Welcome back!

100-blocks-day-1-vol-16-cover-200pxCan you believe it? We are half way through the Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks blog tour for volume 16. We are really pleased you chose to join us on our road rally. We’ve toured 20 blocks this week so far and have another 9 blocks to share with you today. Our designers are waiting for you to make a block stop at their place to learn more about the inspiration of their design, pick up a few tips and techniques or look at ideas they have for a quilt using their block.

If you missed the first two days of the tour you can still visit the blocks from Day 1 of the tour and see the blocks showcased on Day 2. The latest issue of 100 Blocks is on the newsstand and you can download a copy from The Quilting Company by clicking here. Or order a print version here.

Tours are scheduled every day this week, so set your alarm to join us!
