Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Volume 12
Hi there old friends and new! I'm excited that it's my turn on the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Hop. Did you know that I have a block in each issue of the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine? Very exciting to me as the competition gets stiffer each edition!
My block, #1199, is Hollyhocks. I've always loved the old fashioned flowers, and have had mixed luck with them in the garden but in the sewing room I can always have good luck. This would be the perfect time to bust out your stash and go hog wild with single color blooms...
Or mix it up with multicolor flowers on your stem. It might not happen in nature but you are you own gardener indoors at your sewing machine.
Make one long plant for a table runner, or combine more blocks for a quilted garden of Hollyhocks. I have staggered the blocks in this photoshopped version of a Hollyhocks quilt.
Photoshop sewing is fun! But not as fun as getting out real fabric and stitching it up. This quilt would just take 12 blocks! Mix up your greens for some leaves! You can go scrap wild!
Ok, now be sure and hop right on over to the Quilty Pleasures blog to see who else is showing off their blocks today. And watch for my buddy Greg on Wednesday, his beautiful East Side Rose block is totally gorgeous in Pam Kitty Garden fabric!
Want to win a copy of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 12? Leave a comment here and I'll pick a winner next week! Quiltmaker will send you a copy so you can make your own Hollyhocks block and 99 other great blocks! There are lots of chances to win, leave comments on all the blog stops along the way!
Ok, have fun people! It can be spring in your sewing room all year round if you want! xo

Would love to make a hollyhock blossom! My grand mom had them in her garden....lovely!
What a wonderful block. It has a touch of being a vintage block, yet modern. I love the way you show it with the soft print as the background. I tend to use solids as background. Thank you for challenging me to get out and try something different.

Hollyhocks - that's not a flower you hear of much! There's so many ways you could make this too! Love it!
Such a sweet block; I'm longing for spring now!

Love your flower block! I've never tried growing hollyhocks, but love yours!!
I grow hollyhocks in my garden. Thanks for the lovely block and a chance to win.
Oh that's lovely - and right up my alley, too. I'm still very new to all this, so that piecing looks pretty straightforward.
We love your block, PKM. Thanks so much for being with us on the blog tour and for faithfully submitting a design for each issue. It's always fun to see what you come up with--ever fresh. Have a great week!

Your block looks great and reminds me of spring ... the absolute right thing on this grey november day!

This is my favorite block today.
Pretty, pretty, pretty - love Hollyhocks.
Yeah, I too am a better quilter than gardener. Great block!
Pretty block! I love the mixed flowers in the one block. Thanks for sharing and for the giveaway.
Very cute block!
tstanulis@verizon.net
such a pretty block
I want to make a pink baby quilt this would be perfect
Spring all year round sounds great to me! Congratulations for being in all 12 issues. I have the first eleven.
Now I know where to use my polka dot fabric.
beautiful and a great stash buster block! thanks for sharing.
I love your hollyhocks block, especially in reds! What a fun way to use some scraps.
I love your block because I'm a fan of piecing vs. applique. Can see lots of possibilities.
What a great block - I love it!
Pretty block. Congrats on making every issue. Thanks.
Sew love this. Hollyhocks are my favorite front yard flower. Mine get these bugs all the time and Dave threatens to kill them for good. But the wind takes seeds all over the yard and by July I have Hollyhocks with bitten leaves. It doesn't bother me. I just am glad for them. This is a winner block!!!!
Your block is really cute - and one that I certainly will make, pulling out my 1930's fabrics.
I love your block! Very clever how the flowers are pieced - it gives a lot of depth with scrappy prints. Great - now there's another project on my never-ending list of quilts to make. :)
