Great blog tour! I’m sure I spent at least 1/2 hour each day if not more, so at least 2 1/2 hours for me! Thanks for another chance to win!
Oh good grief. Our online connection is so slow–I’ve easily spent an hour each day. Thanks for making it such a rewarding hour x 5!
great blog tour again…. how much time… way too much:) But it was fun
Thanks for a wonderful week. Unfortunately, this week I was bed bound…. fortunately this week I had lots of free time and have spent much of it checking out the great blogs. Thank you
I actually had a busy week, so I spent less time on the blog tour than I usually do. I’d say I checked out 3 or 4 blogs per day, as opposed to all of them!
I ahve been laid up after wrenching my shoulder so spent at least an hour a day.. thank you for entertaining me while I recovered, so put me down for at least 5 hours
This was fun! It’s really hard to estimate, but I supposed it could have been between one to two hours.
wow! Fantastic. a couple of hours spent looking, lovely.
What a fun blog tour. I enjoyed being linked up to ‘new-to-me’ sites and having the opportunity to explore more talent! Looks like a great new issue! Can’t wait to pick up my copy.
The tour has been fantastic! I have spent between a half hour and an hour each day reading blogs on the tour.
I’ve spent at least 1/2 hour, probably more, each day. I haven’t had time to visit each blog, but the blocks are beautiful!
I have probably spent about an hour each day. It has been fantastic looking at all the blocks and finding out about the designers!
Ahh now you’re going to get me in trouble. ;0) I probably spent at least a couple hours perusing the blogs.
Who cares how much time I have spent!! I have had great fun and met so many great block inventors and their blogs. I say THANK YOU!! Cheers, Dianne
Oh I know I spent at least a couple of hours. It was so much fun seeing all the blocks. So many I want to try. Thanks for the introduction. Now to get my hands on a copy!!! Great job!
Thanks so much! It was again great fun! I spent at least one hour a day. So 5 hours on the computer and not stitching….
I’m not sure I want to estimate how much time I have spent!!Probably 3 to 4 hours.
I would say I’m a huge time-waster
) I spent 2-3 hours each day checking out the blogs. I look forward to this twice a year and set aside some time to really check out the bloggers…. always looking for a few new good people to follow!
Thank you for breaking this down into more manageable chunks! It was enjoyable to really be able to spend some time with each blogger, reading some of their previous posts, instead of just blasting through to get done.
I have spent several fun filled hours on the blog tour. What a great group of blocks and bloggers. Thank you.
The time just flies by when I’m reading these blogs — I am so inspired by them! I’ve been following every day, maybe 5 hours total? 8 hours? More? Who knows!
Unfortunately, this week has been full of major family emergencies, (dad and brother both in separate hospitals) but this morning I will try to play catch up on the blogs. I estimate I will spend two hours, but maybe more if my day allows! thanks for the giveaway.
I have spent 4-5 hours on the blog tour this week! I love reading the blogs, and have subscribed to several!! REALLY would love to have one of those beloved coffee mugs!!!!
First, thank you again for remembering our Veterans. Love this tour and appreciate everyone’s hard work. I probably spent 1-2 hrs per day peeking at the websites.
This is the first time I’ve done the blog tour, and I thought it was lots of fun. I probably spent an hour a day checking out all the blogs.
Thanks for the fun!
I do love this blog hop. I probably spent about 5 hours this week, I get lost into looking at the blogs I visit. If they can make such beautiful blocks, they probably have other things I want to see. Thanks, I’ve had fun.
I spent about an hour a day–so, 5!
Let’s be honest here. With all of the time I’ve spent reading the great blogs everyday I bet I’ve spent a minimum of 8 hours this week on the 100 Blocks Blog Hop! That’s a good day’s work! Kd ~ http://www.KdQuilts.com
Another great tour. Thanks for the chance to win.
I spent 1-2 hours a day surfing from one blog to another one.Really fun
TOO MUCH…I must have spent at least 1/2 hour or more a day. The blocks are wonderful and it has been fun. Oh, I really should have been sewing!
love the laundry block, gonna have to make that with some of my fave fabric to hang on my wall in my new sewing room when i move next week!!! super awesome!
