Quiltmaker 100 Blocks - Volume 6
If you guessed that mine was the third row down, directly to the right of the text, you were correct!
You might have spied Veranda!
I made this block roughly the same time I made Bejeweled. I had yo-yos on my mind. Its called "All Buttoned Up" and I think it would also work well in black and white - like a little tuxedo!
I originally pictured this block running vertically down a lap-sized quilt. Wouldn't it be cute in a kid's room? I like it "sans borders".
Now for the giveaway! I have 2 Quiltmaker 100 Block Volume 6 magazines to give away, and each winner will get to choose three patterns of their choice from my pattern line! All you need to do is leave me a comment (just one) on this post telling me what size quilt is your favorite to make. And your favorite to buy patterns for if they are two different things. (There are those of us who are famous for biting off more than we can chew when we are looking at patterns and books or even fabric... ahem.) Do you like making lap-quilts, wall hangings, twin sized quilts, etc.? Please consider becoming a follower if you aren't already and you must leave me a way to contact you should you win. Deadline is this Friday (the 4th) at midnight.
For more chances to win please visit the other block designers who are participating in the giveaways today, as well as Quiltly Pleasures, Quiltmaker's blog.
Good luck and happy sewing!
Amanda

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 258 of 258
I love to make bed-size quilts, or at least ones that are large enough to snuggle under! The problem I have is getting them quilted! :)
Thanks for the chance to win! I was thinking your block would be cute in black & white!

Mostly lap quilts and wall hangings.
I like generous throws - probably 56x70ish, but I do a lot of "winging it" and don't always follow patterns, so they end up however big they end up. I don't like square quilts so much though. I have a lot of tall people in my family - so my quilts tend to be long.
Hi,
I like to make lap quilts, because I can quilt them on my machine.
I like making baby quilts best and I love patterns for bed size quilts! Yes, I am a collector of many books and printed patterns. Thanks for a great block :D
I usually make throw and crib size quilts. I need to make queens, but I seldom get them finishes.
I make mostly large throw size quilts, almost bed size really. When I want something to throw over I want it to go over me. Those tiny ones just don't do it.
Big big quilts. Congrads on the block!~!
I usually make twin/full size quilts but once I get my UFO's caught up, it will probably be lap quilts.
Thanks for the chance to win. Enjoyed your Blog.
My favorite size to make is the twin-sized quilt. I like to but patterns for wall hangings.

My favorite size quilt is about 40 x 60, which works for most children to which I donate through Project Linus.
I like your block! All buttoned up! And I usually make lap sized quilts, extra long, so that when you are lying under a quilt on the couch, your feet are covered. :-)
This block is sooo cute. I should be making a full sized quilt, but I really lean towards wall hangings, especially seasonal so I can use them as decor.

