Fellow Quilters,
Just about a year ago, an invitation to participate in Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 3 is what got me into the blogosphere! How time flies! While I don’t have a block in the latest issue,Volume 5 , I know several quilters who do. I want to send a shout-out to Laura Blanchard of Plum Tree Quilts (block #449), Beth Ferrier of Applewood Farm (block #430), Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs (block #470), and Celine Perkins of Perkins Dry Goods (block #491). These talented quilters are part of Northcott’s quilt pattern design team.
I also see some lovely Northcott fabrics used in block #462 by former Quiltmaker graphic designer Theresa Eisinger and block #497 by Quiltmaker graphic designer Denise Stark, and in gallery quilts #2 (Jane Spolar’s Bollywood Bliss is used in Oh, The Places We Go by Nikki Rainey) and #8 (Lakeside Cottage is used in Sample This by Carol Streif).
Now, being a quilter, and working with Northcott’s beautiful fabrics, I couldn’t help but wonder how some of these blocks would look in Northcott’s new Stonehenge Stars & Stripes fabrics. So of course I had to play. Here’s what I came up with:
Celine Perkins’ block as a quilt
Celine-Laura combo
Celine-Theresa combo
Chris Hoover’s block as a quilt
Laura Blanchard’s block as a quilt
Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt
Theresa-Laura combo
I can’t decide which one I like the best, so I need your help. For your chance to win a copy of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Volume 5, post a comment on which one is your favorite by 11:59pm Thursday May 3, and we’ll see what the results are. I will also throw in a couple of Stars & Stripes fabric prize packs for additional chances. Canadian visitors can receive a pack of Oh Canada fabrics instead if they win. Good luck!
Cheers, Patti

Basically all the blocks are lovely… My favorite will be #7 – Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt. I see alot of red in this pattern and #4-Chris Hoover’s block would be my second choice.
Oh gosh! I was reading along and admiring all the quilts and thinking I couldn’t decide which one I liked best and then I read you want us to pick a favorite? hehe. They are all beautiful! Maybe Celine-Theresa or Theresa-Laura, I love all of them!
Thank you for a super giveaway and a chance to win.

My favourite is the quilt made with CelinePerkin’s block. I love the Stonehenge range and the way it ‘plays’ with all sorts of other fabrics.
I like the second quilt that you have shown. Patriotic quilts give off a great feeling. I have a lap quilt done in similar stars and stripes. It is my favorite.
I like the quilt done with blocks by Celine Perkins. The others are too busy for my taste!
I absolutely love Chris Hoover’s quilt. I can’t pin point what it is exactly, but I like it all.

Celine-Theresa is my favorite
My favourite design is that of Chris Hoover – a mix of a traditional block that is turned to give a modern flair.
I liked Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt the best! Some of the others were a little too busy for my eyes.

I like Laura Blanchard’s the best because the central portion matches with the striped border the best of all the designs. The entire pattern is not too “cluttered,”

I like the Celine Theresa combo best, but I do like them all! Thanks for the chance to win!
I like Chris Hoover’s block as a quilt. Makes me think of corn stalks. So I’d put yellows and greens in the quilt. Maybe with a bright blue Midwestern sky. The top one would have to be gray — the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye after all!
I like them all but if I were to make a quilt it would be the Celine-Theresa combo or Chris Hoover’s.
My favoirte is Laura Blanchard’s block as a quilt
Hard choice but I think Celine-Laura combo
I guess I will say the Celine – Laura combo, but Celine -Theresa was a very close second. I love the fabric (helps that my hubby has served in the military for 27 years!) and I have my fingers crossed for a win! Thanks for your sponsorship of this great Blog Tour!!
Chris Hoovers was my favorite. I can see it in all kinds of color combinations.
All are great but Chris Hoover’s is my favorite..

