Tunnel vision is my favourite so far
My favorite block so far is “Bird of Happiness”.
Tunnel Vision, for sure!
I can’t decide between “Something Springy” from Diane Bohn, “Shabby Spin” from Melissa Corry and “Doodle Bug” from Sue Marsh! All blocks are so awesome!
Hi! I like Bonnie’s block, but I’m also thrilled with the wool bird appliqué/embroidery block. I’d love to win a copy! Thanks for a chance to win.
The sweet owl block from Mary of The Tulip Patch is very fetching. But my vote (from this selection) is for Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang. Lots of lovely opportunities for scraps.
Big Bang by Bonnie Hunter is my absolute favorite today.
Something Springy! It’s so fresh and fun!
Bird of Happiness is my favorite so far. I love doing applique work with additional embellishments of buttons, beads, lace and embrodiery.
Cosmo Cricket’s LOVE block is my favorite so far.
Honestly, the Bird of Happiness by Gretchen Gibbons really has me wanting to try it! With its mixed fabrics and techniques, I think it would make a nice pillow challenge
I like the Roly Poly Owl block. It’s a fun way to use the traditional drunkards path block.
You can’t beat the flowers in the Bird of Happiness block…if only I appliqued:(
Bonnie Hunter over at Quiltville says it all for me with “Big Bang”! What an gal, who doesn’t love her work!
something springy
Not fair to have to chose one but I love Mary Lane Brown’s two-fer block (owl or fish).
I love the OWL block by Mary Lane Brown at Tulip Patch! How cute! And it’s cool how you can change the direction and turn it into a fish.
Thanks for a chance to win! 
I love Bonnie Hunter’s “Big Bang” block. I can see myself making this soon.
I liked Tunnel Block.
Amy Rullkoetter’s Tunnel Vision is my favorite today.
Love them all! Tunnel Vision has me already thinking which fabrics to use so will go with that one as today’s favorite!
I’ve seen lots of great blocks so far! One that I especially like is Doodle Bug because it just makes me smile. Oh, and the one that can be an owl or a fish is very cute and clever.
Love the tunnel vision, but also love the applique blocks…..love them all!
My favorite block is “Dancing Leaves”. My mind is spinning on how I will incorporate it into a quilt. I have so many Fall colors in my stash just waiting to be picked. sewsilly@cox.net
My favorites are the scrappy ones, so Bonnie Hunter is at the top of my current list!
Sandy Fitzpatrick’s acorn is my favorite so far, but Sue Marsh’s Bug is a close second.
Tunnel vision by far!
They are all my favorites!
Doodle bug will have to be my favorite today, although the owl and big bang were very close contenders
I’m a fan of applique though I am very slow in making them. I love the puppy above as it reminds me of Saturday cartoons with the kids and now my grand kids. Wonderful memories!
Tunnel vision is my favorite. It has lots of movement in it and the colors are great.
I am liking Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang!!! But I am biased- I love everything she does!
Happy Puppy makes me happy:)
I love Bonnie Hunter very much. Today´s block Big Bang is scrappy as usual and I love it.
I love Jennifer Chiaverini’s Coffee Mill block – so versatile and user-friendly!
If I can only choose one : ( I would have to say the bird of paradise. It is lovely.
I am trying tovist as many sites as possible – there sre so many talented quilters around. I went to Mary Lane Brown tulip-patch.blogspot.com because of her Owl – roly poly she called her – she is so cute!
I’m in love with Whistlepig Creek’s bug, it’s so adorable. Thanks.
I love so many of them, but I will say Diane’s springy block is my fav.
I love the “Bird of Happiness” block.
This happy puppy has to be one of my favorites… I”need” to make one soon..
I love coffee mill
I love Acorns Away but could be swayed by Dancing Leaves.
Love tunnel vision!
I really loved Bonnie’s “Big Bang”, but I think my absolute favorite of the day is Melissa Corry’s “Shabby Spin”!!
There are so many good ones but BONNIE HUNTER’S BIG BANG is my pick…..wonderful!!

Peaks and Valleys by Carolyn McCormick
I love the tunnel vision block. wonderful design and color…
I like several of the blocks including Big Bang but the one that made me want to pull out my stash was Cross Keys by Gina Gempesaw. I might need to try it with Red, white, and blue on this election day.
If I had to pick one, it would be Big Bang!
I’m a fan of Dancing Leaves!
Bird of Happiness is my favourite block so far!
Dancing Leaves is my favorite from today’s tour!

