    Hola, buenos días (good morning!!!), you caught me again looking around in your fabulous blog tour. I’m having a blast, having so much fun, finding out new blogs and stuff. The magazine’s better than ever, love all the blogs so far… I loved Bonnie Hunter’s block and Sunblock (the one you’re displaying here) Thank you so much for showing us all the cool stuff, I can’t wait to read the magazine by myself :D :D

  2. Katie says:

    Love the tour but most of the websites arent current, and dont mention day three. Hopefully they will have it updated by midday, thanks!

  3. Diana says:

    It’s been a fun 3 days of blog tour. With so many amazing talents and wonderful inspirations, I don’t want it to end. I love “Magic Squares” from today’s feature designs. It has that “modern” look with the use of grey fabric.

    p.s. I guess it’s still 2 a.m. somewhere in blog land, so not many of the websites are updated.

  4. Ariane says:

    All the blocks are wonderful so far!!! I’m just loving it!!!!

  5. Cathy A says:

    I really love the Sunblock that’s here. Of course, there are so many great blocks!!

  6. Marie A says:

    I am having a lot of fun checking out all these blocks. I think I like Sharon’s Roses the best from this block.

  7. Cassandra Allan says:

    Oh I really
    I really like the magic squares in this post! Thanks for the interesting blocks.

  8. Karen says:

    Enjoying all the blocks, but if I had to name favourites they would be Sunblock (great name!) and Khanam’s Surprise. Looking forward to the rest!

  9. Sunnybec says:

    Wow the one today by Bonnie Hunter is very striking, it was hard to stop looking at it!! Thanks for the chance to win.

  10. As a fan of Sharon Pederson I visited her blog straight away. Like her Rose of Sharon block, as well as How Tweet it is from earlier in the week. Bonnie Hunter’s block/project prompts instant (must use scraps) desire to begin new quilt right away :)

  11. jil says:

    How do we choose one from all the beautiful workmanship displayed so far, they are unique and special creations that display the quilter’s passion for his or her craft and each one deserves appreciation in their turn. One block that took my eye attention today was Eileen Fowler’s Sunblock. It is dynamic and has a great story too.

  12. Margaret says:

    What fun to see so many beautiful designs. My favorite block is Happy by Me and My Sister; love their fabrics.

  13. KT says:

    So many great blocks! I absolutely love Eileen Fowler’s block–stunning!

  14. Lisa Marie says:

    I’ve liked so many of the blocks — I can’t wait to get the magazine so I will have them all together so I can start trying them. One block that has stuck in my head is the one by Vickie of Spun Sugar Quilts that was on yesterday’s blog tour. Lovely!

  15. Jackie Schumacher says:

    So many beautiful choices! I’m a big Bonnie Hunter fan, and am finding some great new (to me at least) designers here. I like the Magic Square shown here, must check out Konda Luckau’s work!

  16. Love the Sunblock – wow!!!

  17. I have to choose??? “Happy” was cute, as was “Sunnyside Up”, but today’s offerings are my fav so far. I really like “Magic Squares” and “Starstruck”. Oh my!

  18. charmaine says:

    sharon’s roses by sharon pederson would have to be my favourite from today’s selection. Loving the blog tour

  19. Jean says:

    I just love Bonnie Hunter’s block. She is one of my favorite quilt designers!
    Thanks for the giveaways and for putting out wonderful magazines!

  20. Betsy O says:

    It’s impossible to have a favorite, so many tweak my imagination and I can’t wait to get started on my next project.

  21. Ellen Ban says:

    I love the Sunblock!

  22. Karen O. says:

    Love both Bonnie Hunter’s and Sharon Pederson delightful blocks but Winston wins out today!

  23. Katie says:

    I love the bright whimsicalness of Pat Sloan’s block today. But again, they’re all wonderful. The more I see, the more I want volume 3! Thanks for a chance to win it!

  24. Colleen says:

    Love the Rose of Sharon Block but it is almost impossible to pick a favorite with so many beautiful blocks.

  25. Chris says:

    Today I love Winston Ways. But the Black Pearl is still my favorite (right now!) thanks!

