It has so much movement and the the quilt setting she has her block in is wonderful. MAkes you want to turn your machine on and sew sew sew.
I plan on having lots of fun on this tour. Thankyou Quiltmaker
I really like Jocelyn’s block – it is contemporary with clean lines but really evokes winter. I think it would make a great pillow.
I loved Erins block so much. Want to learn this kind of applique too! Great to have a bloghop again! Thanks so much for doing this!
I have a hard time choosing just one block! I am drawn to appliqué but I really like the paper pieced blocks, too, and the pieced blocks are great. How to choose? I think I will have to go with Denise’s, Judy’s and Jennifer’s as the favorites in this group! There, one of each, lol!
I checked out the blogs and saw lots of great blocks. Especially liked Laura’s block inspired by a Zen restaurant and the two blocks with little birds. Can’t wait to get the magazine!
I am a fan of SewHooked – just love paperpiecing
As a recent student of foundation piecing, my pick is Peaks and Valleys. I would love to see that in a sampler quilt. Thanks for the tour. I look forward to checking out the blogs and blocks.
I love reading Don’t Call me Betsy’s blog. Full of lots of inspiration. Thanks!
Commenting on the very first link seems like such a cop-out, but, seriously, birds holding up a quilt? It’s so Snow White, I love it! I’m definitely going to start following Erin’s blog, “Why Not Sew.” What an creative lady!
I look forward to this magazine everytime a new one comes out. Judy Laquidara’s blog is one of my favorite’s. SHe’s a great designer and has a fun personality that comes through on her posts.
Judy at Patchwork Times , one of my daily reads… She is always my favorite
I love Elizabeth Dackson’s new block! Simple but effective
I love the hit the slopes block by Kimberly Jolly! so fun!

I enjoy Springtime Spools by Pam Vieira-McGinnis pamkittymorning.blogspot.com
Hi, I visit Kimberly Jolly & Jocelyn Ueng at fatquartershop.blogspot.com at least twice a week, three if not more. They always have something fun going on, useful information and tutorials that even a beginner can enjoy.
I’m just a beginner and I love all the ideas and tuts
Thanks so Much!
I am so excited to see the new magazine come out. I have them all and have made many blocks from them. thanks for a chance to win a copy.
I went to all the blogs (nearly late for work lol). I love Erin Cox’s little block in the first blog listed! The little birds holding up the “quilt” in the center. Just too too cute! Thanks for all the inspiration!
I loved the “Birdies Holding a Quilt”. I am a sucker for birds. Love the blog so far!
Judy Laquidara’s block has soooo many possibilities to play with scraps. Love it! Love all the blocks today!
I loved the SewHooked site. I haven’t done much paper piecing so I would try several designs I saw.
I’m so excited for the new issue to come out! My 1st stop had to be Nancy Mahoney as I’ve been a fan of hers for quite sometime. I LOVE the Florida Rose block & how she combined it with her Round and Round block from last time. The colors she chose for the Florida Rose block are so vibrant but I also liked the holiday colors she used when she combined both blocks. Can’t wait to make it!!
I enjoyed reading the blog from justquiltin. Growing up in Northern Wisconsin, I can totally relate to her story and the block! How fun!
I love Pam’s blog- Pamkittymorning. The fabrics are gorgeous, her blog is welcoming, and her block in the magazine is so cute and has a secondary pattern when set together. Just lovely.
I am a nature photographer as well as sewist. I visited “all about applique” and immediately fell in love with the photo of “Tea Is For Birds”, lovingly made by Ms. Rosario. The detail is beautiful and her love of quilting is obvious. I learned quite a bit about “piecing” as well. Kay Mackenzie has an easy writing style that pulls the reader in and makes you fell that you, too, can make these beautiful projects. Now on to visit the other sites!
I love the rainbow block that is for patchworktimes.com. I always love the 100 blocks issue!!
My first blog tour! Interesting!
A must magazine for all quilters!
Nancy Mahoney’s patterns are always a treat, and I loved the Florida Rose pattern right away. When I visited her blog, I saw she’s posted a full-blown pattern using the Florida Rose applique block — love it! It’s a must-make!
All the blocks look wonderful. Love these blog tours! Can’t wait for the new mag!
I just checked out Kay Mackenzies’ page. I’m new to quilting and applique is a skill I want to learn.
I look forward to each 100 block tour – so inspiring!
I visited Judy Laquidara’s Patchwork Times blog. She is such a sharing quilter, and I enjoy all the quilting and non-quilting fun on her blog every day!
I enjoyed Denise R’s blog ‘Just Quiltin’. The block is such a cute snow scene and the accompany quilt is so unique.
I have just visited Erin’s blog (whynotsew) and most of all I ‘ve enjoyed the colors she uses.
Thanks for the chance to win
Pam Vieira-McGinnis— She does have “sweet things” my first impression and a great use of color and design. So many ideas it will take me into the next century!
My favorite today was Don’t Call Me Betsy (love the name!). Her block is nice, but what really caught my eye was the Oct. 29th post about her A Light in the Dark quilt. It’s absolutely stunning!!
Love Don’t Call Me Betsy! Her tutorials are excellent!
Can’t wait to see the newest 100 Blocks – I have 2 volumes and the book, too. Love them all!
Judy Laquidara from Patchwork Times is my first blog I read every morning. She is not only full of quilty goodness, but always has good common sense everyday life things to talk about….with much humor.
I loved reading about the inspiration behind Denise Russart’s block, as well as the story of the border that didn’t work.
I am loving the variety of pattern options at “Don’t Call me Besty” blog {Elizabeth Dackson}. Pat Harrison’s block was just way too cute! I love blog hops!
I visited Denise Russart’s blog. I love her snow day block and the quilt reminds me of when I was a kid in NY.
Enjoyed the Snow Day block at Justquiltin.
The fat quarter shop blog shows 2 of the blocks and I love them both. Great job girls.
Love a number of the blogs posted, but felt a kin-ship with “don’t call me betsy” blog. Love the easy to read & pictures.
am the enjoying the blog tour. Thanks . don’t know if I will live long enough to get all the things done that I want to do. life is good..
Oh my, you are going to make me choose just one??
Sewhooked.com and the paper piecing pulls me in just now but all are just so inspiring!
Even looking at your site and Peaks and Valleys by Carolyn McCormick and I am thinking this would be a great block for men’s ties. But as I type this I realize it is paper pieced also.
The All About Applique Sleep Tight block is adorable! Tamsyn
I loved the blog written by Erin Cox “Why Not Sew”? Love, love , love the designs incorporating colour and birds, what a clever way to show them, especially the birds on a wire with Christmas stockings. And the birds holding up a quilt? What can I say? Simply inspiring. And, the name of the blog is perfect…why not sew?
I love the block tour! I can’t believe I have never visited sewhooked before. Love all the neat paper piecing patterns including her scarecrow. Thanks for the chance to win!

I loved sewhooked block the best. Can’t go wrong with a scarecrow during this time of year and just love the bird that has surprised him!

How Fun was That!! My first blog tour and I just finished all of them! I have to say Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ “Spring Time Spools” spoke to me LOL! The colors, the prints, the pattern, it just all worked. Thanks so much for the tour and a chance to be entered into all of the contests!