What great blocks! My favorite is Tunnel Vision!
I get to show 3 of my Tester Blocks today! My favorite is hard to choose. I liked the colors for Diane Bohn’s Something Springy block. But the techniques used for Shabby Spin and Tunnel Vision were Easy Peasy! Today is Bonnie Hunter and Judy Laquidara’s day too. I follow and read their Blogs every day! Thanks for the blog Tour.
I absolutely love Bonnie K. Hunter’s block. I have already started piecing it in my mind and can’t wait to start working on the real thing!
I’d have to say Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang or Debbie Kratovil’s Divided Diamonds. They’re all wonderful!
Love the acorn block. It is very appealing.
Bird of Happiness……thank you!!
Have seen so many blocks that are my favorites! Can’t wait to get volume 6! Love Happy Puppy – he’s just so – happy.
Several good ones today. Always love Bonnie Hunter. But love the
Shabby spin block in pinks and blacks and that Bird of happiness is really nice also.
I could use it right now as a gift.
So many great blocks, but so far I like the whisltepig bug the best.

Mary Lane Brown’s owl– especially when it’s a fish!– is my favorite, with the darling arctic seal pup not too far behind. Two all-time favorites of mine are Jennifer Chiaverini (of course) and Debby Kratovil (whom I’ve had for three classes at Quilting Expo and from whom I would happily take 30 more) are also represented and have beautiful blocks.
I like the Big Bang block, so much color and motion. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love Tunnel Vision and the L O V E block by Cosmo Cricket! Such fun and inspiration!
The Roly Poly Owl is adorable and so clever made from drunkard’s path!

My favorite so far is the doodle bug from whistlepig creek. Thanks for the chance to win.
I fell in love with Sandy’s acorn block and layouts! Awesome!

I love a lot of them but my favorite is Debby Kratovil’s Divided Diamonds Block. My next favorite would be Jennifers Coffee Mill block. They are all great blocks but those are my two favorites.
Bonnie is the Besssst, Love all she does, and would love the new 100 blocks books, thanks for the great Blog hop.
Ok, I’m having a blast, this is so much fun, surely I’m loving all the blocks, but I need to pick one, I’ll choose Doodle Bug, it’s so stinkin’ cute!!!! :*
It is too hard to choose just one but so far I love the Gingham Girls “Dancing Leaves.”iIt is very pretty and would make a great tablerunner!!
I love all of the blocks. This would be so much fun to have. I love the Happy Puppy applique block. I can see a quilt out of this for my 2 little granddaughters. I love Bonnie Hunter’s big bang block, and I love the Coffee Mill block with Caroline’s fabric. This is so much fun.
Really enjoying the blog tour. I was unaware of the 100 Blocks volumes until seeing this on Facebook. Thank you.
I like “Something Springy” the best so far.
oooo, I like so many of them, but I love Coffee Mill block by Jennifer Chiaverini. It is so versatile, and I can see using it in many ways. Thanks so much for these previews. The blocks are so inspiring.

Oh so hard to choose. But the bug bit me. Sue Marsh’s bug block is just to cute!
I love the block Doodle Bug, so cute. Of course anything by Bonnie Hunter I love
That owl block stole my heart.
I love Diane Bohn’s block!
Gorgeous bunch of blocks today – so tough to pick one, but will go with Debby Kratovil’s lovely block.
I love everything Bonnie Hunter designs.
All of the blocks so far are exceptional. Still, I have to choose one and that one would be Doodle Bug. This is so cute and would make a perfect bug bucket for a child. I can just see this on Christmas Eve. My great nephew’s eyes would be so big and I can just see the smile on his face. Thank you for all your hard work and all the wonderful inspiration and ideas for Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks, Volume 6.

All three today are my favorite. If I had to choose I would say the happy bird one. But all are equally fabulous.
There are sooooooooooo many wonderful blocks!! Doodle Bug really stands out though! He is just too cute!

I love the block, Bird of Happiness!
I am partial to bird blocks so I really like the Bird of Happiness.

I can’t pick just one! My two favorites are Something Springy star from Blank Page and Coffee Grinder from Jennifer Chiaverini. Both just wonderful!
Sew happy to hop along with my favorite magazine!
I like Amy’s Tunnel Vision. I wonder how it would look in a whole quilt setting and what secondary design would show up.

Gretchens’ Bird of Happiness is just beautiful! Great color combination! Tunnel vision is neat,too!
HI there,
I really like the Bird of Happiness, made with the wool.

