It's time to reveal my block in the QuiltMaker Magazine's 100 Blocks issue- block #309 on page 22. I do love my applique whether it be needle turn or quick fuse. I also love my poinsettias! I called this bock Winter Blooms. It can be made with red flowers also. I kind of like the white ones myself. I made it into a table runner as follows-
I would be a nice addition to a festive table. I added a 2" border. I also repeated the block for a small wall quilt. Here is one with a 1-1/2" sashing and 3" border. It would also be nice if the flowers were all different shades of reds or golds on black background. I'm honored to be included again this year. I'll have a drawing for a free copy of the QuiltMaker's 100 Blocks magazine. Leave a comment and I'll draw several winners later today.
OK, a last minute thought, everyone who comments today only is also in the drawing for the new panel I designed, Wintersong, shown at the right. The entire fabric line will be in your local quilt shops in January.
Lovely block and I love the tablerunner you made from it.
ReplyDeleteMore flowers to add to my 100 Blocks sampler! Thanks for the giveaway.

Your Winter Blooms block is gorgeous. I like the white flowers myself, but then again you could alternate with the red for the quilt. All of the designers for this blog tour have done a spectular job for all of the easy block patterns. Now, all we have to do, is somehow manage to win that copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 4 for ourselves to enjoy.
