It so much fun visiting all of the different blogs and getting a preview of all of the blocks that are featured in the magazine! I can’t wait to get my own copy!
Love the look of the book and the beautiful fabric.
This tour is so much fun!!! I enjoyed yesterday, and am getting ready to start today’s. Knowing that we are going to find out all the fabric lines used in these blocks is great! After the magazine has come out, you should have a contest for the best block submitted….I already have a favorite from yesterday. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of this tour!
Brilliant ideas + brilliant fabric+ brilliant design = brilliant blocks!
I would absolutely love to win the fabric to start some new blocks…
is that Pat Sloan’s Georga line? Yummy! So far I’ve had fun! joining in a day late, but still playing right along!
This “big bundle” might better be called an “enormous bundle”. With so much stuff, maybe you should split it into 2 bundles and make twice as many people happy. Even with 2 bundles, they would still be big.
Fabric looks beautiful!!! Would LOVE to win it!!!

I haven’t been quilting very long, but I love looking at quilts in which the blocks create a secondary pattern depending on the colors and values of the fabric that you choose.
They always look SO beautiful and so challenging!