Cross Keys so far. Very versatile. There a re quite a few I’d like to try.
I always love Bonnie Hunter’s blocks, but my favorite today was the owl from Tulip Patch because my mom has always loved owls–I need to make that one for her.
Tunnel Vision is such a unique block. It caught my attention right away.
The Owl from the Tulip Patch is very cute – and it can be turned into fish too!
My favorite block today was Smoky Mountains. I’m seeing it scrappy.
I think one of my favorites is Karen Combs, Smoky Mountains…I love her work…but it was a hard choice…so many really great blocks!
I love Acorns Away, Coffee Mill, the L O V E block, Dancing Leaves and Something Springy, but Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang takes the blue ribbon!
I love Bonnie Hunter’s blocks. I enjoy uses scraps almost as much as she does.

I love the paper pieced seal on Tonya’s blog…so cute and original!
Gosh! Choosing one block is like eating just one piece of chocolate. Impossible! However, right now I’m really liking “Big Bang”, “Tunnel Vision,” and the “Roly Poly Owl” blocks. Please don’t make me narrow it down any further!
All the blocks are fabulous, BUT, I have to say Happy Puppy is my favorite. My daughter is expecting my first grandchild, and is decorating the nursery in a Puppy Theme, so will HAVE to make this. Will have to have Vol. 6. Thanks for the preview!
BONNIE HUNTER’S BIG BANG is my favorite! and more….
Tunnel Vision is awesome!
Ohh, just love Bonnie K Hunter’s Big Bang.
I just love “tunnel vision” it is so beautiful in those colors. However the puppy block is just adorable and as I am one with 9 grand kids.
Mary over in the Tulip Patch has adorable owls. I especially bonded with the owl whose eyes are going every which way. I can soooo relate on some days!
Day two designers are just as fun as day one! Lots of really great block designs… makes me want to get in the sewing room!
I can’t pick just one – I love Tunnel Vision and Shabby Spin and Cross Keys!

Sandy Fitzpatrick’s Acorns Away is my favorite today!
I like Tunnel Vision and Big Bang…so much inspiration in this magazine!

‘bird of happiness’ is gorgeous! my favorite!
I love Bonnie Hunter’s block. I like using scraps and her blocks are so fun!!
oh so hard -Peaks and Valleys I think… but if you ask me again tomorrow it may be different…
I like Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang block. I loved her bright version, but I could see it done in lots of different fabrics… batiks, pastels, homespun, reproduction, etc.
I liked several, but Debby Kratovil’s Divided Diamonds block was particularly intriguing!
I like Divided Diamonds. Very impressive block.
There are so many great blocks but my favorite is Bird of Happiness.
I like the ski slope block & also the scarecrow, both of which are on your cover. Thanks!

Lots of fun again today! Spinning leaves and Acorns Away are my favorite from today!
Bonnie Hunter’s Big Bang block is my fav so far…. but all are lovely!! So many blocks.. so little time…
Ohhh…I love the bug block at Whistlepig Creek! Too Cute!
I love Jennifer Chiaverini’s books and her block is so pretty! Love that she shows it done in several different fabric combinations. It helps me visualize how it might look in fabrics I have.
Tunnel Vision is my favorite so far
Tunnel Vision is the most unique so far. Really interesting.
Oh gosh, choosing my favorite block so far is not an easy thing. There are so many awesome blocks and many are sharing the top spot in my favorites list for different reasons. I guess if I have to choose just one, it has to be the Doodle Bug block from Whistlepig. That is just an adorable block and because I am thinking about children/baby quilts it’s a great option for me to use very soon.
So many, so many (already), but I LOVE the Roly Poly Owl by Mary Lane Brown.
I like the fabric choices in Sandy Fitzpatrick’s acorn block.
I love Bonnie Hunter’s block, Big Bang is my favorite, but the Happy Puppy by Rob Stanphill is too cute.
I love the Bug block over at the Whistlepig Creek blog!
I really like Tunnel Vision and anything from Bonnie Hunter.. I just like anything quilty!!
There are so many wonderful blocks that it’s hard to pick one favourite. So many techniques & styles make each block appealing. I do really love Gretchen’s “Bird of Happiness”. Thanks for a chance at the give-away.

