th
I love this block and have many bonus half-square triangles that I have made over the years but didn't know what kind of project they would be in. This is one that may be used. I also cut leftover scraps into squares and have those ready too. Really connect to your scrappy quilts and love making scrappy!
Love this blog...This is my first time as a quilter..My quilt is in reds and white with the reds being in candy canes..so I've called it Candy Cane Lane...Thank you so much because I love looking at all the different quilt that you have..After this first one would love to do one in stars..I'm a little scared and excited at the same time..My Grandmother and My Mother made quilts and when they passed away all 3 of us girls got the quilts..and I treasure them...Hopefully I will be a wunner for one of your books..would love that...Thanks again so much..Brenda
Would love to win an autographed copy signed by YOU Bonnie!
I am participating in this years Mystery for the first time. I would LOVE to make Easy Street--such an amazing looking quilt.
Thanks for the chance to win. Love your blocks!

I can't wait to try your scrappy star pattern!
Loved seeing you this past April on your visit to NH and looking forward to your visit in 2018.
I would like to try the one you just finished for your brother. It came out so nice and I'm sure it means a lot to him.

I'm new to your blog, but have decided to do the Celtic Solstice mystery - already have my scraps lined up! Thanks for the chance to win.
Well now I will have to add another quilt to my "to make" list. Love the Scrap Crystal block and the quilt you made with it. I have made Star Gazing and Denim Rails so far. I love scrappy quilts! Thanks for all the great patterns! Rebecca reb@alaska.net
I love your scrappy block! Thanks for the chance to win.
Love all your patterns and you give the best directions on how to stitch them.
I've made scrappy happy, bricks and stones and sisters choice. And fourth of July. I love your entry of the scrappy stars. May be my next project. I just started easy street.
I am doing the spider web.
I love your blog and facebook. I have made your Easy Street quilt and can not wait for the new Celtic Solstice to start. I love your quilts and am going to have to pick up the new book when it comes out for the wonderful quilt you made with your block. Congrats on having been in the magazine for 7 issues.
Oh, Bonnie, you never do anything half way. I love it.
Great block Bonnie. Thank you for sharing the magazines with us as well as your creative genius.
Love your block~ I haven't made one of your patterns yet, but I do following the mysteries from start to finish!
I love the effect created with the star in the middle! Great block...I'll have to use it sometime. :)
Love the scrappy crystals block. Think I'm going to have to give it a go during my son's nap time!
Great block! Thanks for sharing. I haven't made any of your quilts, but I love scrappy stars!
I would love to win this! Thanks for the chance!
Great stashbuster block Bonnie! Pretty sure I should be making a few of those...
I love Blog week so many new designers and different blocks to discover.
I may one of the very few that hasn't made one of your quilts Bonnie but I see one in my future! Thanks for the chance to win!
I love star blocks and this is pretty! Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.
I love scrappy quilts and I'm planning on making your new mystery quilt :) This book is fabulous and would be fun to make dozens of quilts with!!
I guess my email would be first? tarihquilts@gmail.com
I am going to go back up in this post to check out a couple things. The Scrap User's System has my interest. I make almost exclusively scrap quilts, so this could be good.
Thank you for doing the give away!!
Bonnie,
I really like your Scrap Crystals block. I enjoy scrappy quilts and am working on Orca Bay.
Bonnie,
I really like your Scrap Crystals block. I enjoy scrappy quilts and am working on Orca Bay.
I enjoy your blog and follow it daily. As I am new to Quiltville I have not yet made one of your quilts...however the I Spy Four Patch is on my list of "to do" quilts for 2014. My grandson would just love to have one of these. Thanks for all of the inspiration you give us. Thanks for the opportunity to win the book. Looking forward to reading continued stories and annecdotes on Quiltville. jeaniemoore@gmail.com
Beautiful block.I haven´t made any of your quilts yet only some blocks.
I love your website and would love to win this! you rock. and so do 100 blocks.
Just had a weekend of using up scraps (mainly wadding), so totally up for scrappy stars in coordinated colours - random and I don't play well together! Thanks for sharing, yet again!
Wonderful scrappy blocks as usual! I would love to win a copy. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide to quilters!
I have not seen this book in the stores. I must be at the wrong store.... I would love to win this book.Love scraps and makeing quilts with them.. A new block design is always helpfu. Donna
Bonnie you have done it again. You have made volume number 8 a big success.My favorite pattern of yours is Smith Mountain Morning. I believe I will try your new Celtic pattern this year. I love a mystery quilt and always will. Thanks Bonnie for everything you do for us.
Love your block, have been saving my bonus triangles now I know how to use them. Started using your scrap saver system. Have done the easy street quilt, it is now quilted and on my bed. Lazy Sunday is done and ready to be quilted. Just finished a dancing 9 patch for a new grandbaby due in April. Have a wild and goosey quilt started. Can't wait for your next book to come out.
