Star-Crossed is by Theresa Eisinger, who was on the QM staff for a few decades. She designed many, many QM quilts in that time, and now has a new career in nursing. We miss her.

The color I would shop for is purple. Today I enjoyed Denise Russart’s block.
The color is orange!
the star crossed block with the very deco like style is just beautiful! Love the fabric
I’ll look for the color orange; I particularly like looking at various patterns from the manufacturer’s; tells me about things I don’t get to see out here in the
‘country.’
I’ll look for the orange–sure wish I could find these magazines locally. What I like about today’s blog list is–the fact that there IS a list. It is so much fun to go through each link and get so inspired. Thank you for all the fun.
1. Orange of course.
2.It’s great visiting new blogs and old favorites, but I especially liked Jaybird Quilts.
The colour to look for is ORANGE. As to the second question what is there not to like? The variety is terrific. I am drawn to geometric designs. Jennifer Chiaverini showed her block in a large range of colour options, Julie Herman’s robot block would appeal to my grandsons. I loved it all. Sadly only one more day to go and then hope the magazine makes it safely to Canada. Joanne
Orange!
I really enjoyed the tip about ironing your fabric on freezer paper to make a label and running it through your printer. Easy peasy!
I’ll look for orange on the top of course. I liked pretty much everything on the blog tour today and all the other days. Probably my favorite thing is seeing the blocks with different layout and color options like Lee had today at FreshlyPieced.
1. I’ll definitely be looking for ORANGE! I already have next week’s purchase date circled on my calendar, and I put the mag on my grocery list as a “must have!”
2. faves today are Jennifer’s blog with her classic block, and PamKittyMorning just because she always makes me smile.
Orange of course. I love to read Judy’s and Denise’s blogs. They make me smile!

2.) I enjoy looking at everything and trying out my favorite block patterns.
I will look for the ORANGE issue (trick question?). I visited several blogs but found a block I fell in love with, One Way Home by Judy Laquidara. The colorway she used is one of my favorites, purples. I have a feeling that this could be more than one way home. LOL!
the color is green with brown, and like all the blogs, just great fun looking at them all.
The color I would look for is orange.
I enjoyed looking at the different bundles of fabric, but I think most of all, the different blocks made by the others. All beautiful.

1. Orange
2. Lee’s Cathedral Square block
ORANGE!!!! I’m a big Judy L. fan and love the One Way block. Star-Crossed looks lovely. What to select to work on next is a big challenge when given so many fantastic choices.
If I’m not lucky enough to win a copy I’ll be looking for the magazine with an Orange top. The block I’m ready to run buy fabric for is the block by Pam Vieira-McGinnis. Thanks for the opportunity. This appears to be a magazine full of possibilities.
I’ll be keeping my eye out for ORANGE!
I am very excited to see Helen Stubbings name on the list of bloggers and blockers for today as I live in Tasmania too! I spent a lovely day with Helen as the tutor last year. I have all 4 of the other 100 block magazines, shall keep my eye out for this one for sure!
I will look for orange! I really liked the rabbit block done in wool appliqué or redwork best!
Orange, orange, orange – oh my gosh, now I HAVE to retire to make all the quilts these blocks have inspired. My favorites today are several – Judy’s One Way Home, Peg’s Pinwheel 9 Pathc, Denise’s Pinwheel Posty, Monique’s Diamond Eyes and Lee’s cathedral squares. Hm – a sampler quilt with all the favs from the book?
Orange would be the color if I were shopping!! I do love the intricate and interesting block by Theresa Eisinger. The fabric colors and design of Marian Mapes is what I am really drawn to with all the teals as I am a crazy teal blues fan. I love all the Troy Riverwoods collection. Thanks for sharing all these things.
I am on a teal streak……

Orange, I love orange, we even painted our car orange, lol.
I loved Hugs n Kisses, she is sharing a wonderful heart block.
Orange, orange, orange!
I enjoyed visiting all the blogs to see who the designers are and seeing their blocks. Has given me inspiration.

