We had our first blog “door” prize in November and it’s high time for another one! This is a block from the sampler quilt in our book, The New Applique Sampler.
Becky appliqued this block (by hand, herself) for a class and it never made it into a quilt. The background is 12 1/2″ x 19 1/2″ and it has not been trimmed.
To enter to win this lovely door prize, leave a comment on this post. Be sure to leave your name!
On Friday (or Saturday, depending on how the week goes) we’ll announce a RANDOM winner of our prize! If you post anonymously we may not be able to email you to let you know you won, so be sure to check back.
And don’t forget that the deadline
(March 1) for the Free Block Contest is fast approaching. We’ve already received some photos of completed projects and we’re loving them!

I love that the bright colors really pop against what looks to me like a snowy background!

Your trademark bright colors and simple lines. But I espec like the background fabrics. With winter still upon us, it looks like snow is falling and the winter winds blowing but these brave blooms won’t be done in.

That is my all time favorite applique project. My daughter and I bought the book, the DVD and the fabrics. Then we went about learning to applique your way! We haven’t gotten too far yet but we’re sold on your method AND the quilt. We plan to do the whole sampler and wouldn’t I be the Queen Bee to be able to show off that block with it?? YES!!