  26. Lee says:

    The Sunblock today is stunning as are many of them. Hard to pick just one favorite! thanks for another day of fun!!

  27. DianeP says:

    So many pretty blocks – hard to find a favorite! Love Pink Lemonade by Happy Zombie – so pretty and happy!

    Thank you for the chance to win – I appreciate it!

  28. Paul says:

    I have loved TWO blocks… Julie Herman and Bonnie Hunter are two of my favorite designers… Odd since they are very different in their design approach, but they are my favorites none the less.

  29. Judy C in NC says:

    Bonnie Hunter’s Winston Ways is my favorite for today. Love this giveaway and opportunity. Judy C

  30. Teresa in Music City says:

    SUNBLOCK!!! What an exciting block! I can’t wait to work with it… Hopefully I’ll win a copy of the magazine, but if not I’ll be first in line to buy one when it comes out! Thanks for the chance to win!

  31. Carolyn says:

    Love the Bonnie Hunter Winston Ways. I just love her scrappy blocks.

  32. I loved Pink Lemonade – so sweet :D
    Sunblock was lovely too!

  33. deb says:

    I think my fav for today is the sun block, but I have not seen all of the other blog pages. I am often surprised by how grafic the secondary designs can be in pieced blocks. I love it when the block designers show an EQ layout, or a picture of a top made with their blocks. Thanks to all of you :o )

  34. Lynn D in NC says:

    I am a sun lover, so the SunBlock just makes my heart sing. And I love that one of the QM staff did it.

  35. Andra says:

    I really am enjoying all of them, but I like the Magic squares really neat especially with the fabrics used, I also really like the Commencement Block by Jennifer Chiaverini. Thanks for the chance.

  36. Dee Johnson says:

    Still loving Sunnyside Up-but today you have Pat Sloan – woot woot.

  37. Kris S says:

    My favorite today is Bonnie’s block, but overall I still love Commencement.

  38. Lori S says:

    Starstruck by blue nickel studios left me star struck! I am also intrigued by sunblock. thanks again for a chance to win. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s tour!

  39. Bev Hardesty says:

    I found my way here from Bonnie Hunter’s blog – the first place I go on the internet every day. I was going to vote for her block because I love her scrappy designs, but the other featured blocks are also calling my name! You can’t choose just one. Thanks for the great ideas.

  40. Maureen says:

    So far I love the Sun block featured yesterday and shown again today!

  41. A.J. Dub says:

    Pink Lemonade is my favorite so far. I do like that Sunblock and Konda’s Magic Squares block looks like a fun one.

  42. I love the sun block!!! It is so bright and happy!!!

  43. Siobhan says:

    Like Bonnie’s Winston block. However I immediately began to calculate how to make the block a bit larger! She does love tiny pieces!

  44. Linda says:

    I thought I left a comment on here already but maybe not…seniors moment you know!
    I love Bonnie Hunter’s block, will be looking for that one – I already have 4 patches made…and they can be cut down if I need to! lol

  45. Sherry says:

    Hopped on over here from Quiltville’s blog, love her block. Great blog.

  46. Carla says:

    Love the “Patched Geese”! Think it’s one I could actually do! lol!

  47. Marge in Louisiana says:

    So far my favorite is “Graduation”

  48. dianne bondaroff says:

    This blog tour is so much fun! Bonnie Hunter gets my vote for today. Thanks for the giveaway – great book.

  49. Janet says:

    I love Sharon Pederson’s block. I can’t wait to get my new issue!! Every magazine is so inspiring. I love to page through and dream of future quilts. Lovin the blog tour!

  50. Mary Kastner says:

    I loved the block by Jennifer C. Thank you for the opportunity to win this book and magazine.
    Mary

  51. Sheila says:

    Good morning. Since it finally is not raining today I must admit the Sunblock made me smile. My heart however is in the scrappy mode along with Bonnie Hunter. Thanks for a great website and magazine.

  52. kathy h says:

    There were a lot of very pretty blocks again. My favorite was the sunblock and the SHaron’s rose.