Orange you glad I said Orange. I’m loving al the blocks in the new issue hard to say. so far a stand out for me is Lee’s cathedral Square.
I love all of the colors in the Troy and Northcut fabrics. A sampler of all of the blocks would be great to hang in our local quilt shop to inspire all and give new ideas of different quilts and projects to make. Make lots of different blocks and hang around with the little clothes pins. So cute!
ORANGE of course

I’m having trouble commenting on Jennifer Chiaverini’s blog – it won’t let me register.
Okay, so since my eyes are barely open I didn’t read the directions properly (the cause of heavy use of the seam ripper at times).
1. My favorite colour is green, so they are alway talking to me. I have to force myself to walk away from the green and exploy the rest of the crayon/quilters box.
2. What I enjoyed the most was displaying of the block in multiple colour selections and various layouts they can be used in quilts and runners. The display of diversity.
Fabric and patterns. What more could you ask for?
1. When you shop for this issue, what color will you look for? My favorite color: orange.
2. What did you enjoy on today’s blog list? All of it. Hard to choose.
1. Orange
2. I loved looking at the variety of blocks — they’re all so different! Amanda Murphy’s block really appealed to me and I may just have to buy her “bejeweled” pattern. Judy Judy Laquidara’s block is really nice! And, I love the sunbonnet sue’s variation. Rainy Days I think it’s called. I cannot remember the blog or author! Bad ol’ me. But, it stands out in my mind . Cute little girl with umbrellas, dark raindrops, and a house.
1. Orange
2. My favorite today was Jennifer Chiaverini’s Loyal Daughter block. Piecing is my thing, so I’m drawn to the classic-looking blocks. However, I’d probably do it in bright colors.

Gee — do you think I might look for ORANGE?! With so many blogs to read, it is really hard to choose a favorite, but, since I read Judy L.’s every day, I would choose her — and I really like the block she designed.
I will look for orange! I have really enjoyed being introduced to new blogs of such creative people.
The color orange issue and liked Marian Maples we can do so much with HST, fun.
Another great set of blocks. I’m so enjoying visiting all these new to me blogs.
Oh boy, do I love the color Orange!!!!
What I like about the list is that there are blogs on there that I did know about that I will add to my list of blogs to follow. Less than a year ago I lived in the dark ages and didn’t know what a blog was. I had heard of them but little did I know that blogs and Pinterest would be my new best friends. I have learned so very much from each an every blog I visit, new techniques, etc and met so many new friends. Needless to say, at first when I did hear of blogging, I thought it was for younger people crabbing about things but now I know it is for me to have a great time and learn!!!
Thank you!
sandyb720 at gmail dot com
Orange!! Judy pointed that out, as well! I loved reading Judy L’s blog, as well as Jennifer Chiaverini’s use of her fabrics in her block. I loved that quite a few of today’s bloggers used alternate colors and showed layouts. That really helps me see the design possibilities.
I love the color teal. And Justquiltin with Denise Russart’s designs would be perfect to highlight that color.
Orange of course.
Today had such a variety of blogs and ideas. Nice job.
Orange is the color to look for. I was excited to read about Monique Dillard’s new ruler that will be premiering at market. I love her rulers.
I will look for Orange on the top. I liked so many of the blocks. It’s always hard to choose just one, so maybe I’m a sampler quilt maker by nature. There were a couple of paper pieced blocks that I liked, especially 100 % Chance of Rain, but I have not done paper piecing.
If I don’t win an issue I will shop for orange.
I love seeing all the different versions of the blocks done up.
1. The color is my favorite – orange
2. Thanks for the link to Northcott. I enjoyed seeing the different combo’s of the blocks

I like seeing new blocks…

While I normally wouldn’t be looking for orange, for this I certainly would! I love that there is an opportunity to discover new designers and to visit with designers you love, like Pam and Paula.
I’d be looking for orange! I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful blocks. And it is awesome when the designer showed different variations of the block on a quilt! I really liked Cathedral Square at Freshly Pieced. Very cool block!
Thanks for a chance to win! 
This looks like it might be one of the best issues yet!
When shopping for QM 100 blocks, I would look for the Orange issue.

