Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Issue 10 Blog Tour

November 21, 2014July 28, 2020 163 comments

QMMS-140050-cover_200Hi everyone! Welcome to Seams like a Dream and the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Blog Tour. Wow! 10 issues, 100 blocks each= 1000 blocks!

We are so excited to be part of the fun.

 

 

 

 

Here is our block, Starry Hearts.

QMMS-140050-BALD-COLLERAN

I know everyone is prepping for the upcoming Thanksgiving, Chanukah and  Christmas holidays, but really, Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it!

It would be pretty easy to take the block and make it into a table topper or wall hanging.

Something like this: Isn’t that fun? I love dots.

Starry hearts Wall Hanging Dots

Or, if you want a slightly calmer background, you could do this.

Starry Hearts Wall Hanging Gray

Or you could use four blocks and make them into a spiffy table runner. Like this:

Starry Hearts Runner

Or, if you didn’t want to use traditional colors for your hearts, how about this?

Starry Hearts Runner in Blue

So many options!!

Want to make a runner? It is pretty easy.

The runner finishes to 14″ x 50″.

Make 4 blocks following the directions in the magazine. Sew them into a long row.

Get ½ yard of border/ binding fabric and ⅞ yard of backing fabric.

From the  border fabric cut 4 strips 1 ½” x WOF and piece them together.

Cut into 2 side borders 1 ½” x 48 ½” and 2 borders for the top and bottom at 1 ½” x 14 ½”. Sew the borders first to the sides and then to the top and bottom.

Cut the backing fabric into 2 pieces, about 20″ x 29″ each.  Sew them together and trim to a backing piece about 20″ x 56″. Quilt as desired and bind. You will probably need 4 strips to make the binding ( I use 2 ¼” double fold binding for most projects though, for a runner, you could just use 1 ½” strips and make single fold binding).

Have fun with the block- and if you play around with it, pleases, send us a photo! We would love to see what you do.

QMMS-140050-cover_200In the meantime, would you like to win a copy of Quiltmaker’s 100Blocks Issue 10?? Of course you would!

Well, leave a comment and, if you want, you could tell us what colors you would make your block in. Comments will be open until I get up Saturday morning- then I will draw a winner.

Ok. 2 winners.

happy quilting,

Kate

Contest is closed- winners have been picked! Thanks everyone!

  21. Ruth says:
    November 21, 2014 at 7:08 am

    Of course the heart would have to be red and I would probably use dark red in the center and then a lighter red with white and pink surrounding it.

  22. Joyce Carter says:
    November 21, 2014 at 7:11 am

    Oh, your block is sooo cute. Congratulations and thank you for the giveaway. I would use pinks to make the block since that is one of my favorite colors.

  36. Lee Ann L. says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:09 am

    I am thinking purple and green. Purple for the inner heart and green for the outer. Or, maybe the other way around? It’d be fun to play around! 🙂

    Congrats!

  37. Gill says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:10 am

  39. Vicki H says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:22 am

  41. Karyn Ashley-Smith says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:25 am

    What a sweet block! Thanks for showing the table topper,. It always makes a huge difference to see it with other blocks. Love that secondary pattern! I think I would be traditional and go with Red/Black/White/Gray, or Pink/B/W/G. Somehow, it’s only Red or Pink that screams valentines to me.

  42. Dorothy Schreyer says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:30 am

    I love your pinks! I think I would stay with those colors. But, I could see this made in homespun muted reds and golds too.

  43. Nancy says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:32 am

    I’m thinking Xmas fabrics will look great.

  44. Becky T says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:33 am

    Blue and yellow would be fun I think.

  45. Sandra Timmons says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:34 am

    You are so right. Valentine’s Day will just be around the corner after surviving Thanksgiving and Christmas. I would like to make your cute blocks in red and white. That would be so cute. Of course, I love the color pink, so maybe I could choose red, pick and white. I also enjoy all your layouts. This is so helpful in deciding where to go with your block. Thank you for being a part of this fun Blog Tour and the chance to win a copy of this collector’s magazine.

  51. Deborah DeBerry says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:04 am

    I think I would use pink and lavender, for my little granddaughter. Any color combination would work with this, just find out what the favorite colors are of the recipient.

