100 Blocks!
HI Everyone! Sorry, I'm a little late this morning for the blog tour. I've been sewing like crazy getting ready for quilt market!
When I did my block I sent 2 in, the one you see in the magazine and the one here. (Sorry for the fuzzy picture!). Both turned out nice but I think the cream background one that they chose was a bit better. It was fun designing a small quilt to go with the block as well. I've always wanted to do a shamrock block and with a last name like mine, well, this was a great time to do it! I'm going to make a bed size quilt when time allows!
I've enjoyed seeing all the blocks since the first magazine came out and what an honor to be in it again!
Good luck to all that enter!

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing this magazine. Congratulations on being in the magazine. I really like your clover block.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves all things Irish, so I may have to make her a table runner using your shamrock blocks!
ReplyDeleteNot to many patterns out there for shamrocks. For years I've been wanting to do something with one. Your design looks like a winner to me. Sandi
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making the book!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a fitting block for you to submit! Congratulations for your block being selected for QM 100 Blocks v5.

ReplyDeleteYour block looks like it would be fun to make.
ReplyDeleteWhat five minutes do you have to make a quilt for you? A friend from the WWQP. Seriously, the shamrock looks nice and should make a nice quilt. Congratulations on having another block included.

I've been wanting to do a shamrock table topper.
ReplyDeleteI really do love the block on the black background so I'll have to see the one in the magazine. Either way though, you did a great job. It's nice to see a 'real' Irish Shamrock too. So many think they shoud have 4 leaves and they don't.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on having your block in one of the best magazines ever! Your shamrock is probably the best quilted shamrock I've seen, especially with the two-toned leaves! I'm not Irish, but I could see using this block in something fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making the magazine! Everyone needs something Irish to put up for St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy for you! It must have been the luck of the Irish ;^)
ReplyDeleteHow cute-shamrock-Irish....meant to be!! Congratulations on being published! Can't wait to get my hands on volume 5!
ReplyDeleteCute block. Congrats on making the cut.
ReplyDeleteGreat block! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win! Love your block ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I think Cream would be the better background. Love your block and congrats on being in this issue.
ReplyDeleteVery cute block. Yes I would like the cream background too. Thanks for participating in the 100 Blocks blog hop.
ReplyDeleteGrats on getting your block published.
ReplyDeleteMy maiden name is Ireland, so id LOVE a shamrock quilt! Thanks for creating that block for us!
ReplyDeleteLove your shamrock block! Would love to use it! Thanks for the giveaway chance.
ReplyDeleteWith a name like that, why wouldn't you do Celtic designs! So cute! I've always loved Celtic designs, and then I married into an Irish family. My husband's family immigrated from Ireland a few generations back, and he's from New York City. I've done baby quilts and quilted Celtic designs in my babies' quilts. My new idea is to do a Double Irish Chain in green and gold, the family colors, and maybe design a cross-stitch of the family crest, and put that in the middle, medallion-style.
Rachell, check out the gallery section of my web site; www.irishchain.com There is a celtic quilt posted. Sorry-there is no pattern for this one!
DeleteCute clover!
ReplyDeleteLove the shamrock - the look of curves without sewing them - thank you. And thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeletecongrats on being in the book ...it's one I look forward to!
ReplyDeleteGo Irish!
ReplyDeleteGreat block - can't wait to see you use it in a big project!!!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Shamrock block before...very nice:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun block! A couple would make a neat wall hanging for St. Patrick's day. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats... you did your name proud! Since St Pat is also the patron saint of engineers I've got to make a quilt w/ this block & irish chains etc. maybe it may get done for the 30 years since I graduated from NMIMT...40th would probably be a more realistic goal.
ReplyDeleteThe light and dark fabrics give the shamrock wonderful dimension.
ReplyDeleteI like the shamrock block!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet block! Is this your signature block? Congrats on getting your block in the magazine. tkmattson@hotmail.com

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your Shamrock being included! Have a great market.
ReplyDeleteShamrocks are cool and are supposed to be good luck so a quilt of them should be a wonderful thing.
ReplyDeleteYou must be Irish at heart! Most of us are - we love the shamrock and always look for the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteI like your Shamrock block light or dark actually I think I like the dark one very much. Have fun at market wish I was there. I am a new follower. I really want to win but don't we all.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I love your shamrock design! I've just recently been thinking of making a shamrock wall hanging because I've always enjoyed looking for 4-leaf clovers and amaze myself how often I find them!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your quilts in the magazines. I'm eager to see your shamrock pattern in the magazine. The black background is so dramatic, I like it. I don't applique and have always wanted to make a nice shamrock quilt. My father was Irish and shamrocks mean a lot to me. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Very cool block.