Guess I’m spending 20 hours on the blog tour, I love to see all the blogs from the designers, so I take my time…, I’m so sad it’s the last day, I review everything…, need to check today designers yet, it will make 4 more hours, my final answer’s 24 hours!!!!. I’d love to be one of the luckiest winners, with the bundles of joy and the mug, yay!!!! please pick me
Thanks for all the giveaways, and the insight into new blogs. I probably spend between a half to an hour every morning looking thru the blogs, and some of the comments. Thanks again.
Probably about 10 hours. I anticipated it though because I’ve done all the others too. I take my morning coffee time and breaks throughout the day, but mostly a couple of hours in the morning. Some blogs weren’t updated till later so I checked back, and it was fun to read more than just the Vol. 4 post. I found lots of books, patterns and ideas that I otherwise wouldn’t have, and learned more about people I’ve already subscribed to. Most of all though, it’s just fun and inspiring to connect with more creative souls out there who love everything textile related. I always take advantage of the subscription offers on Quiltmaker and Quilter’s Newsletter. At least one of them is paid out till 2013. Thank you once again, and I look forward to the next one!
What a great idea this was, hope you will do it again. Thank you for the enjoyment this added to my day.
Really great designs. I can’t wait to get my copy.
I got so hooked on checking out as many as I couldn’t believe how much time I spent touring around and adding new blogs to my bookmarks. It’s been so much fun. Thanks
Lunch hours (which were longer than hours) – so probably 4+ this week once I get through today’s posts. Well worth it – great fun!
I visited all the blogs every day and returned to some again, so I probably spent a hour each day. It’s been so interesting to see all the variety!
Oh good grief! I think I spent about 45 minutes each day.. I tend to get a bit distracted by all the pretty colors. LOL.
Enjoyed the block tour! Would have loved to have spent more time visiting but was only to take about 1/2 hour each day. Had to go to work – but how would I enjoy purchasing quilt fabric if I didn’t?
thanks it was fun
Beautiful! I’m enspired!
Love the blog tour! Must make it an annual event. You are very generous! Judy W
I’ve probably spent 2 hours/day on your blog. I’ve been layed up because of an injury, so it’s been really nice to visit all the blogs and explore their goodness.
I’d estimate 2-3 hours but it could have been more. It was very inspiring to see all the work and am looking forward to the magazine!
Wonderful blocks!!!
Including all the time I spent on all the fabulous links on each of the fabulous designer’s blogs, I probably spent 1-2 hours each day touring around cyberspace. It was a blast (and a good thing I’m home sick — plenty of time to play!) Total time: 5-10 hours of bloggy happiness.
I spent 2 or 3 hours on the blog tour this week. Lots of fun, and I loved seeing all the new blocks and new (to me) blogs.
I probably spent 1/2 hour a day..Would like to be able to spend more
Time flies when you’re browsing blogs! Who knows?
Such fun! I can get lost for hours in these blogs. So much talent!
I haven’t spent enough time but too much time. Does that make any sense? While I thoroughly enjoyed going through ALL the blogs and sites, I should have been down in my quilt room doing the very thing everybody else is doing–MAKING QUILTS!
I have been poking around each and every site. Sometimes even poking around their link sites. So my time spent has been as much as 3 hours a day. While I should have been doing other things I have found so many neat little tidbits that I don’t care.
I will have spent about 10 hrs. on here after this mornings tour. I can’t just look at the blocks lol….I have to check out their blogs and some of their favorite blog sites too. It is a great time!! Needless to say, no quilting this week….put the time on here instead.
I spent at least two hours each day bloghopping during 100blocks days. I entered most giveaways, became a follower on several new blogs, got lots of new ideas and also learned new techniques. So, I had a great time and even if I win a copy of the magazine, I will also be buying at least three for Christmas gifts for my quilty buddies. Thanks!!
Recovering from knee surgery I spent about two hours a day on this adventure. thanks.
Pretty sure I spent about five hours this week perusing all the blogs–lots of fun!
I love the blog tour and the chance to win prizes! I probably spent 6 – 8 hours on it this week! Thanks for the entertainment and information!
Great blog tour – I’ve spent about an hour each of 4 days trying to catch up and carefully checking out the designers and blocks. This is the first blog tour I’ve ever done – and it’s been fantastic!! I have loved every single block and want to make them all.
gosh! I am not real sure but I will guess 1/2 hour to an hour. It really has been fun and I can’t believe it is the last day.