  53. Cathy B says:

    So many beautiful blocks. I think my favorite from today would be Pat Sloan’s block. I love her whimsy. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of the magazine.

  54. I am a scrappy kind of gal, so I think Winston Ways by Bonnie Hunter is on my list to make, and soon.

  55. Linda Hodge says:

    Am a big fan of Bonnie Hunter, but all blocks are awesome.

  56. Deb Y says:

    All the blocks are great, but if I can only vote for one it would be Bonnie Hunters. I love scrappy!

  57. Marion Fuchs says:

    Love the Bonnie Hunter Winston Ways. I just love her scrappy blocks.

  58. Teri says:

    Love Bonnie’s block, with Scott’s block close behind. I love how Scotts block takes the work out of the sashing and creates a secondary design.

  59. Martina says:

    I really love the block Winston Ways by Bonnie Hunter. I am just a fan of scrappy looks, but Lynette Andersons block is also one of my favourite beause after scrappy I love applique. Thanks again for another great tourday!

  60. Sandi P. says:

    I love Eileen’s Sunblock and I’m a big fan of Bonnie Hunter and her Winston Ways is a great scrappy block. However, Scott Henson’s block, which didn’t impress me by itself on the Quiltmaker site, blew me away in the quilt on the blue nickel site. I don’t have the kind of vision to see that kind of potential. I’m glad someone does.

  61. Vivian says:

    Just sticking with the blocks from today (and even that makes it hard to choose), I guess the “stunner” for me is Sunblock. But pretty much every block generates an idea or “what if” for me. This issue is really going to be a good one!

  62. Carol says:

    I am really enjoying the blog tour! And all the blocks! I am a big Bonnie Hunter fan, and love her block. Also the Sunblock — we have had such a gray winter and spring, so that burst of sunshine makes me smile!

  63. Vida Arrington says:

    Love the Winston Ways and Sunblock. Look forward to seeing all of the rest of the blocks.

  64. Wendy says:

    I love Bonnie Hunters block. It will be a fun one to make. Looking forward to seeing more blocks revealed.

  65. Celeste says:

    Starstruck by Blue Nickel Studios gets my vote today. I think it would look good in pastels for a baby quilt.

  66. Kathy Tripp says:

    Enjoyed visiting site again today. Love Sharon’s Rose so much I hope I can try it for myself!

  67. Barb Hauck says:

    Iabsolutely love Bonnie Hunter’s block, ?Winston Ways, and can’t wait to start working with it. Of course, I’d love to win a copy of the book as well.

  68. janet says:

    I am a Bonnie Hunter fan, but because I like scrappy quilts she never lets me down on her patterns, I would love to win.

  69. Sherry Book says:

    Bonnie’s Hunter block is my fav….so useful for all my scraps AND I love stars! Thanks for such a wonderful blog hop…I’ve seen many designers I haven’t met before…having a great time in my jammies!

  70. Rose says:

    Sun block is my favorite today

  71. Mary W says:

    Love Bonnie Hunters block, as I could use up a lot of scraps. Actually there are a lot of the blocks I would like to try.. It would be fun to make a sampler quilt, It may have to be a big sampler quilt though!!

  72. Sandra Timmons says:

  77. Karen Holland says:

    It is really hard to pick just one, so I like them all! I really enjoy the applique blocks and the blocks that are paper pieced. I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!

  78. Linda E in AZ says:

    I think I like Sharon Pederson’s Sunflower block the best!
    thanks for the chance to win

  79. Mary says:

    This blog tour is such fun – I’m discovering loads of new blogs!
    My favourite block today comes from moosequilts

  85. Teresa says:

    Love this block, especially in this particular colorway! I’ve been looking for a block like this ever since I saw a one of a kind mini quilt on ebay. That one was more free form but I like them both equally well!

  86. Love this block!! Great job!
    Paulette

  87. Tami says:

    I really like the block called “Happy”. Seems fairly easy to make….this blog tour is tons of fun this week!

    Linda in Southern Illinois

  89. Stephanie Matz says:

    Oh, so many blocks so far I really love. I have five from today alone! But so far, the most striking for me has to be Eileen Fowler’s Sunblock. Wow. This one I want to try.