I love Elizabeth Dackson’s Don’t Call Me Betsy blog. It was one of the first quilting blogs I discovered and I just love her designs – this block included! I love these blog hops to find more great blogs to read and I especially like it when the designer includes a sample quilt layout or showcases their block in different color/fabric combos.
I have never followed a blog before.I have enjoyed seeing all the comments and the beautiful fabric and blocks.Looking forward to seeing more and the new book.
Never heard of a Block Tour. Look forward to seeing what this involves and participating.
Looked at Laura Nownes” blog. One of the first book I bought was by her. Loved the Asian-grid block, have my bedroom done in Asian theme!
I went to about half of the blogs before time became an issue. I really enjoyed the blocks by Nancy Mahoney, Pam Vieira-McGinnis and Jennifer Ofenstein. There are some wonderful blocks of many different skill levels and I love that there are applique, foundation piecing and basic piecing. I’ll definitely have to get my own copy!
WOW. Which one do I make first. What a wonderful dilemma.
The little birds on the block at WhyNotSew are endearing. So sweet and happy. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the block from Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ site!
Who could resist a site called “Don’t call me Betsy”! Gotta love a woman and quilter with some assertiveness. I am not an applique fan so I really appreciated Elizabeth’s Square City and farther below, LOVED Simply Squared. What a fresh look for a scrappy quilt. I can see my young, traditional daughter-in-law wanting to do that project with our combined collection of Canning Day fabrics on white.
Jennifer Ofenstein has an absolute gift for paper piecing! Her work is so beautiful!! I have never gotten the hang of paper piecing so her work really amazes me! I think I’ll give it another try! The little scarecrow and sunbonnet Sue pieces are so beautiful! Excellent work, Jennifer!!
dennise site at justquiltin was the one site that struck me as i found she wrote like she was talking to YOU. this site also carried a variety of information as well which i found enjoyable.
I loved Laura Nownes blog sew how we sew! I loved the beautiful quilt garden and all of the pictures of flowers. The quilt garden was spectacular!
Judy Laquidara came to Omaha Quilter’s guild once and she was a dynamic speaker. She’s funny, knowledgeable and talented. I love her quilts and have several of her books/patterns.
Patchwork Times showcases some of her best work. Pictures can’t do them justice. I like to visit and remember her visit. Several of the other sites are great too. Can’t wait to get your new book at our quilst shop and peruse the glossy pages!!
I like the design by Laura Nownes in see how we sew site. The Zen Restaurant room divider being the inspiration for the block design. I like taking things from our environment and implementing them in something new.
Love, love, love Judy Laquidara’s Rainbow Dreams block because it’s a fresh, perky, modern design that I could also see working beautifully with more traditional fabrics, too.
I love Robert Callaham’s quilts and fabrics. I enjoyed his Grandma’s Country Album Quilts. Trying new patterns, blocks is part of the fun. Acorn’s is very special to me, as I had a big oak tree with lots of them at my old house. Will be trying this block first. Fabric has a language that inspire me.
I loved the block on “Don’t Call me Betsy” blog – a local group are making 18 bed quilts for a local facility for troubled teens and I think this will make a great modern quilt.
I love Erin Cox’s ‘whynotsew’. I do all hand piecing and hand quilting and she had such great feature blocks all being done this way. Such a thrill to see such beautiful work. I also love her red and aqua ‘square in a square’ which presents so many possibilities for using up scraps as well. Great stuff. Donna, Toronto, ON. Canada

Love Erin Cox’s Birds Holding a Quilt. I think it may be my next quilt!!!!
I have already found soooo much inspiration from just these few blogs I visited. I’m seeing Pat Harrison’s Christmas Plaid as my Christmas table runner, and Rainbow Dreams from Judy Laquidara and Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ Spring time Spools would be great for my grandkids next quilts. I can’t wait to get my copy of this book! I always love every issue you put out. Thanks for so much fun.
I visited several of the web sites that are new to me.. Loved the simplicity of Erin Cox’s birds and Nancy Mahoney’s florida Rose.
Love the fat quarter shop blog…lots of good ideas there! This is my second year of the blog and am looking forward to visiting all the sites!!

I can’t wait to see the rest of the blocks. Those you show above make me very interested in getting the magazine.

I really liked Jennifer Ofenstein’s Scarecrow block! So cute!
I loved all of the blocks and blogs so far. I think my favorites are Nancy Mahoney’s applique rose. She is such a kind and gentle soul and I love her blog. And then there is Judy Laquidara, whose bright colors and personality always cheer me.
Had such a blast reading all these great posts from today’s block designers! Hard to pick a fave, but since I’m crazy about appliqué, I’ll have to go with Nancy Mahoney’s Florida Rose!! It’s gorgeous!!!! Thanks for hosting this great “Hop”! All the best from Denmark! Mary Ann!
I admire Judy from Patchwork Times. She is a very talented and creative designer. She is totally devoted to her followers and offers us her time and energy to give us free recipes and free quilt patterns.

What a fun way to win. Love the many Blogs. Each site had an interesting approach to quilting. Want to start quilting right NOW!!!

I have visited 2 – so far! I am interested in checking out several others! The 2 I have already visited are Laura Nownes and Pam Kitty Morning.

Thanks for the opportunities!
I thoroughly enjoy visiting them all but I really find the tutorials on “Don’t Call Me Betsy” to be very useful.
I loved Jennifer Ofenstein’s Scarecrow Surprise.
I liked FQS’s Hit the Slopes block!

I adore Chicken Trilogy by Susan Geddes – its so happy and cute! thank you!~~
I loved Pat Harrison’s posting of the beautiful Scrappy Star Quilt from A Quilter’s Gathering.
wow! what a variety of blocks! I really liked Erin’s block with the birds holding a quilt–that block can stand on its own or be part of a fanciful multi-colored collection, Pam Kitty Morning fabrics give a delightful block more smile-factor, and Laura Nownes’ architecturally-inspired block reminds me to look around to find quilt blocks where I’d least expect them! I was hoping to find an idea or two to give my quilting mojo a kick in the pants–thanks for multiple!
I have visited all the blogs and there are some fantastic blocks, I really would like to win this book. My favorite is “Why Not Sews” Birds Holding Quilt. That is the sweetest most precious block and I’m really wanting to learn the Sketch/Drawing technique!

I would have to pick Elizabeth’s from Don’t Call Me Betsy blog. The magic that happens when putting this unusual block together is wonderful.
I like Erin Cox’s little birds, and Denise Russert’s sledding blocks.
I just visited Laura Nownes site and fell in love with her block. I also get excited by grid work . Especially oriental screens and windows . I can hardly wait to get started on my block with my stash of oriental fabrics . Who knows it could be the start of my next quilt!

