Quiltmaker: Quilts From... is still on stands.

Remember this block from Volume 5 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks?

 

It was picked up for their, Quilts From 100 Blocks magazine and was released this Spring-March to be exact.  I saw that it is still on stands with a really fun way to change it up for the summer.  It isn't too late.
When you click on the link above, you will get a peek at what is inside.  Look for Watermelon Days.
Enjoy and see you at the next HOP!

I am in Quiltmaker!



Last week the Spring issue of Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks hit shelves and my Watermelon Days table runner is on page 68!

 

The original block is my Pinwheel Salute from Volume 5 and it really goes to show what changing the colors in a design can do!  This is a moment where I want everyone to think about doing something different vs. wanting the exact one that is on the pattern cover.  When you see a design you like but not the color scheme, change it up!

If you haven't paper pieced, give it a try!  A little patience and you have a new skill in your quilting arsenal that will bring you years of enjoyment.

Happy Quilting!

Volume 5 Has Arrived!!

I am honored to once again be included among today's top designers in the newest issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks.

                                                                 

Pinwheel Salute

For all the paper piece lovers out there, here is another versatile block to play with.  Pinwheel Salute is a great block that can be rearranged and / or changed to the colors of your heritage.

 

Here I have shown German and Irish for my heritage and the blocks are arranged differently as well.

This fun little quilt uses 8 copies of the template in the magazine.  Then add 4, 6-1/2" x 12-1/2" border strips.

The quilting was done with a star stencil, quilting wiggly lines along the paper piece seams, and tracing straight lines into the border strips.  It was quilted with a variegated Red/White/Blue thread for more POP.

It finishes at 24-1/2" square and there is still plenty of time to get one done for Memorial Day or 4th of July;)

Now that you are here, don't forget to leave a comment, including your email address, for a chance to win a FREE copy of the new magazine. 

I will draw a winner on Friday, May 4th.
