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.

Love the pink and lime green but I have wanted to make a pink and chocolate brown quilt for a long time.
I love the block. I would probably use batiks. I'm a batik nut and any color works for me. I like all colors, so it would probably be scrappy with a wide range of colors. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine.
I think they would be pretty in pink, red and cream
I would love to make this in cream, tan/brown and teal. Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway. Love your site and your scrap system.

Thanks for the give-away, Bonnie! I'd choose clear pastels, all colors in the rainbow, with white background. I'm enjoying the fresh prints in such happy colors! Cherry Boom / Pauline in North East, PA
What colors.... I'm kind of stuck on indigo & tans/Browns right now but I'm thinking your colors would be great for my newest granddaughter. Decisions, decisions!! My name is Kim Becker & email is kfb1977@yahoo.com. Thank you for everything that you do for your followers!
Nice block! I would use fabrics by Fig Tree or dig through my stash for soft coral/peach/turquoise colors.
The spinning effect of the blocks reminds me of the 4th of July so I would choose red, white and blue with a little yellow for the amber waves and a little purple for the majestic mountains!
I think purple and turquoise, or red, white, and blue.
bettyharden@charter.net

Love the color combination in your pinwheels. And would love the chance to win a copy of Quiltmaker. I need some new ideas for spring sewing. Thanks for the opportunity and all your great ideas.
I would use limes, purples and cream or teals, purples and cream. But then again blue, corals and cream would be pretty too.
I'd like to mine in 30's fabrics.
Like the motion suggested by the block. Can always find ideas from your designs.
I'd try red, white and blue and make it patriotic!
Blue, cream, and brown/orange

mmsmiles@sc.rr.com
I used the same colors as you did. I had some of that bright green on hand with no previous idea of what to do with it. I sashed the blocks with white and added little pinwheels as sashing squares. I love it. Thank you so much.

I am loving the pink & green combination. So pretty. But a dark purple and soft green would be great too.
Shellie @ quiltingbean1@msn.com
Hi Bonnie,

Shellie @ quiltingbean1@msn.com
Fun design as usual. I'm picturing it with blues and oranges - and whites! Thanks for the chance!
Looking forward to your reveal. I would definitely choose bright maybe a different color for each block combined with a color common to all the blocks.
Discovered your blog for the Grand Illusion. Loved it! And can't wait to start the quilt! We went to Mackinac Island this summer. When I finish the quilt it will be a great reminder. Thank you for your designs. They have been an inspiration to really use up that closet full of stash... scraps... pieces....
Thanks for another great giveaway, Bonnie. I would choose either red and green using Christmas fabric or purple and gold (LSU colors). While watching QuiltCam tonight I was cutting strips to add to my Scrap Users System following your guidelines. Love your system. Thank you for your generosity to all quilters.

I was thinking navy, vibrant green, and white/ecru. Think Vancouver Canucks colors, my son's favorite team. He's getting married this year and that would make a perfect wedding quilt!
