I am still unearthing myself out from under the huge stack of mail that has come in over the past couple weeks!
But this envelope I knew right away!
It’s the March/April 2015 issue of Quiltmaker Magazine – the issue that has my Twirl Around blocks for my Addicted to Scraps column!
I’ve been working on these blocks over the past couple of weeks – I have a plan for them!
And while there are things I can’t show online because they are going in as a future magazine project, or book project, or video project – THESE I CAN!!
My stack is growing!
I worked on these while at retreat at Quilt Villa this past week!
And now you can work on them too!
Each issue of Quiltmaker also includes a link to my Addicted to Scraps page on Quiltmaker.com!
You can also access the page for each block by clicking the block title under the Addicted to Scraps tab at the top of the blog! Clicking the title under the photo for the March/April Twirl Around block will take you HERE.
You will find sample layouts for quilts, or choose your own setting! The Quiltmaker Staff chose this one:
Great big spaces, perfect for quilting designs!
I have my own plans for this quilt –and you won’t see it until it is done. But nothing can stop you from stock piling blocks back in anticipation of a quilt I know you are going to want to make with me! This way it’s a half-mystery and you are going to love the reveal!
Pick up a copy of Quiltmaker and get started on your own Twirl Around blocks today!
I’m feeling in the mood for a Give-Away! Leave me a comment below telling me what colors you would choose for your own set of blocks!
I’ll be drawing for THREE lucky winners by random number generator on Sunday Evening.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 874 Newer› Newest»I love your block. I am about half finished with your Grand Illusions quilt and your colors helped me break out of my normal color box. For this block I think it would be pretty in the grey and yellows that I have been collecting.

I love your colours!
I'd use navy and green!
I'd go for warm colors - yellows, oranges and reds. I certainly buy enough of those to make this very scrappy. Wonder what would make a good contrast? Thanks for the opportunity, Bonnie. See you online tonight!
Turquise, grey and pink. Thanks for the oportunity to win😄
Like the colors you picked, but I think I need to use up some of my purple and pink stash. It's been multiplying for a long time. Thanks for the chance to win.

Love that block! I love the pinks and lime greens, so I would probably stay with that color scheme. The brighter, the better! Thanks for the chance to win.
Another lovely Bonnie block!! Fingers are crossed.
I'd love to use blues in the HSTs and bright yellows in the corner squares, then sash it with navy!
So many blocks, so little time! Love your colors. I'm a bit undecided so may change my mind once I see what I have, but I'm thinking blues and greens with the neutrals.

I would use shades of blue, but I really like the pink with the green.

I would use some of my blue and yellow scraps that don't seem to ever go away!
I'm doing this in paprika & not cheddar but cheetos oranges and yellow.
Gonna work on these during quiltcam tonight
I love the pink and green, but with different colour bonus-hst's from several projects, mine would have to be scrappy perhaps with a constant colour in the corners. Thank you for all you give to your fellow quilters from my heart. For me it is only bonnie-style quilts from now on!

Love your colors but think I would use earth tones. A newbie quilter here who joined your FB page just as the mystery quilt was being unveiled. Now I'm addicted to the Wild and Goosy blocks and have been making them from scraps and hand sewing. Even broke down and ordered a book and ruler. Looks like I am hooked. Thank you for all you do and give to the quilting community. (tanties@sympatico.ca)
Love your quilts. Would be great to win.
Thanks

Love this block! I would like to try black prints with red prints, yellow prints and green prints intermixed. Would be lots of fun. Thanks for this offer! love your website.
I'd like to try this block with some masculine colors - black, grey, and blue. When sorting my 2" strips by color, found that I have an abundance of blue ones. Have to use them up. Excited about quilt cam tonight and for the chance to win a copy of Quiltmaker!!
One can never go wrong with red/green/cream. Everyone can use a new Christmas quilt!
Thanks you bonnie for all you do for us quilters. I luv your colors so thats what i would use.
Always fun to read your posts! You are one busy lady! Please enter me in the giveaway, you are so kind! Maggie D.
Hello. My name is Brenda and I am now addicted to Bonnie's Blog (thanks to Louise and Jean!) Quite frankly, I have no intention of becoming un-addicted, so now I would love a copy of the magazine. My colours will be white and 2 shades of blue. I also like the idea of a Christmas quilt!
pronurse@richland.ca
Bonnie, you amaze me with your super FUN ideas for the cutest blocks and quilt patterns. I want to make each and every one of your patterns! This is another super cute idea for using scraps, and the chance to win the magazine is awesome! I have a little stash of turquoise prints that would be fun to use, maybe with some bright yellow!
Here in the Netherlands I would use the colors, beige, brown and turqoise. Thanks for the give away.
Greetings Dini

