100 Blocks Blog Tour

Welcome to the 100 Blocks Blog Tour! I'm glad to have you visit my blog today. I love to design quilt blocks and quilts from those blocks. And have talked about trying to get my patterns published for years, so having a block published in Vol. 4 of the magazine has been exciting for me. When designing I still do a lot of my initial sketching by hand. But when I really get down to working on block patterns and layouts I move to the computer. I have been using Visio for most of what I do because it lets me play with it and I have to admit that it's been easier to work with it because of the years of experience with it. I love to play with blocks that go together quickly and simply but look a lot more complex than they really are or have secondary patterns that develop when the blocks are put together.





This block started with the idea of ribbon winding around a square. It came together fairly easily, and I liked the secondary patterns that developed when the blocks were put together. The block started off looking like the block at the right. And one of the many layouts that I came up with is shown to the left. In the end I decided to simplify it just a little and took out the blue flying geese shown in the pics above. I don't think that anything was lost. When I made the sample quilt, I used a section of the block to make a border for one side of the quilt.


Be sure to leave me a comment if you'd like to win one of two copies of the magazine! And if you leave a comment as "anonymous" please make sure to include a way to contact you if your is drawn.


Gratitudes -
1. A new, more efficient heater with the cold temps that are outside!
2. For the good day at South Newton High School today with the kids. =)

    Your block is so cool, I love the design! More ironic was the quote you had today. I had a long conversation with a younger man (40) today at the car repair shop who believes the world is coming to an end soon. I ended our conversation with a statement that in order to breathe, we need to wake up with hope and possibility. Now I'm proven!

    What a neat block. I love it when you get a 2ndary design that happens. How was the border row done on the turquois/white/yellow top shown? Thanks for the chance to win.

    Very exciting for you being published in Vol 4. Yay! Congratulations. I really love the ribbon look in your block and the runner with that border is amazing. I really love this one. Great job. The black and gold block is beautiful. That's my favorite I think.

    I love your block. It really does look like ribbon weaving in and out. Would make a great holiday runner as well. I like hearing how blocks come to be so thanks or sharing. Congrats on being in Quiltmaker's 100. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Now I remember exactly how I've seen your site before.....as a link from quilterscache.com, one of my favorite websites! I guess I haven't made any of your blocks, but I've admired them. What I DO use over and over again is your enlarging/shrinking chart, and I share it with fellow quilters a lot. Thanks so much for a great tool!