I will look for orange. Sistersquiltingtrunk has a great giveaway and I love their block.
I will be looking for the color orange. I really enjoyed the sewhooked blog with all the paper piecing patterns. I will tell my friends about that blog.
It’s the color of the year – orange!! I enjoyed seeing all the new blocks and how some designers showed so many neat ways to use color in them or arrange them. It’s amazing how one block can look so different.
Orange. Just like the previous days, my favorite thing about the blogs involved is how diverse the patterns and techniques are! You’ve got modern, traditional, applique, wonky, paper-pieced. You really have it all. Every day. Love it!
Orange! I love the links to all the designers. So many gorgeous blocks.
When I shop for this issue, I will look for ORANGE. I love the bright colors, especially in Amanda Murphy’s Veranda block. It’s unique and looks great on the quilt.
I will be looking for an ORANGE issue. I also love reading all the blogs on tour!

I will be looking for the color orange.
On today’s blog list I enjoyed Hugsnkisses site with her entry in the 100 blocks magazine.
Orange please!
thanks for the chance to win! blaukat@hickorytech.net
Starcrossed looks like a great block! Good for a “manly” quilt or one with an Occidental flair–sort of a mosaic feeling.
Orange!
I enjoyed sewhooked.com as I just getting into paper piecing
The colour I would look for is Orange . Great variety of quilt blocks I am sure to try !!
Orange!!!!!! What a fun cheery color!
I loved the linked in block, looks like a fun and easy pattern, with lots of color options. Orange perhaps?
I’ll be looking for ORANGE.
Today there were a number of blocks and layouts I like.
Orange, of course! (Now I want to pull out my other issue and see what color each of those are!) I liked having Judy Laquidara included in this issue. She does a great job of designing whole quilts and the one with her block is terrific!
Orange! It is the color of the year!
I loved the quilt Lee of Freshly Pieced made with her block.
I will look for orange & I really liked visiting the different blogs.
1. I always am drawn to plum colours.
2. Loved the Split Chain block.
I would look for teal and aqua fabric. there were many blocks I wanted to make.
Orange, of course! Although I have to say that I did not notice a color scheme with the previous issues (I have 2 through 4).
My favorite today was Cathedral Square, by Lee Heinrich of Freshly Pieced. Looks so complex but is probably very easy to chain piece for a quick (and scrappy) top!
Many shades of Blue and Brown’s
I’m positively looking for the ORANGE issue. The thing I am most enjoyed for all of these blogs is the variety of styles and fabric choices of the blocks. Some intricate piecing, some not so intricate, or some gorgeous applique you can find whatever your quilting hands desire in this issue as highlighted by the blogs. Thanks for bringing them all together for us.
Orange of Course
HOw can I choose just one item – I enjoyed it ALL!
looking for ORANGE!
i love reading judy laquidaria’s blog, patchwork times, and expecially enjoyed her post today featuring her entry.
Oh gosh, there are so many great blocks today and so far this week that I’m not sure picking just one color would be enough. I’ve loved so many of the different colors. The one that really stands out to me though is the lighter green and pink from he block on Sisters Quilting Trunk blog. Their block used Sweetwater fabrics and I might want to get some of those colors as they work so well together.
I realy loved Monique Dillards’ blog today. She had just SO much to say on her blog and I can’t wait to see more about her new ruler. It surely appears to be one anyone would love using.
Orange can bring a real sparkle to a quilt. Especially if paired with a little Purple, its opposite on the color wheel
I’m looking for orange.
I love all the variety in the blocks. Plus it was fun to visit blogs I had never seen before.

