Well, I have some exciting news that I can finally share. Β There is a book coming out by C & T Publishing called Β Modern Blocks –Β 99 Quilt Blocks fromΒ your favorite designers. Β And guess what? Β I bet you figured it out… apparently I’m one of those favorite designers. π
I can’t wait to see the book! Β It’s not due out until the fall, but I made all of my blocks for it last fall! Β So I’ve been waiting a long time to share this with you all. Β You may have noticed that I said “ALL of my blocks”. Β I’m so fortunate to have 11(!) blocks in this book. Β You should have seen me hopping around when I got that email. That was a fun day. π
And while I am not allowed to show you the blocks yet, I am able to show you the front cover.
It’s so crisp and fresh and pretty! Β Oh and guess what?! Β TWO of those are my blocks! Β So I can share those with you. Β Teehee! Β For simplicity’s sake, I’ll go ahead and show you my own pictures of those two blocks instead of trying to tell you which of those are mine. Β I’d be interested to see if you could guess though.
My blocks are:
and
They picked two of my favorites! Β Although honestly, I’d probably say that about any of them.
So there was much rejoicing again when I saw the cover of the book. Β I did not expect anything of mine to be on the cover, so it was very fun to see two blocks there!
I know that a lot of other people in blog land have blocks in the book as well! Β Share! Β Share! Β I only know a few of the people, Β and we don’t all add up to 99 blocks yet.
And lest you think everything is going perfectly wonderful over here, you’ll be interested to know that I discovered today that I cut half of the fabric for my quilt along incorrectly and now need to redo all of that…and potentially the whole thing if I can’t find enough of the white fabric I used…darn one-time purchase. So I may be truly starting along with you all! Β But it’s better to learn the lessons first and not later. Don’t worry. Β I’ll get it all worked out before I share the pattern with you. Β Doh!
When I saw the cover, your block out of the solids popped right out at me as the totally uber-cool one! I love it!
