I am so excited to have a block called Boxed Pinwheel in Volume 16 of the 100 Blocks magazine by Quiltmaker! This is my seventh block to appear in the 100 Blocks magazines. You can see my previous 100 Blocks:
Boxed Pinwheel is a great confident beginner level paper-pieced block. The 12" (finished) block was designed the block using Electric Quilt 7 (EQ7) and I really like how it looks like the pinwheel is floating in front of the frame.
I had some fun playing around with some quilt top designs using Boxed Pinwheel
....in a classic design..
... on point...
... with a dark background and some blocks with just a frame...
...a different colorway...
...how about some holiday versions? Halloween...
...Christmas...
...4th of July or a Quilts of Valor quilt...
I hope that you have enjoyed all of these renderings of Boxed Pinwheel being used in different quilt tops to see how versatile the block is!
Now on to the Giveaways (yes plural!):
Prize 1: Quiltmaker is sponsoring the giveaway of a copy of 100 Blocks Magazine Vol. 16. This magazine drawing is open to everyone-international included. The magazine will be shipped directly from Quiltmaker.

This is a fabulous design, Cheryl! The Halloween / candy corn variation is super fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the QOV quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for holding the giveaway. First question-What inspires me to quilt?
ReplyDeleteThe primary answer is a great pattern. Secondary answers are a family member "desperately(I hate to say whinning),wanting a quilt or a new baby, graduation,etc. (robinsbusiness@hotmail.com)
Second question: How did we sign to follow your blog? I am not sure,it was either on bloglovin or on your website there is a box with pictures of your followers/friends. Under that is a box marked "follow" and I click on that. I sign up using either way. I'm sorry I do not remember the exact method. Hope that does not luck out my ballot. (robinsbusiness@hotmail.com)

ReplyDeleteHow very lovely, good name too, so descriptive. What inspires me to quilt is other quilters, it doesn’t matter their skill level, I watch good quilters become great quilters and how beginners become proficient. I see quilters who may never achieve a high standard keep trying, that can take courage, they never give up. There are so many quilters all unique, all different, and all united in the love of quilting. I honour each and every one.

ReplyDeleteThe Boxed Pinwheel is gorgeous and I absolutely love seeing the different colorway ideas. The ways a simple quilt can be changed just by switching up the colors is fascinating to me. As for how I follow your blog. Hmmm. I'm new to this so I haven't really figured it out yet. Sometimes I see something on FB, other times I get an email. Occasionally, I just check my bookmarks and remember that I should check these blogs. I suppose I should look into Bloglovin'. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great design. Would be a fun block to play with colors
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the classic layout. I'm always amazed by how changing the layout or colors of the blocks changes the whole look of the quilt!

ReplyDeleteCheryl, your block is very striking, especially in the first color combination. I think that I will enjoy making your block...perhaps for my dear daughter-in-law for Christmas. Quilting is such a fun pleasure and keeps me happy. Such colors and different combinations make it something different each day. With EQ8 it is even more enjoyable to design a quilt. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI quilt almost every day, and I am easily inspired by my surroundings.

ReplyDeleteI get this via email, but think I may also be a no-reply blogger & have tried to get in touch about the Magnolia Mystery quilt to no avail. I've completed 14 blocks as of last night & made my first ever quilt in 1977. I also design with my Quilt Wizard program & graph paper, love playing with fabric & colour and couldn't be without crafting in my life. Thank you and take care.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the great ideas. did you try a setting for the pinwheels where there was no sashing or alternate blocks? Just wondered if there was a secondary pattern or too much clutter? My inspiration for quilting is making charity items for my various guilds. I've made only a small handful for quilts for family and friends but there's always a need in the community. kaylace@bellsouth.net