I’ll be looking for teal. On blog no2 I enjoyed seeing the same block in different colors and tilted or twisted.
1. When you shop for this issue, what color will you look for? Orange of course!
2. What did you enjoy on today’s blog list? Judy L’s block is amazing! The split chain block is very nice also.
Orange would be the color on my radar when I was searching the shelves for this year’s volume of 100 quilt blocks . What I liked from this list of blogs was Denise Russart Block pinwheel posy and her 2″ square tip . I can see me making this one soon .
I will look for ORANGE! I love orange!
And I also love those cute little baby finches on Mary Andra Holmes blog!
I will look for the Orange book and I really LOVE Star-Crossed by Theresa Eisinger. I’d make it in Peaches and Aquas!!
Orange is the color. I just love jumping to all these new to me blogs.
I will look for ORANGE!
And I had a wonderful time on the bloglist, but especially on Jennifer Chiaverini’s blog. I am totally crazy about her books and quilts! She is an inspiration to me.
I will be looking for the orange border. I have way too many ideas for quilts now!!
We head for this years signature color Orange! Im still in love with the very first block I looked at, the kitty in the basket!
Orange, of course!!
I love the blocks you posted today! I would love to try the “Split Chain” and “Linked In” blocks, mostly to see how each will look grouped together and in different arrangements. I also enjoyed going to the other blogs and seeing how different colors can change the look of the same block. Thanks for the giveaway! Good luck, Everyone! 
Orange (and don’t ya’ know my horoscope said “orange” was my lucky color today!)
I actually visited every blog on today’s list. What I really like was seeing the various blocks presented in finished quilts (or quilt designs). And, I just enjoyed finding other quilting sites to keep in my ever-growing list.
Orange! A very pretty color! Sure have enjoyed seeing all the new blocks. Would love to have the new 100 blocks book. Looks Great!
I will be looking for orange! Liked Denise Russart’s explanation of how she created her block.
the new 100 blocks is orange!!!
O R A N G E what does that spell orange all the way baby!!! I really enjoyed looking at Amanda murphy designs it was like being in a candy store so exciting and so much fun!! I enjoyed seeing so many new fresh designs not just the same old cookie cutter patterns and colors, so happy and fresh I am excited to get my sewing on.
First is Orange. Second Gosh I loved so many but Jennifer Chiaverini and Monique Dillard were my favorite today.
I will be looking for the color orange!! As for my favorite, that is really hard to pick. There were so many beautiful blocks that I liked today. If I had to narrow it down to one, I think I would select Pinwheel Posey by Denise at Justquiltin. Thanks for organizing such a great blog hop, and also for another chance to win!
The color I would be looking for is a coral — I would consider anything from the lightest to the darkest shades — and the split chain block is so impressive = Thanks !)
I will look for ORANGE. I like seeing the bloggers ideas and then how else their blocks could be arranged. In many cases, so many looks with just one block.
Day 4 complete and excitedly waiting Day 5. There’s been lots of great designs and some great blog posts this week that’s kept me somewhat away from my sewing, but I’m loving it all. Orange and #469, Cathedral Square by Lee answer your two questions. I’ll admit though that the second question was much harder to come up with. Looking forward to Volume 5! Sandi (nice job Diane getting this all to come together)
Orange is the color of the day!
I especially liked the blog for Mary Andra-the sisters are very generous. But so is everyone else!
Orange! So many great sites. Want to go back & look more at a few especially the beautiful embroidery on Hugs & Kisses. Thanks for the tour & a chance to win.
I’m watching for orange! The red work bunny is grabbing me today. Of course my favorite part of the blog is meeting new people, being inspiried and enjoying new blogs!
orange
i really enjoyed the Easter Table Topper from Amanda Murphy’s website!
I’d look for orange. For sure.
I SO need that Ecolux Light I learned about on Judy’s Patchwork Times blog.
The color is orange. I liked alot of different things on the blogs; especially Lee’s Cathedral Square Block and thought the Wonky Robot block of Julie’s on Jaybird Quilts was really cool. Checking out these blogs has been really cool; except I’m spending way more time on the computer than working on my quilt.
Orange is the oone!
If I don’t win a copy, I’ll be shopping for the orange edition. Today I liked Julie Herman’s fussy cut Robox #434. Thanks for the chance to win.

#1. Orange is the color I will be looking for.
#2. I loved all the blocks featured in todays blogs and I learned so many things. I especially liked the Dresden Plate block made by Helen Stubblings at hugsnkisses. Dresden Plate is one of my favorite blocks to make and I loved her take on it. Hers was really beautiful. All of the blogs have been fun to visit. The ladies are very talented and inspiring. I am happy that I got a chance to visit.
I will look for orange, for certain! I really liked seeing all the different results from rearranging block placement today…there really are endless possibilities with quilting.
Thanks for the give away. My favorite color right now is green and there are too many great blocks to pick a favorite

Orange and purple seem to be the colors, but I have been using these for a while and now am looking for torquoise.

What I enjoy most about the blog hops is just seeing all the different blocks each designer comes up with.
The color is ORANGE and I bought my copy today. I can’t wait to read it tonight!

