    cool beans! Quilting and coffee, perfect combo!

  4. Paula Pardue says:

    I love how a quilt block is seen differently by different people, the way color is used, the way texture is introduced. I guess that is what makes an individual, well individual – and unique! Thanks for the chance.

  5. Kay Pucciarelli says:

    I enjoy visiting their blogs and seeing different types of quilts. I’m a traditional type, patchwork, but I still like to see the modern quilts and applique quilts. Who knows what I might want to do later? They are all inspirational!

  16. I have enjoyed (so far) the tip on the russian nesting doll pattern, and how they drew the face on with the glad press and seal… I thought that was too clever, and allows you to get it on there “right” before taking a needle to it, then actually doing it right and tear away the plastic wrap. I’m LOVING all the blocks AND the great giveaways!!!

  100. Michelle Miller says:

    It’s very difficult to single out a single blog. I have enjoyed every single one I’ve opened. I enjoyed the stories, articles, tips and the photographs … Oh the photographs I love them. They are inspiring. For a novice like me it sets the bar to what I can still do and achieve.

  101. Alicia says:

    I am new to quilting and this site is an inspiration to me to get going and learn how to quilt. I have sewn since I was in high school and am ready to start a new direction in my life and that I can express myself with different fabric combinations. The coffee cup would just be an added inspiration by looking at the blocks on it and trying to make my own.

  140. Jamie says:

    I have enjoyed reading about the creative process that the designers used to make their blocks.

  141. Marge in Louisiana says:

  157. Mary Jo Baird says:

    I am enjoying meeting all these designers and getting acquainted with them through their blogs! Oh, how I would love to have one of those mugs! I am so particular about the mugs I drink my coffee from-they have to be a “certain type” (which translates to quilty by the way) and this mug definitely fits the bill!!! Oh how I want one!!

  158. Colette says:

    I love reading Bonnie’s blog and how to make the best out of what scraps we have down in our stash. I have used several of her ideas to incorporate into a quilt and look forward to many more! Scrap squads rock! BUT…they rock even better when combining them with 100 Quilt Blocks books! It’s like a 2 for 1 sale everyday. Having the mug (and the book) would be a double treat!

  159. Julie Dunn says:

    What a great give away! Hope I win!

  160. Rebecca Thomas says:

    I love looking at the fun, bright and young fabric! The blocks are also giving me inspiration to try something new. It’s also good to see that even 100 blocks designers need to unpick once in a while LOL!

  164. Sue Goodin says:

    What’s not to like about the blogs!
    Fresh ideas, smiles, encouragement just to name a few.
    What I don’t like about them is I can’t keep up with them and the quilting.

  165. martina says:

    I always enjoy to get to know( new to me) designerblogs as: sew many roads and Irish chain. It is great fun, thanks!

  166. Joanne P says:

    Thanks for the inspiration. Keep it coming.

  178. JanetB says:

  179. Tammie says:

    I love the tip that “Katie@swim,bike,quilt” gave about taking a black & white photo of your quilt block to determine value. Great idea!

  180. Julie in WA says:

    I learned today that beads can be sewn on using the sewing machine! I am not a big hand sew-er, so this is hugely revealing for me!

    I lovely mug to go with the magazine would be a great addition in y sewing room ;)

  190. Carol Patterson says:

    I liked seeing the blocks made from several different fabric choices. I also liked seeing the block used in a quilt. Also like the wallpaper roller for pressing the crease when finding the center of the fabric for applique.

  191. Juanita says:

    It goes without saying that it is so much fun to see the different blocks. But it was also fun to visit blogs I’ve never seen before. I fell in love with Whistlepig Creek because she obviously loves BRIGHTS and I do, too. I love the background on her blog and her use of colors is very exciting to me. :)

  192. Colette Wilson says:

    I am really enjoying seeing the blocks made into quilts. I sometimes have difficulty visualizing this when looking at a single block. Also, I’m loving the tutorials some designers are posting. It’s great to get their tips on assembling the patterns!

  233. Maryln Fleming says:

    Each issue of the 100 Blocks magazine inspires me even more. The designers selected for each issue are very clever in being able to come up with new designs. I’ve been a huge fan from the first issue and can’t wait to see issue niumber 5. Please enter me in the contest for the mug and issue 5.

  234. Jannette says:

    I always enjoy the different blocks – I’m often more enthusiatic about trying a new block if I’ve seen it in the 100 Blocks edition; and if there are sneak peeks at new fabric lines, it’s ever so much better!

  235. Kay Ahr says:

    Just about every quilter in the blog tour has something personal on their blogs, not just the quilty things. It’s fun to get to know the person behind the designs.