ajmtmm@ktis.net
I made the smokey mountain quilt two times because it was pretty fast to sew and had a great visual effect. I made them from old shirts and old bedlinen.
Beautiful! I can't wait to go through all my triangles. And my husband gives me a bad time about saving them! Ha!
Love, love, love this block and it comes along just when I was trying to figure out what to do with a couple shoe boxes full of bonus half square trianges!
I'm so glad I found your page. I love this scrappy star pattern. You do such nice work! I would love to own this book--thanks for sponsoring the giveaway!
So many of your quilts and ideas inspire me, it is difficult to choose a favorite. I love to work with fabric scraps. After I took your crumb workshop several years ago, my brown crumb quilt with Maverick stars won a " judge's choice" award in my sister's guild show and motivated several of the guild members to make scrap quilts.
You have out-done yourself with this one! Love your scrappy quilts so much because they are pieced quilts (my favorite!) and they are scrappy, which is the way a quilt should be!!
I save my bonus triangles too, but haven't sewn them into anything yet.
I just finished Pineapple Blossom in Cobalt blues. Thank you for everything that you do & give to the Quiltville fans. And Thank you for a chance to win a copy of Quiltmakers' latest
We all get sick. Disease name: Bonnie Hunter's virus ;) Now I collect shirts to sew pattern Virginia Bound. It will be my first quilt with your pattern. Second it Mountain Majestic. I love your ideas, because are cheap for me. Thanks for everything. roxelana@interia.pl (Aga Cieślińska from FB)
I have bought every on these magazines I just love them, Would love to win one
I love all of your scrappy blocks and this one is no exception! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have not made one of your quilts before but I am gearing up for the Celtic Solstice which begins soon! I have my colors but am floundering on the background, solid or scrappy. I already know you'll do scrappy. Thanks!
Hello from Missouri Miss Bonnie!! Love scraps! Hope a scrap lover wins!
I am hopelessly addicted to scrap quilting now.....thanks to you Bonnie! I would love to win Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 8. I would say Merry Christmas to myself!!
Bonnie,
I have not made very many quilts YET! I have kind of just started (3 years =now) and I have a lot of UFO's. Your CS quilt will be the first BH I do. I am so happy to be able to participate. Your designs are lovely and I thank you for all the things you do.
Jules
Awesome block-and I have lots of those half sq. triangles left from other projects just waiting to be used up! I have made a couple of your delectable mountains one and I know there was another and can't remember which one right now. They are fun and uses scraps-what's not to like, LOL
Ooh,I would be thrilled to "pieces" to win a copy of this!!! Thank you so much for this opportunity! - Myra McPeak
How do you choose a favorite? They are all favorites for different reasons! I just finished Orca Bay, working on Sister's Choice & Lazy Sunday, and patiently waiting for Celtic Solstice...I will certainly add this to my "list"!!! Of course I have been saving my bonus triangles, so I may be ahead of the game!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I love your Blog!!!!
I am finishing my scrappy trips... Started in your 2011 workshop...have to show it to you when you are here again in 2015!
You make me want to make things with triangles -- looks like fun!
I am new to quilting. Have 2 quilts completed 9 patch..and a pink blue ridge beauty..working on star gazer now for my daughter and hope to have done by christmas. I love all your designs! My biggest problem is picking which to do next!!
thanks for the chance to win this book. I love your block. my favorite of your quilts is Smith Mountain Morning. I hope to participate in your mystery quote this year celtic solstice.
I like these magazines and would be pleased to win the newest edition!!!
Greetings from Regina
Loving your blog and a chance to win 100 blocks.
Loving your blog and a chance to win 100 blocks.
Thank you for the chance to win. Scrap Crystals is a great block and love the way you carried out the block into the sashing. I have a pile of royal blues and yellows begging me to make this. I fall back on your Chunky Churndash pattern when I want a quilt fast. Sometimes making the blocks larger. Next on my list is Pineapple Blossom using reds as my background and waiting for the Mystery. Feel like that commercial, open open... but post, Post, POST. Thanks for all you do for us!
I've been a fan for years -- thanks for all you do. Would love to win.
Sadly, I have not made any of your quilts, but several of my friends have and I've always admired your work. So much so that I have started a bucket list of all the ones I plan to make.
As of yet, I have not made one of your quilts, but I do love the way you filet a man's shirt!!
Love this new block, and the whole quilt too! I'm ready to put my bowtie blocks together, also. Funny thing about scrappy... I never seem to make any progress in depleting my stash! Hope I live a LONG time! I'd love to win a new book!
I love all your quilts, but haven't made one yet. I've been cutting all my scraps up into the scrap users system, since August, and I'm about 90% done. Maybe I'll start with your Pfeffernusse.
I took your starstruck class when you visited the Evening Star Quilt Guild in Alabama several years ago. I would love to win a copy of the magazine.

