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".



It really isn't complex to make, and the yo-yos make it perfect to take on a trip.

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

  2. Wow that is a gorgeous block, and I love the whole quilt made from it! I generally make quilts around 80" x 100", but it is not usual to find patterns in this size so most patterns I buy are smaller.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I tend to make a lot of wall hangings as gifts. I have made quilts for all of our beds and have started making a second one for each. Now up to son #3's next quilt.

  4. Lap size is generally large enough for me. Thanks for the giveaway.

  5. Oh! I really like the quilt mock-up you made for this block. I like to make and buy patterns for twin size to lap size quilts. A queen size quilt or larger is pretty tricky to quilt on my home machine (although it's fine to send out!). :)

  6. Love your block and layout options! My favorite size quilt to make is lap size or 56x60 size, usually longer or skinnier. Thanks for the chance to win

    Else everything big you can comfortably snuggle under.

    ReplyDelete
  23. i love making twin sized quilts!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I guess I'm more of a lap sized quilter, but I'm new to quilting. I also wouldn't trust my poor sewing machine to handle anything to crazy. Maybe someday...
    Oh yeah, I also haven't purchased any quilt patterns but drool over many. I find that I ma still more attracted to lap size or twin sized layouts.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I love making baby and lap size quilts, simply because they're easier to wrestle through my machine! Love your block!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I started off thinking there was no point in making anything but bed size. Now, after realizing the time & work envolved, I see the value of smaller sizes as well!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Your block is super cute & I love that you added the yo-yos! Lap quilts & pillow covers are my favorite projects. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I usually make bed size anywhere from twin to queen so I buy my patterns accordingly

    ReplyDelete
  29. The biggest I do is a lap quilt only because that's the biggest I can manage to quilt in my machine at the moment. Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am working on making quilts for all the beds, so I guess I would say my favorite size is twin size, since that's what we have the most of, and they sure go quicker than queen. Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I guess wall hangings are my favorite because I love to design them, then finish them quickly. In reality, I probalby make more lap quilts for charity quilts. Of course, those are very rewarding. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  34. Congrats on making the cover with your beautiful block. I usually buy patterns to make at least a twin size or larger quilt. When sitting on the couch, I like at least two people to snuggle under my quilts.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love making any size quilt, however, I tend to create large quilts more often. I've never bought a quilt pattern before...I usually go with what is in my head and create from there.

  42. I absolutely love your block - I agree, black and white with different color "buttons" on each "tuxedo" would be stunning!
    I adore making large bed-size quilts, but lately I've been making smaller projects so that I can practice my quilting! Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like the lap size quilts. Great for snuggling. I also can't resist mini-quilts. So cute. I follow you.

    ReplyDelete
  44. congrats on having a block in this fab magazine,
    I am fixated on twin sized quilts at present, as that seems to be the prevailing bedsize wherever I live...but as a beginner I should maybe look out more for lap and baby sizes...
    fingers crossed like mad- I'd love a copy!

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love making lap quilts that are around 45 by 60 as that is the largest size I can easily quilt on my machine.
    As for patterns, I don't usually buy them because I like designing my own. Although sometimes I use blocks from books (LIke the Quiltmaker's 100) as part of the design. So I would love to win a copy of this magazine.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I should make lap sized quilts or smaller but normally the size I make is twin sized or bigger. My current project is a 72" x 76" quilt. The one I just finished is 54" x 68".

    ReplyDelete
  47. Love the block - I love lap sized quilts and baby quilts. I can see this done in batiks for my mom who is in a nursing home. Jewel tones for her.

    ReplyDelete
  48. depending on the size of the person they are made for ~ the quilts I make have to be able to wrap them up nicely. =)

  61. My favorite is a lap quilt. I love your block that is on the cover. I love having hand work to do in the evenings so this would be a great quilt to work on for me. I love yo-yos and have a queen size quilt made with all yo-yos.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  64. I like making lap or twin sized quilts.

    This block is way too cute. Thank you for showcasing a possible design in a quilt -- it looks wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Cute block! I usually make quilts that consist of about 30 blocks - that's about as many as I can make before it threatens to become a UFO. So depending on the block size that can be about 50 x 60 before a border, so lap-sized?

    I'm trying to make more wall-hangings so that I feel that sense of accomplishment earlier than usual. Very few of my quilts end up on beds anyway so I guess it doesn't matter what size I make them!

    Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I make everything from miniatures ( 8"x8" ) to kings (110"x110"). If I like a pattern that's not the right size, I'll reduce it or enlarge it depending on the project. Love the use of the yo's yo's! Congrats!

  67. I am currently making sofa/lap size quilts - doesn't seem to take forever to construct. All the beds already have wonderful quilts. I am trying not to make quilts with stars this year - just tired of them. THank you for this wonderful and generous opportunity. Judy C

  68. Lap quilts for me! They seem the most useful. And my kids love them for making forts.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I seem to end up making huge quilts even if I start out intending to make a lap quilt. Just one more row....

