100 Blocks Vol 8 Blog Tour!!

myblockisin8_200
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:

scrapcrystals1 (1)

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:

scrapcrystals1

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:

scrapcrystals2

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! 

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 8 from me…and one winner will have it shipped to them directly from Quiltmaker!
 
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.

Thanks for all the inspiration! di_caughill at hotmail dot com

Love your block and would love to win a magazine too. If I don't, I'll be buying one instead to add to to my Quiltmaker 100 Blocks collection. Have them all!!! I have been following your blog for years and really enjoy reading about all your travels. My Orca Bay quilt was made in purples and green and I just love it! Thanks for the chance to win.

Unknown said...

I am one of your followers and wake up every morning and check facebook to see your next post. I have made Orca Bay, Easy Street and still working on Lazy Sunday. My favorite Quilt would have to be the Lazy Sunday, I got to work on it with my mother. I would get phone calls asking how to do each step. It was great working on it with her. I am now trying to talk her into doing the new mystery as well!!!! Thank you so much for the giveaway.

skrazo said...

I like both the scrappy & the color themed block.

Making one of your quilts is on my bucket list. I love your scrappy ideas very much.

angel parker said...

I thought I posted a comment earlier, but, did not see it. Thank you for allowing me the chance to win the book. Sincerely, Angel

Quilters' Quarters said...

More than 800 comments! I'm lucky if I get one or two on my blog every few posts! But I can see why - you share wonderful blocks with all of us. I'm a fairly new follower, sent here by a woman whose husband is a fellow writer at FanStory.com. I don't know her name, as we all write with pseudonyms there, but her husband's first name is Bob ... bet that doesn't narrow it down much, does it? :) Thanks for doing the giveaway ... long odds but always worth a shot at getting a free quilt book.

moonstar said...

I tried earlier from my phone to post, but as always it didn't work. Bonnie thank you for sharing so much information with us, and all of the pictures of your travels as you pass your knowledge on to those all over the country/world. You have helped me out a few times with finding fabric and with a treadle that I rescued. I read your blogs every time you post. Again THANK YOU for what you share with all of us.

Ptquilter said...

Cute, cute block. I'd really like to win one of these issues.

Unknown said...

I am working on your Texas Braid. I add fabric from my projects as I work on them, some quilts and some projects for my grandchildren. I made a block similar to yours for my sons baby quilt 36 years ago. The blocks were 9 inches hand pieces and hand quilted. Lindasquilting@yahoo.com

robin speck aka rscottsdale1@yahoo.com said...

I had the pleasure of listening to you lecture at a local (northern va) guild. You are so fantastic, that I will see you in the spring at smith mt. va! and I cannot wait! I am just getting up my courage to try your new mystery quilt at the end of this month! It takes courage for me to do things like that! Good luck and thanks for all you do. (new blocks are an inspiration, even if I just try one or two... now tell me what to do with all these 'orphan blocks!"

sewnsew said...

I love Quiltville! Great blog, great patterns and tutorials, lots of wonderful info, love quiltcam and so many wonderful ideas. I love scrap quilting! My very first quilt was a table topper trip around the world, after that I was hooked. I'd love to win the newest edition of 100 blocks!

quilter said...

Nice giveaway, thanks

simplestitchesbysp said...

Thanks for the chance to win!! I just love using the scrap saver method!! Was at a quilt retreat this past weekend and made three small wall hangings just from the scrap table. Took longer than having those pieces all cut and ready in their little (ok not so little) totes.

cmjbbja@aol.com said...

I have made several of your quilts. Sisters Choice (is my favorite as there are so many memories) as a block exchange with my sisters, my mother and her sister. Scrappy Mountains(I was in your class), Orca Bay, Roll, Roll Cotton Boll, Easy Street, Maverick Stars(was a baby quilt) and most recently Ocean Waves. My piecing has totally transformed with leaders & enders.

CyndyK said...

You are such an inspiration! I follow your blog and will be participating in the Celtic Solstice mystery. Keep up the good work. cknapp3626@sbcglobal.net

Meg E. said...

Hi Bonnie!
Love the quilt block and the quilt!
I have made Orca Bay and Easy Street mystery quilts and loved them both. Quilting has been on hold lately in my life as I finish the last semester of college doing my student teaching. My machine and scraps are waiting patiently for me to come back and play with them after December 14. I would love to have a new book of patterns to play with too!
thanks for all you do.
Meg in snowy Michigan

Oi Bonnie, obrigada por me aceitar no grupo! Tenho olhado o seu blog e estou adorando seus trabalhos. Mas ainda estou começando a fazer trabalhos com retalhos e tenho adorado os blocos que você tem postado. Estou começando agora nesta arte, pois fazia muito trabalhos em madeira e ponto cruz e adoro todo tipo de artesanato. Quando eu fiz o primeiro trabalho eu fiz um projeto da Annie e adorei, agora estou com uma professora e estou amando e assim que fizer o primeiro trabalho eu posto para você ver e me dizer o que achou. Parabéns pelos lindos trabalhos

Edie said...

I am currently working on 3 leaders and enders. Thank you Bonnie for all your hard work.

Pat said...

I would love one of the books! My favorite is not a quilt, but rather a class I took with you at a church Near Philadelphia. We made wonky stars and free-hand letters. Not only was it fun, but it liberated my good friend (Nancy) and sent her off into a world of wild color, crazy piecing and all kinds of new quilting adventures.

Unknown said...

I like this scrappy block made into the full size quilt.

Man for all seasons said...

Would love to win this magazine - do I get an extra lifetime to make all the quilts?

Sherri said...