  52. Pat K says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:04 am

    This block would be great in red, white and blue to show love of country. Along those lines, it would be great in a Quilts of Valor project. And in your original colors, it would be wonderful in a project showing love and care for a breast cancer patient. Thank you for incorporating the heart in the star.

  53. Margaret Schindler says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:06 am

    I love the pink colorway

  57. Kathy Franklin says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:22 am

  61. Karen Smith says:

    Wow! a block and directions for a runner. I love quilters. I’d do this in oranges and reds, I think.

  62. tina says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:56 am

  63. KT says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:12 am

    I think your block would look great in red and aqua. Love it!

  64. Laurie P says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:16 am

    What a wonderful block. I think I would have to go with red and green and make it a wonderful X-mas runner. Congrats on being chosen to be in the magazine.

  65. Emma says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:24 am

    I love pink, so I use Valentine’s Day as an excuse to go crazy with it every year! I think it is my favorite holiday to quilt for!

  66. Kathie L says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:30 am

    I think I’d do pink and orange!

  67. Jennifer says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:31 am

    Oh, wow! Just so many color possibilities and all would be WONderful! The first one I’d make would be red for the hearts in the center but a mix of greens (no salad pun, intended) around it. Or maybe purples, then it wouldn’t have such a Christmas-y look…not that it would be a bad thing! Thanks for the inspiration!

  68. Margaret Andrews says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:31 am

    Thanks for the math problem to start out the day. What a cute block. I love the heart in the middle. Makes it so special. I would like to make it part of my new grandbaby quilt in soft muted colors with a bright beautiful heart in the middle. Thanks for sharing.

  83. Deb says:
    November 21, 2014 at 12:29 pm

    I like hearts and the star really sets it off, love it. and the dots are charming. I would use blue, something similar to your table runner colors. The possibilities are endless and I’m sure I’d also use it with pinks/reds maybe for a pillow. Congratulations girls for a great design and being picked for this special issue!

  84. Dawn Jones says:
    November 21, 2014 at 12:36 pm

    Teal Black and White.

  91. Rochelle says:
    November 21, 2014 at 1:26 pm

    I love the colors of your bock. If I were changing I might make it in reds. But really think soft pinks for a baby quilt.

  92. Wendy Arend says:
    November 21, 2014 at 1:32 pm

    LOVE the dots. Must have more dots…

  93. Shari Heath says:

    The pinks are the colors of granddaughters room, just gorgeous how you picked those fabrics to make a stunning block. Thanks so much.

  100. Maryellen says:
    November 21, 2014 at 2:18 pm

    Great block! I would use pinks, reds and whites for a fun Valentine runner, with an accent of lavender. I’ll have to look for fabric!

  101. Joanna says:
    November 21, 2014 at 2:20 pm

    I like the blue and yellow combo, but I would probably use Valentine colors to make my version. Looks great.

  102. Diane O says:
    November 21, 2014 at 2:40 pm

  103. Jocelyn says:

  104. Louise Jordan says:
    November 21, 2014 at 2:47 pm

    Such a sweet block pink and lavender would be my color choices

  105. Aune Mattila says:
    November 21, 2014 at 2:57 pm

    Your block is very beautiful. If not those colors perhaps green and red at different tones. Greetings from Finland!

  106. Betty Woodlee says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:28 pm

    Your block is beautiful. For a baby girl quilt, I would use mint and pink.

  107. Rhonda says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:29 pm

    Beautiful block! Hubby’s favorite color is red and my’s purple so figuring how to use both colors would be a bit hard. I know, I make two…one with reds, blacks and whites and one with purple, orange, teal and golden yellow.

  108. Dorothy R Holt says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:29 pm

    Hard to beat your color choice of Pinks! Kind of a “loving” heart look to it.. Keep up the good work!
    I might like to try this block in pure reds and blacks!

  109. Janet T says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:41 pm

    I like the colors you used. Very pretty!

  110. Aby Dolinger says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:42 pm

    What a sweet block! All the girly-girls in my acquaintance would like a quilt in pink and purple.
    (My block, Intersections, is also in Vol. 10, so no need to enter me in the drawing for a free magazine.)
    Congrats!