    ReplyDelete
  70. I really admire you and enjoy your blog so much. Lap-size quilts are the ones I make a lot and sometimes I will make queen-sized quilts. Yes, I like your idea of the black and white tuxedo quilt. I can actually visualize this quilt. Great block and great idea. Thank you for your participation and giving us all a chance to win such a fantastic magazine.

  71. My favorite quilts to make are crib size. They are quick to make and an easy size to quilt. As far as patterns, sizes isn't so important if I like the pattern. I can always ajust the size by the number of blocks I make.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Yea, guessed correctly! As I beginner quilter, I have only attempted to make doll, baby, and lap size quilts. I would like to venture out and make bed-size quilts, depending on the recipients' bed as I gain confidence. Thanks for the opportunity to win this!

  73. I like making twin quilts - perfect size for my daughter, and not too much trouble to quilt on my regular old sewing machine. But I don't have much control when it comes to patterns, so I can't say I have a favorite size there!

    ReplyDelete
  74. About 60" square is the largest I want to deal with anymore. Seems like I never get the large ones done because life too often interferes.

    ReplyDelete

  84. I am currently working on my second king sized quilt. I don't mind the size except for the fact that I quilt it on a normal sized Brother sewing machine. Queen sized would probably be better suited for my machine. I love your Bubbles pattern

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  103. Congratulations on being included in 100 Blocks!! Lap quilts are my favorites to make - I think you need to be able to nap under a quilt to make it worthwhile :-) Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  107. While enjoy the speed of smaller lap size quits, I prefer to make bed size quits, usually double or queen. I enjoy the process as much as the finish and feel like I'm leaving a friend when the quilt is finally bound. I like your upbeat fun patterns.

  112. I guess my favorite size to make is lap --- though much depends on who will be receiving the quilt and whether it is for a bed or decor. I enjoy making yo yos, so it's fun to see a different way to use them.

  113. Amanda, Amanda, I am so excited to see your block as the cover of the #5 Quiltmakers 100 Blocks. I am so happy and excited for you. You do such great work, so it was a wise decision on the part of the editors to choose your block. Congratulations my friend. Oh yeah, and of course I am excited about the chance to win. Will you sign it for me? :)

    ReplyDelete
  114. I just love this block Amanda with the little yo-yo's added like that. Very pretty.

    My favorite for now is to make lap or baby quilts. I'm sure once I am more experienced I'll try a larger quilt but for now the smaller ones are easier to handle.

    Congratulations on being included in this next 100 Blocks Magazine, Issue 5.

  115. I like making quilt in 2 different sizes. Oversized queen usually have to expand the designs. OR Lap quilts we live in the basement of a house so they come in handy during the winter.

    ReplyDelete
  116. I really prefer sizes less than 45x45 : runners, lap quilts, "bed quilts" to keep my feet warm and to protect my bed quilt from excessive cat fur. They work up quick!
    Love the block. At first I thought the yo-yos were buttons!

  117. cute block!! I make queen-size, crib-size most of the time. I purchase patterns that I like and then alter them to the size I want.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I think most of my quilts would be considered long lap size, but I have made a to cover my queen size bed, and yes, it was a challenge to finish. I like to make table covers and runners because I can use them often.

    ReplyDelete
  119. I like to make queen size quilts - worth my time and effort! I especially love quilts with points and stars

    ReplyDelete
  120. My favorite size to make is lap-sized. Since I'm tall I tend to make quilts at least 6' tall (even ones for other people), the width varies. My latest project was a pillow for a swap - it was so fast and easy compared to my quilts - just 2 large wonky log cabin quilt blocks. The hardest part was the zipper - I'd gotten out of practice as I don't sew many clothes these days!

  121. I tend to make large lap size quilts. The males in our family are all over 6 feet tall, so my lap quilts are usually the size for twin beds.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I like to make throw-sized quilts best, especially when I machine quilt them myself. I end up making more bed quilts because they are the most useful, and I just wrestle them into the machine! I also like to make baby quilts, they are fast and fun.

    ReplyDelete
  123. I do love patterns that give options in sizes, so I can decide how the design works with my fabrics and what I need to make. I make any size from runner up to large queen (almost king, yikes, not excited about quilting that on my domestic! Your block is really cute!

    ReplyDelete
  124. Lately I have been into lap size quilts as they are fun and quicker to make than a full size quilt. I am a follower ,thanks for the chance to win and congratulations on your sweet block.

  125. Very cool block! :)
    I've only made the lap quilt size. I'm a new quilter and haven't braved it yet for making a bigger size...

  126. I like making Queen size quilts, but don't like quilting the layers together on my domestic. That is why I'm buying a Longarm!

