100 Blocks Volume 4 Blog Tour

Welcome!!

I'm so glad you are here!


I was pretty excited when I first found out my block was going to be in 100 Blocks Vol 4. It still doesn't feel like it's 'real'... I keep pinching myself.

Here it is... County Crossroads


I used fabrics from one of my favorite Moda lines "Neptune" by Tula Pink.

The design process started with a pad of graph paper and colored pencils.. and after many ideas.. this is the design I settled on.

I must admit that I was so impressed with all the blocks in this issue! I honestly feel like I am still in "Quilting Kindergarten" compared to some of the amazing blocks in this issue!

Here is an example of what 9 of my County Crossroads blocks would look like together.. it gets an entire different feel doesn't it?


The magazine will be available for sale within a week. But for now.. if you want to get your hot little hands on a copy, just leave a comment.

I will be selecting 2 winners.. one for a magazine...


and a second winner will get a magazine AND this lovely charm pack of 6 inch squares.


Thanks again for stopping by!

Happy "touring".

    Heidi, congratulations on making it into Volume 4. There are some awesome designers in this volume as there continues to be throughout the QM 100 Blocks collection. I really like the "touring" as it gives us an opportunity to find out whose doing what. Your "Quilting Kindergarten" reference gave me a chuckle. Never suspected the secondary pattern that is created by putting your Country Crossroads together with others. A+! Thanks for an opportunity to win. Sandi