  111. Elizabeth Bolton says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:56 pm

    The eternal question! Right now I’m itching to use yellow and grey together (yin and yang for where I live, too – Grays Harbor, Washington – where it truly is grey a lot of the time, with occasional bits of sun) in something – why not this?!

  112. LINDA says:
    November 21, 2014 at 3:57 pm

    HI, wouldn’t reds and whites be neat for Valentines gifts!
    Love your runner! Thanks for sharing!

  113. Stacy says:
    November 21, 2014 at 4:02 pm

    I would love to use white and black. Thanks for the giveaway!

  114. Melody Lutz says:

    I am making table runners for each month. This pattern will be good for February. Might try it in Christmas colors for December.

    How about 1 in Oranges/tans/browns for fall, one in red/green for Christmas, one in red/pink for Valentines–well you get the idea. One for every holiday. Cute runner for a quick gift.

    I like this block! Even though pink is a favorite color…I think I might throw a bit of aqua in there.

  123. Kris B says:
    November 21, 2014 at 6:14 pm

  124. Heather says:
    November 21, 2014 at 6:19 pm

  130. Sarah says:
    November 21, 2014 at 7:22 pm

    Good evening.
    I really see potential in this block — I make Threads of Love presentation quilts and this heart block would make a wonderful tiny quilt. Creams, white, and pastels… Kay

  132. Cecilia says:

    How about nice springtime colors? I’m sitting in the middle of an epic snowstorm and could use some spring cheer!

  134. Gail March says:

    I just finished a baby quilt using paper-pieced hearts! I used 5 shades of fuchsia for the hearts on a cream background. Cute little girl quilt.

  138. Debbie St.Germain says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:34 pm

    I love your blue and yellow version, those colors look beautiful together.
    I do a lot of primitive things in my home, so i might go with red and black for a bold look.

    Debbie

  139. craftygramma says:
    November 21, 2014 at 8:35 pm

    I would use reds and pinks: burgundy to baby pink, maybe a little yellow or orange to spice it up! So cute. Thanks!

  140. Rachell Reilly says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:12 pm

    November 21, 2014 at 9:26 pm

    great block … would make a great October bc runner! or a rwb runner for the 4th of july … but green and grey batiks are my go-to colors and would make a great runner for my entry table.

  143. Elaine M. says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:30 pm

    I’d make it in those pinks…but then again..I love the blue and yellow!?!?!

  144. Mary D says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:39 pm

    An orange and yellow version for me with a touch of fuchsia. How says Valentine day is just for pinks and reds?

  145. Annmarie says:
    November 21, 2014 at 9:42 pm

    I would do one with the pinks (for my mom who is a cancer survivor) and one in two tone browns (a chocolate and a latte) for my husband 🙂

  150. Liz says:
    November 21, 2014 at 10:18 pm

    What an awesome block! Looks great as a runner and love that you gave us the directions. Gosh I’m not sure what fabrics I’d use. I might use some novelty coffee fabric I have and fussy cut it for the hearts. Or maybe use butterflies or strawberry fabrics. Oh not all together, hehe. Guess it would depend on who I made it for.

    Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

    I like the first quilt – there’s just something fun about the pink with all the polka dots.

  156. Debi Schepers says:
    November 22, 2014 at 12:10 am

    I love the block, although I’m not a pink fan. I think I’d do it in blues and greens.

  157. Heather J says:
    November 22, 2014 at 2:30 am

    I think I would use purple and platinum colours. I think those colours would make very striking blocks.

  158. Laura Harvey says:
    November 22, 2014 at 6:35 am

    black and white, such a striking colorway

  159. apple blossom says:

  160. Sandy A in St. Louis says:
    November 22, 2014 at 6:43 am

    I love the pink and gray option. I think I would use it or a red and white combination.

  161. Maureen says:
    November 22, 2014 at 7:41 am

    This is a great block! I love primitive type quilting so I would try it with homespuns. Thanks for a chance at the give-away.

    November 22, 2014 at 8:50 am

    I don’t know what time zone you are in, or when you get up, so I’m taking a chance and entering a comment now.
    If they can rush Christmas, you can certainly rush Valentine’s Day, LOL!

  163. Quilter Kathy says:
    November 22, 2014 at 9:01 am

    So pretty! Love it in any colours! I’d probably sew it in pink, red and white.
