Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks

Here’s the front of the issue. Look for the purple top! If you can’t find it at your local quilt shop or book store, you can order it from Quiltmaker.

And, here’s my block:

Isn’t it pretty? The best news is that it isn’t blurry in the magazine!  🙂

And if you like more muted colors, you might like this version:

If you wanted to make a quilt using this block, you could make this one, which uses the Twinkle, Twinkle block and an alternate block.

  1. Absolutely love the block Judy! It could lend itself to scrappy too!

  2. Love, love, love this block, Judy! Gotta get out and find a copy!

    Also love these issues. I always get them

  3. Since it is a star, it would be beautiful as a QOV in red, blue and cream. Love the Quiltmaker 100 Blocks magazines.

  4. I think your block would look great in blues! Love it, and love seeing some options for making it into a quilt!

  5. Another cute block. I have a ton of 1930’s reprints that I think would make a neat version. All of the blocks that I have seen are really cool.

  6. Congrats on being included in this collection of blocks, Judy! I like the one with the black background. I would like to try it in my go to color combo of yellow, orange and maroon.

  7. What a darling block! I like it in all the colorways.
    Congratulations on being included in this years quilt block collection!!

  8. I love those books….have all the rest. my favorite colors are brights…..in your face brights. the get your attention kind of colors….lime green, bright yellow, neon orange. hahahaha

  9. Congratulations for once again having a block included in THE 100, I’m partial to teal, but your table runner colors are just about perfect for me. Very sharp, no fru-fru, Block really shows it’s lines. That would be my choice.

  11. I love the block! And like some others, I would love to see it in bright colors – although actually I would enjoy exploring various possible combinations. I can envision it in Batiks, or Civil War repros, or purely scrappy – although this time I think it would be absolutely adorable in 30s repros!

  12. I really like the muted pastels. I would make it in pinks to burgundy. Love it!

  13. What do you mean you don’t do “scrappy”? Muted block is a form of scrappy and it is very attractive! So, since I am a “scrap-aholic” mine would be from my scrap drawers!

  16. I would like to see it in warm tones of yellow, red and orange with white.

  17. LOVE your block and the samples you’ve shown. The black and brights is great – I can see using some of my batiks that I just “pet” for this, the muted is very nice too (subtle). I also think it would be great in reds/whites/blues – maybe a Quilt of Valor?!?!? Great job, Judy!

  19. I would love to see this quilt made in pastel batiks. I’ve not worked in batiks before and would love to use the stash I’ve been saving.

  20. Great block! I love the brighter version. I think it would be fabulous in oranges, blues, and yellows. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  21. Love the block! I can see this done up in batiks, which I love. Thanks for the pattern.

  23. This block is so clean and crisp, beautiful. I would like to see it in blues, grays and creams. Thank you for the chance to win.

  24. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I think I’d do jewel tones or batiks with black background or maybe a rich blue with a bit of metallic design in it.

  25. Your block is beautiful! This block will look good in any color but I would probably do red, white and blue. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of this magazine. I have bought every issue so far.

  26. I love the light effect. Would like to see a dark blue night sky, with the twinkling stars made out of batiks.

  27. Iam thinking yellows and greys. Glad you in in this issue

  28. I would use it in a Christmas table runner: red, taupe and ecru. Thanks for sharing your block.

  30. When I see star blocks, I always think of red, white and blue combinations.

  31. Love the bright colors with the black background. Also think this would be fabulous in beautiful batiks.

  32. I love this block. I would like to see it in some sparkly vibrant prints to see what patterns emerge. Also I think this block would look good in a neutral palette such as taupes, blacks, tans, almonds with an amazing animal print.

  34. You block is amazing – and loved seeing the turkey hatch, congratulations mama.

  37. I love to work with jewel tones and think your block would be lovely in jewel tone batik.

  45. I’m totally taken with the black/brights. Not sure what other colors I’d like to see it in. Maybe Gray/Turquoise/Yellow?

  46. Ooohh i see this block in 2 colorways. A lovely patriotic red, blue, and cream for a prim patriotic bit of yumminess and a rust/black/taupe/goldenrod to match my prim pineapple and pear decor! Love it!!

  47. I really liked the muted tones. I was so surprised to find that out about myself! But, the best thing about visiting here on the 100 Blocks Blog Tour is discovering your blog. It looks like I will be spending a lot of time here.

