Cheers

love the blocks and colour combinations

The blocks are beautiful!! Can’t wait to see all of them in the magazine. How nice to be able to become familiar with the fabric lines at the same time. What a terrific idea!

Great blocks. I look forward to seeing them all each day.

13 Susan Gilliam { 11.09.09 at 9:01 am }

I visited all the Top Designers listed for today. Some of them didn’t have any reference to this magazine nor a place for me to leave a note to be included in their drawings.

14 Carol from Rock Hill, SC { 11.09.09 at 9:09 am }

I visited all the different websites. There were some new ones I’d never been to before. Great idea! This books looks fantastic.

15 fancystitching { 11.09.09 at 10:50 am }

LOVE the blocks you have featured today, and I am now off to designer blogs. Thanks for a great give-away!

21 Joy Paull { 11.09.09 at 5:44 pm }

So much fun! I’ve already checked out all of today’s sites.

22 Jean Dunbar { 11.09.09 at 6:11 pm }

I was tickled to find out today, that one of my friends, one who taught me early on the my quilting life, is one of your block designers. You bet I’ll check back each day and not just to see her block. Super idea. Thanks

23 Billie K { 11.09.09 at 6:19 pm }

What a great book and great blocks!

24 Sheila Carita { 11.09.09 at 7:16 pm }

I am so excited about getting this magazine! When will it be at my local quilt shop? I want it, I want it!

26 June { 11.09.09 at 9:27 pm }

RE: JoAnne
100 Blocks is shipping now–it could start to show up at quilt shops and newsstands anytime. If your local quilt shop hasn’t ordered it yet, they still have time. The official onsale date is Nov. 17. Enjoy!

27 bingobonnie { 11.09.09 at 9:48 pm }

what an exciting project ahead! I can’t wait to see what blocks you post each day ;) I’ve got you bookmarked for sure! (Actually added to my Google Reader)

Thanks so much for the give-away chance! Someone is gonna get lucky!!!

Love from Texas! ~bonnie

Geez I’d like to be entered!

30 Babbie { 11.09.09 at 11:08 pm }

This is a fun cruise :-)

31 ferne { 11.09.09 at 11:11 pm }

100 Blocks is right up my alley. I have been making my own version of a Dear Jane quilt with blocks I find interesting.

Great idea to give the blocks away!

32 Sue { 11.10.09 at 4:11 am }

there are some really great blocks here, hope tomorrows are just as good. I love the way creative people love to share with each other

33 Dorothy Gregg { 11.10.09 at 7:05 am }

Thank you! Have just made it to the almost retired generation, and wanted to get back into the swing of quilting each day. I’ve always said it’s best to sew a few pieces together rather than going to pieces. Your ideas are an inspiration.

34 Judy in SC { 11.10.09 at 7:08 am }

A blog hop sounds like fun.

35 Suzanne { 11.10.09 at 9:21 am }

Very cool! Please sign me up for the drawing!

36 Carol from Rock Hill, SC { 11.10.09 at 11:38 am }