I probably spent two hours a day on the blog tour, I love looking at blogs I haven’t read yet.
Loved all the blocks you showed.
This has been great fun. I spent about 4 hours. Had to have some limits, to make time for work. But I have bookmarked a lot of great sites to return to. Thanks for the chance to win.
I think I spent at least an hour each day, maybe more, reviewing the blogs. What fun!
Conservatively, I would say at least an hour a day. Sometimes I would get so hung up following leads that it was even longer. So much fun, so little time. G
I’ve loved doing the tour these past 5 days. Such wonderful blocks and great blogs (although I had trouble accessing some of the blogs on Day 1). I think I spent at least an hour each day looking at the blogs, and on some days it was several hours because I got caught up looking at all the fun projects each of the block contributors had previously worked on. I’m excited to get and use Vol 4 of 100 Blocks! Thanks for letting us all participate in the tour and get to know the block contributors better!!
I probably sent 4 hrs this week cruising all the blogs. It was so fun I hated when I would get to the end of the list each day. Thanks for the fun and a great magazine!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tour and the fantastic magazine. we love it.
OMG – This has been fun. I have spent at least 3 hours every morning checking out all of the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks and their designers and their blogs every day. I need to win this magazine in order to make all of these creative block designs. I have invested really hard work without your coffee mug to compensate myself for spending so much time on this computer looking and wishing. So, I guess I have spent a total of 15 hours this week just admiring and entering my name for a chance to win. What a greay way to spend your morning every day. Now, I will have block withdrawals. Really need to have that magazine.

I Love doing all the blog and This is always alot of fun seeing all the new blocks and looking at the hard work that everyoone take the time to put into to make this happen for all of us. It has been a fun week and lots of great ideas from eveyone! Thanks to all!
At least an hour each day. I’ve enjoyed the blocks, new and old blogs, all the designs and information out there. Lots of fun.
Not sure how much time quite a while each day!!!! thanks for the tour its great!
I’ve spent at least 5 hours on the blog tour – having such a wonderful time. Added a bunch of blogs to my favorites list. Looked at all the wonderful blocks and quilts. Thank you so much for this great giveaway and giving me a chance to win.
I have spent approximately 8 hours this week enjoying this blog tour. I’ve become a follower to many new blogs and really have enjoyed the tour. Thanks! I consider it time well spent.
I have spent about 10 hours on the blog tour. The blogs have been fantastic. I’ve seen so many new bloggers and have subscribed to many new feeds.
Love the RJR fabrics. They are some of my very favorites! I’ve enjoyed the blog tour this week.
I’ve spent about 2+ hours this week looking at all the great blog information. Thanks for doing this – it’s been a lot of fun seeing all the blocks and tips.
You mean I have to commit to writing how much time I “wasted” on the computer this week??? I have loved every minute of it…about 2-3 hours every morning! I love checking out all the blogs, seeing all the fresh inspirational ideas…and hating that the “bucket list” is growing exponentially! I hope there will be many more issues to add to the collection, for years to come, of course with a blog tour to match! And…I’m glad so far the bucket list is in my head and not on paper, but maybe that is why the memory comes and goes, ha ha!
RJR are some of my favorite fabrics
I’d say about 6.5 hours so far. (I’m a slow reader as I like to explore the blogs sometimes.
And, there is a couple of links that haven’t posted their blocks/info yet. So, it’d probably will go up to 7 hours total. 
Thank you for doing this blog hop! It’s the best one out of the ones I participated in.
I think I have spent an enjoyable 3 hours on the blogs this week. Yay me.
Well, every morning, with my cup of coffee, watching red leaves fall from the tree out my window, so I’m guessing a 1/2 hour everyday. At least. Thanks for all of the inspiration and a chance to win also. What could be better!
Maybe about 10 hours. 2 hours each day. It’s a great way to try to be quiet while I’ve got the sniffles and sneezes.
Whoa! What a question! Will anyone honestly admit how much time is used-up playing blogging games… hopping all over the blogosphere? I’ll say one hour, but I wouldn’t be surprised to know it’s more. I appreciate the chance to win your giveaway. Thank you.
I spent way too much time on the blog tour–and loved every minute of it! Everyone’s blogs are so inspiring! Thanks for the chance to win!
Pingback: 100 Blocks Blog Hop « Seams Sew Crazy
Great blocks and fun blogs!