  67. Love your block and I would love to WIN this magazine issue. Your colors really POP on the black background. Would like to see what a Red, White & Blue would look like on the black background, as I think it would make the colors stand out like they did in your first block. Bought your Borders book and can’t wait to try it. I see the border you used in this quilt is also in your book ~ just love it!

  68. First of all, I love your block! I’m a sucker for star blocks.
    And I think your block would look great in 30s prints.

  79. I think the red white blue option in scappy would be wonderful

  81. I think I would use gray, navy and yellow! It is a great block.

  83. I think it would be lovely in Mid Century Modern solid colors (pink, aqua, orange, teal, etc) and made in various sizes scattered across the quilt. I think your table runner example is a great color combo. This block would work in many styles. Thanks for the opportunity! notwendy gmail

  84. I;m thinking purples & blacks.. I’ve seen a few quilts and blocks that really draw my eye with those colors

  85. I love your block. It shines. Light blue, tan and pink would be nice.

  86. Love the bright colors though I would probably make it in scrappy bright colors. Love the magazine and your blog.

  87. I would make it in orange and yellow for my daughter’s wedding.

  88. The first quilt is very stunning. I like it a lot, the pink and purple are wnderful. I wonder how it would look as a Christmas Quilt with Reds, Greens and Golds or just Red, Green and Black. Red, Green Batik of course.

  89. I think it would be a great block for a boy’s quilt in blues, blacks and grays.

  91. Very pretty block. It sparkles! I would like to see it made in brights.

  93. I really like your star block. Congratulations on being chosen for the magazine. I’d like to see this made up in bright batiks w/ a black background. Thanks for sharing!

  94. With the name Twinkle Twinkle, I am thinking navy, silver or white and another shade of blue would be pretty. Remind me of a early evening sky, or the sky right before dawn.

  95. WOW it really does twinkle! I actually made one similar to that, and have a BUNCH of the flying geese left over. I think I might like to try that one!

  96. Batiks. Bright, bold Batiks would be gorgeous. Would love to add #9 to my collection.

  97. What a wonderful block, full of possibilities! I love bright, clear colors and would like to see this in aqua and lime on a navy background.

  98. Great block! On this sunny morning here in the Northwest, I am feeling yellow, orange, & red on black for your block. Thanks so much for the chance to win.

  99. Would love to see what it looked like with pastels for a fresh spring look.

  100. congrats, such a pretty block. Hmmm I would use the black like you have and leave the yellow in the large square and put the points in 4 different shades of blues and bind it in the same yellow. Thanks for a chance.

  102. I am in a “brights” phase now. Your block would look lovely in scrappy brights.

  103. Well, personally, I’d make it in Civil War reds, but my son and his girlfriend (soon to be fiance) love blues and browns…so I’d probably use those colors – which I fortunately like as well. The block is lovely and I love the top with the alternate block!

    • Sorry fumble fingers strikes again. What I meant to say was- once again another great block! Would look wonderful in thirties prints scrappy.

  105. I really like it in the muted colours, so I guess that’s the colours I would make it in. And after reading all the colour choices in the comments, I’d make another in batiks. It’s a really great block!

  110. A version made up in red, white and blue would feature the stars nicely and the Fourth of July is around the corner!

  113. Very cute block, and I like mixing it with the other block you have shown. I would do it with bright rainbow colors, mixed wth the black and possible white instead of cream.

  114. I’d like the block in deep red, blues and cream. Love the alternate block setting.

  116. I love star blocks! I’m blue, aqua and cream mood lately-I’d start with those colors!

  117. I wonder what it would look like in the brights,, aqua, red, white and green….summer colors.

  264. As always a great block! Another one for the someday file!

  265. What a great block! I would make mine pink and lavender and green 🙂

  266. Love this block Judy! I’m seeing yellow, gold, orange, red & hot pink stars on a dark blue background. 🙂

  267. Love the block with the black background and the quilt layout! Already have your borders book, yay! Where would I find the alternate block? This one is definitely in the queue!

  269. I think it would sparkle with jewel tones and a black back ground.. I want to make one some day have been saving jewel tone fabric for some time. This would be a good design.

  270. Love your block, Judy. It looks good in both colorways you show. The muddy, muted colors are my choice right now. Thank you.

  271. I like your block with the black; but also think it would be great to use a stark white and a yellow with 30’s prints forming the stars.