I love Erin Cox’s little birds ! – and all the cute things she makes with them!
I love Patchwork Times. Judy is generous, talented & funny. She shares so much of her graphic traditionally pieced quilts, recipes, and funnies. But my favorite posts are often about Rosco & Otis… The rosters!
I really like the “Square City” block on the Don’t Call Me Betsy blog. Very versatile, squares are easy to cut and sew.
Love everything so far, hope I can find the book at my favorite store soon!
Wow…these blocks just keep getting better…right now …the sawtooth log cabin is my fav
…gonna post this link for my Guild….Hope someone from there is a winner 
THANKS a million for this fun and the chance to win!!
Loved all the blogs of course, but Ocean Waves Quilting blog caught my attention because I love Christmas fabric and loved the block. Thanks for the fun.
I visited Erin’s blog at Why Not Sew and I love the tutorials and free patterns she has.
I loved Kimberly’s (of the Jolly Jabber) flower block! So gorgeous and inspiring (I’d like to try that one someday)!
I enjoyed Judy’s Patchwork Times, and her pattern Rainbow Dreams.
I visited each one of the sites (except one that I could not open) and found so much inspiration in each one. Susan Marth has the cutest Baby block as well as Erin Cox’s little birds
Thanks for yet another inspiring edition of 100 Blocks!
I just loved Pat Harrisons block. Christmas is my favorite time of the year and her block is wonderful.
I visited sewhooked.com this morning. I LOVE her website. She has some really awesome paper piecing instructions, some really GREAT free quilt patterns and some really nice blog posting in regards to her quilts. I recommend anyone go visit her site. It’s a great site!
love Nancy Mahony’s FL rose block and how she combined it with another block and I especially liked the colors she used.
Looked at several. Susan Marth’s block for baby quilt was adorable. I love playing with alphabet designs. I was at the Quilt Festival last week & saw some of these artists quilts. They are all very gifted designers.
I really liked a number of the blocks but my favorite today is Laura Nownes’ Asian inspired block. I have fabric I picked up in Japan that has been waiting for just the right block or pattern-found it! Thanks Quiltmaker for doing these blocks.
I’m a follower of Judy Laquidara’s blog and love her block in the new issue of 100 blocks. It looks so fun for a kid-friendly quilt. Thanks for offering the chance of getting a copy of the magazine.
I LOVE the 100 Blocks Issues. I love applique work done by hand and all the blocks in these issues are just wonderful. I have done many of them and love them!!!! Keep up the good work. I am going to look thru alot of blogs today too!!!! Thank you so much for all the fun info!!!
I was inspired by All About Applique. Having just taken a class in Wool Felt Applique, this just reinforced my desire to learn.
Oh what fun visiting all of these blogs was. This tour is a great idea. I found blogs I hadn’t seen before. My favorite so far is PamKittyMorning’s block. The secondary design formed when the blocks are put together is great. I also love the applique blocks. Thanks
I really liked Justquiltin with Denise Russart’s blog. The block is adorable on it’s own. But the blog shows it in a full quilt and with some adaptations that can be made in color and in design elements that will keep it form being too repetitive. The “night time” sledder was great as was the addition of the hat on some of the sledders.
I really love Denise Russart’s designs and learned that she uses EQ software to design her work….except for her current block in QM’s Vol.6. I’m sew looking forward to getting my copy of your latest 100 Blocks issue! Thanks sew much for this chance to win
My favorite block today for sure was the adorable Birds Holding a Quilt at Why Not Sew’s blog. I LOVE that block.
I have to add though that the block at Pam Kitty Morning was great because it gave new ideas on how to use Spool Blocks. I’d never seen a Spool Block use in any other way that just as the spool itself so this was great.
I am soooo glad you chose Judy Laquidara to be a block designer in this issue! She has a distinct style when it comes to designing, and her block is exactly as I would expect from this fabulous blogger!
All the blogs today were great, But Erin’s “Birds Holding a Quilt” was just too cute!
I want a book!
I’m about halfway though today’s blog tour. My favorite so far is Pam McGinnis’s Spools block, but Judy Laquidara’s block is a close second. So many blocks, so little time!
I looked at several of the blogs posted. I really enjoyed PKM. I loved her block.
I always love Laura Nownes wordpress blog Seehowwesew
It is fun and informative and gives me great ideas!
I really enjoyed reading and learning from Erin Cox’s blog. I am not new to quilting but I love learning new technique’s and her quilt is great with the new way to applique. I would love someday to have a blog of my own to share my talents, tips and tricks with the sewing and quilt world. Reading everyone’s blog’s and having the confidence to just get out there and share with the world is so inspiring to me. I hope to be among this great blog world. And I would like to thank all of you for sharing your talents and your lives with us.
I visit Erin Cox. The simplicity of her patterns are encouraging for a newbie like myself. Just a few squares, and some simple birds create wonderful results!
I specially enjoyed reading Jennifer Ofenstein’s blog post. I liked that she shared the process of creating a pattern, how you start with a basic idea and then add on to it until it becomes a complete picture.
Loved judy and elizabeth’s blocks. The designs are sonafsptable. Thanks
I really enjoyed Sewhooked’s Scarecrow Surprise. It is a wonderful fall project and it is paper pieced. Something that I love doing. It is colorful and lively…what a fun square to make a fall project come alive. I also loved looking at all the other patterns that she has done. Can’t wait until the new 100 Blocks Volume 6 goes on sale. It will make a great addition to all the ones that I have already and enjoy sewing from so much. What a way to make a quilting hobby more fun!!! Thank you so much.
My favorite is Laura Nownes Asian inspired block. I have lots of Asin fabrics I can use in a quilt made with this block.
i lkie justquiltin with Denise Russart not so much because of the snow block, but her bold use of color in her other quilts…want that new magazine, win or purchase!!
I love the fatquartershop blog. Their patterns are both simple, but striking. That’s what I need! Thanks.
Erin Cox’s little birds are so cute and cheerful! A great pattern to work on when it is dreary outside!
Elizabeth Dackson’s post is my favorite.
LOVE ‘DON’T CALL ME BETSY’S BLOG’ !
THANKS FOR SHARING!
I loved visiting all the blogs…though I couldn’t pull up Quilter’s Newsletter.
Kay at All About Applique has designed a favorite. Very cute design!
I just visited Nancy’s blog and was excited to see what she did with her Rose block combined with another block from Book #5. I can not wait to purchase the next “Block magazine” to add to my collection ! I love the acorn block, too !!
Just got inspired with the blog from Fat Quarters Shop, the Hit the Slopes pattern using Kate Spain’s JOY FABRICS ! Love the pattern, and the fabrics are oh so Happy!!! I’m in the spirit now!!!
Love the Jolly Jabber (fat quarter shop) contribution, as well as Laura Nownes block.
LOVED laura’s block and her post on the Livermore quilt show!
I looked at all the blocks and really enjoyed Pams block at http://www.pamkittymorning.blogspot.com/ Love Star looking blocks.
Just love the acorn block and would love to win this with the fabric
LoveJolly Jabber ( fat quarter shop) and don’t call me betsy, would love to win a copy of the 100 quilt blocks magazine
I loved Kay Mackenzie’s block sleep tight. It’s a beautiful scrappy block that I could use to make a baby quilt. I just love it. All the blocks shared were gorgeous though. So much inspiration!!
While I check out Judy Laquidara’s blog daily, I have found 2 new ones; PamKittyMorning and Why Not Sew I have added to my list!
I enjoyed looking at all the different sites but I expecially enjoyed Don’t call me Betsy as she had beautiful paper piecing patterns. I am almost out of printer ink after visiting the sites. lol
I really enjoyed visiting Jennifer Ofenstein @sewhooked.com. Her block is darling, and I enjoyed scrolling down and seeing other things she has down. She is very talented.
I enjoy Nancy Mahoney’s blog; however, every site I visited provided inspiration. So many quilts, so much to accomplish!!
I visited a few sites and I must say I truly love them all. However, http://www.pamkittymorning.blogspot.com/ Love Star looking block is my favorite. The I love a block when there are LOTS of pieces.
My two favs were Pam Kitty and Nancy Mahoney. I saw the spools in Pam Kitty’s block before I even read the name of it!
And I love everything Nancy Mahoney does. She is very talented!