That question is like asking how much time do you spend in the shower..it could be embarrassing to reveal the truth. I guess about 10 minutes each blog site and then time to ponder and think over the work , roughly 15-20 minutes per visit times 50 odd = it seems far too much and now I AM embarrassed. But the rewards are that I have learned so much and enjoyed and learned about people whose paths I may never have had the pleasure of crossing. …at least I do not shower that long.
I loved taking the tour! Probably spent an hour or two each day checking all the blogs out. This is a great idea and I hope you do it again next year. Thanks for all the fun!
I spent way more time on the blogs than I thought I would. Just loved learning about everyone and seeing their blocks. Maybe I will be lucky this time and be a winner.
Probably about two hours.
about 1 hr a day.
thank you for the chance to win.
WHAT keep track of time spent in Blogland? I would NEVER do that…because then I would realize that I spend WAY TOO much time absorbing EVERY word! LOVE these tours! Thanks so much for the chance to win you give away!! Can’t wait to get my hands on this magazine!! Take care!
Paulette
I’ve so enjoyed this blog tour! I’ve discovered (and signed up to) loads of new blogs and I guess I’ve spent about 30 minutes each day reading them all!
I spent probably about 10 minutes a day. (I am trying to stay off the computer, so in the past it would have been way more.)
Thanks for a fun week!
I feel like my time on the Blog Hop has been timeless, I didn’t count how long it took. I know I stayed up a little later than usual to post the first comments a few days online. I’d guess around 2 hours per day, since one blog lead to another and it takes time to comment, become a Follower and fill in all those Secret word things. Thank you for the great issue that is being Given away that keeps us up at night and online searching in the day.
How much time have I spent on this blog tour…..???? Probably way more than I should have! LOL BUT, I have loved every minute of it!!! SO many wonderful sites and so many beautiful ideas I’ve came across!! Isn’t the internet the most incredible thing!!!
Thanks for the fun!!
This is my first blog tour and I have really taken my time and enjoyed it. I would guess that I have spent at least 10 hours or more. It also is going to cost me a lot more time as I signed up to follow many of the blogs. Thank you for a great give away.
Easily 5-6 hours this week. Did it last year, too, and look forward to next year!
I spent at least 6 hours this week but the party will continue for many more hours as I explore the new blogs I found on this tour! It’s been great fun and inspiration, thank you!
Great blog tour! I’ve spent anywhere from a 1/2 hr to an hour each day. It’s so much fun to go to all the blogs and see their blocks. I especially liked going to Quilty Pleasures as there was always so much more there each day. Thank you!
I am estimating that I’ve been touring the Blog tour about 20-30 minutes every day. Thanks so much for such a fun week! And I look forward to seeing the new issue of 100 Blocks!
I’ve spent around an hour a day looking at all the wonderful blocks and enjoying everyone’s blogs. It’s been a lot of fun!
Love the block, Yvonne’s Mystery by Cinzia White!
Have had so much fun on the tour. Sorry to have it end. Finding new friends and ideas is always worth the time spent. Thankyou so much!
I probably spent 10 hours total on this tour. I really enjoyed seeing the designers sites and am now following a few more! Thanks for a chance to win
My answer is – too much time! At least several hours a day. Which means something had to give! Tomorrow is going to be a busy day! Laundry, vacuuming, dusting, grocery shopping, …..! Thanks so much for a wonderful week!
I think the answer to your question is “too much!” I spent my lunch time each day, and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d the hour quite a bit!
I spent 4 hours the first day, just enjoying each and every designer’s blog. I decided to do that each day. So that’s about 20 – 25 hours for me.
I’ve really enjoyed the blog tour! Though I think some of my comments weren’t able to post and with some frustration I would try a few times and give up. (I hope today’s post because I really want a mug!!) I spent a great deal of time checking out each block maker’s blog and even added my name in as a follower so I can return to see more. I’ve enjoyed “meeting” new bloggers too! I’ve spent way more time than I want to admit and still have today’s to visit as I write this. I’m guessing time invested has been a good 6 hours if not more during those frustrating times of trying to post.
Thanks for the chance to win!
The blocks are WONDERFUL!! Thanks for the chance to win.
Way too much time. Each blog has different requirements for entering. I’ve been at it today for at least an hour.