YEARS ago, I taught a group of beginner quilters, using your Scrappy Mountain Majesties. (I emailed you for permission btw) That was back in California. Then recently I meet you in person in North Little Rock, Arkansas I think, at QUEST quilters? I wish I could have stayed for the workshop!
I AM planning on trying the Celtic Solstice quilt project to. I guess I LIKE your stuff! lol
Thanks for having such a fun give-a-way and don't worry about having to do the verification for commenting thing. This blog stuff is a LOT of work! hugs and thanks!

Judi Vian said...

I am fond of many of your quilts but particularly like the blue and green one above. I only discovered you a few weeks ago. Look forward to making one of your quilts with my daughter, perhaps this winter.

I pieced my first quilt top in September of 2012. I am totally addicted. I have pieced and quilted(by machine) 7 quilts since that time(four of these were lap quilts). I found your blog about a month ago and have already watched all the archived quilt cams. I finally got to see one partially live. I subscribed so that I can be notified when you will have the next one. I read your directions on the leaders and enders and am so excited about doing that. I am working on a quilt for my daughter for Christmas and started making leaders and enders. I already have quit a few. I can't wait to make a scrappy quilt using one of your patterns. Haven't decided which one, will depend on what kind of bonus squares I end up with. Thank you for sharing your quilting life with all of us. I think that I am in love with scrappy now. I would love to win the 100 block addition. Have a great week and hope that I will be able to join the next quilt cam. thank you for sharing all of your creative genius. beckyaddis@yahoo.com

I have all my fabrics assembled ready for my first mystery with you coming up on the 29th. Can't wait for that first clue. Have started doing the leaders and enders technique already while I am sewing other blocks. Great idea! Would love to win the book!!!

I'm looking forward to the mystery quilt ,I have never done one before. I have decided to make the quilt you made for your brother, I'm sure I will be making others as well. Thanks for your patterns and time you put in on the cam. :)

Thanks for the chance to win the magazine. I love scrappy quilts more than anything and used your directions to make the Scrappy Trip quilt. I just started following you on FB last year. And now I am following your blog so I am looking forward to seeing more of your quilts. Thanks again.

I'm a scrapper too.

I have used your tutorials for inspiration for scrap quilts.
I love designs and blocks that can be changed to make a whole new design.

Love the block! Thanks for a chance to win and thanks for all you do for us! So far I made a king size Chunky Churndash and I'm making a Happily Scrappily Irish Chain as a leader/ender project. I might just have to join in the Celtic Solstice fun too! :)

Bonnie you just keep coming up with beautiful quilts. I made your pineapple blossom quilt in king for my mom for Christmas. I faithfully check your blog early morning and evening. Following your blog and watching quilt cam makes me feel like I belong to a really large quilt group and I love it. Thanks for all you do for us quilters.

Barbara said...

I love your block, scrappy always catches my eye. Thanks! B

Leanne Parsons said...

I'm working on my first leaders and enders project...4 patches for now. I love seeing the blocks build up while I'm working on other things. I love your scrappy block, and the quilt. Thanks for the giveaway.

Judy1522 said...

I have not made one of your quilts before but I definitely would like to make this block as I have been saving all my bonus triangles and this would be perfect for them.

Kerrie said...

Recently stumbled across your blog and I'm hooked! I've never participated in a mystery quilt before and can't wait till Nov 29. Paint chips have been picked up and the stash sorted through. I'm ready to follow along. Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of the magazine.

Cat said...

Your block is wonderful as always. I haven't found anything that you have done that I don't like. My bucket list of quilts to make is way over 75% of your patterns. Right now I am working on 3 different ones and everytime I look on your site I find more. I hope I live a very long time.

Anonymous said...

I have made a couple traditional patterns that I found on your site, my favorite being Depression Block. I intend to make a quilt of it someday, but have so many more colors than neutrals. I LOVE your leaders-and-enders principle and using bonus triangles. clairealex @ gmail . com

Cathy Tomm said...

I love your quilts. One of my favourites that I have made is a Lime Green Star Struck, I started it two years ago while waiting for your Orca Bay to get under way.

Carla A Few Of My Favorite Things said...

My first scrap quilt was a double Irish chain. I used your instructions and it came together beautifully. I love all you do to promote quilting and your common sense approach. Thanks for quilt cam too, it is so nice to sew along with you.

Sandhya Karandikar said...

I love your patterns as I can use up my tailoring scraps to which I have access. I will try and make this block for my BOM which I am doing for my self. Thank you.

Ronna said...

I thought I commented early this morning but I didn't get the spam killer..so now I'm not sure. My first BH quilt was Easy Street..then I made a baby Smith Mountain Morning, a full Virginia Bound, Cactus Punch and started cutting out pieces for Star Gazing last night. My goal is to use my kids clothes that I have been saving in each quilt and shop my stash. I hope by the time all of this adventure is over..everyone has a quilt with memories and I have an empty stash. Or close to it. =) thanks Bonnie!

Just love all your scrap quilts and have made 3 already and I am fairly new at your blog. Can't thank you enough for your well written patterns and your help with color selection. This gives newer quilters confidence to try your patterns. Can't wait to see the new Block Book. Marilyn bsholtis@sc.rr.com

Unknown said...

I have just received your first two books and am thrilled with them - as is my husband. We are really looking forward to working on your mystery quilt this year as well. Thank you so much for all you do for us quilters!

patriciasews101 said...

I just love these books and even more now that EQ is adding them. You have really inspired me to get to work and to be more efficient about it. You are an awesome asset to our quilting world and sisterhood. I am working on the boxy stars and love it. It will be a gift for a dear friend that is moving away. Hugs and thank you so much for all that you do :)

Flo said...

Thanks