    ReplyDelete
  127. I like to make lap quilts and baby quilts. People seem to love getting those. My baby quilts are smaller than most - at most 36 inches square. Moms like them because they can use them in car seat and strollers without overwhelming the baby, as quick rugs when baby has to play on the floor and as a changing mat in emergencies. I like them cuz their fast.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Love it!! I can see this block twisted and turned for some unique design. Very Clever.
    Thanks,

  130. Your block is so great.
    I mostly make smaller quilts. I have made all the bigs one I need for beds so now I am into making smaller ones.

  131. I really like to make wall hanging sized quilts, though my family and I are all running out of wall space!

    ReplyDelete
  132. WOW, I need to make queen-size quilts for each of my six children, but I've been filling in between with lap-size Christmas quilts, one for each of my four sisters. None will be alike, but for the sisters I'm using fabric with cardinals in memory of our mother who loved those red birds!

    ReplyDelete
  133. If I am not in a big hurry to complete a project, I prefer queen size quilts. People can still use them as lap quilts if they like but they can be used on their beds also.

    ReplyDelete
  134. Lap quilts are my favorite size. That way I know I can quilt them myself on my DSM. Much larger than that and they are too much work.

    ReplyDelete
  135. If I am not in a hurry I prefer to do a queen size quilt. Then people can use it as a lap quilt or a quilt for their bed if they choose. I love your square. This would be fun to do in defferent kids material for my grandsons rooms.

    ReplyDelete
  136. What an awesome block - I think it would make an adorable baby quilt! That said, my favorite size quilt is either lap size or wall hanging as I have a short attention span and just a domestic machine for quilting.

    ReplyDelete
  137. I am always biting off more than I can chew. I guess I have made more throw size than anything else, but I am always adding another row of blocks here and there to make the quilt bigger and bigger and bigger. Then I can't umderstand how hard it is to quilt on my DSM. LOL!

  138. My favorite is lap sized or baby sized quilts because they are obviously smaller. I have to tell you I LOVE Veranda with a vengeance - it is just gorgeous.

  139. I really enjoy using the quilts that I make, or having loved ones actually use them, so I like making King Size quilts, but for fun quick projects, I like lap quilt patterns.

  140. I stay within the guidelines for Quilts of Valor, my favorite charity. Usually about 60x70 (twin?) is perfect.

  141. Ha! you know me so well! I make lap quilts mostly, but start out buying queen size patterns! I love you garden paths, garden jewels, and blossoms patterns!

  142. Your block design would be perfect in black and white...yes I can see it looking like a tuxedo now (wink). So I'm one of those...I'd rather make lap sized quilts but more than often take on much larger projects and try my best to find a way to make them smaller! My quilting is by my wallet so those larger ones can set me back a bit! Thanks for a chance to win Volume 5... Sandi

  143. Oh, I saw this block featured on one of the sponsor sites, and I loved it then and still do! I never thought of it in black and white...how cute would that be! I mostly enjoy making lap sized quilts. Just enough blocks to make it satisfying with out getting sick of them. Just the right size to machine quilt.

  144. I've been making alot of Schnibble quilts lately, but I really like to make full size quilts, too.

  145. Your block is beautiful and I agree it would be great in black and white. I am new to quilting so have only made lap size so far but would like to tackle a bigger one. I actually have lots of books with patterns for all quilt sizes that I bought over the years because I knew some day I wanted to learn to quilt.

  147. My favourite would be lap-sized quilts.

  148. I like making lap sized quilts. I just make it up as it goes, so it becomes more of a twin sized or greater lap quilt. Thanks for the chance to win. Im a new follower of your blog. -Karrie ksmith8@emich.edu

  150. I like lap or twin. They both work for me. I so wanna win this one because you have tons of patterns I would love to make!! Your block is beautiful too ;)

  151. I have made each of the children a keepsake quilt and baby quilts for each grandchild that comes along and as they grow to a big kid bed. I like to make lap quilts now - not to big and challenge myself with each new project.

  152. Well I really love to make lap quilts, but when I just feel like making something faster I have made lots of table toppers and wall hanging. Thanks for the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I love to make wall hangings but it is easy to try new ideas and colors. In quilts I generally do lap size. Your block has lots of fun possibilities.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I like making big couch-cuddler quilts, ones that are long enough that feet don't stick out when someone is stretched out with a book, watching tv, or napping.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I like to do lap quilts most. Sometimes will do twin size to use as lap quilts for the tall guys.
    I like your patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  156. I love making queen size or larger. Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  157. I would say my favorite to make is lap size. That may change to baby size if I ever have grandchildren! When I buy a pattern, I don't choose it by size, but by how much I like the pattern. Many patterns can be re-sized if needed or desired.

    By the way, I love your block. It may just be my favorite so far. I can envision it in so many fabric colors and patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  158. My favorites to make are lap sized quilts, mainly because I don't have to struggle to quilt them on my machine and because I am into instant (well, nearly) gratification.