I loved this Blog Hop!
I looked at all the blocks and congratulated its authors! They are great designers!
But I fell madly in the block of Nancy Mahoney. I love Applique!
That block and the proposal of the quilt are wonderful and happy Christmas!
Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine and some prizes!
And for allowing us to participate to foreign readers!
Have a great day! A hug!
Visited ‘Don’t Call Me Betsy’ and love how her block would look in a scrappy rainbow quilt! Thanks for the sweet giveaway!!
don’t call me betsy is actually one of my favorite blogs. not only does she blog about some really awesome stuff, she’s very clear, genuine, and honest in her blog while keeping it incredibly entertaining to read! Such a sweetheart, many thanks!
Love Quiltmaker magazine. Thanks for keeping us inspired.
Definitely Elizabeth Dackson’s Blog Don’t Call Me Betsy. Her Block is so easy and so changeable. It’s a pleasure. Thanks for the blogtour!
Loved the scraps quilts at ‘dontcallmebetsy’ and the baby quilts at ‘suznquilts’. I do a lot of both, and enjoyed new ideas and the eye candy! Thanks ladies!
Love the sweet block at Why Not Sew? Looks bright, fun, cheery, and delightful! Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway.
Have a super great sewing and stitching day!
Hi! I have been tryong to check out Susan Geddes’ blog link, but it has not worked all day…?
yay! tour i can go on…i can stay in my home and still do it, no money needed!
Buenas tardes (good afternoon), I sure enjoy the blog tour, it’s soooo much fun, I take many hours to review the blocks
, my fave block for today’s See How We Sew
I liked Elizabeth Dackson dontcallmebetsy.com website — I liked how she showed different ways to use her block. Hope to win but I am going to head out next week if I don’t and buy a copy of 100 blocks!
Enjoyed seeing the pictures on Laura Nownes’ blog of “Quilting in the Garden”. Would have loved to seen the display in person.
I visited all of the blogs. So much inspiration! Thanks for this tour and can’t wait to see the rest!
Erin Cox’s blog at http://www.whynotsew.blogspot.com/ is one I really enjoyed. I love her birds!
Oh, I’m sure that I could make very good use of the prizes in this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunities.
i loved the block Nancy Mahoney has on her site. I like the fabrics she used and I want to try applique soon
I love the why not sew. I love the birds and the bright colors she has used!
I absolutely love the bird quilts. They are exactly what I have been looking for. I am starting to do applique. This looks like a perfect small quilt to try. Can’t wait to see the new 100 Blocks magazine.
I’m so confused with where to leave a comment but trying here! I can’t eait to see the book out and have enjoyed visiting the different websites for tons of inspiration!
I visited all the sites and am now almost overwhelmed with all the inspiration available at the sites.
Love the acorn block will be my first block from the book…..
patchwork times by judy l. is one of my favorite websites. judy has some great information on there as well as tutorials.
It was fun reading through all the blogs, by favorite would have to be Pam Kitty morning.
Loved the block and the beautiful quilt design.
So much fun for Day 1!
Some of my favorites: the little scarecrow, All About Applique’s Sleep Tight, the beautiful zen window by seehowwesew, Spring Favorite by Kimberly (I agree, it would be a great row along block!).
I enjoy when designers post color options for their blocks…amazing what color can do to a design!
So many wonderful blogs for Day 1. I love the Scarecrow Surprise block by Jennifer Ofenstein of Sew Hooked. It is the perfect reminder of fall which is my favorite time of year. I loved how he was shocked at the bird. There were so many different blocks it was hard to choose one. They were all wonderful in their own way.
I love following this blog tour, what fun! What great quilt blocks. I follow 3 of the above blogs everyday.
It was tough to only pick one, but I think Erin Cox’s “Whynotsew” was my favorite. I love the block in a block idea, especially with her little birds highlighting the little block.
My favorite blog listed is Susan Marth of suznquilts.wordpress.com/.
I enjoy the variety of appliqué her blog features.
I liked Laura Nownes’ description of designing a block based on fretwork in a local restaurant. Both the Chinese and the Celts loved “fretty” designs, and the famous “Greek key” has similar geometric elements.
I’m a follower of Kay Mackenzie and love her patterns. Would love to win this book.
I visited 7.Nancy Mahoney nancymahoney.com/blog/ & loved her Florida rose quilt. Thanks for the chance to win.
I loved the spool block at the Pam Kitty Morning blog-and seeing how the block would look made into a quilt. So cute!
Thanks for another great 100 Blocks blog tour and the fun giveaways!
Oh, I loved the last volume and can hardly wait for the next on. Today, I visited Kay Mackenzie’s All About Applique’, because applique’ is one of my favorite things to do. But, I think I just may visit all the others, also. Block 546, Sleep Tight is so cute!
Loved both the blocks from Pat Harrison and Laura Nownes. Cant wait to get the issue so many lovely blocks and ideas on just the first day of the blog hop. <3
I love to paper piece so that first block you showed is beautiful!!!!
I love just about all of the blocks. Square City by Elizabeth (Don’t Call me Betsy) really caught my eye primarily because of its versatility and its totally scrap-friendly nature.
I loved the two birds holding the “small” quilt… can’t wait to get this issue!
Justquiltin’s Denise Russart may not be ready for snow yet this season, but her Snow Days block has me thinking about cosying up to a warm fire and with some hot chocolate and my latest quilting project!
I visited all of the blogs above & found two favorite blocks. One is from Pam Kitty & the other is from Laura Nownes. Thank you for all the beautiful blocks.
a.ladyfarmer at yahoo dot com
I loved them all but I am partial to the flower blocks and though Kimberly Jolly’s Spring Favorite was really neat. Can’t wait to get the new book and now I want to get the rest. Thanks for the blog hop it helped be decide to get all the 100 block books.
Although there was much to be gleaned from all the blogs, my favorite was Laura Nownes. The pictures from the different events she attended (with their links) were amazing and I found myself clicking and reading for quite some time. Loved it!
As a fan of applique, I visited Nancy Mahoney’s web sight and I loved her Florida
Rose block.
I visited Why Not Sew and fell in love with the Birds Holding a Quilt design. I love all her ideas! Thanks for the chance to “meet” more quilters.
Loved Nancy Mahoney’s blog and her Florida Rose block design! Thank you for a chance at the giveaway!
My two favorites were Pat Harrison’s fussy-cut poinsettia, and the child’s bed with stats in the sky! I love the 100 Blocks issues– I have all but one.
I love Patchwork Times by Judy L. Her tutorials are just great and easy to follow.
I enjoyed looking all of the above Blogs. My favorites are Nancy Mahoney’s Florida Rose and how she showed using it with another block. Her colors were beautiful! I also enjoyed Denise Ressart’s Snow Day block. All of them are adorable! thanks for the chance to win a copy of the magazine as I have all the other issues.
Pick me!! Pick me!! I love the acorn block. Will be really cute on a wire stand.
Love this block…..it’d make great corner stones in a sampler quilt.
I visited “Don’t Call Me Betsy” for the very first time. Love it. I am looking forward to making her square city in a very scrappy version. I have yards and yards of scraps just waiting to be used.
I liked Jennifer’s Holly Jolly quilt pattern.
I have read Patchwork Times by Judy Laquidara since she first started her blog. I also visited whynotsew by Erin Cox. I’ll visit the others as time allows. Thanks for the chance to win!
I liked “seehowwesew.wordpress.com”. It was interesting seeing how the grillwork in the Asian Restaurant influenced her block.
“Birds Holding a Quilt was my favorite block. It was on Erin Cox’s blog.
Another great start to what promises to be another great tour. I loved most of the blocks and blogs, but I have to say I really liked going through Erin Cox’s tutorial on free form stitching around applique. It’s just the technique I’ve been looking for to use on a quilt I’m making for my granddaughter. Thanks!
I visited all of the blogs listed. Some I have been a follower for a while. I think the one I liked best was “Don’t Call Me Betsy”. She has a very informative blog. Thanks for the chance at winning something. Hugs
What a fun tour. Be sure to go to JustQuiltin site to see the cute kids pulling sleds (Snow Days) and the quilt of the sledders. A nice site!
My favorite would have to be 8. Jennifer Ofenstein sewhooked.com. Her block is great. There are not many fall blocks out there. Mostly leaves. So this is great.
