I'm so excited to share that I have a block in
Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 6! I've never been in this publication, so I was so flattered to be invited to submit a block, and to have it accepted! This is the latest issue in the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks series and should be hitting news stands on November 14th.
(You can pre-order copies Here).
This is my little block ~ It's called Sunrise (It's block #598). This version is made with the
Kate's Garden fabric line designed by Kate Knight for Quilting Treasures fabric company.
Here is an easy design layout idea using nine blocks, and setting them together in three rows of three. I like the "motion" that setting these blocks together creates. You get a kind of pinwheel secondary block by setting them together.
...And here is the same setting just with adding sashings between the blocks ~ bright and fun :)
Come back tomorrow, and I'll show you the same block in another colorway!
Until then, leave a comment on this post for a chance to win your own copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Vol. 6! I'll be picking two winners on Sunday, November 11th ~ one winner will receive an issue of the magazine from Quiltmaker, and one winner will receive a Spring Water Designs pattern pack from me :) Visit our
Spring Water Designs Website to see our current line of patterns.
Become a follower here on the blog, and join in on the fun on our
Facebook Page to keep up with all the upcoming news, announcements...
and the occasional Free Pattern :)
And be sure to follow the 100 Blocks Blog Tour daily November 5 - 9th at
The Quiltmaker Blog Quilty Pleasures for some wonderful inspiration from designers and lots of giveaways!
Enjoy the day!