  237. Karlene says:

    I enjoy all the variety in the various blogs–very inspirational!

  239. Mary Jo Jones says:

    It is such an honor to be chosen for your special issue…and you can sense the enthusiasm in each blog. I love the various examples and how the blocks would look in a full quilt. The blogs make me want to make them all!!

    The creativity! It is awesome to see how individual quilting is…something there for everyone!

  241. jmniffer says:

  251. Karen Dumont says:

    …..Mmmmmm….to enjoy my Blueberry flavored coffee in the “Blocks Mug”…BLISS!!!!

  252. Shirley says:

    The best part of quilting blogs is the absolute joy of quilting that the authors have and pass on to everyone who reads their posts! Some are funny, some instructional, but all pass on the love of quilting. Thanks!

  253. Mary says:

    I have enjoyed seeing all the wonderful blocks, but what I especially like is when a designer shows the block done in more than one colorway or shows the blocks combined in a completed project. My favorite example is Celine Perkins’ tabletopper done in two different versions. The black one is stunning!

  254. Melissa Slofkosky says:

    I really like the Circle Of Friends block.

  255. Amanda E says:

    Can’t wait for Vol5! I’m on pins and needles!

  260. Judith says:

  261. SewLindaAnn says:

    Ooh, ooh ooh my THE Mug (sigh). I loved that I found at least 3 or 4 new blogs to add to my reader. The designers are giving so much great info. with settings, colors and ideas. Really wonderful!

  262. Patti says:

    I keep hoping that I will someday have time to do all the quilting that I want to do . . . and can always use more block ideas.

  263. Joanna says:

    Thor makes me smile, the flowers are so pretty, the simple designs create comples secondary designs when made into a quilt and all of the blocks just make me want to sew.

  264. Eileen Caspers says:

    This mug would be a treasure to have beside me as I sew.

  265. Wendy W says:

  272. Gidget says:

    There is so much to look at I could spend all my time just wondering through the blogs for all the incredible ideas and blocks. I try to get some time sewing every couple days at least. I guess I have become a blogaholic and ofcourse its a given that I love the quilting.

  273. Josie Horner says:

    A wonderful way to experience what other quilters are thinking and creating–and enjoying new blog posts with a “quilty” coffee — who could ask for more.

  274. Debi T says:

    Love the mug! I am amazed at all the different types of blogs, blocks and creative people out in Blogland! I am ready for some quilting magic.

I will be checking tomorrow for # 5 Applique is my favorite quilting technique and a cup of coffee in that mug would be soooooooooooo inspirational Also a great Bd / Mother’s Day gift to me,lol

  281. Something I have enjoyed is looking at not just the blocks, quilts, but the different blogs. I found a ad that lead my to the blog of a 96 year old sewist, that was really neat. I was inspired and wanted to start trying some of these blocks but I was to busy reading. Ah, I really enjoyed myself. Would love the coffee mugs, I like to collect them. Thank you for the giveaways! Pick me! Pick me!

  282. I love how each blog has a completely different ‘feel’ or “touch”. I love them ALL!

  283. Autumn P. says:

  289. Judy says:

    I have thoroughly enjoyed every site I have gone to. The blocks are so inspirational and so are the designers. I would love the coffee mug as I often have a cup of coffee in my sewing room while I am working.

  290. ELIZABETH CROSS says:

    What fun…..I am always drinking coffee in AM as I read facebook updates at 6am.

  296. Irene Bowie says:

    Hi: I cannot fathom the talent that these people have and love to share. It is inspiring, when my inspiration seems to dwindle just have to read the blogs and then I get rejuvinated again. Thanks, and love the mug!

  297. Nancy Sue says:

    I love it when the designers have given you different layouts of the same block, or different color combo possibilities such as Melissa at HappyQuiltingMelissa or Carolyn with her StarGlow block. I also love peeking at the posts before the blog hop post to see what everyone is working on….. I guess since I’m still sorting out time management with the 4 yr old’s schedule, I’m living vicariously through others and seeing what they are creating. I may be still “sorting out time management” when he’s 24….hehehe… Thank you for the blog hop….Been loving it!!!

  308. Carol says:

    So much inspiration, so little time!! :)

  309. Leanne says:

    I love the blog tour for a chance to get to know the designers a little. Even when a block isn’t really my style, I still enjoy reading about the inspiration behind the block. Thanks for a great quilty week!

  310. Anne Colwell says:

    I’ve found a number of sites I want to visit again -and been introduced to new fabric designers… thank you