Thank you for the opportunity to win!
The color to look for is orange. I really liked all the blocks but one of my favorite was the block by Judy Laquidara.

1. Look for the color orange
2. My favorite thing about today’s tour was discovering some new-to-me blogs.
The Orange of Vol. NO. 5! today I’m fascinated with Denise Russart of Justquiltin. Her block was so interesting. I loved the settings she showed when using it differently, it was just fascinating. I’ve added 3 more to my blogroll and I’m inching towards too many! I’ve already had a couple of others from today on there. I really want to know when Eileen Fowler names her quilt! (I don’t need a magazine, I’m a lucky winner of one but wanted to comment and put my name in the hat for other prizes)
Love that “Linked In” block
Orange would be the color and I hope I win one so I don’t have to go shopping—it takes time away from quilting. LOL

I will shop for the orange copy. I have really enjoyed visiting all of the blogs. Today I liked seeing the different layouts for quilts and different fabric choices the designers showed. Thanks for the chance to win.
Orange is not my favorite color, but this time I will make a concession. I like hanging out at Lee’s blog. her cathedral quilt was very pretty and quite do able. I can see it being very scrappy.
Orange for the magazine, Star Crossed is a lovely, beautiful block, and I want to make something with that pattern, for sure!
When I shop for the magazine I will look for the color orange! I thought that Denise Russart’s block was very creative and I appreciate her explanation of how she pieced it.

I most enjoyed Judy Laquidara’s block.
I’m shopping for Orange – like UT Longhorn orange! And loved all the blogs today but Judy Laquidara is my favorite.
I’m feeling particularly springy this year, so probably pink and green–definitely not my usual colours. The block I liked the best (of a lot of truly beautiful blocks) is the Cathedral Square by Lee Heinrich.