    ReplyDelete
  159. I like to make lap size the best: my daughters like to chose their own style for their comforters, and since they often watch TV on my bed I don't want my quilt to get mucked up by them being on it, so a lap quilt can be folded at the foot of my bed and then pulled over me for a nap, or pulled up on an especially cold night. I'm also getting into making baby quilts for the many great-neices and nephews that are being born. It's nice to have something that finishes up fairly quickly!!
    Love your block!! And LOVE the veranda fabric!!

  160. I like making big quilts, but it's a necessity since my son is 6' 5". I also like doing baby & kid quilts to give away.

    ReplyDelete
  161. I LOVE your block! I think most of the quilts I've made have been roughly queen-sized, but I enjoy making lap size the most...it's quicker, cheaper on supplies, and doesn't throw my back out to wrestle under the needle while fmq-ing.

    ReplyDelete
  162. I find lap quilts to be a bit too small for most in my family. So, I tend to make either twin (and use it as a lap quilt) or double. I drool over queen/king size but hesitate to make the jump to actually doing one!

  163. I like the smaller quilts for my grandchildern. Lately I have been sewing doll quilts, and a few table toppers for my stand. I love your block and I also love adding yo-yos to my projects. Congrats to your published block and I look forward to reading the new issue of Quiltmakers 100 Blocks Vol 5.. Thanks for sharing...Judith, Texas

  166. I love your block and have been reading your blog for ages. I generally make bed sized quilts. Maybe Id get more done if I did lap sizes but 99% of the time its a queen or larger.
    Thanks for the chance!

  174. I had already spied your block and decided I had to make it into a quilt or tablerunner! Love it! My favorite size quilt is a twin sized because it is small enough to cuddle up with and large enough to put on a full or queen size bed, too! Can't wait to get my hands on Volume 5! I have the other 4 issues and refer to them ALL the time! Just liked you on FB and followed and subscribed to your e-mails!

  175. Congratulations on your great block! i usually make bed quilts, although lately, lap quilts are becoming a favourite.

  176. Good looking block-- I also love the easter table runner and would like to make one
    I dont really have a favorite size quilt -- it depends on my mood. Most of what I have done are full size to queen though.

  180. I usually make throw size quilts, but these are almost as large as twin size. The patterns I buy are usually crib size or throw size, and I simply adapt the pattern to the size I want. Love your block, love all your patterns, and would be thrilled to win!

  181. I like twin sized quilts. Everyone can use that size.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Love to make queen size quilts, or little wallhangings, just to see if it's worth making bigger.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  183. I "like" making baby quilts the most, but I enjoy bed quilts more, so those are the size I make the most.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I tend to make baby quilts or throw-sized quilts! I'd like to eventually make a king-sized quilt for my bed, though.

    ReplyDelete
  185. I like to use Mary's strippy quilt (Maryquilts.com)as there are so many choices of fun fabrics to make this.

    ReplyDelete
  186. My favorite size quilts to make are either wall hangings or table toppers...this way I get to try out new designs and can do the quilting myself. Thanks for the chance!
    I'm already a happy follower :o)

  187. I like big huge snuggly quilts but quilting them is a pain on a home machine and I don't want to spend money on sending them to a quilter when I could buy more fabric so mostly I don't finish anything. I am determined to finish a few with these couple weeks I have off from school between spring and summer semesters though.

    ReplyDelete
  188. I like lap quilts. They are fun and quick to make. Love to snuggle in them while watching TV. gwonson@hotmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  189. I actually did guess right! Woot! I like lap sized best, mostly because I still despise the basting part and don't want to make it worse LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  190. I like to make full-size quilts. And I usually chose something that will challenge me and then wonder why it takes me so long to finish it.

  191. My favourite size quilt to make is definitely baby quilts. I've made several for my grandbabies but I make them about 45"x58" so they're large enough to still use and/or play with as they get a little older.

    ReplyDelete
  192. My favorite to make is anything i can fit into my machine to quilt. LOL.. usually i can manage a twin, or less... I dont dare do bigger because i just dont see it fitting into the throat of my machine!

    ReplyDelete
  193. Cute block, love the yo yos, my favorite size quilt to make is lap, mind you most of the lap quilts I make are around 80 inches square.

    ReplyDelete
  194. Your block is delightful with the yo-yos. I usually make more wallhangings than anything else these days as I live full-time in an RV.

    I love your Easter Table Topper also and I'll be downloading the pdf for next year. it's so beautiful and reminds me of deviled egg plates.

    Thank you.

    ReplyDelete
  195. I think my next project (after the started ones, the designed ones, and the "I'm thinking about" ones) will be a lap quilt. What could be nicer than watching TV on a cool evening covered in my own quilt!