I would say that it took me about an hour each day for a total of 5 hours. I had a great time, found some new blogs to follow, and got lots of ideas and inspiration. Thanks for a great tour.
how much time I spent? Well, that would be 5 nights in front of the computer plus some stolen time at work,,, probably about 15 hours?? Enjoyed every minute!
I’ve really, really enjoyed the blogs this week. I’ve spent about 10 hours this week looking at the blocks and reading the blogs. I often found myself looking at all the other patterns, etc. on the individual blogs. I could spend many more hours looking.
Thank you for hosting the blog tour and for all the wonderful giveaways! I sure hope I get lucky
Linda in Southern Illinois
Since this is my first look, only a few minutes, but sure to extend to hours later! Love the blocks!
I have enjoyed the blogs this week. I have probably spent about 8 hours reading them this week.
I would say that I have spent about an hour each day. I really enjoy looking at each site and seeing each person’s work. It’s a great way to learn about quilters who are new to me.
About 1 hour. Wish it could have been more, but had to steal some time from big projects.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I definitely spent to much time in the world wide web, but
who cares ,o)
Bente – Germany
I like to QuiltBlog
I would think that I have spent about 3 hours or more viewing and reading the blogs. This is fun!
I spent around 3 hours enjoying the blog tour. Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win.
I lost track of how much time I spent – it’s so easy to get pulled in with all the beautiful designs!
I spend about two hours a day, lol.
Some sites I get lost in, checking out what else they have talked about and their other patterns so at least 10 hours.
Debbie
Bundle me baby.
This has been such a fun blog tour. I think I’ve spent at least an hour a day (5 hours oh my!) on this tour.
My internet connection is too slow this week, so I haven’t spent as much time as I normally would. I’ve only been able to spend maybe 3 hours total?
I am a subscriber and love getting my issues. I would guess I spent at least an hour each day of the blog hop. I signed up to get some of the blog feeds too. Thanks so much.
Oh my goodness! All I know is that I have spent WAY too much time blogging around but it’s been a lot of fun and inspiration.
Have really enjoyed this blog tour. Have checked it each day ususally spending about an hour per day. Many very good blogs to see.
i spent abut an hour and a half each day, love this tour!
I have spent about an hour each day, maybe a little more. It’s been fun looking at all the blogs such talented quilters! My guess is around 5 to 6 hours total.
I’d have to say I spent an hour each day looking at the blocks, commenting and going thru the designers’ blogs to see what else they were up to. I added at least 25 more blogs to my Google Reader! Thanks so much for the opportunity. It was a great week and I’m already looking forward to the Vol. 5 tour.
I have enjoyed every minute spent reading all the blog posts this week – I hate seeing it end!
You know how they say – time flies when you’re having fun! I know more time probably passed than I realized, but I’m going to say 3 to 4 hours, and I’m not done yet!
I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve spent this week. It’s probably been at least a couple of hours. I’ve made an attempt to read each blog and commented on most of them. Thanks for the chance to see so many interesting blocks and blogs.
The blogs have helped keep me sane as we are packing up to move house – selling the old & buying a new house is wonderful but oh my the packing up is horrendous, still there’s always a few minutes somewhere to sneak a quick look at good blogs or put a few stitches into a project (that I haven’t packedf that is!)
I spent about three hours touring the blog hop. So many talented designers and amazing blocks!
It’s taken an hour to an hour and a half each day – say 6 and 1/2 hours. That included adding some new blogs to my RSS feed reader. Thanks for exposing some inspiring designers! Thanks also for another chance to win volume 4.
Oh gosh, how about more than one hours but less than 12?
I don’t really want to say out loud that I spend so much time on the computer~ but it sure has been fun!! I love visiting new to me blogs. Thanks for the fun!
Okie dokie, Artichoke! Well, let me see….an hour plus each day except for Wed which was family busy so between 5 and 5.5 hours of pure unadulterated bliss! Thank you very much!!
this has been a very fun week. i estimate between 25 and 30 hours spent doing this. s
I’ve probably spent at least an hour each day. It depends on how far afield I get from the initial post:)
I spend more than an hour a day reading the blogs, but don’t tell my family!
Not as much time as I wanted to! Life and responsibilities keep getting in the way…
But this has been great fun.
I’m enjoying this blog tour and seeing all the different blocks. I don’t know how much time I spend looking at them and other blogs. Too much probably when I should be doing other things!
