Oh Happy Day! It is time again for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Hop. And I am pleased to announce that not only do I have a block in this issue but my block is even on the cover!
Today is my day on the Blog Hop along with many other great designers. The hop has been going on all week so if you haven't checked out all the other designs, grab a cuppa and get ready to be inspired!
My Runway block is #1318 and you can see it on top there on the left margin.
My block is foundation pieced - so you do need to find the pattern pieces in the center part of the issue. You need two copies of each component.
I made my block from two colorways - aqua and orange. Yum! I used Karen Lewis' Blueberry Park for the prints and Kona Navy and Ash for the solids.
And here it is all sewn up!
Are you curious how some blocks look together? I made up four blocks and put them up on my design wall for you. Here I laid out the blocks to create aqua and orange focus squares.
But you can also lay the blocks out so the colors of the geese are grouped together.
I love how the geese come together in the intersections.
I decided to sew up a small quilt with the aqua all in the center and finish it off with some fun pieced borders using up some of the leftover scraps.
I think this will make a fun mini for my sewing room wall!

I love this block! Flying geese and different ways to set the blocks together make for a beautiful quilt! Thank you for designing and participating in the blog tour.
Congratulations on being on the front cover! After seeing your block and all the layout options, I can definitely see why you made the front cover. This is a great block and it would take me hours to finally come to a layout choice. LOL. Thank you for sharing and for giving us the opportunity to win a copy of this amazing book.
I wasn't too keen at first with your colour choice, but seeing the whole thing finished with the scrappy border made me change my mind - now I love it hahaa
Wow, I haven't tried paper piecing, but I sure want to try now, and aqua and orange I never knew how stunning that would look.
That is why I love all of you wonderful designers as you inspire me.

What a fun block and foundation pieced at that, my favorite kind. I love the colorful fabrics that you chose for this block. It almost makes it spring like in these cold days of winter. Thank you for sharing your talents and your block.
Very cool block! I love how it looks when put together!
I love your block and the colors are a "wow!" Lots of possibilities with rotation.

Oh, I love paper-pieced flying geese! This is so cute.
Paper piecing sometimes gives me fits, LOL, but at least the pieces in your block are not teeny tiny.
I love the way it looks.

Pretty colors for an interesting block.
I am becoming a big fan of paper piecing so I love your block!
Such a fun block! I love the variety that possible here, heaps of potential!
The colors you chose for your block are absolutely beautiful. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
on your mini quilt, i like how the black triangles only come together in the center, but the outer ones stay separate. I think if I used this block, i might like to sash around every four to get the effect you have in the mini quilt to repeat on a larger quilt.
I liked your block right away. Then I saw how different it would look in the various settings. I love a versatile block.
congratulations. what a lovely block. I love the secondary pattern it makes.

I'd been looking for a pattern for a small quilt, and this is ideal .... just gorgeous!

Love the block design and the colors you chose work beautifully!
I love the way the block looks when four are set together.
That looks like a great block, Cyndy, and I love the layout you chose for the mini you're making! It's also fun to see the different looks you can get by turning the block different ways. If I don't win an issue, I'm going to have to go find that magazine for myself. Lol!
congrats on getting in the 100 blocks!
I also like this block, would love to win the magazine.
this block has lots of possibilities... but it also looks like I that could easily mis-piece if I'm not paying attention :)
kaylace@bellsouth.net
Love the colors you chose. This block is very effective.
Thanks for sharing the different results achieved by laying out the block in different ways. And to think you can have your own 100 block gallery by making a mini of each block you have published. Kathy in snowy Colo
Love your block! Such pretty colors to. I can see me making a quilt using your block. Thanks for a chance to win.
I like how a block can look great on its own, but then when put into a larger setting makes a fun design too. I like the fact that you have foundation pieced the geese, they always are a nuisance for me with regular piecing.
anndunn24(at)gmail.com
The secondry pattern is great, would like to play with your block and see what else comes out.thanks Angela
Great block! I like the pattern where the geese meet in the middle.
Great block, and I love your colors. Can't wait to see the mag in person for a gander at all the other blocks!
Love your block. It would have a strong diagonal design in a whole big quilt which would be gorgeous! Thanks for the giveaway!
Would love to have this book!
Loooove the colors!! And your block is Amazing!! Your Mini is Gorgeous!! Your sewing room will love it! :)

This is SO pretty!
I have been following your blog for quite awhile and I am happy you are in my favorite magazine with a block. Glad it made the cover also. Love following your progress. Thanks for the chance to win this magazine.
Beautiful block. I have not foundation piecing yet but after seeing your block I am going to try it.
I love this block, thank you.

I love your mini!
Congratulations on a great block! (and being on the cover, too!)
I like the different looks you get, by changing the placement of the blocks!...
And I like your mini quilt!... Repeating that cluster of four blocks, with it's sashing, treating that all as "one block"... would make an appealing layout! Making a note to do that!
Thank you!
Pat T.
The block is amazing, thanks for the chance in a giveaway.
