Hello and welcome to my little corner of the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 16 Road Rally Blog Tour. I'm so glad you've taken a few minutes out of your busy day to visit me! You are rolling your virtural "road rally" car into the beautiful countryside of Henderson, North Carolina. We're at the peak of the fall foilage this week, my favorite time of the year. I love the way the bright leaf colors pop against the gray skies.
This is my block for issue 16, "Grow a Little Love". It is block #1509. The pattern for this block appears on page 12 in the applique section of the magazine.
I designed and made a small wall hanging to showcase the Grow a Little Love block. This quilt features fabrics from the Peony Passion fabric line, by Lynnea Washburn, for Northcott Fabrics.

Adorable! I'm loving your 1800 farmhouse! I used to have an old farmhouse...1910 and it was charming. The country is a great place to raise a family! But I am older now and happy to be in the city.

I love flowers and planted quite a few different ones. Of all I would say Tulips for the perennial and marigolds for the annual. I love the smell of Marigolds and the bright bursts of color. For the tulips there are so many varieties. I planted a tulip garden with at least 30 different tulip bulbs.

What a cute block! I think that begonias are my favorite spring time flower. When they bloom I know that it isn't winter anymore in Alaska....at least I hope so.
ReplyDeleteCute block! My favorite flower is the calli lily.
ReplyDeleteI love applique! Your block is so pretty! I used to live in Waynesville, NC - not far from you - I went to college there! My favorite flower is a magnolia the fragrance is wonderful! Thank you for sharing, Susan
ReplyDeleteI love lilacs for their scent, but find that I love the various types of Day Lilies for inspiration.
ReplyDeletePretty block :) I am partial to the Coneflower. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love roses, "Peace Rose" is my absolute favorite. Your block is darling.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the daffodil.
ReplyDeleteI love flowers even the weeds that bloom, but for my garden I keep the weeds in the forest and as wild flowers and try to grow iris. Your block would be very special as a child grows so does it leaves. lkcquilts@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love the beauty of the iris, especially the large double colored ones! ncc01760@gmail.com
ReplyDeletePretty block! I love so many flowers but hydrangeas are my favorite.

ReplyDeleteFun pattern. My favorite is the southern gardenia which is more of a flowering bush than a flower - smells wonderful. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteConeflowers are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI would have to pick roses...my dad used to grow them by the bushels when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is the ladyslipper.

Sew very cute! My favorite flowers are carnations and gardenias. Both special and both fragrant. Although, when you mention peonies, I remember the scent of the gorgeous peonies lining my grandmother's garden wall, and blooming every summer when we'd visit and sleepover as groups of cousins. I miss my loving grandparents and I miss those peonies!

My favorite flower would have to be the rose. I really love your block. I think it would look great as a rock of kindness. I have been painting rocks and leaving them to brighten someone's day. I really like the heart shape of the flower and will have to make a rock with your pattern as my inspiration. Thank you for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love tiger lilys
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to daffodils. Growing up we had them in our yard and daffodils were my father's favorite flower. Congrats on the publish and the chance to win a copy of the magazine.
ReplyDeleteWonderful favorite Summer is Sunflower, Spring is Tulip indoor has to be Orchids.
ReplyDeletePretty block. I am partial to daffodils. But truly any flower is my favorite....except for maybe the one that smells like dead things....what is it called a corpse flower?
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is A Rose
ReplyDeleteI love the rose of sharons :) I know it's not a flower you put in the vase on the counter, but we have a small line of them on our metal fence line . They are such hard workers to grow, and be prolific. I wish their blossoms would last longer (and maybe because they are fairly new transplants) as their blossoms just last a week, if the Japanese beetles don't feast on them first. But they try to hang in there :) Congrats on your wonderful block and being in the vol 16!!! Wow! I can't believe it's been 16 volumes!!!
ReplyDeleteI love orchids.
ReplyDeleteA very cute block. I love all flowers and grow quite a few. My yard favourite is the lilac and I have about 10 different varieties and colours in the yard. Out of the yard, my favourite is anything my husband gives me for no reason at all. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a hard decision. I think I like the variety of dahlias. Congratulations on having your block in the latest volume.
ReplyDeleteI guess I would say peonies are my favorite...so sweet and simple.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is Forget Me Not.

ReplyDeleteAdorable block and I favor roses for their beauty & intoxicating aroma. rozz01 at cox dot net
ReplyDeleteRoses have always been my favorite but any flower will do!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother loved calla lilies. She gave me a piece of rootstock when i was a child and it has moved with me all these years. But last year the flood waters killed the plant. I think it was the worst of all my losses. We had 4 feet in the house.
ReplyDeleteComing back slowly, even now I look at a book online and say, oh, I HAD that book too!
I love my hibiscus flowers. I am trying to keep them going over the winter in my basement. They definitely don't like our Wisconsin winters! Cute block.
