Circles Circles and MORE Circles!
The March/April 2014 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine is hitting newsstands and mail boxes near you!
There is a ton of good stuff in here, as always ---Quiltmaker Magazine is one of the best deals out there as far as pattern value goes – and these are GREAT patterns!
I’m always tickled to see which of the blocks I have sent in for my Addicted to Scraps column makes which issue….I send them all in in August, and then the design team decides which one fits which issue best….and when these packages show up in my mail box, it’s a quick grab of a cuppa tea, feet up in a comfy chair and a good browse, cover to cover!
This month’s Addicted to Scraps column block is a traditional one – but if you are looking for a new leader & ender project, this might just suit it!
It also might work perfectly for any red & white quilt you are dreaming of!
Flagstones!
This simple little 9-Patch and Snowball combo has been known by many names, and was called Flagstones by the Ladies Art Circle back in the day. It has also been called Aunt Patsy’s Pet ((Doesn’t that make you wonder about who Aunt Patsy was?!)) Dutch Mill, Federal Chain, Pullman Puzzle and Snowball.
The design team at Quiltmaker has come up with this fun layout for a multicolored scrap quilt:
CUTE!!

Loving your website, FB and QuiltCams. Keep up the good work. Started a L&E project when creating CS mystery. Now that L&E will continue with a WIP quilt.
Oh my, this block will feed my scrappy quilt fever!
have a great time in Phoenix. We got a little snow up here in the White Mountains of AZ but nothing like you did back east. Like that block. Nine patch is one of my favorites.

Good Morning Bonnie. First I like to say thank you for your comment in Quiltville facebook page.

Love the issue. I always look for your posts. Thanks! jane_martyn@hotmail.com
What a great giveaway! I love snowball blocks. One of the first blocks I made when I first started quilting. I used up a lot of 3" squares making snowball blocks for charity quilts.
Have a happy sewing day!
I've never made a snowball block before, but this one looks like a lot of fun. My subscription renewal got overlooked so I would love to win this copy. I need to take care of ithat right now while I'm thinking about it.
I love Quiltmaker! I have every issue for several years. I would like to win this giveaway to share with a quilting buddy. Can't wait to see the new issue!
Would love to win this magazine, the scrappy pattern looks fun. Thank you for your endless energy!
Another great block, Bonnie! I have a huge collection of 9 patch blocks from swaps years ago. I'm going to have to try this.
Would love to check this out!
I would love to win a copy of Quiltmaker! A couple of quilt shows ago, my guild, the Chatham-Kent Quilter's Guild, made a nine patch for our raffle quilt. We had a night where everybody sewed nine patches together, and then these were made into a beautifully set 9 patch. I have been hooked on them ever since!!!
Congratulations on being published in another magazine. Beautiful block. Have fun in Arizona!

I love it! Another awesome idea.
I love to win a copy of the magazine. I am a double knit crazy quilter from 40 years ago who set aside quilting for raising a large farm family. Children have left the nest and I want to get into making some beautiful cotton scrap quilts. Edna eddielouwho@ruraltel.net
Would love to win this magazine. Love your quilts and quilt cam. I am in the process of organizing my scraps.
Thanks for the chance to win Quiltmaker magazine! I spent last evening sewing Split 9-patch blocks (started as a leader/ender) and then switched to Bricks and Stepping Stones when I ran out of cut 2 1/2" light patches. Sewed all the B/SS halves together, then realized I had sewn 18 of them wrong! Whoops, looks like Jack and I will be spending a little time together...
Love it! I'm just a scrappy girl at heart! Count me in! Thanks
A Giveaway & Quilt Cam in the same week - WOOHOO!! Thanks for all you do!
Love this scrap buster! Have perfect items on hand to use! Thanks Bonnie!
Love your block and this magazine. Thanks for a chance to win a copy.
I also would like to win the Quiltmaker Magazine with this wonderful Quilt.

Many greetings

I love the rainbow of colors - no matter where you look, there is a new splash! And the directions are easy to follow.
Looks like a great magazine! The quilts look like good scrap busters. Thanks Bonnie!
What a fun block. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love this classic block, so many ways to change it up with your fabric selection. The white space lends itself to some pretty quilting too.

I'm ready for a new Leader/Ender project - WooHoo!
Bonnie ; you have outdone yourself again ! you are one creative lady ; and you share your talent with so many free tutorials :) thanks for giving me the chance to win this magazine ! You truly have inspired me to keep on learning quilts after a local person implied that I was doing it wrong ! thanks ! ( and boy do I have scraps from sewing many years ! )
Love the flagstone pattern. Bonnie, you might as well give in and make a red and white quilt. By, your posts I can tell it is embedded in your brain and must be released. lol
I would love a chance to win the magazine. I'm just putting borders on Celtic Solstice. It's my first mystery, and I loved it. Thanks Bonnie.

