I’m so excited today to share a block I have in the new issue of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks!
Today is my stop on the blog tour and I have a copy of the magazine to give away too.
My block is called Square Crossing and can be found on page 66.
Quiltmaker also put together a sample idea for a quilt using the block:
I love all things scrappy, so that’s where my quilt design would head. With polka dots of course.
The block would also be pretty by itself as a pillow front or pieced in to a bag or tote.
There are lots of beautiful blocks in this issue. I know you’ll like it!
If you’d like a chance to win a copy, just leave a comment and I’ll pick a winner on Monday, May 5th.
Be sure to visit the Quiltmaker blog as well, they have lots of fun things to give away and you’ll get more sneak peeks into the magazine!
xo, Lindsey

Its a great block and a quilt my daughter would like.
I like your block – lots of potential.
love the block,one that I think anyone could make with ease and enjoy. but I think it’s a little too scrappy in the quilt–the block designs get lost in using so many differènt, bright prints. I would like to try it with prints in the centers of the squares and solids for the squares.
