Well, how exciting is this?! The Quiltmaker 100 Blocks: Vol. 2 is out now and my block is right in there at number #197! And boy am I in good company... There are so many amazing designers in here and lots of options for using the blocks in quilts.
Okay well, that seems like more than 100 blocks to me... It betcha it's because volume 1 was so popular they decided to pick right up where they left off at 100. Sensible, eh?
It's giveaway time!
To celebrate the release, and because my stash could use some serious cleaning out, I have THREE prizes to giveaway. Each winner will receive a copy of 100 Blocks and one of three layer cakes. All you have to do is leave a comment by and and three winners will be drawn at random on Friday, November 12th.
To sweeten the celebration, and because it's going to be lots of fun, come back Friday to see the winner and you might just find a free little project using my block. Freebies are AWESOME... :)
I would love to win a copy of "100 Blocks" and a layer cake. Thank you for having this giveaway.

ReplyDeleteWOW-WEE! I really like your block (even if you weren't holding a contest to win FABRIC!) Sometimes I wonder about leaving a comment on giveaways - I think maybe the owner might think I just want to win, and not care about the post. Or maybe that I'm a suck-up in order to be chosen as the winner. Yes, I would like to win, but I really do like your block - I'm so anxious for Friday to see your project! Now I just have to get through all 300+ blog posts in my Google reader - I'm a bit behind!! See you Friday :)