I have been catchin up on your old quilt cam's while working on my 1st string top. I enjoy the scrap stuff more than most other projects. Have been cutting clothes apart for years! Hope I can win as I'm grounded from spending for a few months since I overspent for xmas
I love your patterns and keep up with you on facebook. I plan to try and see you the next time you are in Hunstville, Tex. I live in Livingston which is less than an hour away from there.
Love the magazine. Thanks so much for sharing.
I would love a chance to win (it's always a bit iffy which American magazines you can get your hands on here in the Scottish Highlands!) Love your scrappy block! Have a great trip :-) Helen
Bonnie....just love Quiltmaker !
Always a good read !!
Love your articles and blocks, have a great trip!, would love to win since it's difficult to find quilting magazines here, thank you for the chance :)!!!
I would love to win this issue. Quiltmaker is a great magazine, but I can no longer subscribe.
Great looking issue. Would love to try that pattern.
Thanks for the chance! A nice block! Have a safe trip.
I love looking at and making quilts from magazines. Would love to have this issue. Love quilting.
Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for the give away and I am looking forward to Quiltcam on Thursday!
It's amazing to me that these blah little 4 patch squares when mixed with another small block and repeated make wonderful eye catching quilts. The sum is so much greater than the parts. I would love to win this issue. Thanks for all you do to show us what is possible.
Quiltmaker is a classic that's one of the original quilt magazines and gets better every year! I have all the early issues when it first came out! I would love to get it again!
I love Quiltmaker mag so much, I accidentally bought two copies of the Jan/Feb 2014 issue. Ooops! Luckily, my quilting group has a brand new member who is also new to quilting, so I was able to give my extra copy to her. Yea! And now I have a chance to win a copy of the newest issue? Double yea!
I have a huge amount of pre-cut 2.5" squares. This is even after I made a dancing nine patch and used over 720. Will need to figure out how to use your technique for making the cut off triangles to size when I do the snowball blocks. Then, I can use these to make a mini shattered glass quilt.
Another beautiful design! Thanks for the chance to be a winner.
Thanks for the giveaway, Bonnie. See ya Thursday. Just used a block of yours from Quiltmaker, turned out great.
Just started quilting in November (for two small Christmas gifts). Now I am addicted and hooked and have several projects in mind. Would love to win Quiltmaker magazine. writeright@sasktel.net
I've been needing a leaders and enders project for quite some time. I think this will do just the trick!!
Yes, I love the magazine!
Would love to try that circle quilt pattern on the cover.
Thank you for the chance to win.
This looks like a great block to use in marking quick charity quilts. I'm always looking for something fast and easy. Thanks for all of your inspiration.
Love the block, thanks for the chance
Would love to win this issue!! Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm new to quilting, in fact I am still working on my first mystery quilt (Celtic Solstice). It's pretty scrappy and I love it. I didn't think I would get this addicted to quilting, but OH MY... Sure would like to have this magazine to keep my appetite going.
Would love to win a copy!!!!
I would love to win this magazine! Thank you for the giveaway! I am still chugging along on my 2 Celtic Solstice quilts, but am always open to starting new projects!
Thanks for all you share, this mag. would be a great addition to my collection. I am so enjoying making total scrap quilts.
Definitely my favorite magazine because it features YOU! You are also featured on my blog today :)
Those look really interesting.
Love Quiltmaker mag.
Love a chance to win. I'm a scrap addict too. Thanks. Sally, richter@wcta.net.
Love to read quilting magazines and dream of the day I have time to make them.
I'd love the magazine. I really like scrap quilting too!
I've been on a lucky streak, so why not me again? Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I'm still working on my Celtic Solstice and hope to finish soon. I love seeing all of the different interpretations--they are all beautiful.
That must be exciting to see your blocks come to life on a magazine page. thanks for the giveaway.
Great magazine…thanks for the chance :)
This block combo is wonderful. I would love to win an issue of the magazine, too. Just keep your great patterns coming, Bonnie!
Thanks for the chance to win Quiltmaker. I love the quilt on the front, BUT will definitely be making "Flagstones" because I'm sooo "addicted to scraps".

My husband 'forgot' to renew my subscription of Quiltmaker as a xmas present :( My next magazine will be the summer issue. So hoping to win :)