I would choose turquoise for the pinwheel and brown for the corners. Keep the neutrals. Love this block! jbivey83@gmail.com
Thanks for the chance to win - that apple green is my favorite color. Painted the peg board in my studio that color and LOVE IT!
I would choose purple and lime green. Love this block. Thanks for all you do!
Pink and Green would be my choice. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you so much for the giveaway....
I would probably go with yellows and blues because that seems to be what I have the most of at the moment. I do like your greens though. My sewing room is painted in a pale green... it cheers me every time I go into it.
djcogdill@q.com
Such a fun block! I think I'd like to try pink and aqua.
I love this block. I want to make them out of dark blues and pinks that are hot. I have tons of hot pinks left over from girls quilts. Love your blog.
Great block, I'm more aligned to less bright tones, so maybe blues, yellow golds, cream. Still over two weeks before I'm home and near my quilting room - I'm so lonely without them!
red white and blue
mavie_q@yahoo.com
I love your colors , pink and green. I think the colors are what first attracted me to the blocks.
I think this block would be lots of fun in patriotic colors. I have lots of red, white, and blue scraps!
I need something to inspire me to get sewing again. Quiltmaker or Quiltcam or both!!!
I think I would try to make it for a Christmas quilt. We don't have one for the living room so that would be a great project for next Christmas.

Glad you may it home.My spelling is not good, but I try. Would love to get the magazine, To do Wild Goose.
Lovely block Bonnie and such a pretty colourway - wonder what it would look like in teal green/peacock blue, terracotta and neutral - hmmmmmmmm
I love this block! It's just so sweet and fun. I have lots of purple and cream batik scraps. Maybe with a touch of teal? Thanks for all you do! I buy magazines if you are featured in them.
Would love to win a copy. Have lots of scraps from GI.
First of all thanks for the give-away. I've bee stopped in my tracks lately with cheddar and indigo. I'm thinking these would be fun to try in that combo. I think it'd be a different look. Can't wait to play around with some.
wow such a cool block. I would make mine in purples, teals and creams.
Welcome home and thanks for the giveaway.
Nancy Vance
envance@telus.net
I think I'd go with blues and grays for the block itself. Create 4-patch blocks similar to the Quiltmaker layout, with the solid fabrics being in dusty pink/mauve and sashing around the 4 blocks rather than around each block. Make it into a bed runner. Maybe matching pillow shams.
AndiRaeS at gmail dot com
I do Christmas all year long, so my colors are traditional red, green and white/gold
Would love to win a copy of Quiltmaker magazine. Thank you for the chance at a great win to have your pattern to play with.
Dejlige farver. jeg ville vælge lilla, grøn og rosa. Hilsen Birgith. DK

Love these little pinwheels! Can't wait to pick up the magazine.
I love purples of any kind but any of my scraps would look great. Thanks for sharing I had so much fun learning new things with GIMQ.
denisealpierce@aol.com
I would most likely use bright batiks with this block :) I'd love it if I received a free copy of the magazine!
I always like the look of purple and turquoise. Have not made a quilt with those colors.... yet.
I,m going to do pink and green also. Will match my oncoming spring mood?
As much as I like your lime green and pink blocks, I've currently got 2 WIPs in those colors. I think I would use yellow and black...
Thanks for a chance to win!
Now I have a good reason to shovel out the car--to get the March/April Quiltmaker. A quilt for GD Angela would have to be in orange, teal & cream but GD Robin would prefer purple, green (sage) & cream--decisions, decisions! Looking forward to seeing you 'live' tonight.

Welcome home Bonnie! Does the work ever end? Lol thanks for the chance to win the magazine. Don't work too hard. Curtnty@sympatico.ca

I'd have to go with red, white and blue, these blocks would make an amazing Quilt of Valor.
