Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Tour

 Today is my day on the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Tour! 


I'm excited to finally get to show you my block!  I used Joel Dewberry's Modern Meadow along with some gray solid fabrics.  It is Block #285.


Some of you who did the Jelly Roll Quilt Along may think it looks vagely familiar.  That's because the block I designed for the JRQA was the inspiration for this block.  Here is my Jelly Roll block:


I added some cornerstones in the nine patch to add a repetative element.  I made a quilt using sashing between the blocks to echo that repetative element one additional time.  You can see another picture of my quilt on page 21 of the same magazine in the Designer's Gallery!


You can create your own sampler quilt from this magazine.  It will be in quilt shops next week.

Leave a comment below for a chance to win a copy of this fun magazine!

And check out others on the tour today:

    I guess I'm first! I love this block! I have to say that it's more interesting than your jelly roll block. Don't hate me for saying that. :-) And, congrats for getting in this magazine! Awesome!

    Love the Joel Dewberry fabric. It is such an intersting block. At first glance it looks like a regular 9-patch, but it has far more detail. With the solid sashing it lets the fabric shine.