At the Fat Quarter Shop blog, I found the perfect block for using Christmas/winter fabrics called Hit the Slopes.
Just finished touring all of todays blogs and my favotire is Nancy Mahoney’s. I am in love with her Florida Rose and plan to start working on it as soon as I can.
I loved Kay Mackenzie’s All About Applique. She highlights techniques and promotes great books and patterns, even if they aren’t hers. My favorite, perhaps because I love Christmas so much, is Santa’s Loading Dock Quilt by Mary Buvia.
Right off the top, as they say. Why Not Sew? Made me laugh, smile and share the quilt block with others on my blog and on Facebook. The cute birdie block helping or showing a quilt with all its whimsical goodness was wonderful.
I also joined more than a few sites after visiting them. Thanks for all the fun!
This blog tour is so exciting. My 1st love is applique, but Pam Viera-McGinnis’ block “Springtime Spools” is going to be so much fun to make in scrappy colors.
I went to them all but the little birds holding the threads are so cute – Erin Cox whynotsew.blogspot.com – but all the blocks were great.
M
I love seeing the creativity on every blog. I esp. love the little birds on Why not Sew. Plus I’m a big appliqué fan, so Nancy Mahoney’s blog is great, and Kay MacKenzie, too. I guess I just like them all.
Love the blog tour. Always learn a ton and discover (or rediscover) some great designers. Love Pam Mahoney’s site and am headed back there to poke around some more. Thank you!
I too have noticed the grid in Asian restaurants , How fun that Laura Nownes made it into a quilt design.
Loved Laura Nowne’s blogs. I live nearby and have met her several times and always enjoy her upbeat personality and her quilting talents. Quilting in the Garden was fantastic, as always! Amazing venue, amazing quilts, amazing artist, amazing visitors!
I really like the curly-que letters on the block submitted by suznquilts. I’m hoping there’s patterns for more of the alphabet…
I really liked Elizabeth Dackson’s (dontcallmebetsy.com) Square City Block. It looks like a fun block to make with scrapes and makes an interesting overall pattern when used for the entire quilt.
I love Erin Cox and Why Not Sew! I found her machine drawn Birdie blocks a while ago and fell in love. It was somewhat of a revelation to see that machine drawing doesn’t have to be “perfect” to create perfectly darling blocks/quilts. Great encouragement for those of us who are a little OCD with our quilting as well as those of us who are precision-challenged. Also have been following her hand pieced Quilt-a-long sampler quilt. It combines traditional patterns with fun fabrics to produce a quilt that is ‘traditionally modern’ and fun and dainty to boot.
Pam Morning Kitty’s website!! I love the fabric so so so much! Plus her block is my favorite. She has a very cute blog, and lots of info. Thanks for the chance to win. I liked all the blocks today and the quilter’s websites as well.
Love to see all the new blocks.
I loved Jennifer Ofenstein’s scarecrow block!
Naturally, they’re all wonderful. I went back-and-forth between several of them. Having to pick one, I went with Patchwork Times — I’ve never been a patchwork gal, but the colors Judy is using make it mesmerizing. Makes me want to try it!
I enjoyed my visit to all the blogs today, but I think I’ve found a new favorite at PamKittyMorning. She’s got such a colorful, warm vibe. Vintage and modern at the same time!
I like how bright and cheery PamKittyMorning blog is!
So enjoyed today’s tour. Couldn’t see quiltersnewsletter, though. I’d sure love to win a copy of the 100 block book.
How can one not love the chickens at QNM blog. Inspired me to make chicken jokes too! Just fun.
I visited Bonnie Hunter’s blog and saw the link to here.
I have all these magazines. They are in a big binder to be saved for posterity!!!
XOXOXO Subee
I absolutely love Acorns Away! by Sandy Fitzpatrick. It was a gorgeous block! I look forward to getting my issue of 100 blocks!! Thank-you for this great opportunity and a chance to win a wonderful prize!
Loved Laura Nownes blog. Especially the “Half-Baked Brownie” recipe. Printed it out and am making it now!
I have long been a fan of both Judy Laquidara and also Pam Vieira-McGinnis – I’ve already been to their blogs today. Planning on visiting the rest on the list now! Thanks for the great magazines and giveaways!
I love Erin’s site, whynotsew.blogspot.com
I think her use of applique and quilting is something I would be willing to try. I think it is great how she incorporates freemotion quilting with the applique.
I liked both Judy Laquidara’s and Nancy Mahoney’s blocks. Now, I can hardly wait to get the magazine!
I love to follow the fatquartershop blog. It’s very interesting to see all the new fabric lines coming out and to read about all the designers and where they get their inspiration. And I really love the Hit the Slopes quilt block!
Thanks for a chance to win! 
Love the Birds Holding a Quilt block on the “why not sew ?” blogspot. It looks easy , fun and looks like a good way to use up scraps from your stash!
What fun! I have never gone on a blog tour before. Love the Sawtooth Log Cabin Block. Thanks for the inspiration.
I LOVE Nancy Mahoney’s blog. Not only is she a talented quilt designer and teacher, she is a genuinely nice and generous person. Plus, every Friday is Free Pattern Friday on her blog site. Thanks Nancy.
I love Nancy Mahoney’s Florida Rose applique block and how it plays so well with her block from the last issue of 100 Blocks
I loved Erin’s post from Why Not Sew. her enthusiasm is contagious and her little birds are delightful!
There are so many nices ones it’s hard to choose just one! I love the little birdies on Why Not Sew’s site… but then again, the grids are so cool on See How We Sew… more than enough inspiration for all.
I love all teh blocks and I love all the ideas and tutorials.Thanks for the inspirations!
I loved Nancy Mahoney’s website. Applique is my favorite technique and I got great inspiration from her site. Her color choices are amazing!
Hi……….I loved all the websites, so much fun. Thank you
I like the blocks I see so far.
Dorothy
I love Kimberly Jolly’s Fat Quarter Shop. They have such a fabulous collection of Block of the Months that I’m tempted to start a new one each month. Plus they have an awesome array of fat quarters and FQ packets. The new travel Rowenta (at 25% off) as shown on FQ Shop’s blog looks like a deal.
I really enjoyed Jennifer’s scare crow block, with all the variations. Thanks for the giveaway.
I visited Don’t Call Me Betsy. I’ve been following her blog and love her block and show she shows it in different fabrics.
Oh wow looks like a great issue! I’ll be visiting all the block makers sites!
As the leave are falling and the acorns are clattering on the roof, Acorns Away! by Sandy Fitzpatrick is the perfect block. I love it.
What awesome blocks today in the blog hop! I especially liked PamKitty’s spool block. I don’t normally like spool blocks, but her block was subtle. Several nice blocks for the center of baby quilts. Looking forward to tomorrow! Many thanks!
I ADORE “Rainbow Dreams” by Judy Laquidara at patchworktimes.com
I’m a “brights gal” and that one is a MUST for me!
Springtime Spools on Pam Kitty Morning blog (Pam Vieira-McGinnis) is now on the top of my “to Make” list. Looking forward to this blog tour.
A wonderful tour today. Snow Days was one of my faves and also Hwy Not Sew’s Birds holding the quilt….so cute.
I loved Erin Cox’s Birds Holding a Quilt. I love the idea of a a quilt within a quilt and the birds were so cute. Will have to make this one.
Love the acorn for fall. I got overloaded for Halloween and not much for Fall.
I love the new block by Why Not Sew – cute lil birds holding a quilt.
Fun!!!
Wow! Such beautiful blocks! I had to visit Nancy Mahoney’s blog first (the name, of course). Then I went to Kimberly Jolly and Jocelyn Ueng’s and loved “Naptime.” And then I went to Judy Laquidara’s site and fell in love with her rainbow block in the brights! So many blocks to make–so little time!
I love Nancy Mahoney’s applique! Very pretty and inspirational! nancymahoney.com/blog/
I loved Kay Mackenzie allaboutapplique.net Sleep tight block! It was so cute! Thanks for the giveaway! I enjoyed all the blocks today.
My pick is Erin’s block with the little birds holding the quilt in the middle. Also love all the other quilts on her site. The colors she uses are great.
I can’t pick just one because as I looked at each one they were all so neat. I am fond of paper piecing so the Scarecrow by Blogger Sewhooked was really cute.
So many blocks, so little time. I really, really liked Nancy Mahoney’s block, especially the way she paired it with another block. It would look good in just about any colorway.
I really enjoyed 10.Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ blog and her bright, cheery blocks.
I love the little quilted bird hangings on Erin Cox’s blog “Why Not Sew?” The little birds stringing up the garland was just too cute! Love it!