    Debbie

  105. Joanna says:

    There were so many but I loved the Sunblock that Eileen Fowler created, especially in the scrap version. One of the bloggers suggested a sampler quilt made with blocks from the magazine and I just love that Idea because I can’t pick just one.

  106. Erin says:

    It is killer hard to pick just one block, but the one that’s sticking out to me today is Pink Lemonade. I’m addicted to hexagons!

    There are several blocks that I really like on this tour. For today it’s Eileen’s block, absolutely beautiful!

  115. Leslie Schmidt says:

    I love Konda Luckau’s block. I’m more of a piecer than an appliquer, so I was also struck by Bonnie Hunter’s block. They really appeal to me. And I can’t forget Monica. Now that’s the way I want to do hexes!

  116. Cecilia Young says:

    I really liked Bonnie Huter’s block. It makes a wonderful secondary design. I have been enjoying the tour and all of the new blocks. Thanks for the magazine and inspiration.

  117. Madeline says:

    I have to say I like the sunblock maybe the best, because I like the idea of making it in seasonal colors

    I love these 100 blocks blog tours. I meet so many talented people and everyone is so very friendly.
    ~a

  120. Sharon says:

    I’m a big fan of Bonnie Hunter, but I can’t decide which I like better – her Winston Ways or that Sunblock by Eileen Fowler. They are both pretty great.

  121. Barbara L says:

    So many blocks to love! I really love applique and there are several that really caught my eye. I’d have to say so far Lynette Anderson’s is still my favorite!

  122. nancyrk says:

    Thanks for the preview of the new 100 blocks. What I like is seeing the variety in the blocks as it gives me inspiration for new blocks I want to do with the stash in my house. The blocks with floral motifs – like Rose of Sharon blocks are great.

  123. Sharon Lichter says:

    I very much like the block Splinters and Threads. Love the colors and design. The variety of blocks is great. Such an inspiration.

  133. SewLindaAnn says:

    I love Eileen Fowlers’ Sunburst block. I love paper piecing. Just wanted to say thanks for today, I was excited to see that Clover had a blog! Just what I needed, another blog to love :) (I have the book already just wanted to comment anyway)

  134. OH DO I EVER LOVE WINSTON WAYS – Bonnie K. Hunter never fails to inspire me. I love this block……love those little pieces! OH DEAR – now I am going to have to make this quilt….just can’t help myself! LOL

  136. Wendi says:

    I LOVE Sunblock by Eileen Fowler and also the block by Bonnie Hunter……..

  137. Melissa Garcia says:

    They are all so good. Of course I am partial to Bonnie Hunter. But the rubber duckie by whimsical ways looks like it will be perfect for my nephew-to-be.

  138. Kathy says:

    I just love all the different blocks created by so many talented quilters. It inspires me to go right to my sewing machine!

  139. Teaquilts says:

    Love the new magazine! You know I have to buy a copy. I’m at the halfway mark of 50 blocks I’ve made from volume 2. I enjoy these magazines. Keep them coming!

  140. I have seen several great blocks. Two that come to mind are Bonnie Hunter’s block and Scott Hansen’s block. I love the mug. Have you considered selling the mugs, too?

  141. I love
    Sharon’s Roses by Sharon Pedersen. I could see myself making that one. I love most of them and can’t wait to get the mag.

  142. Lyn says:

    My favorite block is still Susan Geddes’ Sunnyside Up block…it’s cheerful and whimsical, and I really liked her block from the previous issue too!

  143. Carol C says:

    I’ve been a Bonnie Hunter fan for years and loved her block, of course. But Eileen Fowler’s Sunblock blew me away. It’s my favorite of the tour so far.

  144. sandi v says:

    Wonderful blocks. I’d love to win the issue.

  145. Christy says:

    I don’t think I”ve seen all the blocks yet, but my favorites so far are “Sunblock” and “Pink Lemonade”.

  146. Ruth in FL says:

    I’ve never gotten into applique, but Sharon Pederson’s block is so gorgeous I need to try that one, even if I only make one for a beautiful accessory pillow!