  272. Your block is amazing and I like your colors. Thanks for sharing

  273. Fun block–I love the muted version–my kind of colors!

  275. I would use “happy colors” for a Twinkle quilt – to go along with little children happily singing the song.

  276. It would be interesting to see it in fall colors — the rich gold, rust, red, orange. I am looking forward to getting this new issue.

  279. I am a batik lover, and I think this would this would look good in bold batiks.

  280. The block is so lovely. I like the table runner and the block as part of a quilt. Brights is the way I like it, something like solids with purple & golden yellow.
    Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

  281. I love this block and the black background quilt. I need some spring quilts, so spring colors would be great.

  282. I like your colors with the dark background. I would use navy or black, with multi-colored scraps.

  284. I think Twinkle would be beautiful as a scrappy Autumn. Use a dark solid for the background, with brighter prints for the star.

  286. That is so easy. I love the block in black with primary colors. This is one of my favorite combinations and this great block showcases these colors very well. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

  289. Love the block in the brights against the black. Batiks would look especially nice! Thanks for the give away!

  290. I wonder what it would look like scrappy? I really like it in the black and brights colourway you have done. Thank you for the chance to win.

  293. I’m in love with the green table runner you made! I think I would want my block to look exactly like that in those colors! So pretty 🙂 Congrats on your block!

  294. I often go for a black and brights combo. I liked someone’s idea of QOV quilt in RWB

  297. This is a fun tour, thank you for putting my name in for the drawing. I would like to see this is patriotic colors.

  298. This might be fun to try in black and whites with a splash of red in there

  299. Very pretty block! I’d love to see it in batiks, like different shades of blues, golds, and browns.

  301. I’m more of a modern girl and so I’d love to make it with modern, vibrant colors. I also like tone on tone things, so that would be a great option for me too!

  303. I like your pastels version best but I would long to try it with pinks, reds and purples.

  306. I think I would try purples, teals, green, and yellows

  307. I’d like to see it in my favourite purples and turquoises

  309. I think I would go for blues and maybe a little yellow as the basic colors.

  311. I like your block. I like all colorways, but I usually use muted colors for myself. Congratulations on being included in the magazine.

  312. Twinkle Twinkle would make an amazing Red Quilt!! I have a ton of various red fat quarters that need a home, and to turn each on into 1/4 of a star would be fantabulous!!

  313. I’d like to see your block done in mostly black and white, with some pops of color. I must get this issue.

  314. I love your block! And that quilt with the black background is awesome. I had really no desire to get this magazine until I saw your blog. Thanks for sharing!

  321. Love this block. Wonder how black and whites with red would work.

  322. That really is a gorgeous block and I love the quilt you created for it. I think that quilt might look fabulous with bright and black blocks on a cheddar background.

  324. I would love to see it in Red, White and Blue colors, alternating the color of each row. and maybe set with a gold color sashing. Thanks for the chance to win.

  325. I love pastels. Of course, Americans love red, white, and blue stars. Blue is my favorite color. I love your block.. Congrats on your publish.

  326. I love the colors you chose for your table runner. I’d love to make one like that!………..d

  328. WOW!! you did it again.I just love the bright colored block.Everyone can tell my quilts as I always have bright colors in most of them.The other colorway was pretty but your brights almost jump off the page.

  329. What a neat block Judy. It would look great done in batiks – earth tone /fall colors.

  330. What a pretty block Judy. I’m not taking the easy way out by saying this, but I absolutely love the color choices you have used in the first block shown and would totally use those colors, but maybe in brighter tones. I normally would have said purple and lime green since that’s my latest like and maybe some blue and since you have pretty much used what I would have said, I’d use the colors you have shown.

  332. I really like this block! I would do it in brights with dark blue for myself, or in black, dark purples and reds for my oldest granddaughter.

  333. I like the look in your tablerunner because it looks like the star points are extending out into sashing.

  334. Oh my gosh, the block is screaming “jewel tone batiks” at me!

  336. What a darling block! I can’t decide which one I like better – the black background is very nice but I usually do more muted colors. Maybe it’s time to branch out! 🙂

  337. I love batik fabrics and currently my favorite colors are a combination of blue/green. I love your blog.

  344. I love all of your combinations! I would like to try purple, orange and green with a little black….

  345. I love bright colors and the black. I’d like to make it in pinks and gray too. Well, maybe I really want it in blues and greens. I think I could think of lots of different variations. Love the block.

  347. Oh, I can see it lots of ways! First in bright batiks with a dark blue batik background. Or with pastel batiks with a spring green background. Love the block not too hard to piece. Thanks. 🙂