Saving my hubby's shirts to make a scrappy quilt !!!

I'm so glad I asked you for some resources of blocks made with HSTs. they will come in handy with the bonus HSTs from my Swoon quilt. thanks for all you do!
reillyr2(at)hotmail(dot)com
One of my daughters usually gives me a copy of The 100 Blocks but it would be awesome to win one. I dont believe I have ever made one of your quilts but I am going to have to take some time and look at the stuff you have on your blog.
What a great way to use all those little scraps!
Hey Bonnie! My cruise quilt (from 2011.....yikes!) is now in the quilting queue! Finally! I'll send you a pic when it's finished! Big hugs!
Another winning block! I have admired your quilts ever since starting to quilt several years ago. You never fail to amaze me.
my dear friend and quilting sister and I have just finished a friendship challenge of your sisters choice quilt. It was a joy to make totally scrappy, we consider ourselves "Bonnie Groupies" lol. I would love to win this book so we can share more scrapiness with each other. Keep up the great work...
I have made your box star for a lap quilt for a friend in hospital. I like everything scrappy.
I would be thrilled to win the book with your signature as I love your blog.
Hi Bonnie,
I JUST finished a table topper using some old xmas fabric scraps and your Sister's Choice pattern. I loved how quickly it came together since everything was the same size.
- sartibani@mac.com
I just finished my Lazy Sunday top! Those pieced borders were a challenge, but so worth it! I love Scrappy Crystals.
Love the Scrap Saver System! I made Sisters Choice earlier this year using shirts that belonged to my father(who is no longer with us). That made a huge quilt!! I have lots of bonus triangles left over from it and this new block looks like a good place to start using them. Would love to win the magazine so I could have the pattern.
Treadles and scrap quilts just seem to go together. Long live the old sewing machines, they just keep on stitchin'
kaylace
I have made quite a few of your quilts. I think Easy Street is my favorite so far. That is until this mystery quilt!
I just figured out what I'm going to do with all my 1/2 squares!! Love the Scrappy Crystals block! Mine will be more scrappy and I'd love to have a copy of the new 100 block magazine. Thank you!
Bonnie, this block talks to me. I just love it.
I made your Ohio Stars and Rails Quilt. It looks complicated but it went together so easy. You have taught me to go scrappy. Thanks for the chance to win this new book.
I love the scrappy quilts. I have enjoyed starting to work with leaders and enders. I haven't made it yet, but really like your Jared Take a Wife pattern. I do like this new block and the options of very scrappy or more two color and a neutral. Thanks for all you share with us!
I love your quilt block.....it looks nicer on your blog than in the magazine....great job with the colors...Thank you for the chance to win and I love what you write every day...Look forward to it to start my day....
I love how your quilt came out using the greens and blues! It's gorgeous! I am new to quilting but so far scrappy quilts are my favorite.
NyRoraback@gmail.com
I only found you with the second mysterie, so I didn't do the first. A few years ago I skipped Orka Bay but I had sooo much regrets and love your quilts so much, that I decided no matter what, I am joining every year now! One of the quilts most used it the double delight and I really love the Orange Crush for the colours I used and the fabrics...
I did last years mysterie with a FQ-bundle, which was great... and I chose red, purple, blue and green for the new mysterie and it is going to be really, really scrappy...
test
Doing the whole blog hop now! so many awesome blocks. I'm glad you shared this morning!
I follow your blog daily and love all you do for us quilters. I have made several of your quilts and don't really have one single favorite as I love them all. Because of you, I have turned many of my friends on to using up their scraps and if my friends don't want to use them, I ask that they pass them on to me. I love this new block and can't wait to get the directions for it. (sue@asdfwordpro.com)
Love your Scrap Crystal block.....will be looking forward to your new book!!
Made last years mystery quilt and I'm looking forward to this years
Your pineapple blossom is my favorite pattern.
My name is Adrianne and this is the first time I've been to your site, but I love what I've seen! I'll be bookmarking this one for sure! And it's good to know that even more experienced quilters don't always get their blocks 'lined up.' I feel a little bit better now! I made 1 quilt 20 years ago (a quilt as you go) but, never sewed another stitch after that. I've 'picked up the needle' again recently and am having a BLAST! Loving technology and being able to 'pick the brains' of other quilters! I do NOT however, understand how this particular way of posting replies works, so I hope this does ....
Hi Bonnie,
I'm new to your patterns and the mystery quilt will be my first. I can guarantee you that it won't be my last though. Have several ideas in mind, just anxiously awaiting to start. Thanks for all you do!
I just love this block and the idea of using up scraps is great! I love scrappy too!
Thank you Bonnie- Great as always block
Made two Scrappy Mountain Majesty quilts.
Now I am getting ready for your mystery quilt.
Never bought a 100 blocks magazine, but would love to
have one.