Oh, I love this magazine! I visited PamKittyMorning – she has the greatest sense of color and style and – most of all – fun! I just love her fabric!
So many interesting new blogs (new to me, at least!). I liked the Springtime Spools blog in particular at PamKittyMorning although there were several other blocks that looked like fun.
I love seeing all of the blocks but Florida Rose by Nancy Mahoney really blew me away.
Visited Pat Harrison’s site and enjoyed her collage of Christmas fabrics with the added touch of some glitz!
I love Laura Nownes site. Love the tutorials she shares with the readers. Very colorful quilts. Many of the designers have wonderful blocks and quilts to share. Such great eye candy.
Aileen from FL
I visited everyone but I loved Erin’s block from WhyNotSew, so simple but so cute. Thanks.
Loved Erin’s blog posts and her use of birds in many of her designs.
After looking at all of todays blogs I have to say that I really like Nancy Mahoney’s block and how she incorporated her block from the last issue into her gallery quilt.
I have been keeping up with these blog tours and I really enjoy them! Thanks! Looking forward to getting my copy as soon as it hits the stands!
Finding out about the blocks is always fun. First one I visited was Kay MacKenzie’s. Love her “sleep tight” block – would be great in a baby quilt with more stars overhead.
Thanks for the chance!
I loved Nancy Mahoney’s site. I absolutely love applique.
I love peaks and valleys.
Love the birds holding the quilt at whynotsew blog. Great colors and birds are adorable. Hope I win the free copy!
Loved the site that had Snow Day as a block,(Denise Russart justquiltin.wordpress.com). A cute block, thanks for the giveaway.
I enjoyed reading about laura nownes’ inspiration from some gridwork. It reminds me to look for inspiration from places I am visiting.
Love these blocks, can’t wait to see more of them!
I love PamKittyMorning, love the “vintage” things she does!!
Thanks for the inspiration – the blocks are fabulous!
I enjoyed the snow day block at Just quilting. What I appreciated here was that you put up pictures of the acutal blocks. It’s nice to see what will be in the magazine.
Sue
I love Pam Kitty Morning’s blog. She is funny and I also love her quilts and fabric line! Thanks for the giveaway.
Always, always enjoy the work featured in Quiltmaker! The instructions are so clear, well written easily followed. Would really enjoy winning a copy of what I’ve begun to think of as a ‘standard’ to my library: the most current issue of 100 Blocks! Thanks for this chance. Laura H.
Why do I have to pick just one. Just need 36 hrs in a day to get them all done.
Pam Kitt6 Morning’s block in her fabric is darling. Anxious to get the magazine and start sewing.
I visited sewhooked.com to check out the paper pieced scarecrow. Jennifer has so many other paper piecing blocks on her site that are so cute.
Always read Judy L’s blog and love how her block’s corners will set together to give me QSTs.
I am an applique fanatic, so I love Nancy Mahoney’s Florida Rose!
Always, always enjoy the work featured in Quiltmaker! The instructions are so clear, well written easily followed. Would really enjoy winning a copy of what I’ve begun to think of as a ‘standard’ to my library: the most current issue of 100 Blocks! Thanks for this chance.
Oooops! Forgot to mention that I’m an avid fan of Judy Laquidara’s Patchwork Times. She’s the one who introduced me to Dimple Dots, a fabric she used in this most recent entry. Laura H
I loved the little pj pants on Pam Kitty Morning’s blog. (They were on another post but I found them while browsing.) So cute.
I love Judy Laquidara’s blog Patchwork Times. I participate in her monthly UFO challenge. I’m already working on my 2013 UFO list…2012 UFO list is complete! Thanks for a chance to win the newest 100 Blocks Issue. Sandi
I love the block Laura Nownes has created based on a room divider. I love designs that when put together will give a quilt a diagonal line.
I am in love with the Spring Time spools block by the Pkm website. The red white and light blue color scheme is wonderful. If I dont’ win, I will purchase this just for that block alone. I adore it! Thanks for the contest.
Thanks to my participation in the Block Party in Aug. I was introduced to the wonderful world of quilter’s blogs! This will be my first Blog Tour and it’s already fun! Too many thoughts about how much there is.
I love PamKittyMorning’s blog and just love her spool block, Springtime Spools. I am a fan of spool blocks and like her block to use in a sampler. But I also loved visiting the other blogs as well. Great ideas and lovely blocks.
I met Kay Mackenzie at a quilt show last year, such a nice person. Her Sleep Tight block would be perfect for any baby’s room.
I just visited Kay Mackenzie allaboutapplique.net.
I struggle a lot with applique, so finding a blog that explains things with pictures really help.
Pingback: Blog Tour Discount for Your Shopping Pleasure! | Quilty Pleasures Blog
Visited justquiltin by Denise and love her Snow Day block!
I visited all the blogs and loved all the blocks, but my favorite was Erin Coxswain’ birds.
Went to sew hooked and loved the scarecrow block! Perfect for crafting!
Love the block designed by Laura Nownes … she made it even more interesting by her use of the fabric to highlight the “fretwork” … I will definitely be giving this one a try!
I loved several blocks but since I am a Judy Laquidara fan and read her blog everyday, I’d have to say hers is my absolute favorite. I am very much a traditional piecer and her quilts talk to me!
Tweet tweet Yay on being published.
What inspiration!! Will keep me busy ready and quilting for a long time–oh yeah!! Winning a copy would be the “icing on the cake!”
Enjoying the blog hop, my first. I loved Pat Harrison @ oceanwavesquilting. A very nice piece.
I liked the two block layout Nancy Mahoney showed on her blog. Looking forward to visiting the blogs featured tomorrow.
I love the Acorns Away!
Loved going to all the blog spots and seeing the beautiful block designs. blog #11 would not open for me it just gave me a blank page so I missed that block (which I assume is the Acorns Away because I never saw that block).
Looking forward to tomorrows blogs (after I return from working the polls) DO NOT FORGET TO VOTE this is a privilege given to so few in our beautiful world.
I’ve been a Quiltmaker reader since the early 1990′s. It’s fun to peruse back issues to see how designs have changed. (And so many that appealed to me 5, 10, or 15 years ago still do!) I’ve enjoyed the 100 blocks series and welcome the new edition.
Nancy Mahoney’s block is lovely. I like the way she gave a virtual layout.
So many choices– it hard to decide which is the one for me.
The little bird block by “why not sew” is just about as cute as they come!
I like the block from Judy at Patchworktimes, a very versatile block.
I liked Laura Nownes blog. Great photos of events local to me. Great way to share.
I love the Snow Day block from Justquiltin–it’s a great start for a kid’s quilt.
I’m babbling with Nancy Mahoney block, looks so easy to do…, that’s why applique’s one of my favorites!!!
Visited them all-what creativity. Love Nancy Mahoney’s designs.
I love the Florida Rose on Nancy Mahoney’s site. I don’t usually do applique, but this block may change my attitude! It’s so pretty. Thanks for Publishing these 100 block magazines. They are so fun!
Loved Erin Cox’s block with the cute birds and the appl. technique.
Going to try doing that myself.
I really enjoyed visiting a few new-to-me blogs! Love the tutorials on Sew Hooked! Thank you for the fun!!
I LOVE the “Birds Holding a Quilt” block at http://www.whynotsew.blogspot.com/. My blog is JennyWren’s nest so this just seems perfect for a block I should make!! It is the cutest dang block ever!!
txjennywren.blogspot.com
So many of these blocks are super-cute, but those adorable birdies have won my heart. That block combines my fave piecing along with JUST enough applique to make it do-able. Layer on that stinking cute design, and it becomes irresistible.
Couldn’t open the Quilters’ Newsletter blog, but all the others were wonderful. Each gave inspiration. When I first started teaching (many years ago), I used Laura Nowne’s book — it was like meeting an old friend, to see her block and I am already planning to make it. Thanks for the great introduction to this next issue!
Looking at your quilt patterns is such an inspiration. Would love to win one of the prizes.
Kay Mackenzie allaboutapplique.net Love, love, love applique! There is so much you can do with it. I am going to try something like the Sleep Tight pattern. Just love the bed as the base!
I love the variety of blocks. I especially liked that See How We Sew showed the inspiration for her block.
I fell in love on the first site I went to with the birds holding a quilt! That is so cute but there were a lot more of the sites that also inspired me! Thanks for hosting this blog hop.

