If you’re not familiar with blog tours, this post is for you. Quiltmaker hosts a blog tour twice each year leading up to the release of our 100 Blocks series of issues. During the blog tour, readers visit our blog (Quilty Pleasures) each day, at any time it’s convenient.
Rose Bud Reel by Sue Garman appeared in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 4.
We’ll show a few blocks from the upcoming 100 Blocks Volume, and we’ll link to the blogs of about a dozen block designers, like this:
1. Anita Grossman Solomon: makeitsimpler.blogspot.com
You have the fun of visiting as many of those blogs as you wish. On each one there is another chance to win a copy of the issue! Just follow the instructions for your chance to win.
We have lots of giveaways during the blog tour. We send lucky winners copies of the issue, fabric, books, patterns and other quilty fun.
At the end of the week, we give away one very large prize: the Great Big Bundle. Just follow the instructions each day to be entered in the various giveaways.
The link lists will stay up on Quilty Pleasures, so if you run out of time, you can come back later. And 100 Blocks Volumes continue to be available in paper or electronic form, so you can decide to purchase them at any time.
You can get in on even more fun by “Liking” us on Facebook, enjoying our Pinterest boards or following us on Twitter.
We’ll look forward to seeing you during our next blog tour, which begins Monday, April 30 here on Quilty Pleasures.

This is my first time doing or even going to a blog. Pretty exciting! Thank you for setting it up and making it available to everyone!
So when does it start? Is it on Monday, April 29 or Tuesday April 30. The information above states Monday, April 30. That’s impossible. You must have been looking at the wrong calendar.
