I love your modern take on the wedding ring. I think my favorite block is the log cabin because it's so versatile and can be traditional or modern.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is the log cabin block. I love both the traditional and modern versions of this block.

My most favourite block is the New York Beauty block- there is so much variation with it. This book looks great- can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteMy fav block is P mountain.
ReplyDeleteI honestly do not have a favorite block. Mostly because I'm still new to quilting and am still discovering fun ones everyday :)
ReplyDeleteI have always loved log cabin blocks! The book looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm still new to quilting but I seem to be attracted to star blocks.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick a favorite, but I do love all the possibilities with a log cabin block. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI favor the churn dash block. I tend to do traditional, but would love to try this block with a modern twist. Michele's book is just what I need for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the log cabin block.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun with the anvil blocks and have made a bunch but I also like the pineapple block quite a lot.
ReplyDeleteVery labor intensive but worth it!
Well, I've been quilting forever and don't have a favorite, but I sure do like quilts with curves. And I'd love to win that book, sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI love churn dash
ReplyDeleteI love the very simple and classic half square triangle...because you can create hundreds (maybe thousands) of other patterns with it..
ReplyDeleteCard trick and dronkards path are two of my favorites
ReplyDeleteI have always loved anything with flying geese...
ReplyDeleteI have always love the churn dash and the carpenter's wheel blocks...so versatile!
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration to me with your modern twists on tradition. Keep up the gorgeous work!
I would like to say something different than the other comments, but log cabin has always been my top favorite block, followed by the lowly 9-patch with all its variations - I like to be able to "interpret" these blocks! Thanks for the chance to win.

My fave block right now is one I designed - it's kind of like cross hatching, but more! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've been loving making flying geese lately ~ the old way. I've got this precious fabric that I'm finally making a quilt with. Cutting it with care!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway ~ looks like a great book!
ELSA! YOU WON the COPY of Michele's Book!! Please send me your address. CONGRATS!
DeleteI love the churn dash block!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this is actually classified as a block, but I love the Lone Star. Thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease click on the delaineelliott above for my email link.
My favorite block is the simple churn dash. Love how it looks straight set or on point. Seems simple, it is, but its a timeless block. Looks like you are having a blast in Houston. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteLog cabin blocks are my favorite. So many ways to venture out with them, and yet they still always refer back to the traditional.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the log cabin - so many different variations. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment it's Pickle Dish!!
ReplyDeleteive had a long love affair with the log cabin!!
ReplyDeleteChoosing just one block as a favorite is soooo hard. I do tend to use drunkard's path and log cabin more than other traditional blocks. They are so versatile! Thanks for offering this give away!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't have just one. I like the log cabin (wacky). And I love the modern wedding ring quilts you have been making.
ReplyDeleteI love a churn dash! Looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteI love anything with stars and card trick always catches my eye. I'm in love with the modern looking quilt and so I love to just start sewing some squares together and see where it leads me, whether I start cutting those then apart or leaving them. Love your Blog, thank you for the great giveaway
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt block has always been the Double Wedding Ring. Of course, I never knew quite how awesome it could be until I started stalking you last year. Go DWR!!!!! (Also: I really want this book.)
ReplyDeletei love the log cabin it is very versatile but i also like stars thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteOf course the double wedding ring is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteIt is like picking your favorite child, depends on the day!
ReplyDeleteI love a 9 patch..... and a wonky log cabin. Still waiting to try some of the others! Anything with a star always catches my eye as well :)
ReplyDeleteDo I have to pick just one? Bear paw, ohio star or anything with flying geese.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Hi Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that Churn Dash is my all-time favourite.
Thanks for the giveaway,
Jacqueline in Pitt Meadows
I really love anything with stars, but the DWR is a goal, and so many more! I love what you've been showing from Market. Glad you're having fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt, Victoria! Those colors are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is the Churn Dash block. It was the first one that I learned when I took my first quilting class, and it has always been close to my heart. And, I would have to say it may be tied with Log Cabin, because, after all, who doesn't love Log Cabin blocks? Grace
My favorite is the + and X block!
ReplyDeleteAnything with flying geese! But I really want to try a DWR one day. See you in Houston.
ReplyDeleteThe friendship star block! Have made it over and over and over again!!
ReplyDeleteHi, yes i do+it's Kim Diehl's "Scrap Basket Surprises"!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great Giveaway!

Currently Churn dash, but that could change at any time!
ReplyDeleteVery fun! Hmm.. my favorite quilt block? Probably the Pickle Dish right now.:)
ReplyDeleteOhio Star has lots of versatility.
ReplyDeleteI do not have a favorite right now. I have a DWR on my to do list though.