I’ve spent about 1/2 hour each day so about 2 1/2 hours. Thanks so much for a fun 2 1/2 hours and for the chances to win.
I just heard about this today from All About Applique. So I spent about an hour at it today. Thanks for the opportunity!
Lots of time I have spent on the blog tour this week. At least one hour every night but probably closer to 1H30 so that’s between 5 and 7.5H! BUT it doesn’t matter because I have discovered lots of wonderful blocks, which makes me very itchy to win this lovely magazine (or buy it if I am not lucky enough!) and I have discovered lots of interesting and great blogs. I am slow on a blog hop because I usually end up reading the post for the tour and a few posts before the tour as well, to make sure I am getting the most of the blog I am visiting! Anyway I’ll keep my fingers crossed now that around Monday I get a lovely birthday present!
I haven’t had much time for the tour, maybe only 1 hour…hoping to do more this weekend to catch up. Both of the special magazine offers are awesome…I want the quilt designs for myself but was thinking of a subscription gift for a friend…decisions, decsisions!
Just started! I’ll probably spend the rest of the afternoon 3 or 4 hours going around the blogs backtracking.
I’ve not got to spend as much time as I would have liked. Thanks for the chance!
Blog tour has been fantastic, fabulous way to showcase so many designers, both known and unknown to me. Great book to teach 2 daughter-in-laws who want me to teach them to both sew and quilt. Precious times today.
I have loved hopping around from blog to blog, and spent at least half an hour each day. I can’t wait to get a copy of the magazine and get sewing.
absolutely love all of todays blocks and all the week’s blocks in the blog hop….only wish it could go on forever!!!!
thanks for the fun…..I’ve enjoyed it immensely!
sugary hugs
WendyB :O)
have spent an enjoyable hour each of the last four days; today would make an approximate 5 hours for this blog hop.
Sometimes I think, “too many” because I’m here at the computer rather than quilting/sewing!! I’ve totally enjoyed this blog tour and it’s made me aware of the 100 Blocks magazine which is a real plus. But, to get to the question… I think I must have spent about 2 each day for a total of 10 fun and informative hours.
I’ve spent close to 5 hours–one each day.
Love to do this block tour. I spent about 3 hours checking out all the great blocks and blogs. Thanks for all the fun and chances to win.
I have loved reading the blogs and even ended up subscribing to the magazine! Great job!!!! Thank you for the time you spent posting!
I have had so much fun looking through each of these blogs! So many great ideas and an overload of creativity, I am ready for the weekend of quilting!!
I spent about an hour each day (total 5), except on Tuesday, each blog seemed to have something so fantastic, my husband said I was on there for ‘hours’!!
I enjoyed the tour. I think I spent 1/2 to an hour a day .. but it was fun and well worth it . Thanks for a fun time .
I probably spent a couple of hours each day looking at the all the different blogs. I have really enjoyed the blog tour.
Three hours of blog goodness this week.
My time has been limited this week, so I would guestimate 3 hours total.
Thanks for a great hop! I found some designer blogs I had never been to before!
There are so many wonderful blocks in each of these volumes! Haven’t spent much time yet, but expect to spend a couple of hours looking at everything.
I’ve spent at least an hour a day following the blog tour. I always enjoy each tour because it gives me an opportunity to be introduced to new blogs and designers. As usual I cannot wait to try some of the new blocks!
What a great week it’s been. I’m truly amazed and inspired. Each night I spent more than an hour going through the tour. I’ll say approximately five hours. It’s been great as well! Thanks for the giveaways.
missmoozie(at)gmail(dot)com
What a great tour this has been. I’ve learned about designers new to me, saw lots of eye candy and found some new and awesome blogs to follow. I’m not sure how long I spent on the tour. I visited each stop along the way. Sometimes I looked around and sometimes not. Probably between five and six hours. I loved seeing all the wonderful !Sew much creativity and talent. Thank you everyone that was a part of this to put on such a great tour. Great magazine and can’t wait to get my hands on my own copy!

Thanks for a fun week. So far, about 20 hours as always get vectored off reading the designer and sponsor blogs and returning to read again the next day. And, will be checking them out over the weekend as well.
Oh I spent at least 2 hours each day going to all the featured blockmakers sites. Such a great way to learn of new to me quilt designers and revisit ones that are now favorites. Great job Quiltmaker staff!!!