  147. Betsy Pratt says:

    I love Monica Solaria-Snow’s hexagon block and the Sunblock by Eileen Fowler. I love, love, love hexagons, and the starburst block’s colors are perfect, yet would be gorgeous is any jewel tones.
    Thank you,
    Betsy Pratt

  148. Diane Steele says:

    Bonnie Hunter’s blocks and quilts have a ‘bountiful’ number of pieces but they are always fabulous. “Winston Ways” is no different–LOVE IT!

  149. joanne medeiros-gentile says:

    I am enjoying this so much! It is the first thing I head to on the computer daily at the moment! I am still thinking my fav block so far is by Julie H. from jaybird.

  150. MarciaW says:

    Today scraps win out as the block that I keep returning to is that of Bonnie Hunter – Winston Ways. I really like the many ways this block can be set in a quilt.

  151. Beverly says:

    I love the sun block – very cheerful and colorful

  152. Kaye M. says:

    My 2 favorite blocks today are Bonnie Hunter’s Winston Ways and Eileen Fowler’s Sunblock. I just love this blog tour!

  153. Pat V. says:

    My favorite block today is Bonnie Hunter’s Winston Ways. (So far I’ve been able to pick one favorite per day, can’t narrow it down any further!)

  154. Jennifer says:

    So far my favorite blocks have been Illusion by Jaybird Quilts and Cinzia White’s unnamed block. I’ve really had fun looking at all the different blocks and getting inspiration. Can’t wait for the issue to go on sale.

    I thought last year’s “Birthday Girl” by Bonnie Hunter was so HER, but this year her “Winston Ways” is even more HER! Including her own striped shirt in there and her signature love for cheddar. Beautiful!!!

    Love from Texas! ~bonnie

  156. My favorite from today’s post is Magic Squares. I can totally see myself making a quilt from this block!

  157. Matilda in Manitoba says:

    Since incorporating Bonnie’s scrap saver system, I am always anxious to try her patterns since the pieces are already waiting. Winston Ways makes for a very clever looking quilt as do the other contributors blocks. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!!! Matilda

  158. VickiT says:

    Wow. SO many awesome blocks and each day it gets harder to choose a favorite. I keep going back and forth trying to decide which is my favorite. I can say that my number 1 yesterday has been bumped down to number 2 after seeing Gina Redlin’s block at Splinters and Threads Musings. I am not seeing the name of her block anywhere so I can’t give that but the block is awesome. That’s definitely my favorite as of this minute.

  159. Janet says:

    I’ve seen lots of great blocks in the tour. My favourite today is Pink Lemonade by Monica Solorio-Snow.

  160. I’m having a hard time picking a favorite. I love scrapppy, so I guess Bonnie Hunter’s would be my pick!

  161. Sandy A says:

    I just got the second volume and saw the Ice Crystal block there. Love the Sun block with it! Also love the one that KarrieLyne from Freckled Whimsy did, and the applique one from Sarah Venderburgh. Thanks for the chance to win!

  162. Dorothy Reitsma says:

    I love Winston Ways by Bonnie Hunter as it encourages me to get out my scraps and make the block.

  163. Joyce Mitchell says:

    All the blocks are terrific. I really like Laura’s Rose Garden Block because I enjoy making quilts that give the illusion of curves (since I’m a little inexperienced in actually sewing curves).

  164. duff says:

    rally, this is such a difficult choice! I really love Pat Sloan’s block. I can’t imagine making it, but I think it’s absolutely wonderful because it takes a traditional design and updates it with color and style. so creative!

  165. Kathleen B says:

    I love another block! It is the My Rose Garden block = wonderful! Thanks.

  166. Tammy says:

    I am really have a good time on this tour so far. All the blocks are really great which makes it hard to just narrow it down to just one design! I can not decide because it is hard for me to just pick one!!

  167. Lynn says:

    Definitely Sharon’s Roses by Sharon Pederson! I collect Rose block patterns … and one of these days I intend to MAKE one!

  168. Fun fun and more fun! I love the paper pieced sun, and even have a couple of those fabrics…can’t wait!

  169. Carolyn says:

    My favorite block is the sun block. Foundation piecing is my favorite technique.