After looking at these 13, I can’t wait for tomorrow.
I am a brand new quilter and so I am awed by all of the blocks I saw but the one that really “spoke to me ” is “Birds Holding a Quilt” by Erin @ Why not sew? Looking at her choice of colors and the details on her block makes me want to go and buy those fabrics and make Erin’s block. I took some time to browse through her blog a little and can see that her style is so totally inspiring to me. Thank you for the opportunity to receive a free copy of Quiltmaker. I can see that I need this magazine whether I win a copy or not so I will be keeping an eye out for it when it hits the stores!
I love the way Elizabeth Dackson shows her block in several different color ways. Doesn’t even look like the same block. Can hardly wait to receive the 100 block magazine one way or another!
I love Nancy Mahoney’s blog and her block. I’ve learned so much about applique from reading her posts. The block done in res & green is just gorgeous!
I really enjoy reading Judy’s Patchwork Times blog. I live on a farm too so I enjoy her chicken stories along with all her quilts.
Thank you for the chance to win!
I was sent these blogs in my email and was so excited to view them all.I am a self taught quilter and prefer hand quilting. I am always looking for interesting blocks, and there are so many here. I took a peticular interest in Denise Russarts. Snowday.! My compliments Denise. Amazingly done, beautiful collection of material and simple yet capturing depth and emotion. I will be attempting this block myself. Thankyou so much. I can hardly wait to get my 1st magazine.
Wow such wonderful ideas on every site, how can I make more time to use your wonderful inspirations, Thanks Nessa
I liked the story of how Denise at Justquiltin’ developed her block. And I remember well flying saucer toboggans.
I always enjoy seeing what is going on at the Fat Quarter Shop
I would love to win the latest issue.
I’m so excited about another issue coming out…my 100 block magazines are my faves!
I love the variety of all the blocks posted and think I will start with Judy’s block…looks fun to piece!
I especially enjoyed Jen Ofenstein’s paper-pieced scarecrow–and her early versions, too. It’s always fun to see a design evolve. [Denise Russart did the same on her post.] Jennifer’s other designs in earlier posts also show a lot of creativity.
I enjoyed seeing all the blocks, but found the scarecrow block on Jennifer Ofenstein’s block especially charming! Thank you for the opportunity to see all these blocks.
Though you may have said three blogs, I actually went crazy and visited many more! Such great blogs and love the creative names! Everything a person would want to learn from traditional applique (Nancy Mahoney) to foundation pieced (the scarecrow) and then Snow Day! Thanks for sharing all these links! I would love to win a copy of the magazine! Just creativity all bound in one magazine!
I’m a Patchwork Times fan from way back and always enjoy her blog!
Anybody else get a blank page when using the link for Susan Geddies?
5.Judy Laquidara patchworktimes.com I enjoy reading Judy’s stories about her chickens and her canning. I laughed out loud reading about Judy & Vince buying canned vegetables and oh so much sugar on a trip to the dollar store.
Pam Vieira-McGinnis was my favorite, however, it was a really tough decision. Lots of great ones and so much variety! Can’t wait for the 13th!
Judy Laquidara’s Patchwork Times is one of my all time favorite quilting blogs — she keeps lots of interactive things going on and she’s got a darling sense of humor — not to mention color!!
The Fat Quarter Shoppe is my favorite place to dream about fabric. Their blocks are so pretty too. Thanks for the chance to win!

