Yea! Today is my stop on the Blog Tour for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks (Vol. 7).
I was excited to have my block included in this edition.

There I am, Block #652 on page 47.
Sorry about the confusion with the wrong blog name/address by my block. When I submitted my block early last fall I was still blogging with my sisters and hadn't thought about that being an issue. Oh, well. It all works out in the end, right?

Last year, while I was in the throngs of quilt club block making I came up with this design. It's not anything innovative or ground-breaking, but sometimes a little tweak makes all the difference.
After making a block for one of my ladies I decided that it needed a little extra punch. So I chopped it down, added the white skinny strip and then added the framing border. I love the addition of the skinny white strip. In my mind that gives it the extra pop it needs.
Pretty cool, huh?
You could definitely make this design in a million different ways. I sure did!
Here it is in brown and pink
And purple and yellow.
And here is the quilt I made out of my red blocks.
If you didn't know already, I LOVE red quilts!
I even have an entire pinterest board dedicated to them, so this is my nod to traditional red quilts. All the blocks are made with the same layout, but as you can see value placement will changes the look of the block as well.

So exciting to be published Emily! Hooray for you :o) I could not agree with you more about red & white quilts...they just have a quiet goodness about them!
I think I'm one of those rare people who dislikes red. I love using blue and green scraps in my quilts.

Congratulations on having your block included. Great samples of different color ways. Anything blue is is lovely.
I love the red blocks. I have always wanted to make a red quilt like that! Congratulations and thanks for the chance to win a copy!
I love all scraps. I just need to start using them and stop hoarding them. Ha Ha
I use my scraps for applique projects. I would probably use them for a lot more if they were organized!