I'm really liking table runner size at the moment, it's easier to learn FMQ on something that small.
I like to make bed size quilts mostly. Thanks for the chance towin a copy of the magazine.
I'm a follower, and I love your block and would love to win the book! I like to make wall-hanging size quilts, lap quilts, etc....more on the smaller side rather than struggling with a large queen thru my machine.
Baby quilts, I make lots of them.
Thanks for the chance to win. And congrats on your happy block
mhinders@myclearwave.net
I see from the comments that most everyone likes lap-sized quilts and I agree. It's similar to a "real" quilt but small enough that the project isn't too intimidating.
I love making full sized quilts for my bed! awolk at rogers dot com
I like making wall size quilts but have made some twin size quilts too. I buy pattern in all sizes.
I almost always make "bed size" quilts, which in my case is queen size. I will buy a pattern any size and then add my own twist to it to make it larger.
dorisquiltingqueen@yahoo.com
I usually make queen-sized bed quilts. Your quilt is really interesting and looks like it would be fun to make.
I like to make bed sized or large throws. This year I have made lots of baby quilts though. Congratulations on being a cover-girl!
Such a cool block! My next project is a sofa quilt for my own family.
Oh I have mostly been making bed size quilts, but I'd like to make some ap size ones to take camping.
That block is as cute as can be with the yo yos. I make all sized quilts, but my favorite is lap sized, mostly because they make for easier quilting than big bed-sized quilts.
My favorite size? One that doesn't run off my design wall, which is three doors hinged together. So that means if it is much more than 72" high, it is sprawling on the floor. I do my own quilting, so anything bigger than that is difficult to work on for quilting. Patterns, I buy all sizes. Doesn't stop me.
Twin size is my favourite because I can easily quilt them on my machine. Thanks for a chance to win the magazine. And I love your block!
Sizes I make are mostly baby, or lap size - both manageable to quilt. I love the layout you've done for your block - I can't always "see" the extended pattern(s) for single blocks in my mind, and need the prompt. Yours is certainly one I'm putting on my list. Thankyou. Margaret
Love to make either lap or wall quilts. It depends on how the fabric or pattern inspires me!
I love your block! A really big size block would make a great side of a handbag :-)
I love to make wall hangings, because they are easy to handle when it comes to quilting. With my new embroidery machine, I must say that my favourite bought patterns lately are In-the-hoop projects.
Thanks!
I usually make queen size quilts, but look for patterns that have directions for various sizes.
I love making baby quilts and laptops so I can do freemotion quilting but love to do king and queen but I have to send them out.
my Favorite size to make is Queen size but I won't buy a pattern unless it has all the size options available just in case I want to make it again in a different size:)
I like to make lap quilts and wall hangings. I usually buy patterns for lap quilts.
I usually make lap quilts and wall hangings. If I'm buying a pattern, I want it to be a lap or bigger.
Very creative block. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite size is a lap quilt. My very first quilt I ever attempted was a king-sized quilt for our bed. What a mistake! It still is sitting in the closet....talk about biting off more than I could chew! Just signed up for your blog - it looks great!
I love your block! It is a must-make for me. I usually make quilts in the lap-twin range, but I get patterns for all sizes (and adjust as needed!).
I make baby or lap size - quick to make and easy to quilt. I generally buy magazines with patterns in them, and then adapt them to the size I need. Margaret
Jeepers - see I've made a previous comment - but this Post A Comment window kept popping up, so I thought I hadn't, and made the second one. Oops! Margaret
Love your block and patterns! I like making big quilts~ 80 x 80 or bigger, but i seem to buy more wall hanging patterns than I will ever use! Thanks for the fun!
I like to make cuddly lapsized quilts to snuggle under and for the kids. I love patterns that include instructions for all of the different sizes however. Wow, Amanda, you are giving away Volume 6 magazines? This is only the Volume 5 blog hop! You are good, girl. Thanks for the fun! :)
So far, my favorite size is crib-sized, 44x60. Okay, it's mostly because that's the most plentiful size I've done so far (my own kids and friends' kids. And it's still manageable quilting it with my small Bernina. That's 12, 12" blocks, 3x4, with 2" sashings all the way around. But, I'm in the middle of piecing a king-sized quilt for my king-sized bed!
Thanks for your cute girly patterns and a chance to win! I'm just getting into the Craftsy scene, and I've signed up for a class (hint: big projects on small machines!)
I like to make lap sized quilts because I don't have to send them out to be quilted. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I usually aim for the twin. In the past, I only sewed lap sized, but after making my first twin, we prefer the larger size when sitting on the couch, especially when the 4 yr old is taking over the popcorn AND the covers! And if I have a lap quilt all to myself I have a tendency to fall asleep. I need so share the twin so those sharp elbows flying around keep me awake!
Love this block. I tend to make lap quilts as I love snuggling in front of the TV under a quilt.
In my limited experience as a newcomer to quilting, crib-sized quilts have provided most of my experience. I think I'd like to try a lap quilt with more detail next. Thanks for sharing your giveaway!
I make quilts of all sizes, but my favs are Miniatures- with blocks 2" or less. Just call me crazy...
Thanks for the chance to win an issue...
My favorite size quilt is a large lap for snuggling. But I buy patterns for all shapes and sizes of quilts!
Love your block Amanda. Congratulations on having your block included in this year's Vol. 5. I really love making all different sizes. I'm doing the civil war BOM, General's Wives right now and it's going to be a king. Really depends on who or why Im making something. My Mom loves tablerunners and I think I've made her one for every season and holiday there is.
Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

I like to make lap quilts and frequently make them a bit larger than the pattern instructions. My favorite thing about the process is giving them away and hoping the recipients will be happy with them. carolann427@aol.com
Great block for a strip quilt! Thank you!
Definitely lap size quilts. Thanks!
My favorite is lap quilts! Just made 3 Xmas lap quilts for 3 very special grandchildren! Love your yo- yo block!
I like to make quilts that are queen sized or at least 80 inches since all the guys in my family are over 6 feet tall and like to tuck the quilt under their feet.
your block is so sweet!
I like to make baby quilts :)
Baby size quilt! I'm still new to quilting and wanted to start with the easiest first.