I missed your class (due to illness) in Monroe, LA this summer, but I am a faithful follower and scrap addict.You are with me everyday via computer, and I can hardly contain myself waiting for Celtic Solstice to begin. I'm actually going to try inklingo for the first time on that quilt. Happy travels!
New to your blog, and loving it!
Look forward to all your Facebook and blog postings. You are an inspiration! Thanks for the chance to win
I am fairly new to the scrap user system but I've already got a TON of bonus triangles ready to use! I am gradually adding the quiltmaker 100 block magazines to my library and they are a huge inspiration. Can't wait to see no8!

I love scrappy quilts and am one of your loyal fans. Your block does not disappoint and would make a lovely quilt. I have wondered if I love scrappy so much because that is what I grew up with. We are using a scrappy Jacob's Ladder quilt that my mother made for our bedspread. You have gotten me saving scraps in a different way which I think is going to be very useful, and I am saving crumbs now instead of throwing them away. Thanks for all your wonderful work. Would love to be in one of your classes some time
I am very new to patchwork but am so inspired by your leader and lenders book.When I have got going I am planning a big cutting up squares session ready to start!!

Gorgeous block and love how it looks in green.

Holy moly!! Over 700 comments already! I've made four quilts using your patterns and am working on two more, using your "scrap saver" method and men's shirts (that I have cut apart) --- and I love them all. Never enough time to do all that I want --- but it sure beats being bored!
I made your dancing nine patch. Most of the nine patches were leader enders. I donated the quilt to a Dakota Indian mission. The woman who received it was hugging the quilt and smiling in the photo they sent yo me.
I started quilting earlier this year so I haven't tried one of your designs yet. Hoping to win the book.
Love the look of this quilt Bonnie! Definitely going to be one on my "to do" list............as soon as I get the rest of my UFOs done!
Thank you for all the work you put into your quilts. We love them and appreciate you. I don't mind the word verification -- anything to help you devote more time to quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am a faithful follower of your blog and quilt cam. Hard to pick one "favorite" of your quilts. I love them all!
I love scrappy quilts. The only mystery from you I've done is Easy Street, and I love it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Great to see a new 100 blocks, love each and every one!
I love your block pattern and the full quilt too! I would love to win this issue of 100 Blocks.
Great to see another issue, love each and every one!
I love your patterns. I've made bricks and stones, fourth of July, scrappy happy houses
Sister's choice and just started on easy street.
Would love to win this book
I love this idea to use up the triangles, I can't waste them.
Love the quilt. I couldn't quite find the love for the very scrappy block.
I love your patterns. Currently working on a couple of different ones including your last leader/ender. Will be working with you Jan. 3 in Plano. Very excited to see you then.
I love your patterns. I even have a friend who is giving me all her scraps so I have a great variety now. I would love to win this book.
I love the quilt you made and the block. I have never made one of your quilts though.
Once you have been Bonnie-fied you become a Quiltvillian for-evah! I love those stars and the color combination.