I really like Chris Hoover’s block.
I like the Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt.
They are all beautiful, I can feel the dilemma of choosing just one. I like Chris Hoovers the best, it reminds me of Jack in the bean stock and in this day and age I feel we all need to remember that magical feeling we had in childhood. Good Luck
They are all beautiful, but I like Chris Hoover’s the best. The simple looking pattern lets my eye focus on the fabric better.
I really like the Celine-Teresa combo. I would enjoy making that one!!! Loved seeing different ways to use the fabric line.
You made some great combos with the blocks. My favorite, to pick just one, is Celine-Theresa. It works really well to show off both designs and your fabric. Which is great, too.
I like the Theresa-Laura combo the best! They all look good though! 🙂
Thanks for a chance to win! I’d love some Oh Canada fabric! 🙂
I like the Theresa-Laura combo.
I am leaning toward Chris Hoover’s block too. Fun ideas.
I like Chris Hoover’s quilt.
The Chris Hoover block quilt has my vote. It looks like something growing in our great American Heartland!
I like the Celine-Thersa combination best.
Can’t wait tosee the new magazine.
I prefer Chris Hoover’s linear block. It is refreshing & invigorating to look at. Also, it is not ” busy” like the other options.
They are all nice, but I liked Chris Hoover’s the best.
The block by Chris Hoover is stunning. especially with her border. love it! Thank you!

They’re all beautiful, but I vote for the Celine-Laura combo.
Love Celine-Theresa combo
I love Laura’s Block as a quilt the best. Something about it just jumps out and grabs you!
I like the Celine Perkins block
I like the quilts made with Celiene or Teresa’s blocks only. Many of the rest are too busy for me. Great fabrics. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
I love Chris Hoover’s block design. But best of all is your patriotic fabrics. I would love to make some blocks from the Quiltmaker’s 100 blocks out of it. This is where I say ” Pick me, Please PICK ME”. Thank you for having a giveaway, it makes for a fun time!
I LOVE Chris Hoover’s block. It would be really fun to make whimsical leaves, or a polka dotted leaf quilt with it. Can’t tell the size, but it might even take scraps. Very fun!
I like Chris Howard’s design. Hugs Jofrid
Oh, this is so hard!! Chris Hoover caught my eye first! .That one is my favorite!!!! They are all so beautiful. Thank you!

They are all wonderful but since I have to choose I will say Celine-Laura combo. Awesome. O Canada!
My favorite is the Celene-Theresa combo. The Red White and Blue strike close to home as my oldest daughter is in Kabul Afghanistan and the patriotic colors are so close to my heart.
Too hard a question! I like the intricate patterns of Celine Theresa combo & the modern lines of Chris Hoover. All of them are winners.
I’m a Celine-Theresa fan, the block design and placement almost have a Celtic feel to them.. love it!
The Celine-Theresa combo is my favorite. What gorgeous fabrics.
The 6th is my favorite (2nd to the last in case I miss counted)….grin.

Ok I like the last one!! No technical reason, I just like it 🙂 Doing a scrappy QOV where my group is trading scraps so we can really make it scrappy…so if I win that is what I will do with the scraps 🙂
Thanks,
Vickie
The quilts are all lovely, but my favorite is Cindy Hoover’s block.

I like the one from Perkins Dry Goods. She always has the most beautiful blocks.
I really like the Celine-Theresa combo the best ,but they are all pretty nice>

They are all very beautiful, but I like the Celine- Laura combo.
I would have to say that my favorite is the Celine-Theresa combo.
I like the Celine block very much.

Chris-Hoover! Thanks for sharing…Judith, Texas
Wow = way too hard to make a choice. They are all lovely but Celine-laura is my fav!!!!
Celine Perkins’ block as a quilt I like this one the best!
My vote is for Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt. Hard to pick, though.
I’m torn between Chris Hoover’s and the Celine -Theresa Combo. I like them both for very different reasons so I don’t think I’m going to be any help with your decision.
They are all beautiful but i think I like Theresa Eisinger’s block as a quilt the most.
I think I like Celine-Laura combo the best, but that’s like trying to pick a favorite child. Thanks for the chance to win.

I really love the Celine-Theresa combo. It is such a nice layout. Would so love to win this one for my QOV quilts. Thank you for the chance!

