The winner will be announced on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

This giveaway includes fabric, books, patterns and more, and each prize has a retail value of about $500. A big thank you to all the donors (we’re going to blog about them next week).

It’s been great to have you along for this wonderful ride! We hope you discovered lots of great new blogs and quilting resources, and we hope you’ll come back often.

27 Terry { 11.13.09 at 5:57 am }

I just want to say thank you for this wonderful blog tour! I honestly don’t remember where I first saw about it because it’s been posted everywhere! I’m sure it was on the blog of one of the talented designers who are in your publication but I can’t remember which one. Thanks again! :0)

28 Anne D { 11.13.09 at 6:00 am }

I cant wait to see this book. I read so many blogs daily that have featured the book (including yours) that I have no idea where I first saw it-sorry. Love the book and thanks for a great giveaway

29 Ellen Ban { 11.13.09 at 6:12 am }

First heard about 100 Blocks on the Quiltmaker site. Looks like a great resource!

Christmas will come early this year for someone…..

33 Lynn S. { 11.13.09 at 6:22 am }

I found your blog by my daily reading of blogs by some of the designers–I think first spot was the stop at Lynette Anderson’s. I have driven all over town looking for the publication…I don’t think it has hit the racks here in southern Louisiana. Great publication idea!

34 Darlene B { 11.13.09 at 6:23 am }

I heard about the block hop from the Cross Country Blog Hop. It’s been great fun to see all the beautiful quilt blocks by such talented designers. I would love to win the big bundle giveaway!

36 cabesh { 11.13.09 at 6:33 am }

I read about the block hop on Camille Roskelley’s blog–I’ve been so busy exploring all the links since. This is aweseom!

37 Mary Ellen { 11.13.09 at 6:33 am }

As I am a faithful reader of this blog, I learned about the blog tour here. When I quilt, I take occasional breaks, to stretch & refocus my eyes. That’s when I check my RSS Feed for new postings and catch up on a number of quilters’ blogs. It is great to read about other quilters! The BIG Bundle sounds YUMMY!

38 DebbieKL { 11.13.09 at 6:36 am }

Woohoo! I heard about the blog tour from one of the other blogs I follow. I can’t remember which one though. :( Thanks!

39 Carolyn { 11.13.09 at 6:38 am }

I found out about this from the Cross Country Christmas Blog Hop that a group of designers are doing on their blogs. Many of them have quilt blocks in the book. I was in Borders books yesterday and was disappointed that they didn’t have this magazine in stock yet! I’ll try again over the weekend…

40 Mandy { 11.13.09 at 6:43 am }

I heard about this blog tour from reading about it on several blogs that I follow. I think I probably found out about it first from http://squirrelhollowgals.blogspot.com/ or maybe it was Pat Sloan… or even from Sandy Gervais’s blog?! I can’t remember but it’s plastered everywhere!!! I’d just love to get my hands on a copy of the mag. I’ve seen it so many times now that it’s torture!

41 Ariane { 11.13.09 at 6:50 am }

I heard about this through Gudrun’s World blog. I think this is very exciting. This is a great way to get inspiration from other designers. Thanks for having such a great giveaway!!! I can’t wait to get my hand on that book.

42 Donna { 11.13.09 at 6:55 am }

One of the blogs I follow via Google Reader led me here and I’m so glad I found you!!! I haven’t actively quilted for many years but now I finally have time to quilt but my stash is pathetic-I could really use this prize :)

43 Corey { 11.13.09 at 6:55 am }

I heard about this on Camille Roskelley’s blog. What an amazing magazine of great blocks!! Thanks so much for such a great giveaway!

46 Jeanne Turner McBrayer { 11.13.09 at 7:11 am }

what a great giveaway! I heard about it from Camille’s blog, Simplify. Thanks for all of the great links to the different designers!

57 annieofbluegables { 11.13.09 at 7:37 am }

I think I first heard about this from Rae’s PS I quilt, but I had also signed up for the Quiltmaker blog as well. I want to say that this has been a very fun RIDE. I have enjoyed seeing all the talented quilters who are included in this Block tour. There are so many people out there who have so much talent. Thank you for the really great idea. Now I have joined FaceBook as well.
I want to also say that Quiltmaker is the only quilting magazine that I subscribe to. Your magazine has such a clean and easy to read format, with little advertisement. Thank you for such a quality product. It is more of a collectors item than magazine. And it is an encyclopedia of quilt blocks. I love my collection and look through them all the time.
Thank you.

Quiltmaker has always been my favorite magazine as it is for my 11 grandchildren, each of whom has a “Grammy quilt” made from one of your patterns! I can’t wait ’til the “100 blocks” makes it to the stores! It’s really a perfect birthday gift for me! My birthday is 11/18. The samples of the blocks look gorgeous.

97 MStark { 11.13.09 at 9:27 am }

98 Sue { 11.13.09 at 9:30 am }

I heard of this blog from Kathy K. Wylie, who has one of her beautiful applique blocks, Spring Snowflake, featured in the Quiltmakers 100 Blocks magazine. Even if I do not manage to win, I will definitely buy this magazine. Its looks great. The great giveaway looks amazing and it would be so much fun to win it…. I am very new to this whole other world of blogging, but it seems to provide so much information, that I will have to learn more about it. Anyhow, lovely magazine, thank you.

105 Cindy B { 11.13.09 at 9:41 am }

I read about the 100 Blocks at Quilt in a Day site. I think this is one of the best promotions for a new publication I have seen online. I will certainly buy several copies of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks for gifts, but hoping I win one copy for myself. LOL! Thank You Quiltmaker!

I read about this event in an email newsletter…maybe from you guys? Well, I have loved visiting each designer’s site; there is so much to see and to learn from other quilters! Thank you exposing me to all these talented people!

117 Zohary Ross { 11.13.09 at 11:03 am }

I read about this on Rachel Griffith’s blog “ps I quilt” which I totally love. Being a new quilter I’m always on the lookout for fun and interesting blogs.

120 SewLindaAnn { 11.13.09 at 11:27 am }

As a long time subscriber to Quiltmaker, I read it on the Quilty Pleasures Blog. I would like to thank you all for having this. It was like being part of one of the very large quilt shows that I might not ever get to. I loved see the work of, and learning more about all the designers whose projects I work on a lot. Also, I got to read about so many more designers that I’ve never heard of. The inspiration and cultivation of new projects, and styles was amazing. Hope you decide to do it again next year!!

123 Nancy { 11.13.09 at 11:58 am }

I first learned about this Blog Hop from Pam Buda and was so excited. It has taken up alot more of my mornings; but has been so much fun!!! I was lucky enough to be a winner of a free issue the very first day of the hop. I have never been much for blogs; but this has shown me what I am missing! I just subscribed to my first year of Quiltmaker this year and am thoroughly enjoying it. I was also pleased to see some applique in this special issue. I am learning how to do it; am slow…but that is ok. Am also looking forward to reading about the fabrics used in each block. Thanks for this fun opportunity!

124 Lauren H. { 11.13.09 at 12:13 pm }

I learned about this Blog Hop from one of the designers who is participating in the Christmas Blog Hop – can’t remember which one because I have been on all 12 of there blogs all week long!

To be honest, I don’t remember how I found out about this blog/contest. I just purchased the new Quiltmaker with the Holly quilt on the cover, I subscribe via email to the Quilters Village Newsletter, and I buy a lot of quilt magazines. Anything with a name like “Quilty Pleasures” had to be something fun, and it has been fun to see all the new and different things, and be invited into all the different studios. When is the next blog-hop?