In Williamsburg, I took Nancy Mahoney’s class – wonderful. Love her Florida Rose
block – the only gardens that bloom for me are in quilts! Also love Acorns Away!
Judy Laquidara’s blog. I always enjoy Judy’s stories about her chickens! Love her block in the magazine. It has a lot of potential!
I checked out all of the sites. I love seeing the different styles and patterns.
Erin’s happy little birds with their quilt is my favorite! It is so happy!
Nancy Mahoney’s floral applique is stunning.
Another favorite is Lauren’s Asian inspired grid. Beautiful
I would be sew excited to win
This was sooo fun going to all these blog sites! I have subscribed to a lot of them now! I LOVED the pattern Hit the Slopes on Fat Quarter Blog shop, and I really liked the Suzn Quilt blog. I enjoyed her patterns and website alot!
OOOhhhh….loved the block and fabric at pamkittymorning’s site. My bucket list is getting longer…. Thanks!
gostei demais do bloco dos pássaros segurando a colcha,comentei lá que eles estão em lua de mel…tão romântico imaginar os dois estendendo a cama(ninho?)Obrigada.tiacarminhapezzuto@gmail.com
So excited about volume 6, really wish to win one this time around. My favorite block is Snow Day by Denise Russart, it brought back so many memories of sledding in Eastern Canada as a child. This is one that I will be making as soon as I can get the pattern.
It’s really hard to pick a favorite from today. One thing I absolutely love about these block blog tours, is getting to experience the diversity and range of all the designers! I am drawn to Pat Harrison’s block with it’s fussy cut op in the middle and the large graphic design the block creates depending on the placement
Kudos to Pat and all the designers!
I fell in love with Jennifer Ofenstein’s scarecrow block. The scarecrow looks so shocked that the bird isn’t scared. Fantastic work from all, but I just have my favorites.
Nancy Mahoney has a real talent for applique. Combining her Florida Rose with her pieced block from the last volume was a great idea. It is a reminder that there are endless possibilites!
My favorite was Florida Rose
This blog is the first 100 block blog, I have participated in. It is fantastic seeing all of the participating sites that are taking part in this blog tour. I love seeing all of the new blocks the designers have created they are awesome.
Why Not Sew? and her link to the post about the sketchy applique technique. Love her quilts! Thanks.
I love “quilting in the garden” photos from “see how we sew.” A nice variety of photos and fall accents.
I loved Pam Vieira-McGinni’s blog and her block. :-0
I liked Judy Laquidara’s Rainbow Dreams block. The mix of colors is lovely. Thanks for the giveaway.
I visited all – but the first one, Why Not Sew, I kept coming back to. I love Erin’s block with the little birds holding up a tiny patchwork quilt! Too clever and I am ever so fond of birds so I was instantly smitten. I also liked how easy on the eyes Erin’s blog is – simple, clean, so easy to read! Very enjoyable were all though, love the effort put forth on all the blocks!
I loved Nancy Mahoney’s applique block as well as how she paired it with the Round Robin block for a quilt.
Most of the blogs were new to me, but I was enchanted by Erin Cox’s blog and her charming little thread sketched birds. Great free style idea. Enjoyed my tour through today’s blogs and blocks.
So many great things on the blog hop so far!! WOW!! But, I must say that my favorite block is definitely from Why Not Sew?…those birdies holding up the quilt are just too cute. That’s the block I will make first. I also really enjoyed reading about how Laura Nownes was inspired to make her block–that was terrific!! This is a terrific blog hop–thank you, Quiltmaker!!
I visited all the sites, but I particularly enjoyed reading Denise Russart’s story behind her block. It really brought back long forgotten memories.
I liked don’tcallme betsy’s blog. As a quilter to be I enjoyed seeing the same block in various color combinations.
I love SewHooked.com. She is a very talented pp designer, and I have enjoyed her generosity with her designs.
I liked Denise Russart ‘s. I love anything that has snow or anything to do with snow on it.
I loved the cute scarecrow at Sew Hooked’s blog. I have not yet tried paper piecing but this block has changed my mind. Thank you for your giveaway.
missmoozie(at)gmail(dot)com
I enjoyed seeing all the blocks but was amazed at Nancy Mahoneys block and her use of it in a quilt. So talented!!
I suppose it’s a little cheesy go pick the first blog on the list but I think Erin’s blog is terrific. I love her hand pieced quilt! It’s absolutely wonderful!
One I visited was pamkittymorning.blogspot, I really lived the Springtime spools
I really liked Denise Russart’s blog. She shared the journey from conception, a drawing, through several iterations to finished block. I was fascinated by the process and I love the block. This is really fun getting to know the designers through their blogs.
Love Judy L’s blog. I do the UFO. Her Rainbow Dream block is beautiful!
Thanks for a chance to win. I plan to buy number 6. these are so much fun.
I visited all the websites today. I found the diversity and creativity fascinating. I especially appreciated Nancy Mahoney’s design placed in a quilt with her block from a previous issue. Unusual and interesting look.
I found out about this through pamkittymorning. I loved the block that she made. I can’t wait to make a quilt of my own using Springtime spools block. Thanks for the chance to win and I can’t wait til 100 blocks comes out.
I read Judy L’s blog and am a regular reader. She covers a wide range of topics and always keeps it interesting. Her block is very interesting and I haven’t quite figured the piecing yet. Waiting on the magazine. Looked for it today and obviously didn’t find. But now I see it will be another week.
hard to choose but I particularly liked Hit the Slopes by J Ueng and I’m always a sucker for applique so Nancy Maloney’s Florida Rose appealed to me.
Of the first day features Denise Russart’s blog and block are the winners in my book.
I love the story of the block.
I just visited Jennifer Ofenstein at Sewhooked and I really loved her scarecrow block especially because she added a bird sitting on it. I still have others to read so I am sure that I will find many other great blocks.
I really loved SewHooked paper pieced scarecrow. Jennifer’s site is so inspiring.
I visited all of them but always love going to Elizabeth’s blog. I find her so inspirational.
I love the Why Not Sew birds they are so cute. Her site has put a bee in my bonnet. I think i can be brave & try my luck at making my own patterns thanks to her site.
This is the first Tour I have ever done & i’m loving it!!!!!!
At “Why Not Sew” I loved the page of “Birdie Quilts”. Such a sweet idea and so much inspiration there.
I love the block Erin Cox has on her blog. That one, in my opinion, clearly stood out among the other ones.
Snow day, on Denise Russart’s blog, really touched me in a special way. It brought back happy memories of sledding both from my own childhood as well as with my children. I remember having a saucer like that. It flew down the hills.
When I visited the website “All AboutApplique” I just couldn’t leave the site, she has so many inspiring pictures and links! And Kays block for Vol. 6 looks like it would be a great addition to one of my scrappy quilts.
I have fallen in love with the poinsettia block at Ocean Waves Quilting!!! WOW!!!
I love the all.. Everyone did a great job. patchwork times.
Loved the QN Blog because they talked about the Chicken Trilogy!! Always looking for chicken blocks!
Kay MacKenzie makes beautiful appliqués! I love her stuff!
I’m a big fan of Patchwork Times and her block is awesome! My other favorite is Springtime Spools. I can see lots of ways to use these in one of my favorite scrap quilts.
I absolutely love Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ block Springtime Spools. It is different from any pieced block that I have ever seen. While I do foundation piecing, applique and embroidery (Redwork) my absolute favorite is still piecing. I love the connection with quilting in the 4 spools of the block!
All the blogs were great and fun to read. I really liked how Laura Nownes told about being inspired by a room divider to make her block design.
I visited all of the sites but really took a liking to the Scarecrow Suprise Jennifer Ofenstein @sewhooked.com did. I’ve done paper piecing in the past and hope to do some again….just too many other projects on the go! Thanks for the give away
I loved Jennifer Ofenstein’s site. It was awesome to see the scarecrow in various stages of development. I also loved the variations of Sunbonnet Sue.
I visited Erin Cox’s blog at whynotsew.blogspot.com
I visited Don’t Call Me Betsy, which reminded me of my Betsy Wetsy doll I had as a child! The block she shared from the next Quiltmaker was adorable! I love the whimsy of two birds holding a block. It’s definitely one I’m going to make when I get the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks!
I follow Judy L.’s blog and really love it. Also follow Bonnie Hunter’s and love her. I found some new blogs that I will want to follow. Who doesn’t love Nancy Mahoney’s books?!
I chose Nancy Mahoney’s blog. I love her block and the colors she picked. I also love how she explains how she picks her blocks for quilts.
I just love the Don’t Call Me Betsy blog. She always has a great project to show and she makes me laugh.
Anything I won from this “100 Blocks” would be used to make a quilt for a Hurricane Sandy victim. I have a pile of fat quarters from Clothworld I won here on an earlier tour that is going to be made into a “Sandy” quilt. Thanks for chosing me in the past, and possibly the future.
I visited all the blogs — I just love seeing the new blocks! I especially appreciated that PamKittyMorning and OceanWavesQuilting showed how multiples of their block would look when made into a quilt!
I love Pam Vieira-McGinnis’ block–it looks a little challenging but I love the look of it.
I love the springtime spools block on pamkittymorningblogspot.com it is very cute. Lisa
I visited Erin Cox whynotsew blog.
. She also writes as if you are having an actual conversation.
Her little birdies are so darn cute. And she has some great tutes even one for homemade detergent
Great Blog. Thank you!
Erin Cox was my overall favorite but they’re all wonderful. So many blogs, so little time left to sew! Thank for this.
I really like Nancy Mahoney’s Florida Rose and Round and Round blocks quilt in the red and green. Cool fusible applique quilt. : – )
I love the Birdie quilts that Erin @ whynotsew makes. They’re just adorable!
My favorite blog was Denise Russart. She really brought back some memories. But it such fun to read how each person thinks when they are designing. Some think alot like me, then others are in such another place, it is very interesting to be let inside someone else’s head!
I love Erin’s Why Not Sew blog and her little birds are sooo cute on her block.
I’, very new to quilting, literally 5 months now, and am thoroughly enjoying this blog hop. I’m learning so much. From the Day 1 hop, I particularly liked Pam Kitty’s Springtime Spools. Thanks for the chance to learn about all of these great blogs!
Head is spinning keeping all the bloggers straight – but loved Erin Cox’s block – so sweet, and simple!!! Just adorable.
Love Erin’s Birds Holding A Quilt block. In fact, really liked her other birdie blocks, so I’ve become a follower of her blog. I expect I will be adding more blogs to my quilty reading list!
I loved the sweet little birds with a quilt block from Erin Cox. Such a cute idea.
I love to follow the fatquartershop blog. It’s very interesting to see all the new fabric lines coming out and to read about all the designers and where they get their inspiration. Usually have some nice and simple patterns that are gorgeous.
Thanks for the chance to win!!
the first 100 blox blog i read was the fat quarter shop’s blog … loved their blox and enjoyed browsing the new collections before responding to their blog question.
I enjoyed visiting Judy L’s Patchwork Times blog. Love all the tutorials and amusing stories she has to tell about the animals.
