Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7

Today it is time to share my block on the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7 Blog Tour! (Check out their blog too because there are more giveaways there, in addition to the one below.)

Here is a sneak peek of my block, "Lollipop, Lollipop!" I pieced it in Bella right after receiving yardage this past fall from Blend Fabrics.

Lollipop, Lollipop in Bella

But now I think it might be fun to sew up a block in Holiday Bouquet...

Lollipop, Lollipop in Holiday Bouquet

Or maybe Bonjour, Mon Ami?

Lollipop, Lollipop in Bonjour, Mon Ami

Quiltmaker's 100 blocks Volume 7 will be on newsstands on May 7th, and Quiltmaker is allowing me to giveaway an issue! I'm also going to throw in a beautiful fat quarter bundle of Michael Miller Red and Aqua fabrics. I used these fabrics in a quilt in Modern Holiday called Crossroads that recently put in an appearance at Quilt Con with C&T Publishing. I've been cutting up and assembling bundles for giveaways at my two Schoolhouses at market and I have an extra!

(If you are at Market I'll be doing an 11:35 Schoolhouse on Thursday with C&T Publishing to talk about Modern Holiday and another at 3:10 for Brewer Sewing to talk about Modern Quilting. Please come visit!)

To enter leave a comment telling me which of the above versions of "Lollipop, Lollipop" you like best. One entry per person please and make sure to leave me a way to contact you should you win. The deadline will be this Sunday the 5th at midnight. Note: This giveaway is now closed.

Happy sewing!
Amanda

It is so very hard to pick just one favorite because I love all of them that you have shown us. On top of that, I think this block of yours is going to look great in red and aqua colors. I just love those colors. So pretty and yet so striking. Thank you for being a part of QM 100 Blocks, Volume 7 tour and giving us all a chance to win. I always enjoy my visits to your blog. There is always something fun to do and you are one busy quilter indeed.

Congratulations on your block being selected for Volume 7 of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks. It is very pretty and versatile too. Thanks for the chance to win some of your lovely fabric too. I like all the selections so was a difficult choice.
At May 3, 2013 at 1:39 PM , KathySue said...: Love your block and although I love the colors of the Bella fabric line, your block shows much better in Bonjour, Mon Ami with the contrast that fabric affords. Thanks for a chance to win.
At May 3, 2013 at 1:41 PM , Donna said...: Bella is gorgeous fabric, but with your lollipop block we could show of our favorite fabrics. I see polka dots in your Michael Miller fabrics. My soon to be daughter in law loves polka dots.

At May 3, 2013 at 1:57 PM , Mom who loves to sew said...: This is not fair.....we can only pick
one? If that's the case I guess I would have to say Holiday Bouquet. I love the way the contrasting fabrics really show off the design of the block. They are all truly beautiful...great job.

Of course, I have to say the combination of red and aqua fabrics is the colors that I always seem drawn to use. Made a quilt in those colors for Quiltmaker's 2011 Scrap Squad and have always thought it was special. Your fabric bundle looks great!

Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7

Today it is time to share my block on the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7 Blog Tour! (Check out their blog too because there are more giveaways there, in addition to the one below.)

Here is a sneak peek of my block, "Lollipop, Lollipop!" I pieced it in Bella right after receiving yardage this past fall from Blend Fabrics.

Lollipop, Lollipop in Bella

But now I think it might be fun to sew up a block in Holiday Bouquet...

Lollipop, Lollipop in Holiday Bouquet

Or maybe Bonjour, Mon Ami?