Hi Bonnie, I discovered you earlier this year and have since made Scrappy Bargello, Jamestown Landing, Rick Rack Nines and Lazy Sunday. Basket Weave Strings is ready to be assembled and Easy Street is being pieced. Have fabric chosen for Celtic Solstice. It's been a fun year! Thank you so very much. Will see you in Mineloa, TX in October.
I am making and saving bonus half square triangle for a future quilt.
I love your patterns and would love to win this book.
I've been a fan since your SC days when I stumbled on your site googling mountain quilts. I've made Scrappy Majestic Mountains three times and would love to win the 100 Blocks.
Thanks for all you do.

I really enjoy following you on Facebook and the Quilt Cam. As a new quilter I would be thrilled to win.
I've not made one of your quilts before, but i'm all ready for the celtic solstice- and SO EXCITED!!! my e-mail djcap8 at frontiernet dot net
I am new to your site and new to quilting. Can't wait to give some of your ideas a try and watch some of your UTube videos.

Thanks for the chance to win! I really enjoy reading about all you do and look forward to meeting you in 2014 when you visit our guild.
I've never made one of your quilts--yet--but I do LOVE scrappy quilts. This block delights because of the star-in-stars. Sweet!
Wonderful block! Such a great way to use those scraps.
I have done two mysteries...roll, roll cotton boll and easy street. I learned a lot doing both. I love seeing how others interpret your design with their own fabrics and colors. I have learned so much from you since I first found scraps and shirt tails...especially how to manage my stash and scraps, how go experiment with color and pattern, and especially that I don't have to be a fabric "snob" to make beautiful quilts.
Hi Bonnie,would love seeing ur block published.Have all it books & have adopted the leader & ender concept. Thanks
It's amazing what a bunch of scraps can do in creating a masterpiece block or a whole quilt at that, your quilts are beautiful...:)
I love my Easy Street and would love to be entered in the new giveaway. My email is morgan2p@telus.net
I am a new quilter, so haven't made one of your quilts yet, but it didn't take me long to find your website and I love your style of quilting.
I am new to quilting. I love watching you on quilt cam. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. mfarner1423@embarqmail.com
Your Scrap Saver System rocks!! Love it... Recently finished Sisters Choice (minus the binding - bigggg quilt). Had lots of bonus triangles and look forward to using them in this new block (if I win the magazine so I have the pattern). Thanks for all you do for us quilters. You're the best!
Would love to win. See you in December in Plano.
hi Bonnie since joining your blog I have enjoyed putting my scraps in to the scrap user system and making several of your quilts I would love the opportunity to win one of the hundred quilt block books. I have heard that once you go Scrappy you never go back and I'm sure that will hold true for me. I was in a rut of never being able to put scraps together and yet I love the scrappy look so I was very glad when I found your blog you are truly a gifted person thank you for sharing your gift with all of us.
I would love to receive this new book!! I am very new to quilting but I have been following your blog now for several months and just love everything that you do and have learned a lot already. Thank you for all the inspiration that I receive each time I read what you have going on.
Love these magazines and the chance to win a copy. They're almost impossible to find where I live.
I love scrappy quilts too! Can't wait for your mystery!
what a pretty block. Hope I win!
