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.

I'm thinking brights against a pretty sky blue, just like the pinwheels that I played with as a child!
I trust your choice of colors! Though I do have a lot of orange scraps, and the twirl might look a bit like California poppies, wouldn't that be nice?!
Great block and you chose neat colors. I think I would try autumn hues, like golds, browns and creams.

Oh, green and purple! Prettiest quilt I have ever seen was those two colors. That quilter really opened my eyes to all the possibilities when I was a brand new quilter. I will always be grateful to Miss Lois for showing me that quilt!

This quilt would totally rock a 4th of July quilt or warrior quilt in red whites and blue.
Love the work you do, oh I so hope to be as talented some day!!
What a fun block, Bonnie. It could be fun in so many colors. Maybe I would make it in yellows/pinks/peaches and greys. Thanks for offering the magazine.
Thank you for the possibility to win this magazine. I could imagine this block in browns and turquoises. And, of course, some neutrals. It would look great.
love love your block. Am working on a necktie quilt, hope to get it done soon. Wantiing to do a different one now, so back to sewing. The magazine would help to decide a new one, thanks for the chance.
Love you block! I think I would use a turquoise & purple & maybe a black. Would love to get a copy.

I am thinking golds and greens.
Sue.quilts at Verizon.net
Well, Bonnie, I would make my blocks in blues and browns. Since I have so many blues and browns in my stash, that would be a great reason to actually use my stash AND I have been making so many bright quilts lately that it would be nice to have a calmer one to quilt for a change. Thanks for the chance to win!
Beautiful count me in. would love to win the magazine.
I'd use purples & greens & cream as an accent color. Thank you!

Hi! Three colors. Ok deep teal, a lighter teal or Aqua and then a cream low volume print. Thank you, Bonnie!
Hi Bonny. Lovely blocks. I would choose orange instead of pink, leave the greens as they are, but consider using a dark background.
Thank you Bonnie for all your wonderful ideas. I'd choose purple and orange for my blocks. Thanks for the giveaway!
Love the block and the colors. Would love to win a copy of the magazine so I can try this myself. Thanks for all you do.

The colors you used are gorgeous. I think I would use some combination of brights in the pink, purple and aqua ranges. Will have to try some bright greens soon, I guess.
Hi Bonnie,
Thanks for a chance at a giveaway. I have been wanting to make a civil war quilt in pinks and brown. That would be my choice with Bonnie - style neutrals.
Take care,
Dianne
I'm thinking black/white/brights!
love what you do, and apparently so do a LOT of other of your blog friends! Looking forward to receiving my copy of Quiltmaker Magazine, if I win. Thanks from two quilters who keep watching your old videos, and learning something nearly every time. Mrs and her student, Mr Quilter in NE Oregon
Please count me in!

Hi Bonnie -
I would love to use yellows, pinks, and greens in these blocks with a light background. I, too, am considering subscribing to Quiltmaker and learned about it through your blog. I have purchased some single issues and luckily found a pattern for your Garlic Knot (I think that was it) block that I incorporated into a project this past summer. Love your energy and passion.

Very pretty block!! I would probably use the colours that I have left over from the Grand Illusion project. The pretty green and pink shout "Spring" :)