I love, love, love Chris Hoovers block. It reminds me of climbing flowers. I can see it done in varied colors w/ green for the parts that look like stems!
I really like Theresa-Laura Combo, would be fun to make!
I like the Celine-Theresa combo best.
Wow! What a hard choice….but I think I like the Therese/Laura combo best!
I like the Chris Hoover block best.
I like Chris Hoover’s Block and also the quilt that was made using it.
I like the Celine-Theresa combo. Beautiful fabrics.
I like the quilt with Laura Blanchard’s block the best.
This is a hard decision. I think I like the Chris Hoover best, because it is different. But I like some of the “combos” a lot too.
While all are beautiful, I think that Laura’s rendition has a degree of sophistication that makes you study the pattern and layout in order to fully understand its intricate design. However, as much as I liked that combo, there is something about Chris Hoover’s design that I remembered when I left the page. It too has a sophisticated look that comes through with its simple design. So in the end, I found while I loved them both, I like Chris Hoover’s design the best…..of course Laura’s design……This question has no simple answer for me.
Celine-Theresa’s combination is my choice, although I would love making any of them with Northcott fabrics. I love the feel of Northcott fabrics! Thank you.
Celine-Theresa’s quilt.
I like the Theresa-Laura Combo best, but they are all great!
I like Celine-Laura combo quilt the best

acarp(at)swbell(dot)net
You couldn’t go wrong with any of them, but my favorite is the Celine-Theresa combo. Thanks for showing many neat options.
I like the block all on its own.
All of the quilts are beautiful done up in red/white/blues. If I have to pick one, it would be Celina-Theresa combo. Thanks for the chance to win.
They are so nice, hard to choose, but I think Laura Blanchards is my favorite. I have been looking at irish chains and I like the way the blocks look in that one.
I really like the Celine-Theresa combo the best, but they are all beautiful!
I like Chris Hoover’s quilt. Thanks!
My favorite is Theresa Eisinger’s quilt. They’re all beautiful.
Wow–they’re all great but Celine-Laura and Theresa-Laura are my favorites. They have more interest with the secondary blocks.
I like Chris Hoover’s blocks made as a quilt the best. It has a modern vib that really appeals to me.
Celine-Laura combo is my fave! awolk at rogers dot com
This is a really hard question. I like all the layouts and combos, and imagine seeing quite a few as beautiful large quilts. Twisting my arm, I’ll say Celine-Laura combo to start, but again, really like ALL the layouts. How great are these blocks!!!!
All are spectacular, but Chris Hoovers quilt is the one I would like to do!
Oh gosh, I have to pick just one. Anything with red, white, and blue is my favorite.
I love Chris Hoover’s wonderful graphic design
Celine-Theresa. I see some wonderful ideas for Quilts of Valor here
Chris Hoover’s block as a quilt is my favorite! simple, but moving.

I like the Theresa – Laura combo. Nice work putting the blocks together into full quilts. And thanks for a chance to win.
Celine Perkins’ block as a quilt is my favorite; but they’re all gorgeous!
LOVE patriotic fabrics! These are so pretty! I like the Celine-Theresa combo the best- wonderful!! I
Live in Utah, USA! I’m working on A patriotic-colored Sylvia’s Bridal Sampler (Jennifer Chiaverini’s) and it’s turning out nicely. Some of these beautiful Northcotts could work great with this quilt!
Thanks so much and I hope I get picked!
Hi Patti, I vote for the Celine-Theresa combo quilt. I enjoy how the elements in both blocks compliment each other, in size, shape and colour.
I like the Celine – Theresa combo the best, but there are several I like.
Oh my, I love them all!!! But the 3rd one in line is my favorite. What a delightful giveaway and i’ve enjoyed all the blog tour.
Amazing what you design, Patti!!!
Hugs, Petunia Pinner 😉
Stonehenge meadow spring, because it reminds me of the textures of the earth and life emerging.
I love your Celine Perkins quilt. can’t wait for the new quiltmaker’s 100 blocks to come out.
My vote is for Celine-Theresa. My favorites have always been two block quilts that meld into one design.
Love Marjorie’s #688 Hearts and Jocelyn’s #697 Trendster’s blocks. The Stonehenge fabrics are perfect for so many blocks. Love them! Can’t wait for the magazine. Hope I am lucky!!