Gosh, I don’t know how much time I spent. 4-5 hours maybe? Time I probably should have spent sewing. LOL!
Not much time spent here as I only just found the blog tour..don’t know how I missed it
I really can’t say with any certainty how much time I’ve been here. Every time my “Quilty Pleasures Blog” is “lit up”, I have to go check and see what’s new. At least an hour a day, and probably more. Doing the blog tour is like reading the encyclopedia or dictionary (I know, those are ancient tomes), one thing leads to another. I was in Australia the other night, all with the click of the mouse. Love the variety, and each volume of “100 Blocks” is better than the last. Looking forward to the next one.
Oh probably about five hours. There is so much to look at. Thanks for a fun blog and block tour.
I probably spent about 3 hours total on the tour. It was great!
Gosh, I think it was an hour or so a day for me so between 5 and 6 hours total. What fun I had though so thank you!!
I’d guess 5 hours this week. I love the laundry dress block, too! Thanks for the giveaway!
I did an hr each day- and today I did two!! thanks for the great blog tour – I always find new sites and learn new things! It is very appreciated.
I think I spent about 3 hours on the blog tour and found some new blogs I really liked. There were so many wonderful blocks.
I’ve been on the blog hop for 1 1/2 hrs. tonight alone! So many great blocks on so many great blogs, they’re so much fun to read. I’ve probably spent 6 hr. on the blog tour. Thanks for a great week!
I probably spent a couple hours each day, visiting & exploring the different blogs. It’s been fun. Thanks
Probably an hour, which is why I haven’t been able to enter all the giveaways. But, it was all the time I had and maybe I will get lucky. Thanks for the giveaway chances.
Oh, this is just great. Nobody told me there was going to be a quiz at the end! I would have to estimate somewhere around 7 hours; I would have spent more but I had to work two of the days and spent one day out of town. I hope you don’t lose probability points for guessing!
probably not that long, I’ve been saving the posts for later consumption so maybe about 10 minutes per post.
This was such a lot of fun…went to every single sight and enjoyed meeting so many creative folks…

about 3 hours
Hmmmm…I’ve probably spend a couple of hours this week reading it…
I would guesstimate I spent an hour a day = 5 hours this week on the blog hop. So completely worth my time, for I met lots of new bloggers and have been hugely inspired by blocks and process ideas!
The quick answer is not as much time as I would like because my computer time has been work related. Now I am finished my work I expect I will spend a couple of hours checking out some of the blogs on this tour. Thanks for hosting the tour and for sharing such nice fabrics and a magazine. Your winners will be thrilled.
Regards,
Anna
Are you kidding? How am I supposed to keep track of all those lovely hours I spent drooling over those blocks????? I would guess about 10-12 hours, maybe more! Thank you so much for putting on the Blog Tour – it is SEW MUCH FUN!!!! Of course, it would be even MORE fun if I won a mug and other wonderful stuff (hint, hint, hint!!!)
I’ve loved following the Blog tour. Think I’ve spent about an hour per day or a little more! Soon adds up. So between 5-10 hours. Oh dear! LOL.
AWESOME blog tour for Volume 4! I found the quilters blogs a bit more informative this time about their blocks and more. (OR maybe it feels that way since I am now doing quilting rather than studying and reading which is what I was doing during the last blog tour and I may understand more now)
I am sure in all the reading of the new blogs I found during this tour and those I had already visited before and wandering around the blogs as I did, it was a lot of time. In all honesty, I have no doubt the time I spent this tour is no less than 12 1/2 hrs and possibly more if you count the emailing back and forth with some of those who created their blocks. Quite a few were awesome and right on top of their comments and emailed me to thank or comment back regarding what I posted on their blog. That was really great of all that did that as I’m sure they spent a lot of time doing so.
Thank you for such an awesome tour and another great 100 Blocks issue that I’m ready to have in my hands NOW and yet I have another 4 days before it’s supposed to be hitting the stands.
At least an hour a day. This is my time for me! So much fun.
I spent several hours per day the first couple of days as I would explore the blogs and web sites. Then I went to just leaving a comment and going on to the next one-wasn’t getting ANY sewing done! Plus, kept seeing more projects that looked like fun and I have enough things in process!
