Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Hop
Good morning!!! Welcome to the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7 blog tour! I'm always thrilled to be included in this great magazine. Thanks to the people at Quiltmaker for including me!
My block in volume 7 is called Crossed Spools and it's on page 71. It looks a lot more complicated than it is, and Quiltmaker has written up some nice instructions for it.
Here's an option that I came up with. Pretty simple, using my favorite yellow dot and yellow LoveBirds on white! You can always count on seeing something yellow on white with me!
I hope you leave a comment here, for a chance to win a magazine from Quiltmaker, and be sure and hop to the Quilty Pleasures blog as there are prizes there as well. When you get your magazine, check the last page for a contest there. Did you know you could win the actual blocks in the magazine?
Ok, time for me to get to work! Have a great day! xo