I like the whimsy in Doddle Bug and the Nostalgia of Snow Day. Just LOVE the 100 blocks blog tour. Thank you!
The Big Bang block by Bonnie Hunter is definitely my favorite. I also like the Bird of Happiness block by Gretchen Gibbons.
Hi!! This is fun!!! I like all the blocks I have seen so far!!!! But Big Bang is really awesome!! I love the fabrics and design!!!! Thanks for the fun!!!
I love the Bird of Happiness block! I want to make one.
So far the Big Bang block is my favorite. Of course, with a whole new set of blocks tomorrow, I could change my mind.
Love the Happy Puppy, but can’t wait to make Tunnel Vision!
I’m a sucker for batik fabrics so Tunnel Vision really caught my eye. Just beautiful!
I love Sandy’s Acorn block and Debby’s Owl block.
Jennifer Chiaverini has been favorite block.
I always love Bonnie Hunter’s designs and Big Bang is no exception. But I also really like Cross Keys by Gem Hill. I love the way she set it together with pieced sashing.
I think Scrap Attack is so far my favorite. I can see me using up lots of scraps with it!
Diane Bohn’s paper pieced star is, well, stellar! I love the second arrangement–I never really thought about switching out pieces for white to make a smaller version of it. She’s so darn clever! Also, Melissa pink and black block really caught my eye–such a dynamic pairing of color and it looks like the secondary design will be just as fabulous. Ohh, Marica Derse–she has been my favorite designer for years now and I’m so excited to see her fabrics on your cover! The red/green/yellow combo is a stunner :O)
My favourite so far is Denise Russart’s Snow Day.
Love, love, LOVE the 100 Block series! It gives me ideas, block I want to make, new techniques to try, and a wide variety of artists and their styles. THANKS!
I spent over 5 hours on Tuesday afternoon and evening trying to get to all these blogs. Good thing my hubby wasn’t home for supper. The election must have slowed the computer down. But now it is past midnite, and it is Wed , and it turns out that one of the simplest blocks, the LOVE block is my most likely to get done in the very near future, since it is so versatile! Thanks for these 100 blocks tours, this is my 4th.
I like Karen Combs Smoky Mountain block. I really like her choice of colors.
tunnel vision has a bit of a fibonacci vibe going on. <3
All the blocks are great but my favorite today is “Dancing Leaves” by Ann from Gingham Girls.
I haven’t made it to all the blogs from yesterday yet but so far today I really love the block designed by Melissa Corry at Happy Quilting. She designed a block that looks like it has lots of possibilities.
So hard to choose. . .but Big Bang made a BIG impression. Thanks for doing this.
I like the rainbow colors of Tunnel Vision.
Hmm.. Coffee Mill and Something Springy
Out of today’s choice of 13 blocks, I like both the acorn and the doodle bug. If I have to choose, I would take the acorn.

Tunnel Vision…
Tunnel Vision i agree… is the favorite for me…
Tunnel Vision is my favorite but all the blocks are nice!!
The puppy is soooo cute!
I really like the coffee mill block!
My pick for Day 2 is Sandy Fitzpatrick’s Acorn Block. It’s just perfect for using all the fall colors that I love.
It is so hard to choose just one but I will go with Tunnel Visiion.
I didn’t get through all the links, but I do like the Roly Poly Owl turned sideways into a fish! Made a very cute little baby quilt!
So many favorite blocks already…but I’ve forgotten the names! Perhaps I should WRITE them down? Nestlings by Robin had some swell blocks! Thanks!
On some designers’ pages I can’t leave a comment due to having no idea how to come up with an HTML so I’ve been limited on commenting.
I rather like the Gretchen’s Bird of Paradise block.
I am beginning to love wool applique as a change of pace so the Bluebird of Happiness would be my favorite choice so far.
I love looking through all the designers sites! lots of sweet stuff to look at and get ideas from!
Tunnel Vision is hard to beat…Love Acorns away too.
My favorite pattern so far is Tunnel Vision. I love the twirling ribbon effect.
It’s hard to chose but I like Bird of Happiness best and the puppy is cute!
I love Bird of Happiness. It reminds me of crewel embroidery from days gone by.
Love the bird of happiness!
It was so hard to choose just one, but so far my favorite is Jennifer Chiaverini’s Coffee Mill block.
I love Bonnie Hunter’s Big Band block….so colourful! I love her scrappy style!
That should be Big Bang block…lol. Maybe she should do a Big Band one too!
Tunnel Vision is a bit different from anything I’ve made before. Might have to try it.
I like “Something Springy” by Diane Bohn.
I checked out three blogs this time – Jennifer Chiaverini, Bonnie Hunter and Debbie Kratovil. I have taken classes from BH and DK, and won JC’s Rosa’s Collection of FQs in Williamsburg! I do love the Coffee Mill block from JC, and enjoy both paper piecing and applique – trying to get more accuracy!
Birds Holding a Quilt is my very favorite block so far. It’s cute and quirky.
Tunnel Vision by Amy Rullkoetter, and Sawtooth Log Cabin by Kay Gentry really love both of them