I would say I have spent at least 1/2 hour a day on the tour so 2 1/2 hours this week. Thanks for this great tour, it was fun!
I decided I needed to catch up on my Christmas crafting so haven’t been doing much computer time. Unfortunately I’m late on the blog hop
So this time around I haven’t spent much time…….yet. Do plan on doing some catch up!
Some really lovely blocks. I love Cinzia’s most, lovely subtle and crisp look, love her use of batiks.
I could only spend a small amount of time during the week, but now I am trying catch up ;D
I probably spent at least three to four hours on it during the week. I wish that I could have spent more time on it but I was very busy this week. I enjoyed reading the blogs that I did get to.
It was a great blog tour. I probably spent at least 3 hours this week (ack! Don’t tell my boss!)
Easily spent over an hour a day looking at the blogs. Couldn’t tear myself away from all the creative people. Gorgeous patterns, fabric and stories and tutorials. Can’t wait to see if I won a magazine, if not I’m out the door to buy one. Sure want to sew several of those blocks. Thanks for the giveaway.
I probably spent a couple hours this week – but I also missed the start of the blog hop. I enjoyed visiting each blog and seeing all the wonderful blocks that were published in volume 4. Thanks for a chance to win this giveaway!
I missed a day, but spent close to 2 hours checking these blocks out. What a great chance to see new blogs and find new favorites to follow!
About three and one half hours. Enjoyed every minute!!
Love the fall colors of the RJR fabrics, the rickrack closeline is adorable, I spent approx 10 hours or better on this hop thanks for it, have really enjoyed it….
A couple hours. Would like to spend more, but…
It has been an absolutely wild week. I’ve spent about two hours each day on the blog hop, but would love to have had more time to spend. Loved visiting each designer’s page and getting to know them. Again, thanks for a fabulous event! The 100 Blocks blog tour is one of my favorites! Have a great weekend!
I absolutely love the Little Laundry block! Just adorable! Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the magazine. What inspiration!!! Maybe I’ll win a copy before I get one picked up. Thanks for the blog hop. It was so much fun seeing what the block designers came up with and how they came up with them.
I know I spent about 45 minutes to an hour everyday one blog leads to another.. I probably bookmarked 95% of the blogs listed this was a blast. Thank you I was a winner already without winning the magazine. Of course I am still hoping I am a winner……
Well about 3 to 4 hours. I go to each blocg. If I like what I see then I spend more time there. I have loved every minute of it!
I probably spent about 4 hours and got to visit some blogs that were new to me, thanks so much for the giveaway and fun!
Thank you so much for another wonderful 100 block magzine blog tour. It’s so much fun to see the new blocks and here the hows and whys behind the designers inspiration for their block. It means so much more than just buying the magazine and paging through it at home. I spent probably 5-6 hours this week checking out the blogs and commenting. It always energizes me to get into my sewing space and get busy.
I have popped in to have a look in all my spare moments:-) All the blocks are just wonderful again. I have thoroghly enjoyed both the blogs and the inspirations behind the creating of all these wonderful blocks.
Thanks so much for bringing this wonderful tour to us.
It took awhile to visit all the new-for-me blogs. Enjoyed the several hours of quilts pleasure.
I probably spent at least 3 hours so far this week. I had two quilting classes this week and wasn’t able to participate for 2 days but I will try to catch up tonight. Thanks for all of the great blocks and giveaways.
I probably spent a 1/2 hour a day if my husband asks but it’s probably more than that! Love to win! Thanks for the chance!
about 30 minutes total
oh my – I’ve spent at least one hour daily, if not more. Thanks for all the fun!
So much beauty in one post! I love everything. I’d love to own that fabric.
I just love these fabrics. The colors of fall make me feel warm and loved. I hope I win this collection!
This was my first blog tour and I am very happy to have found your site. I will be a constant visitor.
Oh, my, what a loaded question….does that count all the trips to the coffeepot and secret stash of chocolate to enjoy while I’m drooling over the featured blogs and blocks? I’d say prob. an hour and a half each day. (During my 4 yr old’s nap). I’m going to have blog tour withdrawl come Monday naptime!
Keep track of the time while blog hopping? More time than I should, but I have to admit not quite enough to read every single one. (Blush.) The ones that I have read though have been good reads, some with good ideas to add to my “maybe someday in the future” notebook. Thanks!