  170. quiltcookie says:

    I like the sunblock

  171. Dana says:

    I am loving the blog hop- thanks for having us stop by- see you tomorrow too!

  172. Cathryn H says:

    I love the block by Eileen Fowler – the Sunblock. It reminds me of a sunny day with no clouds.

  173. cindy says:

    Having fun on this blog tour! Seeing all the blocks is great.

  174. cheryl mitchell says:

    I love to look at pictures of others blocks and be inspired!!!

  175. E. Engman says:

    I truly enjoyed visiting the blogs, especially those that show the block from the book in a quilt layout, some with variations. The block that is calling me is “Sunblock”–so cheerful and with such possibilities. My favorite blogs today (besides QM’s) were thehappyzombie.com and sharonpederson.blogspot.com.

  176. Jeanne Gwin says:

    Winston Ways by Bonnie Hunter Hard to choose, they are all great!!!

  177. Nancy B from Many LA says:

    My favorite block so far, I think, is the handbag block.

  178. Evelene Sterling says:

    Oh gosh to try and narrow it down it’s hard because I love them all for different reasons. Okay if I have to choose it will be the Sunblock for today but tomorrow will be a whole other story. Thanks for a chance to win.

  179. kwiltnkats says:

    Diane, love it all…no one single thing to mention…bring on Thursday! Sandi

  180. Cissa says:

    Absolutely lovely! Great new blogs to follow. Thanks.

  181. Debbie says:

    I was taken by Julie Herman’s block the other day and also Bonnie Hunter’s block. I like the secondary pattern that Bonnie’s block makes when put together.

  182. TxGal says:

    Enjoyed ALL the great blocks and blog visits, but if I MUST pick … it would be SUNBLOCK by Eileen Fowler. Also love Pat Sloan’s and Bonnie Hunter’s. This is FUN, thanks!

  183. Jacque says:

    I’m crazy about Bonnie’s Winston block…love her scrappy creations!

  184. Claudia says:

    This is my favorite so far. Love that “hexy” design.

  185. Joyce says:

    I love “Sunblock”. I recently took a class from Carol Doak and fell in love with how easy foundation piecing can be.

  186. Jen says:

    Great blocks! I am definetley loving this tour! My favorite so far is the Sunflower block. Totally gorgeous!

  187. Linda Bourgeois says:

    Sunblock is my favorite here. Can’t wait to get vol 3 with all of the blocks.

  188. Julie Kaye says:

    It will be hard to best Winston Ways by Bonnie Hunter. I’ve already started planning my new quilt using this block. Way to go Bonnie.

  189. Barbara says:

    Pick just one….right now …Sunblock, I jsut finished looking at it and it was raining…again here this morning. A bright spot in my day for sure.

  190. Susan Wheatley says:

    How are we supposed to get anything done with this blog tour going on! Dust bunnies have takena over my house, my children have been in the same clothes since Sunday & we’re down to Ritz crackers & Easy Squeeze for breakfast, lunch & dinner!
    One of my favorite blocks so far is Cinzia White’s. It is just so amazing! I can’t wait to get hold of the directions!

  191. It sure has been fun catching up! I love Bonnie Hunter’s block! Thanks for the fun!

  192. Christine Gray says:

    being an artist by profession, of course so many of the blocks appeal to me, by color and design, but I confess to being a scrap junkie, so of course Bonnie Hunter’s Winston Ways is my choice :)

  193. Carla Brown says:

    They are all awesome, but Winston Ways is my favorite. this is so much fun can’t wait to see more.

  194. Colette says:

    I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the sunblock patch. Probably because my favorite color is yellow, and it enhances the color wonderfully! Not to mention, I have become on of the paper-piecing addicts.

  195. Joy P says:

    So far my favorite is Spinning Star by Lynn Roddy Brown, love the drama of the red.

  196. Nancy Sue says:

    Hard to choose just one, but Winston Ways is Wonderful :)

  197. Tremendous issues here. I’m very glad to see your post. Thanks so much and I’m looking ahead to contact you. Will you please drop me a mail?
