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.

 

Here is a little mock up of my block in and edge to edge design. 

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.

And now, for the fun stuff...

Would you like a chance to win a copy of the magazine??

I've got extra copies to send out! (And I might even throw in some fabric scraps as well.)  All you need to do is leave a comment on this post.  Maybe tell me what kind of scraps you'd be interested in.  I'll pick winners on Monday.  If you want more chances to win, become a follower and leave a 2nd comment telling me so.  Don't forget to stop by the Quiltmaker's Blog as well. They are doing a bunch of giveaway's all week.

Good Luck!