Hmmm... my favorite quilt block. I think it definitely changes frequently. My gut is telling me the log cabin because of how much you can do with it. But I also have a soft spot for the spool block ... and the churn dash ... and shoofly ... and constellation ...
ReplyDeleteThe Fan block is my new favorite, but I still love a Bow Tie.
ReplyDeleteI love log cabin and bear paw blocks. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am favoring the modern version of Drunkard's Path - like Angela Pingel's version.
ReplyDeleteProbably churn dash or log cabin. I love traditional quilts. 😊
ReplyDeleteI think Log Cabin is a wonderful block because it is so versatile. This looks like an inspiring book, thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI love the log cabin block, probably because it was the very first block I made when I started quilting - 1" strips!!! We were to learn accuracy also - UGH!! And I still love it, as there are so many possibilities with making them look like half square triangles.
ReplyDeleteI really like new York beauties. This book looks great, very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteDifficult to choose just one but at the moment it would have to be Flying Geese, I love using them in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Dresden Plate - so many ways to use it!
ReplyDeleteI love the Log Cabin block. Your double wedding ring quilt looks amazing. Curves are hard for me -- yours look perfect! Congrats on the book.
ReplyDeleteI love soo many, bUT right now working on a modern churn dash which I love. Cant wait to see this book, okay I'm off to Houston too!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this book...right up my alley!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts! I would love to win this book! Thanks for the chance! I don't really have a favorite block yet....I'm learning and trying out as many different ones as I can. Right now I'm working on a Dresden Plate.....so, that's probably my favorite so far!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have a definite favorite block, but I am always drawn to star blocks the most. There are so many varieties!
ReplyDeleteAs of right now it's the bear paw because I just read about the bear paw quilt on this blog hop :)
ReplyDeleteMy current favorite is the flying Dutchman block.
ReplyDeleteI like a Dresden block. Thanks for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite block is the "T" block. It's versatile and fun. I think this book is a must have so thanks for the opportunity to win a copy.
ReplyDeleteFlying geest blocks and those blocks that create a 3D effect - like cubes or chunky letters - and Parla's pinwheels from Barbara Cline. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the square in a square, followed closely by the courthouse steps version of the log cabin block. Doesn't everybody love the log cabin?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the pinwheel very much. This looks like a great book!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pick one favorite from so many, but I love anyone that is kind of 'wonky'. I love the look of this book.
ReplyDeletei love flying geese.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say, anything that is a star!
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheels!
ReplyDeleteI like the dresden plate block, especially in brights....thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm.....hard decision--I guess the dresden plate. I love the circular design.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite blocks are star blocks; any design. Thanks for the giveaway!

I'm in love with "Orange peel". Although I'm not that great at executing it. Practice, practice, practice!
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of the drunkards path block, I have a thing for circles. This book looks really cool, such a good idea, love your wedding ring quilt too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is double wedding ring. Love the modern version you show with the gold/grey/black colors.
ReplyDeleteI've always been partial to pinwheel blocks. Thanks for the giveaway!

...fav block...log cabin..love making it moden!...thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts...and used to say Log Cabin was fave block...this year it has to be Churn Dash tho :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite quilt block changes every week! Right now I'd have to say the Arkansas Traveler.
ReplyDeleteWould love this Book!!!!
ReplyDeletehave to say i gravitate toward bow tie pattern often, definitely more than others that i also like....enjoy hand piecing them so it's relaxing fun....
ReplyDeleteI'm usually more of a traditionalist than "modern", but I love how the wedding ring quilt looks in modern colors! My favorite quilt block is Churn Dash
ReplyDeleteI love the Bear Paw but have never made a quilt using this block... I love the idea for one in the book, so that might be the ticket for me!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great book! Thanks for the video chat. Its very hard to pick a favorite block, but I like any design that gives an asymmetrical look to the block like a Log Cabin, Birds in the Air or Split 9 Patch. The layout possibilities are so fun with a block like that.
ReplyDeleteI love log cabin - so versatile! Love your modern double wedding ring - just stunning!
ReplyDeleteI love log cabin blocks. There are so many variations for them. Love the modern double wedding ring. The book looks very fun.
ReplyDeleteI have so many favorites that I'll never live long enough to sew them all! I'm embarking on making a postage stamp quilt right after I finish my 9 patch. I'd love to have this book. kthurn@bektel.com
ReplyDeleteI think the Log cabin is my favorite pieced block as it was my very first quilt in the 70's and one I did just this summer.
ReplyDeleteI love so many different quilt blocks, and appliqued blocks are especially appealing to me. But there are a couple -- the first couple that I learned to make-- that are and always will be two of my favorites--- Ohio Star and Shoo Fly. :-) The idea of showing classic blocks made up in modern fashion is SO interesting! Great idea for a book!! Thanks so much for the chance to win a copy! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love star blocks, but because there are so many blocks to choose from, my favorite block is the one I am working on at the time. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of the new book.
ReplyDeleteAnything with stars is a good quilt block!