I will look for the orange quiltmaker 100 blocks. I really enjoy visiting all the blogs to see all the different color choices and layouts, that helps me to learn new possibilities.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I love these magazines … great, fresh new ideas !
Love the colour orange – even after having had an orange shag rug 40 years ago!
Well, I’m going to look for a tangerine tango magazine, and what did I enjoy? I got so lost in all the goodies–”Ears” Some Bunny was fun, lots of ideas for Quilts of Valor, and I’m most impatient to get started. The design wall is naked and is just staring at me.
And I’m wondering why the links didn’t come up at all on my Quilty Pleasures Blog button, and I had to go looking for them. I’ll know better in the morning.
Orange. I read Judy Laquidara’s blog every day.
1. Orange! One of my current favourites
2. I like Pam KittyMorning’s block. Simple, tasteful and fresh.
I love this new orange book. Would love to win it but if I don’t then I guess I will have to buy it.
My favorite block was the Loyal Daughter Block and Diamond Eyes.
Many great blocks in this book.
Wish I had more time to play with my Electric Quilt Maker 6. sigh.
IN todays blog I really enjoyed the block by Kitty Morning. It seems very fresh and could be made with almost anything.
The colors I would be looking for would most likely be batiks in an overdyed dark green shade and maybe some lighter batiks in yellow/lime. It looks like a color combination I need to try.
I would be looking for the colour – orange. I have found the tour really inspiring. The variety of designs is amazing and today’s favourite is from Jaybird quilts.
I would look for the colour orange.
Today, as all the other days, I have really enjoyed visiting new blogs and reading more about the design processess.
I adore the patch from helen stubbings it is so pretty in pastels,
as for the colour for this issue Orange of course, although I’ll have to wait for ages before the issue will reach my UK stockist.
definitely orange. just perfect for a South Pacific country like New Zealand
beautiful funky, quirky warm and sunny orange!
I’m still hoping for this AWESOME magazine! I will definitely look for orange, but very seldom ever in fabrics!
I would be shopping for the ORANGE issue of course! I was so pleased to see a wool block in Paula Stoddard’s blog! I love using wool in my blocks and wish you had a whole section in the 100 Blocks that featured blocks using wool!
I’m a green fan. Great tutorials at Freshly Pieced!
I will look for orange! I enjoyed all of the posts today – especially Amanda Murphy. Thanks for a fun blog tour!
1. Colour to look for – Orange
2. All Buttoned Up – Amanda Murphy’s block – is really appealing. I’d choose to make it in citrus colours – including, of course, Orange !
1. The color is Orange.
2. Getting to visit all the designers blogsites and peeking into the story behind the block and the person who created it.
Orange of course!
I enjoyed the amazing paper pieced block of little Sue…can’t wait to sew one!
1-I will look for the orange issue of course! (but I’m also dying to get my hands on Vol 1 and 2, as well!)
2–I really enjoyed Cathedral Windows and the diamonds ones. And of course, I love all of Jennifer Chiaverini’s blocks (she’s my hero!) and her books. I’m working on my version of her Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler.
So glad I joined the blog hop because I’ve been so inspired, seen so many beautiful fabrics, and the blocks and creative layouts. I feel like I’ve made new friends, and I ‘, inspired to start my own blog just for my quilting and sewing!
I’ll look for orange. I liked Jennifer’s block.
Orange!
I loved many of the blocks but I think Lee’s was my fav.
1 I’ll be looking for the Orange on top.
2 I’m in awe of the variety… Some Bunny & Cathedral Square are now on the Bucket list
I’ll be looking for orange of course. It’s fun to see the many different layouts the block designers come up with. Sometimes it’s hard to believe they are working with the same block. Jennifer Chiaverini’s block was quite interesting as was Julie Herman’s.
Orange. That makes it easy. Elm creek quilts. Great layout
I will look for orange! I really enjoyed seeing Marian Mapes’ block. She used batiks (my favorite) in my favorite color combination and, best of all, she lives near me, is in my guild and I’ve taken several classes from her. She’s the greatest!
Orange! I especially appreciated how many of the designers show their block in projects, or an entire quilt. I love getting ideas of how to use the block in combination with others.
Orange i think….looks like that’s the header of the new book. I’d love to win. And i always enjoy Amanda Murphy.
Looking for orange AND love the list of other bloggers to visit!! Thank you!
Orange is the color of this issue and the color I’m going to look for.
And how can I pick my fav blog,,, they were all my favorite!
But I double love Jaybird quilts
I’ll look for orange! I liked the Ambrosia Photo Album linked to Amanda Murphy’s blog.
I would go a little off my comfort colors and go with the color feeling “sunny.” Depending on the day I’m looking this could be in the yellows and/or oranges. I would probably end up pairing them with a blue of some sort. I enjoyed Denise Russart’s Pinwheel Posey. I loved how by changing the amount or placement of the colors the whole quilt layout is changed.
I will look for orange, or, “caramel.” I especially enjoy when the block designers show the block in several settings.
I’ll look for the color orange, and I really liked the great selection of designers!
1. Orange
2. I loved the All Buttoned Up block by Amanda Murphy, so cute with all the yo-yos
I am looking for Orange and I liked Lee’s Cathedral Square block
Iwill look for Orange and I liked the Split Chain. I always enjoy these issues.
Well of course I’m looking for the color ORANGE when I shop for the newest 100 Blocks Magazine! I really enjoyed visiting Open Gate Quilts blog. I love Monique Dillard’s block and I so admire her rulers and the fantastic shortcuts that can be done with them. I don’t own any yet, but maybe someday! Soon?
I’d be looking for Clemson colors, baby!!! Orange!! Go Tigers! (ehem…sorry). From Day 4′s list some of my favs are Pam Vieira-McGinnis, who IS all that and a bag of chips with her wonderful personality that permeates through her blog…and Julie Herman at Jaybird Quilts who always seems to have her finger on the pulse of her blog readers…she does modern, traditional with a twist, and her robot block is to die for
I will look for orange of course. I liked all the blocks today but Jennifer’s May Showers was my favorite.
Orange, of course! I loved that a lot of my regular bloggers that I read were on that list today! It’s fun seeing all their unusual blocks.

I like Theresa’s STAR-CROSSED BLOCK.
I also love the LADY BUG BLOCK with the background fabric with the names of flowers. Where can I buy this fabric? Please do tell…
And I really, really, really want one of those gorgeous mugs of yours!!!!!
My favorite colors are green and brown and you can know this by looking at my stash. However, Susan Stewart says, “buy everything you see” in her workshop. I must get out of my box with new colors and textures. Great 100 Blocks book. Enjoying the blocks you display.
